September 2024 Readings
Guidance for Sept. 29th ,2024:
Collective : US Election “Secret Result”
Nature of problem: Excess Yin & 3 die
Danger I see: 4 of Pentacles
Hidden danger: 10 of Swords Reversed
Best Weapon for Success: 8 of Pentacles Reversed
Outcome: High Priestess
The Nature of our collective (3) problem seems to be ‘too much Yin’ which has brought a stagnation both in health & in life leading to lethargy & even sluggish systems. This leads to overindulgence & people becoming apathetic. 3 is a social number, indicating a gathering of people, assembling to hold onto power. With the High Priestess here, it could speak to hidden or secret meetings of control groups. What was in balance has now reached a tipping point & a stalemate will break. The Danger We Can See is that these fat, gluttonous, lazy systems are trying to maintain control & resist any change that could move the collective in a different direction. They attempt to block new developments, wanting things to stay the same. They quite enjoy the status quo & are not willing to give it up. Do not mistake this victim-screaming group as being down & out or powerless by any stretch. The Hidden Danger represented by the reversed 10oS, warns this was just a pause in the battle to analyze how to proceed & turn things around. Driven by motivation to improve from past mistakes, there’s a chance they’ve “built back better”, regrouped, ready to stand up & fight back stronger than ever. Our Best Weapon for Success over this control group is to work harder than ever to push that tipping point in a new direction. Exceed their efforts, not just match them while paying meticulous attention to details and maintain due diligence. Apathetically coasting through will not bring reward. Exert extra effort ensuring everything is what it should be and not casually letting errors, improprieties, misconduct & corruption pass uncontested. The Outcome is represented by the HP, a card of waiting & watching. The outcome will be shrouded in mystery, perhaps colored with ‘glamour’, and may bounce back & forth a few times. Change & transition is here, but what that is, will be unknown at the time. A central force that unites dark and light, the transition between worlds, the HP is the ruler “Of what we don’t know”. The answer may not be clear initially & may take further exploration. Knowledge & truth are hidden & protected, access granted to a select few who have the “right keys”. Some may believe that access to these answers is to be protectively withheld “for our own good” & would rather release them at a more opportune time so that it can be truly heard or accepted. One should listen & trust what their own inner voice is saying as well as being observant to the patterns & signs that appear, rather than to external sources or your own rationale as to what’s true. The time to reveal may not arrive until possibly Aries season.
Guidance for Sept 22th, 2024:
"Re-animation”
Present reality: Anxiety & Walking away
Resist: Judgement
Accept: Crossroads reversed (the Lovers)
New Normal: The Alchemist
Present reality has become so uncomfortable twisting one’s mind into a loop of brooding & self-pity. The amount of distress/anxiety felt has you ready to wave the white flag in surrender, walk away & move on, come what may. It’s obvious things cannot continue this way. Interestingly, both cards reduce to a 9, signaling you’ve almost had it, be it a relationship, career goal, or a long-term experience-you are DONE. But before announcing, “Beam me up, Scotty” giving in to the impulse of cutting & running, weigh both sides & try to discern the truth prior to taking a stand & making a judgement. A decision may not be necessary right at this moment. Take time to reconsider & assess the matter before condemning- dig up what’s really going on here. If a move must eventually be made, it can be done without casting blame or punishing the other. See it as an opportunity to self-examine life patterns & learn these karmic lessons rather than being fated to repeat them. Although you may feel out of step with your partner, Crossroads reversed also warns against impulsive decisions based on selfishness & miscommunication. As uncomfortable as it may be, now is the time for honest conversations about why you do not seem to be on the same page & to determine the best course of action moving forward. It’s a “come to Jesus” moment, if you will, to resuscitate whatever’s been on life support for far too long. Stop & address these issues before you make any important decision; otherwise it may drive you into further conflict. The Alchemist, like the Magician, can transmute & perform miracles, giving life to what was previously lifeless. Each party has the tools & resources to turn this into something worthwhile, but it’s going to take communication, desire, love and effort to recreate, reshape and change this energy into something that once again matters. If both can come to understand what they really want & are committed to recapturing this goal, the entity they’ve created together can be recharged with purpose & intention.
Guidance for Sept 15th, 2024:
“Action, Protection & Growth”
Where do you need to take action? Opposer
Where do you need to play 2 roles? The Protector
What keeps you comfortably imprisoned? Explorer
A Need to Take Action: “I am” the one that needs to challenge. The Opposer card signals a time of conflict & struggle. External forces are restricting your progress, and you're called to face these challenges head-on. This is not a moment for passivity or waiting for rescue; it's time to embody the Warrior energy of Aries and Mars. The fiery energy of the “great motivator”, Mars, helps us become inspired to make changes & initiate events. Diplomacy & contemplation have run their course, it’s time to jump into action & get things done. “ Move or be Destroyed” by this opposer but success will not happen without a fight-be prepared for resistance. This power to combat what’s being opposing you must rise from within you. Note: Stagnation equals Death-without movement there’s no life.
