Runic Astrology June 30th - July 6th: What do the runes have in store for you this week?

By Randi Bjærum

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.

Othala (29th May – 14th June)

You carry old expectations about who you should be – without asking if they still fit. This week, explore what it means to let go of those beliefs. Freedom begins when the past releases its grip. Open to the new.

Dagaz (14th June – 29th June)

You enjoy the moment, but always with one eye on what might vanish. This week, practice letting go of fear and simply being in the good. Life expands through trust, not fear. Notice what safety feels like – and hold onto it. Stand up for yourself and what matters to you.

Fehu (29th June – 14th July)

You're used to chasing more, but now you're beginning to see the beauty in landing somewhere that feels safe. It could be a project, a relationship, or simply a silence you don’t need to fill. Rest fully. It brings unexpected energy. Find peace.

Uruz (14th July – 29th July)

Your actions this week carry a quiet strength, free of drama. You resolve problems before others even notice. Be mindful of how this affects those around you. Celebrate the invisible work you do – celebrate yourself. Karma will reward you.

Thurisaz (29th July – 13th August)

There's a pattern in how you avoid true connection by joking or using irony. Humour is your precious protection – but maybe also a wall. This week, you're invited to try something else: openness without wrapping it in fluff. Let yourself be bare, even if it's scary.

Ansuz (13th August – 29th August)

You may have said something hurtful or too blunt, but the feeling afterward is a kind of relief. It feels good not to carry everything alone. Let go of the guilt and see your honesty as a breath of fresh air. Be yourself.

Raidho (29th August – 13th September)

Everything around you may feel unstable, yet you still find rhythm. You are the glue holding the threads together when things spin. Trust that your way of creating structure isn’t random – it’s a gift to yourself and others. Move at your own pace.

Kenaz (13th September – 28th September)

This week is full of unexpected aha moments. You gain new insights while focused on something else entirely. Don’t underestimate how your curiosity uncovers clues in surprising places. Be open to everyday surprises.

Gebo (28th September – 13th October)

There’s a difference between giving to be loved and giving to love. This week, you may notice when you're giving too much in hope of receiving something in return. It's about setting boundaries and recognising your worth. Love yourself first.

Wunjo (13th October – 28th October)

You're making progress now, but tend to keep it secret. Enjoy your success – but plan how to share it with others. In the second half of the week, you're invited to shine more publicly. Let yourself be seen.

Hagalaz (28th October - 13th November)

You're carrying something you don't want others to see, and it makes you both strong and vulnerable. This week, it may feel right to loosen control. It could open doors to the closeness you crave. Showing vulnerability can be a strength.

Nauthiz (13th November - 28th November)

You might feel an emptiness that hasn’t actually arrived yet. It could be a person, a sense of security, or an opportunity. This gives you a chance to appreciate what you have before it slips away. Use longing to reach out or invite something new in.

Isa (28th November - 13th December)

You're holding back – not because you're calm, but because you're protecting yourself. This week, notice what happens when you ease up on that strategy. You might discover that silence can be a language. Use silence as a bridge, not a wall.

Jera (13th December - 28th December)

You've placed invisible expectations on what you should get in return for what you give. This week, you may see how those expectations limit you. Giving without keeping score could lead to greater freedom. Rediscover yourself. It may open new doors.

Eihwaz (28th December - 13th January)

There are walls around you that others don’t see, but that protect you. When those walls are threatened, you feel it deeply. This week is about getting clear on what you want to protect, and what you're ready to let in. Be a friend to your boundaries, not a prisoner of them.

Perthro (13th January - 28th January)

You’re picking up on signals around you that you believe are true – but sometimes, you're wrong. Misreading a situation can make you unsure, but it can also teach you a lot. Be curious about what’s really happening beneath the surface. Don’t blindly trust first impressions.

Algiz (28th January - 13th February)

You control who gets access to your inner world, and that gives you security. But maybe it’s time to let someone new in? This week, opening up might lead to surprises that feel good. Trust and love grow where control lets go.

Sowilo (13th February - 27th February)

You're used to living up to others’ expectations – but how do you receive real recognition? This week, explore how you truly feel when praise is directed at you. Let yourself shine without shrinking.

Teiwaz (27th February - 14th March)

You handle loss differently now – whether in arguments or life’s bigger struggles. This week, you're encouraged to reflect on what it means to let go without losing yourself. Loss can be a win for the soul. Be open to unexpected shifts in the second half of the week.

Berkano (14th March - 30th March)

You often take responsibility for how others are feeling, but it can become a heavy burden. This week, ask yourself what’s truly yours to carry, and what’s not. Love and self-worth grow where boundaries are clear.

Ehwaz (30th March - 14th April)

You're moving outward, but inwardly it feels like you're standing still. This week, try being honest with yourself about where you really are. There’s no shame in pausing. Events later in the week might shift your perspective.

Mannaz (14th April - 29th April)

You give everything to be the good partner, friend, or colleague – but you forget yourself. This week, you may find a new balance between giving and simply being. Be a friend to yourself first.

Laguz (29th April - 14th May)

Being seen can feel both beautiful and raw, and you tend to retreat. This week, challenge yourself to stay in the gaze, if only a moment longer. Intimacy grows in the discomfort. Dare to stay.

Ingwaz (14th May – 29th May)

Something inside you is waiting to bloom, but fear holds you back. This week gives you a gentle push to open up just a little more. You don’t need to blossom fully, just begin. A small opening can spark great growth. Trust your intuition.
