Runic Astrology October 7th - October 13th: 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.

You are experiencing increased energy. A new beginning is on the horizon with the sun in your sign. Use this positive energy to take initiative in what you want to achieve, both professionally and personally. The solar eclipse last week may have triggered personal changes that are now beginning to take shape. Continue the journey.

You may now become more interested in spirituality and how it affects your close relationships. Spend time and energy exploring mysticism, either alone, with friends, or with a potential partner. Agree with yourself on the level of spiritual connection you need in a relationship.

The need to break away from everyday routines and explore new places or ideas defines this week. Take some time to plan your next holiday or take a break from your daily life. Your deepest desires will surface if you take the time to listen to yourself. Adjust your course.

Now, you may feel the need to withdraw a bit to reflect on your life. Use this time constructively to summarise what you have achieved over the past year. Which goals were realised, which remain, and what did you choose to leave behind? Meditation may bring clarity.

You are more concerned about your finances than usual. External factors may have affected your stability, and you may feel the need to take action. Adjust your course, whether it concerns your budget or investments. You may have already received a hint about this last week during the solar eclipse.

You will be more social than usual, and your social circle will expand as a result. New contacts and connections, both professional and personal, promise an exciting autumn. Someone you meet now may strike chords you didn’t know you had. Be open to expressing your feelings if you’re in a position to do so.

Your career goals and ambitions are highlighted this week. Have you experienced some frustration lately? Last week’s solar eclipse marked the end of this period and the beginning of clarity about what you should focus on in the coming months. Listen to the signals. Trust your intellect.

Now you may get an inspiring idea about what to further develop this autumn. It could be related to travel or education. Exploring new cultures or delving into a new direction may lead to a fresh start for you, both professionally and personally. Trust your instincts.

You need to protect yourself from unexpected noise in your daily life to complete your tasks this week. Strengthen your energy by relying on your own resources and abilities. You will gain the most by focusing on the details first. The need to change your daily routines is increasing. Meditation can help you find solutions.

You are now more in tune with your own energies. Last week's solar eclipse may have released suppressed will and energy that you’ve been holding back. Now is the time to step forward and take responsibility. Karma may lead to unexpected situations. Choose the path of wisdom.

Partners, both professional and personal, may demand more from you than you’re willing to give this week. Trust your instincts. Maintain boundaries between emotional intimacy and financial decisions. One follows the heart, the other the intellect. Discuss it with someone you trust.

The solar eclipse last week may have lifted the veil from your eyes, showing you realities you didn’t want to face. The real world also opens up a new direction, giving hope for a fresh path. New perspectives and directions will take place in your life. Open yourself up to them.

You may have received feedback from a friend, partner, family member, or colleague that has triggered a series of reactions in you and strengthened your talents. Now it’s time to put them into practice. Your confidence should have been boosted as a result. Any new relationships you establish now may last a long time, perhaps even permanently.

Maintaining balance in close relationships is crucial in the coming days for you to free up time to achieve your goals. Avoid compromising with those around you to meet their needs before your own. Dive into your own emotions and consider what you should prioritise first.

Your creativity is increasing. Give yourself the chance to blossom and live out some of your own projects and feelings this week. If romance is involved, take a chance. You won’t get anywhere by wondering if the other person feels the same as you—find out. Take the initiative.

You are now in an expansive period, alternating between taking initiative and passive observation. Which area of life this concerns may have already been hinted at during last week's solar eclipse. You will benefit most by balancing your own feelings and needs against the demands of others. Aim for the stars.

You may now experience that a meaningful conversation with someone close to you can put things into perspective and unlock a project you’ve had hanging over you. Trust in your own talents and strength to complete it. You are laying the foundation for something bigger. Let yourself be inspired.

You may now experience intense social encounters where you receive more attention than expected. Open yourself up to the unexpected interest you receive from someone else. Be curious and open-minded about what has led the universe to bring you together. There is a reason, but it’s up to you to find it and use it.

The need to find balance between your personal and professional life increases throughout the week. Communicate clearly and directly to avoid misunderstandings. In close relationships, you may feel emotions between you and another person growing stronger and deeper. If you are single, take the initiative.

Now is a good time to focus on self-care. You may have already been inspired by last week's solar eclipse to make improvements in your daily routines. Continue focusing on your health by taking care of both body and mind. Get others involved for added motivation.

Your creativity will increase throughout the week, peaking temporarily on Wednesday and Thursday. Art, exercise, classes, or new acquaintances may lead to a bit of flirting. Romance or new friendships may arise locally or on short trips. It might feel fated.

Now is a good time to create a personal spiritual space in your home. A place that is yours alone, where you can find peace, rest, and recharge. This could strengthen both your creativity and energy in the coming autumn months. Time with friends and family or reorganising your home may demand more of your attention in the second half of the week.

Financial matters come to the forefront, and it’s time to reconsider your budget. It may be tempting to jump into investments based on intuition, but be cautious and thoroughly research before committing. Plan for the future. Romance picks up mid-week, and a meeting might occur.

Now, you have the most to gain by working on developing your communication skills—both written and spoken. Whether through courses, a mentor, or on your own. If you feel disrespected, consider how you communicate about yourself. Find your self-worth.
