But as the universe is constantly changing, daily, weekly or monthly runic astrology can tell you how events, actions and things affect your life. They 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.

The balance between home and family versus work will be in focus in the time ahead. It is important that you talk to those at home for advice and involve them in your everyday life. Either because you have a lot to do at work, or are offered a new job. It's time for patience, and willingness to share.

You are now confronted with outdated reaction patterns. Especially in meeting unknown people, you can get an "aha" experience about how others perceive you. Work on developing yourself and finding new paths. There is a lot of optimism in the air, live out the emotions.

Be open to new cultures and landscapes. You're in a good place to embark on a longer journey, either physically or mentally by course or education. With this setting, you will also be more open to input from your partner or others close to you, which will increase the intimacy and connection between you.

Think carefully about all agreements that apply to finances and debts that involve others. Especially in the days ahead, conflicts can arise if you are not clear and distinct. You will go further in thinking about what benefits the community in the long run than satisfying your own short-term goals.
