This week’s Tryptik of Runes is Eihwaz |ᛇ|, Thurisaz|ᚦ|, and Naudhiz |ᚾ|.
Communication, protection, and resistance are the keywords to take forward into this week, say the Runes. All to make those things stronger, better, more integrated into your life. Where do you need to communicate, protect, or resist? As Heimdall’s aett is the bread in our Tryptik sandwich of the thorns of Thurisaz, which resides in Freyja’s aett. Eat yourself some beauty surrounded by intellect, Witches. All week.
As we consider the astrology for the week alongside the energies of the Runes, the biggest focus is on Monday’s New Moon in Scorpio. Will you stay up late or rise early to greet this passionate moon? Want to start something new, but need some privacy? This is a good moon for that. You got all day on Monday to work with that energy. Eihwaz is the Rune of Death and Regeneration, so working with this Rune alongside your moon work, just might be what Heimdall ordered. Be ever watchful as confusion sometimes follows Eihwaz. Small slow solutions for the win. Hopefully you spend Sunday foraging in the forest and getting close to Mama Nature to help you work that Magic on Monday even more powerfully, especially since the Sun and uranus in Taurus will be in opposition (0921 hrs pst) and there may be some resistance to the upcoming changes you want. I’m glad that Naudhiz is here to show us exactly what we need to do and what not to do. Trust your intuition, Witch.
Wednesday Mercury in Sagittarius sextiles Venus in Libra. Quiet success in all you do is on the agenda today, as Eihwaz confirms. You’ll find the way over the barriers to your goals today. Be ready, says Naudhiz, because a bestie just might have the key to it. Talk it over coffee and find that win-win.
Around the witching hour on Friday, Mars in Scorpio moves into a trine with Neptune in Pisces. If dreams have been confusing as of late, be ready to accept some clarity from them during this transit. Honestly, Mars loves being in Scorpio (just don’t tell his buddies) because it can be strong and sensual there. Mars’ tough energy finds some silken edges during this time. Dreams may have a more physical feel to them. Just be sure that you’re practicing protection. Remember, too, that sex dreams speak to our love and happiness, not just attraction and instinct. In the physical world this might give you the ‘take the lead’ reins. Go for it, says Thurisaz. Friday night the sun conjuncts Mars in Scorpio (2142 hrs pst), bringing some extra energy to the evening. Be sure to release the steam valve carefully and avoid any ‘explosive’ situations. This is certainly a ‘be prepared not scared’ situation. Again, shields up. Maybe plan to spend the transit doing some yoga or breath work. Remember if there is conflict, help is available. Make the call, Witch.
Saturday’s Aquarius moon lets us focus on brainy stuff. Working with Eihwaz today will help you harness even more strength. This is your reminder if you’re having a big family gathering on the 23rd to tend to the frozen roast beast and get it thawing. As you do, say a little prayer of gratitude. If your life lets you celebrate, really lean into it. The intention you put into even the mundane today may be just a small drop that can be a wave of goodness in a few days. All this or better. So it is.
With all that in mind, what Magic will you create this week?
Thank you for sharing your time with me here. Now go out there and be the Magic of the world. ~Runa
