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)
This week, you may find the key to something that has seemed stuck. Monday’s new moon reveals where to apply pressure in order to open what has been closed. Try once more, but in a different way.

A small glimpse can bring great insight. This week’s new moon may bring an idea that seems modest at first, but has the potential to become significant. Make a note of sudden inspirations.
Sowilo (13th February - 27th February)

Teiwaz (27th February - 14th March)
You are standing steadier than you realise. The new moon reminds you of your roots and everything you have already built. Hold firm to one important decision. Something that begins now will not reveal its full shape until later in the summer.

Security becomes more important than achievement. This week’s new moon may remind you that what is close, simple and familiar is often the most nourishing and motivating. Take care of a daily routine you enjoy.

You suddenly remember what it feels like to have the wind at your back. This week’s new moon may bring momentum to something that has been standing still for a long time. Do one thing without overthinking it.
Mannaz (14th April - 29th April)

Fehu (29th June – 14th July)
This week’s new moon may remind you that not every signal from the outside world is right for you. This week is about distinguishing between other people’s expectations and your own direction.

Uruz (14th July – 29th July)

Raidho (29th August – 13th September)

Kenaz (13th September – 28th September)
This week is about enjoying what is in season. Monday’s new moon reminds you that not everything needs to last forever to be valuable. Some beautiful things exist only in the present moment. Celebrate a small moment.

An answer you have been waiting for is closer than you think. This week’s new moon sets something in motion behind the scenes. Patience will be rewarded. Avoid following up too soon.
Wunjo (13th October – 28th October)
Life becomes more enjoyable when you let go of the need for perfect conditions. Monday’s new moon invites more playfulness and less control. The best moments happen without a script. Let one day unfold spontaneously. Enjoy it.

What creates resistance now also provides strength. This week’s new moon can transform frustration into fuel if you choose to use your energy wisely. Channel your irritation into action.
Nauthiz (13th November – 28th November)
A small initiative can set a larger process in motion. This week’s new moon favours first steps rather than giant leaps. Begin before you feel completely ready.

A mistake may lead you to a better solution. This week’s new moon points towards paths that were not part of the original plan. Be open to detours, especially during the second half of the week.
