Uffdah! When a person draws Ansuz, Hagalaz, and Hagalaz, how can the day be good? Messages, Hail/Anger, Hail/Challenges don't bring a day of ease, do they?
Ansuz brings messages. What messages did you receive today? Do they get in your face? Do they sneak up on you and then demand your attention? Do they shyly walk up and quietly ask if you have time for them? Do they address your current life? Do they address your future?
Hagalaz has great disruptive power and it is very fitting that anger and challenges are tied to this basic element. Anger does not need to be your own. If it is yours, own it, recognize the cause, the solution, pursue the solution, and then release your anger. You will feel better for it. If the anger belongs to another, do not allow that anger to invade you and cloud your own life and judgement. Instead, ask yourself, can you do anything about it? Is the anger directed at you or around you? Direct being towards you pointedly as a result of action/inaction, statements, etc. Around you is anger without a defined target or a target that is not attainable (such as a supervisor or a Higher Power) and is looking for a listening ear and a body willing to support the anger. Once the target is identified and you know if it is solvable, solve it (if needed), and then release it. Refrain from joining the mob of anger. It will only ruin your day. Honest. That process is the challenge. Your innate challenges also fall into place. Do you have the power to make a change? Influence a change? Or is it outside of your circle of influence? The answer to these three questions will be an indication of how much energy is appropriate to spend on the challenge.
Raido and Perth reversed are my tasks for tonight. Am I stalled in my journey? Do I need to take this time to take the initiative to stop and consider my foundation? Am I in too much of a hurry? Do I need outside help? Do I need to surrender myself to a higher being or person or feeling? Am I disregarding my feelings? Do I need to feed these feelings? Many things to consider and work on before I can progress.
