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)

In meeting others, not everything is at it seems on the surface. Emotional currents can live their own lives and your emotions can run close to the surface. Sometimes, a lack of embarrassment can prevent love from becoming something more. Alternatively, you can overtake the one you are interested in.

Uruz (14th July – 29th July)

At the beginning of the week you can receive or send a message that changes your current reality. Probably because something that has been hidden comes to light. Keep the perspective. Do not let yourself get caught up in the close things. Then it may be that you run from one task to another without getting anything done.

Thurisaz (29th July – 13th August)

Something you have been involved in as a side business might come in handy in your job. Perhaps this is something that can prove lucrative in the long run, or it could turn out to be a resource at work. The full moon at the beginning of the week will hint at ​​what this might be all about.

Ansuz (13th August – 29th August)

At the beginning of the week you might get a taste of luxury and a higher degree of comfort. Alternatively, a somewhat chaotic economy can get a little boost and respite. You will probably make progress in a group business. But do not exaggerate the enthusiasm. Get others involved. To master it in the best way, it is important to respect the integrity of others.

Raidho (29th August – 13th September)

You will have to make an effort to achieve something you want. But it is important that you adapt the speed to the conditions. Flirting and romance can occur through groups or organisations you have contact with. And do not be afraid to make the first move. Connect.

Kenaz (13th September – 28th September)

You might feel dissatisfied with something, or maybe someone, this week. One such challenge can be to take a stand and go deeper into addressing the issue, instead of scanning with a hare's paw. Idealism in your work can give a sense of satisfaction, but at the same time you might feel that you don't get the payoff you deserve.

Gebo (28th September – 13th October)

Idealistic expectations or ideological walls can prevent you from understanding others on their own terms. The desire to meet the expectations of others can make you perform more than you need to at work. If you are too persistent, you might brush your colleagues up the wrong way. Be flexible.

Wunjo (13th October – 28th October)

Tuesday's full moon can cause your values, and things you might not usually question, to be challenged by new opinions and insights. Because you are growing personally, you might feel that you have left others behind. Increase your own insight.

Hagalaz (28th October – 13th November)

Strong emotions can come up, especially in connection with Tuesday's new moon and the days around it. A new acquaintance might feel like a destined connection.
