This week’s Tryptik of Runes includes Jera |ᛃ|, Raidho |ᚱ|, and Laguz |ᛚ|.
“Take a break and do a quick road trip to the ocean,”…at least that’s what my Guides whispered when they saw this cast of Runes. But seriously, this week is all about reaping the rewards of all your hard work, taking a little travel break, and sitting by the water waiting for some further downloads.
Venus enters cancer Sunday so don’t be surprised if you just want to hunker down at home making your sanctuary spiffy and comfy. Jera certainly loves that vibe as it carries peaceful energy and reward. Today is a good day to plan some travel, says Raidho. And because Laguz is in the mix, the destination may just focus on water.
Starting with eleven-ses on Monday, the Sag moon squares up with Neptune and then trines with Jupiter as it goes void of course before shifting into Capricorn. That’s like a rat-a-tat-tat burst of energy, giving all of us an opportunity to dive deep into our creativity. This energy is great for revising, reviewing, and oh, look, Mercury retrograde is still upon us, so let’s keep focusing on reflecting on what needs our attention. Laguz is all about renewal, especially where healing is concerned, so use those energies to direct change. Raidho is all about accessing the energy and ‘eyesight’ to see the larger perspective and then travel towards change (improvement).
Tuesday is the day to tie up loose ends and finish things, says Jera. Looking at the cosmic weather, perhaps do so before 1256 hrs (pdt) as the sun and Uranus are conjunct in Taurus. And playing hooky the rest of the day and trying out something new with your bestie or partner may just be what Laguz ordered. Raidho and its adventurous energy concurs with its watery pal Laguz.
Midweek there’s mostly rapid-fire moon aspects, just remember it’s Capricorn energy, so stay focused on what you need to do so you can do what you want to do, as is very much Raidho energy. “Paint” Raidho on the pieces or parts of whatever you need to get done. This can just be “air” painting. Laguz’s message says that the measly middle of the pond sometimes can get you stuck, but just keep chugging forward. But if this week presents a problem or rather complication with the water in some manner, Raidho helps you through swiftly, moving your fanny away from the flood, plumbing issue or other water-centric event. But Woden’s Day Eve the moon moves into Aquarius giving us new insight into creatively dismantling everything in our way. Jera shows you where to re-plant in a manner that self-sows goodness in the future.
Thursday there are no barriers. The reward is at hand, says Jera. Laguz pulls you to the water – however that looks for you (hello, hot tub! Or Everything/Nothing Shower). There’s little reason to resist. The Moon is swirling that Aquarian energy of freedom, spontaneity, and having quirky conversations all through the day and night. If you do find yourself unable to resist the pull of Laguz to the water’s edge, Raidho will help you get there and miss the most of the traffic or provide you with great entertainment (your besties newest playlist or that cute hottie flirting with you in the next lane as you inchworm towards the coast. Overnight Mercury Rx in Taurus sextiles Saturn in Pisces, so good chance for dream messages regarding that repeating stress in your life where communication is blocked.
Friday the 4th Qtr Moon is upon us and Jera indicates a commitment will be the focus today. Could someone out there be popping an important question? That Mercury sextiles Venus in Cancer so socializing is on the agenda, even for us uber introverts. Happy hour anyone? Jera’s message is to watch for its upcoming harvest of a good time with ease of movement to make it happen, thanks to Raidho, and may the cups of goodness flow over, says Laguz. As the evening progresses your emotions may flow since La Luna is moving into Pisces. And before you turn into a pumpkin, Venus in Cancer trines Saturn in Pisces. The space for you to be real and true, and vulnerable in your emotions will be there then.
The week caps off with lots of recovery from such an active and unusual week. Soak in some water and re-examine all that happened since Mercury went retrogrades? What new things can you now move on or make better/stronger/faster? Jera says keep up the work; Laguz points to the growth you’ve been through these last 3 weeks-ish. And Raidho invites you to find your flow and rhythm into this next cycle of forward movement. You got this, Witch.

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 Beltane (remember astrologically we’re just cresting on that energy). This week’s Runes are ones procured from our fellow covenstead member: @the_evergrove
