The reading notes for today’s reading are below. You’re welcome to watch the video here.
- Significator runes: Isa (11th rune, Norn rune, ice, consciousness, stillness, alignment in Spirit, focus, contraction, freezing unwanted behavior) and Albus (sage, clarity, higher wisdom)
- Cards: The Emperor, Judgment, 2 of Cups
- Patterns: a run on Major Arcana cards which, along with Isa and Albus, suggests soul-archetype or higher consciousness influences
- Overall numerology: 11+4+20+2=37; 3+7=10; 1+0=1 (new beginnings, talent, leadership, the self); or 11 as a Master number for awakening, enlightenment, and illumination, plus 4+20+2=26; 2+6=8 (leadership, strength, material recognition/approval)

SUMMATION
Today’s reading can be read from either a personal level or from a societal one, so I’ll briefly relate both interpretations.
Personal Level: Something may have occurred between you and a partner where you need to go within to understand the situation from higher awareness. One of you could be trying to control the other at the expense of the relationship, and you need a higher level of wisdom or awareness to understand what’s happening so you can offer the best response to it. The Emperor could represent the expression of perceived authority that is undermining the balance in the relationship. Judgment would then be the moment where you align in Isa to awaken to the truth of the situation (Albus), whether you’re the one represented by the Emperor or it’s your partner (or employer, or some other external influence in your life) that’s creating the drama. After awakening and achieving a greater understanding, the man in the 2 of Cups may represent you expressing the intention to heal the rift that has occurred, or it could simply reflect the greater understanding of healing from love and rebuilding the harmony that should exist.
Societal Level: As we all know, the tariffs are being implemented, which many in the know are saying will have an extraordinarily devastating impact on the country and the world. Before you react in fear or panic, Isa counsels you to align in higher consciousness, allow higher wisdom to control you reactions (Albus), and then assert yourself in a way (The Emperor) that reflects an awakening to the truth of these actions (Judgment) so you can come together with others (family, friends, neighbors, community, country) to put an end to the drama and heal the damage done by patriarchal forces who want to assert or stay in control.
Irrespective of how the reading resonates for you today, it’s clear that an awakening to the truth of the matter needs to happen before any real response can be expressed or any healing can take place. Authority figures, even if that involves the dominant partner in a relationship or partnership, can cause incredible chaos that impacts trust. Given that there are so many higher consciousness influences in the reading, in my opinion, it suggests that the impact could be difficult or devastating. But instead of succumbing to all of that, this situation, again, whether personal or societal, is providing a catalyst for everyone involved to understand the overall picture or the truth that’s remained hidden thus far, and it may be now impossible for anyone to look away from or ignore whatever deception or game that’s been played. Both Major Arcana cards, along with Isa and Albus, are asking you to wake up and know the truth, and then act accordingly by coming together with others to collaborate, support, and heal.
