Runic Astrology July 7th - 13th: 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)

Your feelings are your compass, not your obstacle. The full moon brings forward what you’ve tried to control – now it can flow. You don’t need answers, just connection. Allow what is, without judgement.

Dagaz (14th June – 29th June)

You’re standing before something you didn’t know you wanted, but now you can’t look away. The full moon pushes you through a door beyond the familiar, and nothing looks quite the same. If you dare to meet the unknown within you, a space opens up that you’ve always longed for.

Fehu (29th June – 14th July)

You feel a pull to clear up both your finances and your energy. The full moon reminds you that you don’t have to carry everything alone, it’s safe to say no. Prosperity begins with self-respect. Invest in yourself before giving to others.

Uruz (14th July – 29th July)

Your body is telling you more than your mind right now. This week’s full moon highlights your physical boundaries, who or what is draining you? You are strongest when you don’t overextend your strength. Take time to rest. Recharge your batteries, especially under Wednesday’s full moon.

Thurisaz (29th July – 13th August)

Old patterns you thought you had outgrown suddenly resurface. The full moon opens doors you thought were closed, but this is a release from the past. You can react differently now. Let go with joy. Look ahead.

Ansuz (13th August – 29th August)

Your words hit deeper than you realise this week. The full moon sharpens your voice. Use it wisely, especially in close relationships. What you say can heal. Speak from your heart, not your wounds.

Raidho (29th August – 13th September)

You sense the road is turning, and it makes you restless. The full moon focuses on your direction and why you started in the first place. Maybe you need a new route, not a new destination. Ask yourself what truly drives you.

Kenaz (13th September – 28th September)

Inspiration strikes like lightning from a clear sky this week. The full moon ignites the spark in something you had almost forgotten, whether it’s a passion or a dream. Now is the time to create, not just plan. Follow the spark, not logic.

Gebo (28th September – 13th October)

You recognise the feeling, the same pattern again, but this time you see yourself from the outside. The full moon lets you break the cycle. This happens when you make a different choice within the old situation. A small “no” changes the whole story.

Wunjo (13th October – 28th October)

The good life doesn’t wait. It begins in the little things. The full moon lights up the joy you may have overlooked in your daily life. When you are grateful, more opens up. Create small rituals that remind you of happiness.

Hagalaz (28th October - 13th November)

Something breaks, but it’s not you. The full moon tears down old facades so you can breathe more freely. You are becoming whole. Be honest about what no longer works. Take care of yourself.

Nauthiz (13th November - 28th November)

What you thought was limitation turns out to be protection. The full moon gives you new lenses. You see the patterns clearly. Say no if someone crosses your boundaries. Give yourself oxygen first.

Isa (28th November - 13th December)

Something inside you is changing deeply, and you can no longer ignore it. The full moon brings forth the wisdom in the unknown. You are growing in the unseen. Trust the transformation, even if you can’t see it yet.

Jera (13th December - 28th December)

Balance in relationships is your theme now. The full moon shows you where you give too much or too little. Reciprocity requires honesty, also with yourself. Dare to ask for what you give.

Eihwaz (28th December - 13th January)

Silence is your wisdom this week. The full moon helps you listen between the lines, to yourself and others. There’s nothing wrong with going slowly. Wait until the water clears before making a decision.

Perthro (13th January - 28th January)

Your intuition is sharper than usual. Trust it. The full moon activates your inner mystic and points to hidden rooms within yourself. You don’t need to understand everything to move forward. Let life surprise you.

Algiz (28th January - 13th February)

This is your full moon, and you feel it. You are in touch with raw, authentic power, and it can be overwhelming. Use your protection consciously. Not everyone belongs in your circle. Allow yourself to be sacred.

Sowilo (13th February - 27th February)

Your beliefs are being tested. The full moon shows whether your values hold under pressure. You don’t need to fight, just stand strong. Remember who you are, even when no one is watching.

Teiwaz (27th February - 14th March)

Something you’ve planted begins to sprout. The full moon reminds you that not everything is visible yet, but the growth has started. Be patient, even with yourself. Enjoy the moment, especially if you’re on holiday.

Berkano (14th March - 30th March)

Something is budding inside you – whether it’s a new self-image or a new beginning. The full moon brings you a love letter from yourself. Receiving is also an action. Accept what you would give.

Ehwaz (30th March - 14th April)

Collaboration is key this week. The full moon shows you where you need to adjust your direction together with someone, or go your separate ways. There’s no shame in changing the rhythm. Communication will take you forward.

Mannaz (14th April - 29th April)

Your light shines brighter than ever, but not everyone can handle it. The full moon shows you who cheers for you and who fades away. Don’t dim yourself. Take up space. Be yourself.

Laguz (29th April - 14th May)

You’ve been giving a lot to others. Now it’s time to turn your gaze inward. The full moon asks: Who are you without your roles? This is a time to feel, not perform. Give yourself the same care you give others.

Ingwaz (14th May – 29th May)

Everything turns this week, and it happens quickly. The full moon speeds up decisions and pushes you to act with clarity. The time for doubt is over. Seize the moment when the door opens.
