Runic Astrology June 23rd - 29th: 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.

Uruz (14th July – 29th July)

Your primal strength awakens, and old wounds transform into power. This week’s new moon gives you permission to be whole – both vulnerable and powerful. There’s no more room to shrink yourself to fit in. You don’t need anyone’s permission to be yourself.

Sowilo (13th February - 27th February)

The light within you shines brightly – drawing both admiration and resistance. This week’s new moon reminds you: your power is innate, not something to be earned. Be proud of what burns in you. You carry the sun in your chest – use your light wisely.
