This week’s Tryptik of Runes includes Perthro |ᛈ|, Berkano |ᛒ|, and the set: Thurisaz |ᚦ|. Birth, Nurture, and Protection are what they say the week’s themes will be. Let’s look at it more closely.
Confession time: When I pulled Perthro, I knew the next Runes would be Berkano and Thurisaz. Without boring you with the details, let’s just say they figure prominently in the spell I just finished writing – that upcoming book I keep reminding you about Magic In Your Cup: A Witch’s Guide to Sippable Spellcraft. And if you note the photo, Thurisaz is outside where I normally pull the third member of the Tryptik. It jumped and I let it stay there. I’m listening, Freyja. Perhaps a jumping Rune may be a message for one of you, as well.
We are entering the nesting season, the season of birthing. Perthro comes in and brings us new knowledge about our destiny. It’s time to dream big. And Berkano is letting us know that we will have everything to nurture what we want/will birth. Thurisaz’s message aligns perfectly because it shows that protection of what we birth is available alongside the resources to nurture and sustain it. Although, I’m hearing from Thurisaz that you must be on the lookout for a liar in your midst. Be observant.
When we consider the astrology alongside the messages from the Runes, we have another form of guidance. On Sunday we rise with a Sagittarius moon that will square Saturn in Pisces right at prime Brunch Hour (1110 hrs PST). Your brunch date may have to be canceled, but be glad for the raincheck – this transit is perfect for taking a nap and doing dream work. If brunch plans are a go – don’t start a fight and focus on things like making travel plans for spring. Perhaps birthing a girl’s weekend is exactly what Perthro ordered.
Late Sunday, Mercury moves into Aquarius (2110 hrs. PST). This may give us a very rational viewpoint going forward into the workweek. The collective moving forward and being able to communicate and elaborate on this – that energy will be coming in hot. Be ready for it. Thurisaz reminds you to take care of yourself and protect your time, energy, and resources – of course, you want to support that cause or candidate but don’t do so at your own budget’s peril.
Monday we’ll be waking up (or going to bed…) to Venus in Capricorn squares Chiron in Aries and less than an hour later, the Sun sextiles Chiron. A half hour after that Mercury is conjunct Pluto in Aquarius. Spirit is not sure many will sleep that night, that’s some interesting energy. But sleep is probably the best thing – dreams might uncover mysteries. In the morning, make that appointment to better your health says Berkano.
On Tuesday, the moon moves into Capricorn, giving us some real grounding energy to take care of business. Ready to clean the closet? Get it done. What ‘have to’ have you been putting off? Get it done Tuesday, says Perthro. Dentist? Doctor? Nails? Library run? Lawyer? Get it done now.
Wednesday Venus in Capricorn trines Uranus in Taurus (1325 hrs PST). Today is the day to maybe dare to try some new Kitchen Witchery or swipe yes. Be careful of overspending because you want all the hot new spring looks – instead, set a budget, says Berkano, and hit the thrift stores. Mars in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces a few hours later (1620 hrs PST). This may spark new ideas on how to protest against the world’s ills. Be ready to act. This is a great evening to spend with others and spread that regenerative catalyst that Thurisaz’s energy gives you.
On Thursday, the moon will enter Aquarius (0559 hrs. PST), which may have you planning all the new moon intentions (coming Friday at 1459 hrs. PST). Berkano suggests taking advantage of that renewed energy with your spirituality. Friday be ready for that Aquarian New Moon, for some situations where you can free yourself from fear, anger, and envy. Let go of that need for control. Look to the future and a better way and you. Birth something better. Nurture a better life. Protect the good in life.
