Insights for Tuesday, August 25, 2026

The rune pull for today is Teiwaz.  It is the symbol for Tyr, but is also commonly associated with leadership, warrior's spirit, and courage.  Let's dive into this rune in love, career, and personal pursuits.

For love, this rune is telling you to lead.  Be brave enough to make the first step.  Have the courage to address the things that need to be addressed.  Keep the goal in sight and plan on victory as long as you act with honor.  Love is successful when there is self-sacrifice and responsibility.

For career, this rune is telling you to work with integrity.  Be honest about the work that you do, but also defend it.  Let there be honor in the pursuits of your hands towards providing a life for yourself and any that depend upon you.

For personal, this rune is telling you to let the fight come to you.  If there is a fight to be fought, it'll find its way to you.  Keep your strength of spirit close to your chest so that when the fight does come to you, you can pursue justice with courage and authority.  You are worth fighting for, regardless of what others might say or think.

Moving onto the tarot spread for today.
Past - Eight of Swords
Present - The Fool
Future - Three of Swords
Obstacle - The World
Solution - Ten of Swords

Two days in a row The World and ten of swords has made an appearance.  In this spread, the past speaks of self-imposed restrictions.  The present speaks to innocence and potential.  The future speaks to heartbreak.  The obstacle indicates completion of a journey.  The solution hints at dead ends.

This spread indicates that the past has been fraught with restrictions you've placed upon yourself that led to feelings of negativity or helplessness.  The here and now is full of opportunities and possibilities.  The future warns of sorrow and hurt, pain and grief.  With the obstacle being completion and accomplishments, the solution is to accept failures and painful endings.  Acceptance will bring about changes.

Between the rune and the tarot spread, it's clear that today is going to require strength regardless of how you face it.  Your past is behind you.  Your present holds opportunities, but could lead to heartbreak.  Your future will include emotional pain, but if you can accept that pain is part of the journey, you'll find fulfillment and success.

Until tomorrow, here's sending you love and light! ~ Solace
