Runic Astrology August 5th - August 11th: What do the runes have in store for you this 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.

When we're born, we all get our own rune stone (find yours here). This 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.

The time has come to address things you are dissatisfied with, whether it's your role in relation to others, especially a partner, your image, or your appearance. Everything you do to become a better version of yourself, whether it's clothes, hair, or otherwise, can be successful.

The next few weeks are an excellent time to change something you're unhappy with, whether it's your image, how others perceive you, or a role you're indirectly forced to take on publicly. Actions you take now will yield great results. Reflect on what worked for you before. The earlier in the week you start, the better the effect.

Now is the time to step back a bit and reflect on what you've achieved in recent months and where to go next. Meditation can help you on your way. By listening to the message from your soul, you are one step closer to the life you desire. A small step is the start of your new existence.

You can benefit from slowing down your daily pace. Take time to listen to your intuition. The universe is trying to tell you something. If it's hard to disconnect or unplug, a walk in nature can help you connect with your inner guide. Trust your gut feeling.

Your role in groups, networks, and organisations may be changing. If you're offered a position, consider it carefully. Take time to reflect on where you want to go next. Avoid rushing into anything; take your time before deciding. Romance or a brief flirtation may arise in connection with a group event.

It's time to reconnect with former contacts, both professionally and privately. Someone you were closer to in the past may reappear as a resource in your current situation and future plans. Romance or a flirtation may occur with someone you already know.

Now is the time to assess your career goals and ambitions. This is a good week to set new professional goals and showcase your leadership. Make a solid plan, but wait until the turn of the month to act on it. Double-check all work and avoid major changes now.

This week may bring challenges. Misunderstandings with colleagues or your boss may arise, so communicate clearly. The same applies at home. Old tasks may demand attention. Use the days to reorganise and plan ahead.

Delays in travel or education may be a theme this week. Reorganising these activities may be necessary. Some old wisdom or a previous life philosophy you encountered before may resurface, offering new perspectives. Be open.

New opportunities for partnerships and collaborations may arise, or a reorganisation of existing relationships. This is a good time to set new goals in relationships and collaborations. An old conflict may resurface. Be open to dialogue, but also be careful not to make hasty decisions.

This week highlights your deepest bonds and shared resources. It’s a time to strengthen relationships and collaborate on a deeper level. However, be cautious with financial agreements, as there may be hidden pitfalls. Go through all details carefully and consult a professional if needed.

Now is a time for patience and willingness to share, both in professional and private relationships. If you show tolerance and give of yourself, you will receive the same in return, provided you're in a good relationship or collaboration. If not, it's time to reassess which bonds should be cut and which should remain.

The universe highlights your close relationships, both professional and private. This is a perfect time to breathe new life into existing relationships. If you want to change something in an existing relationship, now is a good time to discuss it with your partner. However, old conflicts may surface. Be open to dialogue.

Emotions you thought were resolved may resurface when you encounter someone you were once close to. Take a few days to consider whether there is something to pursue or not. Determine if this person has re-entered your life for closure or a new beginning.

The universe encourages you to focus on health and daily routines. Set new wellness goals. The energy from the stars may cause minor delays and misunderstandings, both professionally and privately. Take time to double-check everything and be extra patient with colleagues.

You may rekindle a friendship or romantic connection that has been on the horizon for a while. If you are sensitive and in touch with your inner and universal forces, it will be no surprise who comes back into your life. This could happen through a chance meeting or via social media.

Your competitive spirit is high this week, and you may find opposition from others motivating and inspiring. However, others may find you difficult to deal with or cooperate with. At the beginning of the week, critical comments may backfire if you are not specific. Be clear.

Your energy picks up this week, inspiring increased self-expression. It's a good week to express your individuality and dust off old creative projects or resume a hobby or form of exercise you once had time for. Communication with others may slow down this week, and misunderstandings could arise.

A growing need for emotional clarity may lead you to withdraw somewhat. You may feel the urge to dive deep into your emotions and need time and space for this process. The pressure from the universe may make it difficult to express yourself clearly in the coming weeks. Take time to find your own path.

This week is an excellent time to create harmony and make changes at home. However, major changes in the foundation involving the extended family may bring up old family conflicts or technical challenges at home. Take the time to resolve these with patience and calm.

This week, you may experience increased creativity and new ideas. However, unclear communication may lead to confusion in conversations. Be extra mindful of the details in contracts and agreements in the coming weeks. It's a good time to reconsider old projects rather than start new ones until the end of August or early September.

This week brings a wave of social energy and new opportunities for networking. It’s a great time to meet new people and expand your social network. However, be cautious with communication. Misunderstandings may occur more easily than usual. Be patient and listen carefully.

Reveal yourself. The Universe is on your side in the coming days. The time has come to show the world what you have developed into and what you can contribute. Monday and Thursday are particularly favourable days. Romance picks up in the second half of the week, and the full moon over the weekend may bring magical events.

You are entering one of the best periods of the year for you. The full moon in the second half of the week may lead to you entering a relationship that could become very significant for you in the future. Alternatively, you might start a specific activity. It seems that it will be both long-lasting and committing.
