This week’s Tryptik of Runes includes Ansuz |ᚨ|, Pethro |ᛈ|, and Mannaz |ᛗ| .
Our spiritual practices are needing attention, says Ansuz. Pethro wants the cup that our Craft practices filled up…now. Ask for help to get the space, time, or resources to do what you need to do, because our humanity demands the spiritual, says Mannaz.
Take the time Sunday to consider how you are or can (some of us are behind, for sure! wink*wink) use the energy that this opportunity to examine our relationships provides. What’s good? Have you expressed gratitude for it? The combo of energy with all the Runes in this week’s reading are excellent for emotional expression, either through verbal, nonverbal, or artistic. Write a love note to yourself to start with, and then write another to your next strongest relationship. Send the letters or don’t. Burn them, if you like on the Full Moon. But take the time, Mannaz is going to make sure you have it this week. Use its energy, too.
The Capricorn Moon on Monday lets us cross tasks off our list, which should give you extra time to work on the things that temper your intuition and opens our receivers for Divine Downloads. When was the last time your altar and other spiritual tools received attention? Ansuz doodled in the shower turns that selfcare time into a meditation sesh. By the evening, we get a big slow down with the void-course moon and the wise Witch chills and leans into dreams of the future with the Aquarius moon coming in right about dream time (2058 hrs pdt).
Tuesday brings Lughnasadh and our full moon in Aquarius. Look back on the intentions you set in mid-January. How’d you do? Mars and Jupiter trine in the heavens (1345 hrs pdt). Mars is sitting in Virgo and Jupiter in Taurus. Your competitive nature may be amped up today and a reminder from Mannaz is your attitude and ability are winning, but you don’t always have to win to prove it. Being a good sport has a great chance to increase your standings in life as opposed to always having to be on top. Not everything needs a boss babe. Besides later (1918 hrs pdt) Mercury in Virgo opposes Saturn in Pisces bringing serious thinking and conversation to the dinner table. Don’t come to any conclusions, just let things ride. The time is not now, says Pethro.
Wednesday the Pisces moon and Pethro will have the good-idea fairy hitting us upside the head with inspiration, creativity, and deep intuition how to use all of it. If you’re feeling emo, lean into your spirituality. Ansuz is waiting.
Plan an easy, low-key Friday evening with the Pisces Moon going void of course when it sextiles Pluto in Capricorn. Unless you’ve got a regular volunteer gig on Fridays, keep the social stuff to just your most intimate mates. No big crowds, as you’ll probably be feeling a bit ready for the Aries moon come late-night (2319 hrs pdt).
Saturday might be the day that your help arrives that Mannaz promised. Use the clear cosmic energy to tend to relationships and your own spirituality. The Aries moon just might be kicking you in the pants to finally take that advice you’ve been given a dozen or more times. Your mind may be super sharp today with Ansuz on the cloth, so, again, go get it, Witch.
