Runic astrologer Randi Bjærum uses the ancient Viking practice to forecast your love, money, career, style and health every Sunday

Divination in runes is an ancient art that can be trace 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 tells about 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. They 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.

Fehu (29th June – 14th July)

A case that's been concealed comes to light. It may be something that's not previously been accepted but the time for its exposure is ripe now. It may cause emotions to fly for more than one person. Be neutral until all the facts are on the table. Listen to your inner voice before you decide.

Uruz (14th July – 29th July)

Resources and values ​​you have in common with others may become a topic in the coming weeks. There may be disagreement about how they should be viewed and interrupted. You may find that demands are made that are not real. Examine the facts. You will get the best out of it if you trust your intuition with the facts in mind.

Thurisaz (29th July – 13th August)

A journey - either physically or internally - may be the starting signal for a new beginning this week. The conditions are right for both short and long journeys to be successful. If you travel inwardly, your beliefs can be tested and further developed. Your outlook on life will change.

Ansuz (13th August – 29th August)

Things will develop well for you if you listen to your own needs. Knots can occur in close relationships. It may be that you are changing and setting other demands on those you associate with.

Hagalaz (28th October – 13th November)

Berkan (14th March – 30th March)

Intense emotions can be aroused in you as a result of an encounter with a person who fascinates and irritates you.

Have you been thinking about changing your lifestyle for a long time? The time has come to take action on your thoughts. A step towards your new life can lead to a better quality of life.

Othala (29th May – 14th June)

You have the most to gain from being on the supply side in close relationships. This applies to both personal and professional contacts. This is not the time to run ego races, but to meet others halfway. Misunderstandings in communication can occur. Set aside time to strengthen each other and love.

Dagaz (14th June – 29th June)

Now, in the next few days, especially this weekend, you can forge new strong ties. But if you put your own interests ahead of others, you could end up with an unwanted result.
