This week’s Tryptik of Runes includes Algiz |ᛉ|, Gebo |ᚷ|, and Laguz |ᛚ| (Merkstave).
Happy New Week, Witches! Last week was something, wasn’t it? Let’s see what the Runes and cosmic weather have in store for us.
Algiz is the protector; Gebo brings the loot, and Laguz wants you to be sure you have all the facts before moving forward. No seriously, Laguz is being very emphatic that if you’re in a rush to make a choice right now, you might want to wait until after Mercury is direct (May 14). If you can go with the flow until then, the right choice and path forward will reveal itself by the time Mercury is dancing away from its retrograde.
Sunday evening, you’ll want to use the gift of Mercury and Venus making mud pies in the sandbox together and spreading all kinds of smiles. Get yourself prepped and ready for the week ahead today and watch your witchy bootie sailing through the week checking off that to-do and to-want list.
You might find yourself staying up late Sunday night because the motivation is heavy from Algiz and its optimistic energy to take care of things and you’re feeling fine. Laguz says don’t stay up too late, because early Monday morning you may find that confusing dreams nudge you awake as the Gemini Moon squares Neptune in Pisces. Write down everything you recall about the dream to ponder the messages later. Because come afternoon, that moon enters Cancer and you may want to be planting under that watery moon – either literally or just a simple goal setting for home and hearth. Things planted now, say Gebo, will prosper. Making these changes will stave off boredom and inspire creativity, so go for it, echoes Laguz and Algiz.
Tuesday has big get-it-done astro energy with the Sun in Taurus sextiling Saturn in Pisces. Today we can lay good foundations for the structures that will sustain us going forward. Gebo comes in and reminds us to find playfulness in even our most dreaded tasks, or the scary ones, pipes in Laguz. Grumbling about chores attracts despair, says Laguz. Besides, who likes to be bored? Tuesday evening be ready for a trade, which will amp up your success. Laguz again is the heralding messenger here. Venus in Gemini sextiling Chiron in Aries (1650 hrs pdt) opens the door to loving communications of healing. You might just get the apology you’ve been waiting for or be the one giving that apology. Regardless of the roll, it is met with a deep love and you can snuggle into the night under the cozy Cancer moon.
Take Wednesday afternoon off, if you can, or do what you can to give yourself some space to move slowly during that time as the moon moves from a square with Jupiter in Aries and begins to go void course a couple of hours later. Impatience may be a thing with this, but Laguz already gave you a heads up and you’re ready to take a mindful break before getting back into it on Thursday with the moon having moved into Leo overnight.
Remember to choose gratitude, says Gebo, especially this Thursday as Mars in Cancer is squaring up to Chiron in Aries. Healing looks like being a bit of a Hermit on Thursday, and since it’s the second-quarter moon, just get yourself into a hot tub or long salt bath. If you’re somewhere warmish, maybe a dip in the ocean. This connection to water today will help you hone in on exactly what you must preserve to reach your prosperity goals. I see Algiz and Laguz pulling you like impatient children to reach the water’s edge.
How are you channeling your energy? That’s the focus of Algiz’s presence for the end of your week. Friday afternoon might also just call for a switch up of routine when the moon in Leo squares Uranus in Taurus (1226 hrs pdt). It’s time for creativity and doing the things you love and most certainly with the people you love. Things that help you reach a goal (folding the mountain of laundry from the week) while watching favorite comedians just might be what Freyja ordered. Avoiding another late night might be wise so you’re fresh for the get-it-done energy on Saturday with the Virgo moon.
We also have Mars in Cancer sextiling Uranus in Taurus. Plan fun for this afternoon with the folx whose spark matches yours. But no regular date will do tonight nope, it’s time to don your exploration gear, pack the protection of Algiz, the scrutiny of Laguz, and the gratitude of Gebo and take that relationship to the next level. For some of you, this means taking the relationship with yourself to the next level and that may mean taking the next step forward solo. Either way, you will be feeling your worth as that Virgo moon opposes Saturn in Pisces. (2241 hrs pdt). Gebo says, that’s good; keep it up.

Creator’s Note: A big shout out to Corey at Creative Images: Seven Oaks Grove on Etsy for creating the casting cloths that I prefer. Corey is a treat to support and quite the pro when it comes to some specialty ‘Nordic’ and rune-centered items. This week I picked the color of the cloth to honor the renewal energy of Spring. This week’s Runes are a bespoke acrylic set from the Artist The_Evergrove.
