This week’s Tryptik of Runes includes Raidho |ᚱ|, Isa |ᛁ|, and Thurisaz |ᚦ| .
The guidance from the Runes this week is to discern when to move forward, when to hold steady, and to understand that you can’t see the stars in the daytime. With Mercury and Venus in Retrograde, tread mindfully through financial, communication, and relationship issues. The Sun is in Virgo and we’re going to want to do all the things while setting up the scene for some loving fun.
Sunday is the Feast of Saint Monica and Mars enters Libra (0620 hrs pdt), keep an eye out for inequities in your life and do what you can to rectify matters. The energy from Raidho, along with the astro weather, will set the rhythm for the day to make the wheel of progress in your life turn significantly. Get to work, Witch!
Monday may be super productive with the Sun in Virgo and the Moon in Aquarius. Intellect and productivity rule the day. Then the big cosmic weather news that evening is that Uranus goes retrograde. This now means that Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto, plus now Uranus, are all retrograde. You better stop hard and take a breath before moving forward. Change, as Thurisaz represents, is always an ongoing process. So taking a breath before making the next step and making sure our bases are covered is the perfect end-of Monday task.
Wednesday we have the Full Moon in Pisces. Dang, it seems like I was just setting intentions for the Pisces New Moon. Summer moves fast when you’re planting, growing, and harvesting. Now to release the things that are holding you back from the next level-up version of you. Isa lends itself to practicing Magic that allows you to continue layering on a steady and strong approach to your goals. It also can help you with that discerning energy to know where to hold and where to let go. Not everything we think is a dream of ours is our true path. Be ready to pivot.
Friday the moon enters Aries and we may very well have everything lined up to make that pivot a giant leap forward. We have that great energy to move us through the rest of the week as Venus gets ready to turn direct in a few days. Protect what you’ve held onto through the Full Moon, and if your goals require you to travel, be sure you’re looking at the whole trip and not just one aspect of it so that you can move with ease. Isa is providing a strong foundation for Thurisaz and Raidho, which means there may be some tempering of skills, locations, or personnel in order to move forward. You’ve cleaned out the unnecessary with the Full Moon, so you can take that risk now. Put those witchy shoes on and take the first step.
Thank you for sharing your time with me here. Now go out there and be the Magic of the World!
