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 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)
The full moon may bring a strange coincidence or an event you can't quite explain. Pay attention to recurring patterns, names, numbers and encounters that stir strong feelings. This week, this language of coincidence may become clearer to you.
Algiz (28th January - 13th February)
The full moon may make you more sensitive to the people and environments around you. You may suddenly understand why you've felt the need to distance yourself from a particular situation. The full moon may also remind you of your intuition's ability to detect danger or something amiss before your conscious mind catches up.
Sowilo (13th February - 27th February)
This week's full moon may unexpectedly place you in the spotlight. Something you've been working on quietly behind the scenes, could finally receive recognition. The week sends a reminder that your authentic self doesn't need to remain hidden.
Teiwaz (27th February - 14th March)
Monday's full moon may bring an issue to a head, making it harder to compromise your values. A previous decision may come up for reconsideration, but you now know more than you did at the time. The full moon urges you to stand firm in what you know is right.
Berkano (14th March - 30th March)
The full moon may reveal just how far something new has progressed since it first began. However, an idea, relationship or personal transformation may still need care and attention before it can fully flourish. This week, the growth that has been taking place out of sight may reveal just how far you've come.
Ehwaz (30th March - 14th April)
The full moon may bring someone back into your life who can offer a fresh perspective on an old situation. A collaboration may now have a second chance, under different circumstances. This week could remind you that people can find their way back to one another when both have changed.
Mannaz (14th April - 29th April)
The full moon may make you particularly aware of how others respond to you. A past conversation or experience could reveal a pattern in your own behaviour that you're now ready to change. The full moon doesn't just show you who other people are; it also reveals who you've become.
Laguz (29th April - 14th May)
The full moon may make your dreams more vivid, symbolic and emotionally charged. Write down what you remember, particularly if certain people or places appear repeatedly. This week could open a window between the visible and the invisible.
Ingwaz (14th May – 29th May)
The full moon may reveal that a process you've kept private is now ready for its next stage. You don't need to share everything just yet, but you can begin turning it into something more tangible. The time has come to take the next step.
Othala (29th May – 14th June)
The full moon may bring your foundations into sharper focus. You may feel a growing need to decide which parts of your past deserve a place in your future. Now is the time to make that decision for yourself. After all, it's your life.
Dagaz (14th June – 29th June)
The full moon may bring a sudden shift in perspective, making an old worry seem less significant. A truth you've known deep down may finally become impossible to ignore. This week could open the door between who you've been and who you're becoming.
Fehu (29th June – 14th July)
Monday's full moon sets the tone for the week. An old opportunity may return to your life, but this time you'll see it through fresh eyes. Something you previously considered finished may turn out to have one important detail still unresolved.
Uruz (14th July – 29th July)
Over the past two weeks, the universe has been sending you signals to pay closer attention to your body. An old habit may become so apparent that you can no longer ignore it. Monday's full moon urges you to listen to your body before allowing your mind to decide which direction to take.
Thurisaz (29th July – 13th August)
Monday's full moon may bring a past conflict back to the surface, but this time you have the opportunity to face it without the same emotional reaction. Words can easily be misunderstood, so choose silence over a hasty response. The full moon may show you that sometimes peace matters more than victory.
Ansuz (13th August – 29th August)
Monday's full moon may bring a message or conversation you've been waiting for. Something that was previously expressed unclearly may now take on an entirely different meaning. This week could open your eyes to what is being said between the lines.
Raidho (29th August – 13th September)
Monday's full moon may bring changes to a journey, arrangement or plan. A detour could lead you to a place or person you actually needed to encounter. This week may remind you that taking the longer route can also be part of your destined path.
Kenaz (13th September – 28th September)
Monday's full moon may shed light on something you've been trying to understand for a long time. A detail you previously overlooked could suddenly prove to be the key to the bigger picture. The full moon illuminates what was once hidden in the shadows.
Gebo (28th September – 13th October)
Monday's full moon brings the balance between what you give and what you receive into focus. A past relationship may resurface, prompting you to consider whether the connection is still equal. This week may remind you that genuine relationships should never require you to lose yourself.
Wunjo (13th October – 28th October)
Monday's full moon may bring back a person, activity or feeling that once brought you great joy. You might discover that something you thought you'd outgrown still has a place in your life. The full moon may remind you of forgotten talents and abilities. It's time to embrace them.
Hagalaz (28th October – 13th November)
Monday's full moon may bring a sudden change to your plans or surroundings. Although it might initially feel disruptive, the experience could free you from something that no longer serves you. Sometimes the unexpected is precisely what is needed to remove the obstacles standing in the way of growth.
Nauthiz (13th November – 28th November)
The full moon may help you see the difference between your wants and needs more clearly. An old priority could lose its importance as you recognise what truly gives you a sense of security. The full moon may remind you that sometimes the simplest things are the most valuable.
Isa (28th November – 13th December)
Monday's full moon may feel intense, but for you, it's more about pausing than taking action. Old questions don't need to be answered until you've gained some distance and perspective. This week may teach you that stillness can also be a form of movement.
Jera (13th December – 28th December)
This week's full moon may reveal the results of something you set in motion a long time ago. You may finally understand why certain things needed to take so long. The week reminds you that the right timing cannot be forced.
Eihwaz (28th December – 13th January)
The full moon may bring an old memory back to the surface, but this time it no longer holds the same power over you. You can see more clearly just how much you've changed. This week may show you that the past can revisit you without defining you. Look up and ahead.
