The image
The scene has an other-worldly quality. A light similar to bright moonlight seems to come from everywhere and nowhere. In the foreground sits the figure of an old Amerindian – a female who could easily be mistaken for a male. She wears a shapeless one-piece garment, sits on the ground and is throwing some small objects such as stones, held in her closed hand, onto the ground. Behind her we see a lake with a large flat rock next to it, upon which a stallion unicorn rears up towards the sky.
The portrait/meaning
As the type in touch with the Unconscious, the Seer carries the weight of untold secrets – of knowledge that cannot be shared with the man in the street. This type is in some ways far removed from the common man (or woman) and is likely to be solitary – often in an obvious external sense, but always in the inner dimension.
You have abilities of clairvoyance or clairaudience, various psychic gifts, or an acutely developed ‘sixth sense’. If you do not work as a clairvoyant or medium, you will do well in any situation where a keen intuition is an advantage. You could be a stock market investor, entrepreneur, gambler or detective. Whatever the case, you will succeed not by method but by flair – by backing your hunches. The hallmark of your type is the possession of power, or psychic force. You can make things happen because you have access to the resources of the Unconscious. This is dangerous territory – you have to guard not only against predators from out there, but also against bigotry, intolerance and even persecution by those who fear and envy your knowledge and powers. These abilities put you in a position to teach, just as you have learnt from others, both on this plane and beyond. How will you discharge this obligation to pass on what you know?
On the debit side, the serious nature of your practice means that you are likely to be heavy and lacking in the social graces. Given the awesome nature of the Unconscious, those who navigate it steer perilously close to obsession. Once tuned in, it may become problematic for you to tune out. How does a spy on mission go off duty? Perhaps your biggest difficulty as a Seer is the disjunction between the vastness of your vision and the limitations of your ability to communicate it. Your type is the introvert par excellence – you have great depth, can draw on huge inner resources, but you may struggle to make affectionate contact with others. If you teach, your success will depend above all on the compelling nature of the material you offer, rather than on the emotional bond that you create with your pupils. The issue which will determine your level of fulfilment as a human being is that of grounding. It is of the utmost importance that you find a way – such as through a person close to you – to make a bridge between your world and the consensus reality, the place where people are deaf, blind and ignorant, but gifted in the enjoyment of simple pleasures! Finally, the rewards of power can seduce seers into potentially catastrophic failures in self-awareness, leading you ultimately to use your power not to heal, but to harm.
In conclusion, as a Seer, to develop the possibilities inherent in your nature is to leave yourself with no choice but that of struggling with particular obstacles to achieving a rounded personality.
Divinatory meanings:
Seeing below the surface, not being taken in by appearances; being in touch with your dreams; intuitive awareness; trusting your inner voice; shedding light in areas of obscurity; communicating with the world beyond the consensus reality; secretiveness, paranoia, aloofness, haughtiness, lack of the common touch, isolation, obsessive introversion; absence of humour.
