Runic Astrology June 2nd - June 8th: 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 needs are becoming more prominent, and you may feel pressure to make changes. On Friday, emotional clarity that’s been missing could finally arrive. That will make it easier to express your true feelings. Be true to yourself. Stand firm in what you need—it’s not selfishness.

Dagaz (14th June – 29th June)

You’re in the middle of an inner clear-out. Consciously or not, last week’s new moon triggered something that can’t be ignored. By the weekend, you’ll better understand why this needs to happen. Your friendships, romantic relationships, or family ties are calling for change. That change will make room for what’s to come.

Fehu (29th June – 14th July)

You’re in a good flow this week. The new moon energy from last week still lingers, making small things feel more significant. Friday brings a shift in energy that inspires openness and playfulness, especially in matters of love. Savour the moments without overanalysing. Allow yourself to feel genuine joy—unfiltered.

Uruz (14th July – 29th July)

This week is about balance — between giving and receiving. Last week’s new moon reminded you not to neglect your own needs. Friday’s shift in love brings a chance to set boundaries with warmth. It’s perfectly fine to say no with kindness.

Thurisaz (29th July – 13th August)

Your creative spark is growing. Last week’s new moon has lit a guiding light within you. On Friday, an old flame may flicker back into view. That could be nice—but don’t forget why it went out last time. Trust your intuition. It’s leading you the right way.

Ansuz (13th August – 29th August)

Your words carry extra weight and depth this week. Use the second half of the week to say what truly matters. Love responds to honesty and clarity. Speak from the heart, not just the head.

Kenaz (13th September – 28th September)

You’re in the midst of a transition. Last week’s new moon triggered a process that’s stirring up old patterns. Friday could mark a turning point in love or relationships. Some doors will close, but others may open quickly. Dare to walk through the uncertainty—clarity will come with next week’s full moon.

Gebo (28th September – 13th October)

You’re feeling a new sense of drive this week. It’s time to engage both your willpower and your body. Listen to your body—it knows more than you think. In the latter part of the week, love might stir up old emotions. Let them come and go. You don’t have to act on everything you feel.

Wunjo (13th October – 28th October)

Nauthiz (13th November - 28th November)

Isa (28th November - 13th December)
