Allowing Truth To Resonate ~ Rune & Tarot for 17 Nov 2016

Court cards are interesting in that they can represent either the individual on the card, or the qualities thereof. If several are present, observing their placement in relationship to the others can also be interesting to consider. Are they looking at each other perhaps in conversation, and so forth. The youthful Princess of Disks (Pentacles or Coins in other decks) represents the earthy part of Elemental Earth. She is studious, self-disciplined and gracious, reliable and conscientious. She has always been careful in her life, observing, taking in everything around her. The Page in other decks, this card can also indicate the bearer of news. But at the heart of this card from Crowley’s Thoth tarot deck is the Princess as she gathers information together for a purpose greater than herself.

Fehu, the first card of the Elder Futhark, centers on wealth and money matters. As a Fire Element rune, Fehu is considered the sending rune as it can be utilized to send intention in combination with other runes in rune magick. Success is achieved with the energy and influence of Fehu, a positive outcome assured with its presence.

As Fehu is also associated with cattle, its energy of abundance and wealth seems to be of a tangible nature. But is it always so? The studious nature of the Princess suggests an inner, spiritual focus. It’s not just about gathering information, but aligning with who she is. It’s there that true transformation is found. We find that quiet still point within and allow our truth to resonate, using the energy and influence of Fehu to send that truth to the universe. Filled with hope for the future, the Princess extends that hope to all.

The numerology of the reading is 1, or new beginnings. Development of Self is felt with the number one as we begin anew in some fashion. Interestingly, the numerology of the day is 9, or completion. So there’s a sense that we’re ending one phase and beginning another. And if the Court Cards were numbered, the Princess would be an 11, or illumination. As the Princess aligns within, she draws from her Source Presence, the well of illumination if you will, with Fehu bringing an intensity to that alignment.

Whenever I draw the Princess of Disks, I feel the energy of youthful potential. The future is still unwritten for all of us. We’re experiencing uncharted territory and many have cause for concern. But the potential for success is still ours. My mother used to say, this too shall pass, to her oh so impatient daughter. And she’s right. What may come may be difficult but it is as it is. The light of truth will replace whatever nonsense we have to endure.

Blessings to all.
