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.

Hagalaz (28th October – 13th November)

You may feel drawn to exploring new relationships, especially romantic ones. If you’re single, you may participate in a more active and social environment for meeting people. However, be prepared for some unexpected events. Be adventurous, but wise.

Nauthiz (13th November – 28th November)

Unexpected events may shake the foundation of one or more close relationships, whether personal or professional. It may feel challenging, but the universe’s energy gives you strength to endure. Step back and view things from a calmer perspective. Hold onto your values and act accordingly.

Isa (28th November – 13th December)

You may be challenged by someone close to you. This could be work-related, but is more likely connected to personal relationships. It may feel unfair. Consider if it’s a pattern they need to manage or if it’s something you should address. Go for what’s enduring—yourself.

Jera (13th December – 28th December)

This week, you may feel overwhelmed by your own emotions. This could be connected to something last week’s new moon brought up. Use meditation, yoga, and other practices to find inner stability and peace. You’ll grow through this week’s challenges and have the strength to face them well.