Protecting Your Contrasting Roles: There are two distinct aspects of your life that demand equal attention & protection. Each is a valuable & integral aspect to who you are. The Protector card emphasizes the need to keep these aspects of your life separate. For the safety & integrity of each role, compartmentalization becomes crucial. Whether you're balancing the roles of parent & sexual partner or navigating the divide between your professional & personal life, each facet deserves to feel secure & protected when presented to the world; each having its rightful time & place. Be cautions against actions that might harm either role or blur the lines between roles. E.g. Maintain separate email accounts, phones, or social media profiles. By safeguarding these roles from being jeopardized by the other, you allow yourself to fully inhabit each aspect of your identity without compromising the other.
Feeling uncomfortably imprisoned? : The Explorer appears to help break someone out of their comfort zone. Some relationships are held ‘small’ out of comfort, with each partner growing more passive & less flexible over time. These two may be experiencing aspects of co-dependency, possessiveness or jealousy & confinement. The Explorer signals a period of learning & self-discovery; encouraging a person to widen their world. Break the contract you made to stay small. One can make a partnership more meaningful, enhancing its value & significance by in vesting in some personal growth, self-development & exploring beyond our individual bubbles. This requires both partners to be willing to sacrifice some closeness, letting each other explore more about who they really are as individuals. See as an opportunity to inject freshness into the relationship, foster new growth, & broaden limiting beliefs about themselves and the world around them
Guidance for Sept 8th, 2024:
"Retreat from Battle"
Theme: Standstill
Nature of standstill is 3 of pentacles
Do this: 9 of Wands
Don’t do this: 8 of Wands
The current situation is marked by a complete halt in progress & communication. What was once a collaborative effort has devolved into an atmosphere of distrust & isolation. The energy feels frozen & impossibly blocked, leaving each party feeling alone & withdrawn. However, it's crucial to understand that this impasse is unfolding in ways beyond your current comprehension. Unseen forces are at work, orchestrating events for a greater purpose. Resist the urge to take this personally or allow it to diminish your self-worth. This ongoing struggle has pushed you to your limits, leaving you exhausted from repeated attempts to move towards resolution. You've explored every avenue, feeling as though you've reached the end of your rope. No one can question your dedication, but there comes a point where persistence borders on self-punishment. Now is the time to dig deep & draw upon your inner reserves. However, instead of continuing to push externally, focus on holding yourself together. Accept that you've done all you can for the moment. It's crucial to rest & regenerate your depleted energy. No one can make healthy decisions when drained from constant conflict. For the benefit of all involved, step back & accept the current hardship. Shift your focus inward, nourishing your well-being & restoring your inner strength. This period of self-care will prepare you to act effectively when the situation eventually thaws. Resist the urge to make another rushed attempt at resolution. Firing off more arrows in rapid succession, as if time is running out, will only create additional conflict. Don't expect quick or easy answers to this "whiteout" situation. A successful resolution isn't possible right now. Avoid applying outward pressure or launching repeated attacks to force movement or results. This approach will leave you spinning your wheels, getting nowhere fast & becoming more entrenched in the problem. Instead, concentrate on daily maintenance activities & patiently wait it out. The time for action will come, but for now, laying low is your best strategy.
Guidance for Sept 1st 2024:
“Restoration of Faith & Fire”
Theme: Kenaz Reversed:
What Weakness Can I Overcome? The Waker-Fire
What Strength Can I Lean Into? The Priest-Water
Advice: 3 of Wands
Reversed Kenaz, signals a period of disillusionment & loss. There’s a shortage of vital energy & a loss of warmth in relationships leaving you in a state of uncertainty & coldness. This diseased coldness is destructive & it’s difficult to find peace. You're painfully aware that something significant in your life has outlived its time & is crumbling away. It also speaks to a lack of knowledge, wisdom, & direction as you feel you've lost your path. Kenaz, is also a rune about inner change. Its revelatory wisdom can change your very being through illumination, dissolving your old state & reconfiguring you to a new one. However, presently you're lacking in self-understanding & awareness of the deeper meaning here. Kenaz advises you to accept reality & learn from it. The Waker energy calls you to open your eyes to what's happening around & within you. Be aware of how this overwhelming period has been dampening your inner spark, potentially causing long-term harm. It's crucial to recognize that false hopes have led you to ignore important patterns & dynamics at play. It's time to bring this destructive energy into the light. However, don't despair. The Priest energy encourages you to hold onto faith. Trust that this ending, though challenging, is necessary for personal growth. Misfortune & tragic events bring their own lessons yet new sources of light & fire will re-enter your life. Lean into your resilience and perseverance, and if applicable, your religious faith, to restore inspiration & the desire to build a better future. The Three of Wands offers advice for moving forward. After a period of patience & waiting, you'll be able to rekindle the fire in your belly and progress. Think optimistically long-term and be open to new experiences outside of your comfort zone. Remember, this period of darkness is necessary for a new source of light to enter your life. Your courage, informed and anchored by faith, will help you anticipate the future with hope for improvement. Be patient, introspective, and ready to embrace change when the time comes.
