Runic Astrology March 9th - 15th: 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)

New ideas and new people may enter your life. You may feel more inspired and less restricted. This is a good week for collaboration. Wait until the final week of March before sharing your ideas. Trust your inner compass.

Algiz (28th January - 13th February)

You begin to notice who you truly resonate with. Your relationships may adjust accordingly. The community you want may become a more conscious choice. Seek out organisations and groups that broaden your perspective.

Sowilo (13th February - 27th February)

You may feel lighter in spirit. Relationships that were tested in connection with last week’s lunar eclipse may now find a new balance. Your intuition is strong. Make a decision about something you have been sensing for a long time.

Teiwaz (27th February - 14th March)

What happened during last week’s lunar eclipse may inspire you to think in new ways or even change direction. Plan now, but wait until the end of next week before taking concrete action. New information may emerge.

Berkano (14th March - 30th March)

You may feel new motivation beginning to grow this week. What held you back last week feels less heavy, and you may feel ready to act again. Small victories quickly build confidence now. Start with the simplest task first.

Ehwaz (30th March - 14th April)

This week you may notice the difference between impulse and inner guidance. Something within you has settled, and your actions may come from a clearer place. This marks the beginning of a more precise direction. Wait until your body feels calm before acting.

Mannaz (14th April - 29th April)

This week you may gain a clearer overview of your finances or priorities. A decision you recently made begins to feel right. Stability is built through action, not just waiting. Set a concrete plan for the spring.

Laguz (29th April - 14th May)

This week you may take a significant step forward in shaping your life in the direction you want. Outwardly things may look the same, but your attitude has shifted. Small choices now may have larger consequences later.

Ingwaz (14th May – 29th May)

Communication flows more easily. A misunderstanding may be cleared up, and you may feel more understood. New ideas appear quickly, so write them down before they disappear. Initiate a conversation you have been postponing.

Othala (29th May – 14th June)

Your thoughts quieten somewhat, allowing you to sense what is truly real beneath the words. A new understanding of a relationship or situation settles within you. Clarity comes not from more information, but from stillness. Take daily breaks without screens or input.

Dagaz (14th June – 29th June)

You regain emotional balance. Something that seemed big and dramatic in connection with last week’s lunar eclipse may now feel more manageable. You can now make a calm and wise decision. Trust that you are stronger than you think.

Fehu (29th June – 14th July)

The feelings you experienced last week begin to fall into place. You may start to see patterns rather than isolated events. This can bring a new level of emotional maturity. Trust your intuition, especially in the second half of the week.

Uruz (14th July – 29th July)

You may feel a surge of energy in social situations. An invitation or meeting could open the door to an exciting opportunity, particularly in the latter part of the week. This is a good week to show yourself. Say yes to something new.

Thurisaz (29th July – 13th August)

This is an integration week. What was revealed last week in connection with the lunar eclipse now needs to be anchored in your awareness. Use the time constructively for inner adjustment. Your time will come, but wait until next week before taking concrete action.

Ansuz (13th August – 29th August)

Structure may help restore your sense of calm. You could sort out details that have been causing stress. Your progress comes when you stop doubting yourself. Strengthen your self-confidence. An event in the second half of the week may open up new opportunities in the longer term. Seize it.

Raidho (29th August – 13th September)

This week you may more easily see that security and control are not always the same thing. Something loosens in your need to have all the answers. Look ahead with trust. Someone you were once strongly connected to may return to your life. Let things unfold without trying to control them.

Kenaz (13th September – 28th September)

You can see more clearly where you have adapted too much. Last week’s lunar eclipse lifted the veil on an illusion. An important truth emerged. More details may appear next week. Until then, choose inner balance. It may feel unfamiliar, but strengthening.

Gebo (28th September – 13th October)

You may now experience momentum and a new beginning after the events surrounding last week’s lunar eclipse. Your energy lightens. What felt unclear last week begins to fall into place. Now it is about taking small, concrete steps forward.

Wunjo (13th October – 28th October)

Your relationships may feel lighter. A conversation could bring renewed understanding or a fresh start. You will notice who truly wishes you well. Last week’s lunar eclipse sent you a message. Begin to implement it in your life, gradually.

Hagalaz (28th October – 13th November)

A deep realisation may settle within you. You no longer need to dig into what has already been understood. Your energy is better used looking forward rather than back. Let go and begin planning concrete actions. Wait until the end of next week before acting on them.

Nauthiz (13th November – 28th November)

You may gain clarity about something that has been unclear. The intensity of last week’s lunar eclipse begins to ease, allowing you to focus ahead. This is a good week for purposeful work. Set a clear strategy for the coming weeks.

Isa (28th November – 13th December)

Your optimism returns. A plan you had almost abandoned may gain new life. Movement and activity can give you an extra lift now. Get outside. Physical movement may bring mental answers.

Jera (13th December – 28th December)

You may feel a greater sense of control over your situation following the events surrounding last week’s lunar eclipse. Something that felt uncertain may begin to stabilise. Now it is about thinking long term. Continue building, step by step.

Eihwaz (28th December – 13th January)

Your intuition is strong, but calmer than last week. You do not need to overinterpret signals. What is meant for you feels stable. A new inner sense of security is emerging. Trust what feels simple. Strengthen your self-confidence.
