With reading one we have the Two of Cups alongside the rune of Hathor.
Together they say, âLove grows where hearts feel safe to open and receive.â
This reading is really centred around connection, emotional balance, and that feeling of being genuinely met by another person. The Two of Cups is all about relationships that feel equal, supportive, and emotionally honest. Hathor brings in joy, celebration, sensual presence, and emotional restoration. Together, theyâre reminding you that meaningful connection isnât only built through serious conversations â it also grows through laughter, affection, shared experiences, and those small playful moments that help people relax and be themselves.
Over the next week, you might notice relationships feeling warmer or a little more emotionally open than usual. Someone could reach out to reconnect, or you might feel yourself thinking about or returning to a bond that once meant a lot to you. Thereâs a strong feeling here of emotional renewal, where joy or closeness you thought had faded may start showing back up again. You might also be reminded that youâre allowed to receive love, kindness, and appreciation without needing to overextend or prove yourself first.
Hathor also encourages you to let pleasure, beauty, and lightness be part of your emotional healing. That could look like listening to music that lifts your mood, being creative, spending time outside, or simply letting yourself feel comfortable and present in your own body. This is especially supportive energy if youâve been feeling disconnected from joy or unsure about trusting connection again.
This pairing can also show tenderness growing in partnerships or close friendships. You might notice softer communication, more affection, or shared moments that feel really grounding emotionally. The main advice here is not to overthink where things are heading. Let connection unfold naturally and trust that balance builds when giving and receiving both feel safe and comfortable.
With reading 2 we have Strength alongside the rune of Bastet.
Together they say, âGentle strength protects what truly matters.â
This reading is about quiet confidence, emotional courage, and learning how to hold your power in a calm and steady way. Strength reminds you that real resilience isnât loud or forceful â itâs patient, self-aware, and grounded. Bastet adds the energy of harmony in relationships while also encouraging you to protect your space, your peace, and your wellbeing. Thereâs a strong theme here around self-respect, emotional maturity, and finding peaceful solutions that still honour your needs.
During the week ahead, you might find yourself in situations where you need to speak honestly about boundaries or emotional limits. You may need to stand up for yourself or even support someone else, but in a way that doesnât escalate conflict. Bastet supports clear and respectful communication that lets your voice be heard without needing to become defensive or apologetic. You may even notice that people respond better when you stay calm but confident in what youâre saying.
Thereâs also a strong reminder here about rest and alone time. You might feel a bigger pull than usual to step back from busy or emotionally draining environments so you can recharge and reconnect with yourself. This isnât about withdrawing from people â itâs about refilling your energy so your relationships can actually feel more peaceful and genuine when youâre present in them.
Bastet also brings a gentle cleansing energy. You may feel drawn to shift habits, simplify routines, or release emotional patterns that quietly drain you. These changes donât have to be big or overwhelming. Small, steady steps toward balance and self-care are likely to bring noticeable benefits and help you feel more grounded as the week moves forward.
With reading 3 we have the Ace of Wands alongside the rune of Imhotep.
Together they say, âYour ideas gain power when you give them structure to grow.â
This reading is all about new beginnings, creative sparks, and that sudden wave of motivation that makes you feel like something wants to start growing in your life. The Ace of Wands brings passion, excitement, and fresh opportunity. Imhotep steps in with structure, strategy, and skill-building, reminding you that inspiration works best when itâs supported by planning and practical action. Together, they highlight how powerful it can be when you turn ideas into something real and tangible.
Over the next week, you might notice sudden bursts of inspiration or clarity around something you want to move toward. This could connect to career goals, creative interests, home projects, learning something new, or personal ambitions that have been quietly sitting in the background. You may feel more motivated or ready to begin something that previously felt overwhelming or out of reach. This energy is encouraging you to trust your instincts and recognise that your ideas are worth your time and effort.
This pairing also supports building your skills and getting organised around your priorities. You might feel drawn to learn something new, improve your craft, or create systems that make your daily life run more smoothly. Even small steps toward better organisation, time management, or planning can build confidence and help progress feel steady instead of rushed. Opportunities for growth or recognition could start appearing, especially if youâve been quietly preparing or waiting for the right moment to step forward.
Imhotep also brings a calm and focused energy that helps you direct your excitement into projects that feel meaningful and sustainable. You may notice yourself feeling more capable of handling responsibilities or making positive changes in your home or personal life. The main advice here is to begin â even if everything isnât perfectly mapped out yet. Consistent effort and being willing to learn as you go will help turn inspiration into something long-lasting and successful.
