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)
You may discover that something you thought was necessary has actually become nothing more than a habit. A small simplification could bring a surprising sense of freedom. Freedom begins when you understand the difference between what you need and what holds you back.
Algiz (28th January - 13th February)
Someone you don't know particularly well may turn out to play an important role in your journey ahead. A collaboration may develop naturally, without either of you having planned it. The most important helpers don't always arrive with a fanfare.
Sowilo (13th February - 27th February)
An encounter with an animal or a striking experience in nature may awaken an unexpected feeling within you. Use the moment as an opportunity to pause and observe. Nature doesn't communicate through words, but it communicates nonetheless.
Teiwaz (27th February - 14th March)
An idea or plan you've kept to yourself may be ready to enter its next phase. Resist the urge to tell everyone about it just yet. Some things grow best without the judgement of others. Protect the seed until you know it is strong enough to withstand the light.
Berkano (14th March - 30th March)
Your dreams may become more vivid or symbolic than usual. Write down what you remember before your day begins, particularly people, places and recurring symbols. Now is the time to keep a pen and paper beside your bed. The subconscious often speaks in images when words are not enough.
Ehwaz (30th March - 14th April)
Someone else's reaction may help you discover a new side of yourself. Try not to take it personally. Instead, use it as valuable information. The people around you can act as mirrors, revealing things about yourself that you may not see. Keep an open mind.
Mannaz (14th April - 29th April)
A tradition or characteristic you've carried with you since childhood may become more apparent. You get to decide what you want to pass on and what should end with you. You are both the keeper of your history and the author of its next chapter.
Laguz (29th April - 14th May)
You may receive recognition for something you usually do without giving it much thought. Accept the appreciation without explaining yourself or downplaying your achievements. You don't need to hide your light to make others feel comfortable. You can shine without being a threat to anyone else.
Ingwaz (14th May – 29th May)
A simple event may suddenly help you understand the bigger picture. What you've been calling a problem may turn out to be the beginning of an entirely different story. When your perspective changes, even your sense of destiny can shift.
Othala (29th May – 14th June)
An idea may come to you out of the blue, inspiring you to create something with your hands, your voice or your imagination. Avoid judging the idea too soon. Give it time to develop. Inspiration is a sign that something within you is waiting to be born. Take time to meditate.
Dagaz (14th June – 29th June)
You may receive something you haven't asked for, whether it's help, knowledge, an invitation or an opportunity. What matters is not the size of the gift, but why it has arrived at this particular moment. Some gifts from the universe come disguised as coincidences.
Fehu (29th June – 14th July)
A resource you have overlooked may suddenly become significant, perhaps through a person, an old idea or a skill you haven't used in a long time. This week may reveal that true value can also be found in knowledge, experience and connections. What you need is closer than you think.
Uruz (14th July – 29th July)
Your body may tell you more than your thoughts do, particularly when you need to change your pace or direction. Notice when your energy rises and when it falls for no apparent reason. Your body holds wisdom that your mind sometimes overlooks.
Thurisaz (29th July – 13th August)
An obstacle may appear just when you think the path ahead is clear. Rather than seeing it as a setback, you may discover that it is preventing you from entering a situation that isn't right for you. Sometimes a closed door is a sign of protection.
Ansuz (13th August – 29th August)
A new place or social setting may give you a surprising sense of belonging. You may meet people who open the door to an entirely different part of your life. Sometimes you need to explore new surroundings to see yourself more clearly.
Raidho (29th August – 13th September)
A situation in which someone has treated you unfairly may begin to find its balance. You don't need to fight to prove your worth; your actions speak louder than words. The truth doesn't always need to be shouted to be seen.
Kenaz (13th September – 28th September)
A light-hearted and enjoyable experience may break a pattern of seriousness you've been carrying for some time. Someone may make you laugh in a way you've truly missed. Joy is not a distraction from spirituality; it is part of it.
Gebo (28th September – 13th October)
A strange coincidence may catch your attention. Two people, numbers, places or messages may suddenly seem connected in a way you cannot explain. When coincidences keep occurring, they may be worth paying attention to.
Wunjo (13th October – 28th October)
The atmosphere around you may change quickly, and plans may need to be adjusted. Flexibility will become more important than control. When the wind changes, sometimes the right thing to do is adjust your course.
Hagalaz (28th October – 13th November)
An old memory or a past situation may resurface, but this time you see it from a different perspective. You are no longer the same person who experienced it. Sometimes the past returns simply to show you how far you've come.
Nauthiz (13th November – 28th November)
You may need more quiet than usual to hear your own thoughts. Taking a break from other people's opinions may give you a clearer understanding of what you truly want. Silence is not empty; it is full of answers. Meditation may help you along the way.
Isa (28th November – 13th December)
A message, phone call or passing comment may carry more significance than the person who shared it realises. Pay particular attention to words or expressions that keep appearing. The universe often whispers through ordinary people.
Jera (13th December – 28th December)
Something in your home is calling for renewal, whether that's decluttering, rearranging furniture or simply creating a different atmosphere. When your surroundings feel lighter, your thoughts may become freer too. Your home is not just somewhere you live. It is a reflection of your energy.
Eihwaz (28th December – 13th January)
Something you started a long time ago is beginning to show signs of progress. You don't need to push the process forward. What matters most now is continuing to give it the right nourishment. What is genuine will mature, even when you cannot see it growing.
