I don\u2019t know about you, but I\u2019m loving the weather we\u2019ve been having lately here at Villa Westwyk. I hope you are getting a good Spring, too!<\/p>\n<p>The Runes seem to be indicating that there\u2019s some general upset with relationships (hello Mercury Rx), a focus on abundance (hello, we\u2019re at Beltane!), and honoring the ancestors. The Runes obviously know where we are in the Wheel of the Year, too.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday\u2019s energy from the cosmic weather is cozy for a late brunch, and then doing whatever you want until retiring early. Mannaz suggests actually creating an awareness around the things you need to feel safe and secure may start today for you. Again with Mercury retrograde this is a great time to review the ways in which we take care of ourselves and our kindred. Don\u2019t be surprised if news today comes in about family-line traumas. Chiron may just touch your dream work tonight to give you even more insight about how to heal and help others do so, too.<\/p>\n<p>Monday the big news of the day is that Pluto is heading retrograde. Avoid arguments with those you love when the Virgo moon squares Venus in Gemini. Communication clears up when the sun and mercury dance in the sky together in nice and grounding Taurus. Fehu reminds us to look for wealth outside of our bank account, too. Think you\u2019re having a bad week? Think about your ancient ones and what they may have been contending with? How many more fabulous tools and technology do we have, says Mannaz, to help us create the reality we want. Be ready for dreams Monday night, as Othala\u2019s energy helps additional ancestral spirits find you for guidance. Trace Othala in your dream journal before bed. See what happens in the morning.<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday balancing checkbooks or bookkeeping might be necessary, says Fehu. The Libra moon may have you feeling unsure about where to put some of the resources you\u2019ve been saving (energy, time, or cold, hard cash); but, Othala reminds you that you know your heart is in the arena where it will serve not just you but your kindred.<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday the primal fire within Fehu just might help you roll on through all your tasks and responsibilities with ease and expertise. Be alert for those who you encounter today who may just share your values. Mannaz Merkstave is bringing new folx to your life. Be open, but don\u2019t be rash. Slow development is often sustainable development.<\/p>\n<p>Thursday, the Scorpio moon alongside Mannaz Merkstave indicates a need for a pretty quiet day today. Especially given the square between Venus and Neptune. A solitary lunch in the park just might be what <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eir\" target=\"_blank\">Eir <\/a>ordered. Besides, Friday is all kinds of exciting, so rest up today so you can use every last drop of the Full Moon release over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Friday is Freyja\u2019s day; Fehu is Freyja\u2019s Rune. Today, you may want to use art to wade through the deeper emotions this Scorpio moon brings and especially when it\u2019s trining Mars in Cancer. Whatever your medium there is good energy, especially given Fehu\u2019s unstructured creativity energy, to bend the medium to reveal your deepest thoughts. Powerful stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Sleep in on Saturday and let that Scorpy moon and Neptune in Pisces bring you some deep messages from the Dream Maker. Again, Othala can absolutely accompany you in dream work. In the afternoon our Lady Luna enters Sagittarius. Mannaz warns to be alert for anyone trying to blow smoke up your fanny. Formulas and patterns may be revealed as that truth-teller moon sextiles Pluto in Aquarius. Deep conversations around the plight of man tonight may actually heighten connections to your ancestors. What structures, asks Othala, can you begin to erect that will add to the safety of you and yours?<\/p>\n<p>Relationships are work, says Mannaz; where is the work easy and evenly distributed, and where are things off balance? Where can your creativity help you find ways to new success and prosperity, asks Fehu. Where can you place importance and where can you improve on your heritage and ancestry is the question from Othala. These are your focus for the week.<\/p>\n<p>If these readings are resonating with you, please leave a comment and let me know here. Thank you for sharing your time with me here.
