General Description:
The people of Tibet are most superstitious. It is the custom for almost everyone to wear charms. The Amulet-box illustrated contains small inscribed scrolls covered with magical characters. These magical formulae are written and blessed by their Lamas. The scrolls are believed to be all powerful spells for appeasing evil spirits, keeping the wearers from all physical harm, safeguarding them from every kind of danger, and protecting them from the blighting effects of the evil eye. Many of these charm boxes are of gold elaborately chased, and encrusted with turquoise.
The Red Dragon represents success, achievement and fulfillment. The three tiles under the Red Dragon tile will influence the power your Red Dragon currently has in your life
Wan 2
Symbol: Sword
The Sword tile indicates a decision must be made before attainment of your goals can be reached.
Wan 9 Symbol: Heaven
The Heaven tile suggests completion. This tile denotes a time for you to consider moving on to your next goal.
Circles 7
Symbol: Insect
The Insect tile indicates short-term gain through a short flurry of hectic work. It is important to realize that the gains the Insect tile offers are not lasting, or of long-term importance. At best they are a stopgap until more substantial goals come along.
White Dragon
Symbol: The Unknown
The White Dragon tile denotes unknown factors in your reading. Exactly what these factors are is beyond our vision, but they will have an impact on your life.
Ancient culture associate Magpies with excellent fortune—so it looks like you’ve got something really terrific coming into your life today. However, you may need to search a little to understand the true gift that’s being presented. Pay attention to omens, messages, the clouds, feathers, bird song—your fortune is hidden in those subtle messages. Opportunity is knocking at your door—will you answer?
Past Influence whose impact on your life is waning.
The Swan
The elegant Swan is an ideal symbol of beauty and grace. Its flowing curves and fluid movement give an ethereal air of perfection realized. The Swan’s beauty embodies the feminine (Yin) qualities of intuition and sensitivity. But The Swan does not begin life as a creature who appears to be the creation of divine inspiration. Indeed at birth The Swan is an ungainly creature that lacks any indications of the magnificent being it is destined to become. The Swan’s transformation from ordinary to extraordinary have made it an emblem of discovering the beauty and power of your true self.
Present Influence whose impact on your life is very strong.
The Beacon
The Beacon symbolizes both guidance to safe harbors and a warning of dangerous waters. The Beacon is represented by a lighthouse atop jagged rocks with its powerful light cutting a path that leads to an adjacent entrance to a calm harbor on a stormy night. The Beacon suggest that if you look for it, there is a general path for you to follow to reach a place of peace and harmony. However, The Beacon itself sets upon rough ground, so you must still step carefully as you follow it to quiet waters.
Future influence whose impact on your life is growing and will be very strong in the future.
The Open Door
The Open Door signifies the presence of new opportunities. However, to reap the benefits of these prospects you will have to move beyond where you are now–forsake the comforts and safety of your current life and head out in new directions. Moves like those symbolized by The Open Door require courage, because fresh opportunities signify the chance of gain, but do not guarantee they will be realized. Regardless of the benefits that may be reaped, with the transitions like those required to explore these new found opportunities, something is always lost. Before launching on a voyage down new paths it is a good idea to objectively assess your current state of being and decide whether what you have now is worth jeopardizing.
Unlike the beneficent Easter Dragon, The Western Dragon is a symbol of totally unleashed destructive power that is set upon anyone who crosses the Dragon’s path. The Western Dragon also hordes treasures that should rightfully be ours, and whose absence deprives us from being complete. The challenges set before us by the Western Dragon are truly prodigious, because they denote a force whose sole intent is not simply to keep us from moving forward in our lives, but to usurp all that we have previously gained as well. What is even more disturbing about the force behind the Western Dragon is that it may well indicate primal forces in ourselves so powerful that they do in fact turn us into our own worst enemy.
As a daily card, The Western Dragon is a powerful negative force intent upon thwarting your progress. In such a short time frame it is most likely you’re being undermined by an external force–someone who wants what you have gained or gains your are near realizing. While formidable, this bellicose entity does have vulnerabilities. First, there is nothing subtle about the forces represented by The Western Dragon, so the source will be easy for you to identify. Secondly, The Western Dragon represents undisciplined, primal energies that aren’t easy to control, so they are susceptible to logical responses steeped in self control. In short, don’t panic, act deliberately and decisively, and you will weather this storm
Meaning: This is a rune of difficulty and negative influences will rule your life for a time, but as all difficulties are a learning experience it will lead to improved personal perspective and progress on your life’s path. Always consult the surrounding runes with this stone. If it lies with a positive stone, it indicates that the pain of this experience will lead to a beneficial change in circumstances
Only The Universe card of the Crowley Tarot can match the blessings that come with The Sun. While it certainly doesn’t promise a life’s path without some bumps in the road, The Sun indicates all will be well. The Sun is our Cosmic Nurturer. Life flourishes under its radiant beams. It provides the illumination to find Truths and lights one’s path so they do not get lost. To stand in the rays of The Sun is to shine. To absorb its energy promotes growth, exceptional physical and mental health, and good fortune. The Sun is empowering, elevating and fills those who bask in it with confidence and sense of self-worth.
