As Above, So Below for Monday, 9 December 2024
The reading notes for today’s reading are below. You’re welcome to watch the video here.
- Significator runes: Kenaz (6th rune, the torch, expressing the light of spirit, healing, well-being, transformation, clarity, revelation, illumination) and Fortuna Major (greater fortune, success, ego, achievement, micromanaging, perfectionistic)
- Cards: 8 of Swords, Knight of Pentacles, 3 of Pentacles
- Patterns: a run on Pentacles (Earth element) and issues of material security, success
- Overall numerology:6+8+3=17; 1+7=8
SUMMATION
Kenaz and Fortuna Major begin today’s reading suggesting that your greatest fortune comes from expressing higher awareness. By doing so, you can see and understand the overall picture and what’s necessary to achieve success. The reading’s eight numerology reinforces this counsel with its interpretation of leadership, strength, material recognition, and approval.
Today’s cards included the 8 of Swords, the Knight of Pentacles, and the 3 of Pentacles. With the run on Pentacles, both cards align well with Kenaz and Fortuna Major, while the 8 of Swords likely involves letting go of perceptions that no longer serve so you can convey your ideas in line with achieving a successful outcome.
Today’s reading likely applies to a work situation, whether you’re in the role of owner/employer or a staff member charged with carrying out the daily work of the business. If you’re a staff member, conducting yourself with honesty, practicality, and integrity is important for both your success and the business’s success, and could draw attention from the boss that could ultimately result in a promotion. Or, if you’re the owner of the business, the same idea applies regarding how well customers or clients trust you to do what they’re hiring you to do. The 3 of Pentacles might be suggesting transparency because the man doing the work is doing it in full view of passersby who might want to hire him. The outlier of the reading, the 8 of Swords, suggests that you might have to go within to reevaluate your perceptions or beliefs that could impact the message you convey to others so that what you tell them is in line with their expectations, whether that’s the boss or prospective clients.
So, this reading may be challenging you to reevaluate the message you convey to others so it’s grounded in trust, pragmatism, and integrity, and not promising results that you cannot deliver, whether you’re an employee or a business owner, especially since Mercury is in retrograde for another week.
