Concerned with communication, with the attunement of something that has two sides, two elements and with the ultimate reunion that comes as the end of the journey, when what is above and what is below is united and of one mind. The journey is the soul's journey. Moreover, the approach of that which is above and that which is below is realized from inmost sentiment rather that through the force of circumstances.

A simple prayer for the soul's journey is:       I will to will thy will

Such a prayer of intention is proper on almost any occasion and is particularly suitable as a preamble to healing. Raido, is a rune of self transformation. Inner worth mounts here and at such a time we must remember that we are not intended to rely entirely upon our own power, but rather to ask what constitutes right action. Ask through prayer, through addressing your own knowing, the Witness Self, the watcher within. Once you are clear, you can neutralize your refusal to let right actions flow through you. Not intent on movement, be content to wait: while you wait, keep on moving resistances. As the obstructions give way, all remorse arising from ' Trying to make it happen ' disappears. As always the journey is toward self healing, self change and union. You are concerned here with nothing less than un-obstruction, perfect union. But the union of Heaven and Earth cannot be forced. Keep within your limits. Regulate any excesses in your life. Material advantages must not weigh heavily on this journey of the self towards the self. Trust in your own process - that is the essence of this year ahead. Keep on cutting away illusions. Stand apart even from like-minded others; the notion of strength in numbers does not apply at this time, for this part of the journey cannot be shared. Inner most feelings, spontaneously expressed, is what is called for now. Raido urges you to undertake your journey, your quest - and if you have already begun, to continue.
