Runic astrologer Randi Bjærum uses the ancient Viking practice to forecast your love, money, career, style and health every Sunday

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.

Fehu (29th June – 14th July)

New solutions to old problems can come to you intuitively. A situation that has been locked can be resolved if you look at it from a different angle. In the second half of the week, you can land a small victory if you do not get too impatient and run over others who mean well.

Uruz (14th July – 29th July)

If you have been in a conflict, things will work out as long as you have patience and tolerance. If you are looking for romance, a meeting out of the blue can speed up your everyday life. Most likely it will happen in your immediate area. Avoid going against your own interests and values ​​to meet someone else.

Thurisaz (29th July – 13th August)

Your patience will be less than usual towards those who are not as quick-thinking as you. Do not take it out on those at home or at work.

Take the time to consider whether you have the right course in your life or if you want to do more interesting and exciting things.

Ansuz (13th August – 29th August)
