Runic Astrology June 29th - July 3rd: 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.

Each person has their own rune stone, depending on on what day, and at what time they were born. This unique 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.

Perthro (13th January - 28th January)

Something you believed was settled may take a new turn, especially around the full moon at the beginning of the week. Life is asking you to wait a little longer before drawing conclusions. Let the story unfold.

Algiz (28th January - 13th February)

Security can be found where you least expect it. Something you previously overlooked turns out to be a solid foundation. Take a closer look at what is already working, especially in the days surrounding the full moon at the beginning of the week.

Sowilo (13th February - 27th February)

Joy arrives while you're on your way somewhere, not only when you reach the destination. This week is about the journey more than the goal. Enjoy the process, especially when the runes try to tell you something for a second time. Pay attention to what surfaces around the full moon.

Teiwaz (27th February - 14th March)

You may be called upon to provide clarity when others are uncertain. The full moon at the beginning of the week strengthens your ability to see what truly matters. Stand firmly by your own choices, especially when the runes repeat an important message.

Berkano (14th March - 30th March)

Care is expressed through simple actions. Someone may show their love through practical gestures rather than grand declarations. Notice what people do, especially in the days around the full moon at the beginning of the week.

Ehwaz (30th March - 14th April)

An opportunity is not fully open, but neither is it closed. There's no need to force an answer just yet. Let things develop naturally, especially during the days surrounding the full moons at the beginning of the week.

Mannaz (14th April - 29th April)

Old news takes on new meaning. Something you previously overlooked proves to be more important than you realised. Revisit old messages or notes. Events around the full moon at the beginning of the week could be significant for what happens next.

Laguz (29th April - 14th May)

Every wave in life leaves behind a small sign. This week's full moon makes you especially receptive to symbols, dreams and meaningful coincidences. Write down what keeps repeating. The message will be strongest at the beginning of the week.

Ingwaz (14th May – 29th May)

An idea that seems simple may travel much further than a complicated plan. This week, playfulness triumphs over heaviness. Keep things simple, especially in the days around the full moon at the beginning of the week. Creativity is the ability to make a great deal from very little.

Othala (29th May – 14th June)

When the clouds begin to clear, you'll suddenly understand what time has been trying to teach you. Insight may arrive when you least expect it, particularly around the full moon at the beginning of the week. Avoid chasing answers.

Dagaz (14th June – 29th June)

Something familiar brings you peace. A tradition, a place or a habit reminds you who you are when the world feels noisy. Seek out what feels authentic and comforting. The full moon at the beginning of the week may bring thoughts of something you once had.

Fehu (29th June – 14th July)

Something you thought was only meant for others may turn out to suit you surprisingly well. It could be an idea, a role or an opportunity. This week is about trying something before you dismiss it. Test it before making up your mind, especially around the full moon.

Uruz (14th July – 29th July)

A plan may be delayed or lose some momentum, particularly around the full moon at the beginning of the week. That doesn't mean it has failed. Some things simply need better timing.

Thurisaz (29th July – 13th August)

A message may not get through on the first attempt this week. The full moon at the beginning of the week may reveal where communication has stalled. Fortunately, much can be resolved with a little patience. Explain it one more time.

Ansuz (13th August – 29th August)

A small clue reveals a much bigger story. You may notice connections that others overlook. What seems like coincidence may not be coincidence at all. Follow the clues and discover what the runes are trying to tell you for the second time.

Raidho (29th August – 13th September)

A detour gives you a fresh perspective. Something you were rushing towards suddenly seems less important once you see the bigger picture. Let the journey teach you something. The full moon at the beginning of the week may offer hints about which direction to take next.

Kenaz (13th September – 28th September)

Something you've been saving for a long time is finally ready to be used. Knowledge, experience or an old plan gains new value now. Bring out what you've been keeping aside. You know exactly what it is. Meditate under the full moon at the beginning of the week.

Gebo (28th September – 13th October)

A resource you thought had become outdated may prove surprisingly useful. Not everything old is obsolete. Some solutions still work. Look backwards before looking ahead. The full moon may offer clear guidance if you take the time to listen.

Wunjo (13th October – 28th October)

Something that seemed lost may still be within sight if you lift your gaze. Hope appears in unexpected places this week. Don't give up too soon. The full moon at the beginning of the week may bring unexpected solutions.

Hagalaz (28th October – 13th November)

An ending may arrive more quickly than you expected. The full moon at the beginning of the week could make it clear what no longer belongs in your life. Slow your pace and make time for meditation. Resist the urge to push ahead.

Nauthiz (13th November – 28th November)

Imperfection still has value. You don't need to replace everything that has picked up a few marks along the way. Appreciate what continues to serve you. Around the full moon at the beginning of the week, something old may prove useful once again.

Isa (28th November – 13th December)

Something connected to the full moon at the beginning of the week may cool down a situation that has become too intense. This creates space for clearer thinking and better decisions. Wait until emotions have settled on all sides.

Jera (13th December – 28th December)

A small reward may appear when you least expect it. The full moon at the beginning of the week reminds you that not every gain comes through hard work. Enjoy what arrives freely. You've earned it.

Eihwaz (28th December – 13th January)

A desire to travel or old plans for change may come back to life around the full moon at the beginning of the week. You may discover new possibilities in something you previously set aside. Reopen old dreams.