Ansuz represents mankind’s spiritual connection to God and the universe. It is often referred to as the “God Rune.” This Rune embodies reason, truth and justice. It denotes the coming of knowledge and true counsel from a higher authority.
The Present Sowilo
The Sun Rune, denotes power and strength. That which you want may be attained. Sowilo also denotes mental clarity and added warmth to your relationships.
The Future Fehu
Fehu is the Rune of prosperity, good luck and unbridled creative energies. Being associated with Frey, this Rune is also a powerful omen of fertility. Fehu is one of the three Mother Stones and should never be taken lightly.
Ehwaz represents movement. You may be closing in on reaching your current goals. Your life may be changing for the better. Harmony with others should come easy for you at this time.
Additional information about Today’s Rune, Ehwaz…..
ANALYSIS: The horse has been a powerful symbol in nearly every culture and every age. They were often believed to draw the sun about the heavens. Strong, swift and loyal, their relationship with humankind is unique. They allow us to perform tasks that would normally be beyond our strength, and to travel distances that would normally be beyond our reach. The mare symbolizes fertility and fecundity, and the stallion is the epitome of virility and raw energy. It is an animal that never lost its power by being domesticated.Like the sun which is its counterpart, ehwaz represents energy and motion. In this case, however, there is also respect for the source of the power to be considered. This is not merely an impersonal energy source – it is a living, breathing thing whose needs and desires must be taken into consideration, rather than be simply used as a slave. This is the power that was given by the God at algiz, and this rune reminds us of our oath to only use it to help, never to harm. Like the two-edged sword, the horse is a powerful tool, but must be carefully controlled to avoid harming yourself or other. It is tempting to just go barrelling along recklessly, but to do so is to risk loosing that power forever. This is the balance that must be achieved on the path of pure magic.
The Emperor is blessed with the skills to successfully lead others. He can turn chaos into order and provide structure to that which is unbound. He is quick of mind and confident in his power and right to rule, and does so in a just manner. Although stern by nature, he truly is the ultimate father figure. He will provide as needed, teach those with unanswered questions, protect the vulnerable, set and maintain boundaries. His perfect world runs on schedule and is free of any disturbances. What the Emperor must be wary of is setting boundaries and rules where none are needed. If he isn’t careful not to over use his powers he may well become a tyrant.
While the morning can find your thinking a little fuzzy and perhaps in need of a rest or a creative distraction, dear Aries, as the day progresses, your concentration and focus increases. You can in fact do quite a bit today, finding it rather natural to hone in on flaws, prioritize, and organize. You are especially invested in your current projects, and it’s important that you have the freedom to do your work in your own way. You’ll get a whole lot more done independently now, but the Moon in your sign all day does incline you to want some acknowledgement or a feeling of reinforcement.
Taurus
Taurus
The Moon pulled into your privacy and soul sector last night, dear Taurus. This is a monthly brief transit that lasts about two and a half days, reminding you of your need for emotional regeneration and renewal. This can be a time of working under the radar, less visibility, and of focus on review and processing recent events and feelings. You may be closing a chapter on something in your life, or simply feeling the need for extra rest. The Moon’s easy connection with Saturn today can help you to better see what attitudes and situations that you are better off leaving behind you. It’s not always that practicality and emotions combine so easily, so take advantage of this clearer grip on reality.
Gemini
Gemini
There can be a bit of mental fog in the early hours today, dear Gemini, with your ruler, Mercury, in challenging aspect to Neptune, the planet of illusion. However, as the day moves forward, you’re likely to get a stronger grip on your priorities, and you may very well enjoy filling your responsibilities, as you feel especially capable of doing so. You may be dealing with issues of assertion and accommodation with friends today, and have a better chance of finding a nice balance. It’s easier than usual to put some emotions aside in order to accomplish something important to you right now. You may be seeing the more reliable side of others, and fully appreciating it.
