Runic astrologer Randi Bjærum uses the ancient Viking practice to forecast your love, money, career, style and health every week
Divination in runes is an ancient art that can be traced back to the Norse God Odin. Old scriptures show that the Vikings then continued this tradition - they even used used[rune symbols in jewellery, clothing and weapons to boost their energy.
When we're born, we all get our own rune stone (find yours here). This birth rune indicates the abilities, talents and resources that you bring into your life.
But as the universe is constantly changing, daily, weekly or monthly runic astrology can tell you how events, actions and things affect your life. It can also reveal what energies, events and changes are occurring, and how you can best act on them. A runic horoscope is a guide to your spiritual journey and a guide on how to live life to the fullest.
Hagalaz (28th October – 13th November)
The Hagalaz rune brings sudden changes, and last weekend’s solar eclipse may have triggered a transformation you don’t yet understand. Something you thought was stable may turn out to be temporary. Let go of control and trust that the chaos will lead you where you need to go.
Nauthiz (13th November – 28th November)
Nauthiz is the rune of necessity, and this week, old longings may intensify. What has been hidden may now force its way into your consciousness. Accept your needs without shame, but don’t let them control you uncritically.
Isa (28th November – 13th December)
The Isa rune represents stillness and reflection, and this week requires more patience than usual. Something that has been frozen in time may now begin to thaw. Give yourself permission to observe before taking action.
Jera (13th December – 28th December)
Jera is the rune of cycles and harvest, but Mercury retrograde may make you feel uncertain about whether you are truly receiving what you deserve. The fruits of your labor are on their way, but not necessarily in the form you expect. Be open to unexpected rewards.
Eihwaz (28th December – 13th January)
The Eihwaz rune represents transition and death/rebirth, and this week, you may feel that an old version of yourself is slipping away. Something you have been attached to is about to change. Let go of the past with dignity, and know that the new will come in due time – perhaps not until the middle of the month.
Perthro (13th January – 28th January)
Perthro is the rune of fate, but with Venus retrograde, love and relationships may feel destined – for better or worse. Hidden truths may be revealed. Accept what comes to light, even if it challenges your previous choices.
Algiz (28th January – 13th February)
Algiz is the rune of protection, but this week, you must create your own sense of security. A situation may require you to set clear boundaries. Trust your intuition when deciding whom or what to let in.
Sowilo (13th February – 27th February)
The Sowilo rune represents the power of the sun, but last weekend’s solar eclipse has temporarily cast a shadow over your path. You may feel a bit disoriented, but this is an opportunity to find your inner light. Seek clarity within yourself, not in external validation.
Teiwaz (27th February – 14th March)
Teiwaz is the rune of justice and perseverance, but with Mercury retrograde, strategies may need to be reassessed. Something you believed to be fair may require a new evaluation. Be willing to adapt without compromising your values—both financial and emotional.
Berkano (14th March – 30th March)
Berkano is the rune of growth and fertility, but Venus retrograde may cause delays in romantic or creative projects. Something needs more time before it can blossom. Allow things to develop naturally without forcing them.
Ehwaz (30th March – 14th April)
The Ehwaz rune symbolizes movement and partnership, but this week, it may feel like you and someone else are moving at different paces. Adjustments will be necessary. Communicate openly about expectations and needs. Trust your intuition.
Mannaz (14th April – 29th April)
The Mannaz rune represents human connection, but Mercury retrograde may create confusion in conversations. Be extra clear in how you express yourself. Repeat important messages and ensure that everyone is on the same page. Communication will improve by mid-April.
Laguz (29th April – 14th May)
Laguz is the rune of intuition and flow, but this week, the energy may feel heavy and unclear. Dreams and inner visions may carry important messages. Trust your gut feeling, even when logic suggests otherwise.
Ingwaz (14th May – 29th May)
The Ingwaz rune represents completion, but you may feel that something is unfinished or in limbo. This is just a temporary pause before a new beginning. Use this waiting period to recharge instead of worrying.
Othala (29th May – 14th June)
The Othala rune represents heritage, roots, and deep connections to the past, but with both Mercury and Venus retrograde, old family or property-related issues may resurface. To understand your place, look at the past as a source of wisdom, but don’t let it define your future.
Dagaz (14th June – 29th June)
Dagaz is the rune of transformation, but this week and next require patience before you see changes. Something significant is about to be revealed. Stay present in the process, and know that the light always returns.
Fehu (29th June – 14th July)
The Fehu rune symbolises wealth and abundance, but this week requires a reassessment of what you truly value. Old business connections or financial agreements may need adjustments. Avoid making financial decisions based on impulse – wait for clarity.
Uruz (14th July – 29th July)
Uruz is the rune of life force and raw energy, but Mercury retrograde may distort how you express your strength. You may feel misunderstood, especially in personal relationships. Take a deep breath before speaking, and listen more than usual.
Thurisaz (29th July – 13th August)
The Thurisaz rune represents protection and resistance, but this week, inner conflicts may arise. Unresolved emotions from the past may surface. Use your inner wisdom to navigate emotional challenges instead of reacting immediately.
Ansuz (13th August – 29th August)
Ansuz, Odin’s rune of communication, is affected by Mercury retrograde and may cause misunderstandings, both verbal and written. Write down your thoughts before sharing them with others. Take your time to find the right words. Silence will guide you home.
Raidho (29th August – 13th September)
The Raidho rune symbolizes journeys, both physical and spiritual, but this week, delays or changes may occur. An old path may suddenly feel more right than the new one. See setbacks as signs that you need to fine-tune your direction.
Kenaz (13th September – 28th September)
The Kenaz rune brings insight and enlightenment, but last weekend’s solar eclipse may have given you a new perspective that you don’t fully understand yet. Something you previously took for granted may reveal hidden depths. Be open to the idea that truth may have more layers than you initially thought.
Gebo (28th September – 13th October)
The Gebo rune is about balance and exchange, but Venus retrograde may bring up old love themes. Someone from your past may reappear. Reflect on what you have learned, and do not return to old patterns without understanding why.
Wunjo (13th October – 28th October)
The Wunjo rune represents joy and harmony, but this week, you may feel like happiness is slipping through your fingers. This is a test of what truly brings you joy. Find gratitude in small moments instead of chasing a bigger happiness.
