As Above, So Below for Thursday, 7 November 2024

---

The reading notes for today’s reading are below. You’re welcome to watch the video here.

• Significator runes: Ansuz (4th rune, Odin’s rune, god, eloquence, higher awareness, divine message, Spirit communication, Higher Self, divinity within, clarity); Albus (sage, wisdom, clarity)
• Cards: 2 of Swords, The High Priestess, 8 of Wands
• Patterns: inner awareness (Ansuz, Albus, The High Priestess), a run on 2s.
• Overall numerology: 4+2+2+8=16; 1+6=7 (balance, observation, allowing things to settle, justice, magick, spirituality)

SUMMATION

Ansuz and Albus align well together as they begin today’s reading. On the as above side, Ansuz, as Odin’s rune, describes higher clarity and wisdom along with eloquence and possibly a divine message, while on the so below side, Albus describes the same principles. The overall numerology of seven reinforces both runes with stepping back to observe and gaining a higher or overall perspective.

The High Priestess begins the reading with the Priestess invoking balance, inner awareness, subconscious, and divine wisdom. We see parallels not only with the 2 numerology between the High Priestess and the 2 of Swords but also with the appearance of the crescent Moon and a stone bench in each card. The 2 of Swords represents a decision that’s made dispassionately or without her emotions influencing that decision. Again, she enters her inner world which aligns well with the message of the High Priestess and the higher wisdom achieved through both Ansuz and Albus.

Finally, the 8 of Wands describes a lot coming in on you today. This can apply to work or other issues in your life that may feel overwhelming. But the counsel from both Ansuz and Albus, as well as from the High Priestess and the 2 of Swords, is to take a step back and evaluate the situation without overreacting to its enormity. In other words, understand the whole picture as best you can and then react to what’s happening more dispassionately. The 8 of Wands invokes a bunch of energy or a feeling of pushiness that needs to be managed and potentially prioritized, and the numerology of eight suggests both leadership and strength. So it suggests that you’ll likely draw from both inner awareness and strength to deal with what’s coming in on you today so you’re not so overwhelmed by the moment that you can’t respond effectively.

So, if this resonates for you, there could be lots of stuff coming in today that requires you to control your reactions and not become overwhelmed, especially if you’re in a leadership position or at least the person who makes the final decision. You need to express yourself with eloquence and higher wisdom and then come up with a plan to address and manage whatever it is that’s happening.

Blessed Be