Cancer
Cancer
There is an inclination for you to want to go your own way today, dear Cancer, but also a stronger sense of your duties as well as others’ expectations. You may be in the position of leader or manager now, and can adopt this role quite naturally at the moment. Try not to carry more than your fair share of the load, unless you’re totally happy doing so. The expression “be careful what you’re good at” might apply now, as there is a tendency for others to expect you to take over. Don’t overload yourself. There can be interesting insight into a partnership or close friendship now.
Leo
Leo
The day may get off to a bit of a murky start, dear Leo, but rather quickly begins to stimulate your ambitions, desire to produce, and urge to take care of priorities. If you have a hobby, pet project, or studies that could use some attention and focus, this is a strong time for directing your energies into them. When it comes to learning, you are taking a hands-on and self-directed approach, needing to see results for yourself in order to remain engaged. The practical side of your mind is in strong focus now. It’s easier to put emotions aside and block out distractions in order to get something done.
Virgo
Virgo
The day can begin with some misunderstandings or confusion, dear Virgo, but as it advances, you’re more inclined to want to roll up your sleeves and get things done, particularly when it comes to domestic chores. It’s a day for taking measured steps towards a goal rather than attempting to push forward quickly. You can be feeling a stronger drive to feel more secure and orderly in your home or base of operations. While responsibilities in your personal life are increasing these days, you feel more equipped than usual to take care of them.
Libra
Libra
You can feel strongly motivated to understand a close relationship or to know where you stand with someone today, dear Libra. You are showing your affection in practical ways these days, and others may not be especially forthcoming with their appreciation, but their actions are likely to speak volumes now. You’re especially skilled at bringing others together or encouraging people to get along today. You may find yourself in the role of mediator or go-between, and you’re quite competent in this position! The Moon spends the day and all of tomorrow in your partnership sector, putting your emotional focus quite squarely on your relationships. While you should probably watch for over-investing in them, it’s generally a good time to bond and improve your connections.
Scorpio
Scorpio
You can experience a stronger drive to seek security and to see tangible results for your efforts today, dear Scorpio, although you might begin the day feeling less than focused. You’re inclined to want to work on your own or at your own pace, and you might find it easier to block out the usual distractions. This is a time for developing a better balance between supporting or assisting others, and asserting your authority. It’s a good time in general for handling the details that will further your long-term goals or career, and this is highlighted today.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
In the early hours of the day, you might find it difficult to concentrate, dear Sagittarius, and we should watch for a tendency to misunderstand others or skip instructions. However, as the day moves forward, you can be feeling increasingly more focused and interested in seeing some results. Ambitions are gently nurtured, and you can be especially realistic, but you’re also inclined to want to focus on some fun or creative pursuits, making it a good time to work on hobbies or pet projects. People may be recognizing your competence or natural talents, which further motivates you to do your best.
Capricorn
Capricorn
Your brain may need a little break early today, dear Capricorn, with Mercury in your sign in challenging aspect to Neptune. You might want to feed your mind something imaginative or creative. As the day advances, there is a growing desire to get things done, and you’re most interested in tackling problems at their root. Home and family matters tend to fare well now, but possibly at the expense of other life “departments” today. Still, you seem to need to get your domestic life running smoothly before taking on the world, and this is a good time to do so.
Aquarius
Aquarius
You may be taking on a nurturing or supportive role today, dear Aquarius, and while the early hours of the day may find you and people around you a little foggy-minded, as the day moves forward, you are more and more productive. You are radiating a real air of competence now, so don’t be surprised if others turn to you for help or to take the lead in some practical way. There can be a pioneering streak that emerges, as you’re interested in getting a jump on things. Friendships and making connections can be in focus, but you’re also inclined to thrive in self-directed activities at the moment.
Pisces
Pisces
The early hours of the day can stimulate misunderstandings, missed directions, or some form of confusion, dear Pisces, but once these are sorted, you become clearer and more focused. In fact, this is a day of increased responsibility, so take advantage. Your sense of practical priorities is strong. The desire to have a little more control of your life is a motivating factor now, and the need for tangible results improves your self-discipline. Responsibilities to loved ones are in focus, and instead of feeling burdened, you’re more inclined to want to roll up your sleeves and get down to business today.
You are a practical person but at the same time highly creative–a rare combination! Others quite naturally respect you. With so many talents and interests, it can be hard to choose only one path. Many of you have quite a few sideline hobbies. Most of you are very good with words. The key to success is focus, which might come a little later in life. You are a little temperamental, and others don’t always know what to expect from you as a result.
