Runes for the Week
Sunday – Ansuz (4) – hear the voice of Spirit and the message it brings giving no attention to the ego’s influence. Remain on a healing path. Meaning: Air, Odin’s rune, divine message, Spirit communication, eloquence, creation, Higher Self, divinity, clarity
Monday – Uruz (2) – new thought patterns form today as perceptions continue to shift. Health issues continue as the virus has yet to be contained and businesses re-open. However, with the influence of Uruz, we can arrive at a unified understanding of what’s at stake. Alignment in shared understanding and truth promises a better outcome than dissension and denial will surely create. Meaning: Water, primal forming essence, health, endurance, healing, strength, aurochs, energy shaping matter
Tuesday – Othala (24) – security and peace are on our minds today as the country contends with both the virus and the killing of George Floyd. Who we are is at stake now. Who we are as individuals and who we are as a collective of souls inhabiting this country together has become the real issue and if we don’t address it, more chaos will ensue. Ponder this…if you’re confused at all on which side you should reside. Meaning: Earth, sacred space, ancestral heritage, Akash, protection, prosperity, balance, loyalty, tradition, security, peace, inheritance, possessions
Wednesday – Algiz (15) – allow perceptions to shift toward a higher level of understanding. Draw inspiration from the collective aspect of Self and allow the voice of inner truth to inform our choices and decisions. Meaning: Air/Fire/Water, elk, protection, BiFrost bridge between physical and astral realms, higher consciousness, divinity.
Thursday – Kenaz (6) – seek clarity today from Spirit as you maintain your alignment from yesterday. Pay attention to intuition and synchronicities and be transformed! Meaning: Fire, torch, light, illumination, clarity, revelation, healing, well-being, love, intuition, transformation, creativity, awakening
Friday – Tiwaz (17) – allow the spiritual warrior within to rise up and set an example for others to follow as we continue to stay home if possible or otherwise go out and about safely, protecting both self and others. Self-discipline and sacrifice are required for our efforts to be successful. Meaning: Air, spiritual warrior, faith, justice, idealistic male, oaths, sacrifice, Tyr, legal matters
Saturday – Berkano (18) – a sense of new beginnings may be experienced today and it’s possible that new information regarding the pandemic may be revealed. Berkano, an Earth element rune, fosters healing and growth, so use this energy to protect self and others. Meaning: Earth, fertility, birth, family, protection, new beginnings, healing, growth, projects to fruition, birch tree
Lunar Influences
Sunday ~ Virgo until Libra at 7:38 am PDT – spend time with a partner today. Balanced reason and understanding are favored over fear and doubt.
Monday ~ Libra – seek peace and harmony today whether alone or safely with others. Avoid stress by enjoying some time in nature.
Tuesday ~ Libra until Scorpio at 9:06 AM PDT – emotions increase early in the day as the Moon travels into Scorpio making this an emotionally challenging day. Take a step back if diplomacy or tact are limited.
Wednesday ~ Scorpio – continue to channel difficult emotions into a single focus if possible today. Scorpio’s effect on our moods can be challenging and it can be difficult to include the needs of others. So, take time for yourself and find a better balance.
Thursday ~ Scorpio until Sagittarius at 10:17 AM PDT – focus shifts today to a desire to engage with others. Leadership skills are strong today so lend a hand (safely) if someone needs assistance.
Friday ~ Sagittarius – remain open to sharing with others today, offering assistance wherever you can. Spend some time outside if you can do so safely and organize a project such as a garden. Gardens provide not only food but also hope so put on your garden gloves and work the soil!
Saturday ~ Sagittarius until Capricorn at 12:45 PM PDT – take a disciplined and self-reliant approach today. Review current progress and make necessary corrections.
I Ching/Human Design Influences
Human Design involves the blending of the planetary positions with the I Ching. The I Ching consists of sixty-four guas (hexagrams), each one containing six lines with their own specific message. You can see from the above Rave Mandela how the hexagrams or guas are arranged around the chart with the bodygram in the center.
Most planets, particularly the outer planets as well as the Sun, remain in roughly the same place, changing only their line numbers throughout the week. The Moon, however, changes both its Gate and Line number daily. In addition, as planets move, energetic channels may form between the gates and when they do, I’ll include them because they can provide underlying supportive energies which may be helpful.
As you can see, while some gates remain the same, their lines do change reflecting the subtlety found in the six lines of each I Ching hexagram. While the overall message may be the same, each line suggests another perspective or focus. Another aspect to note is that the outer planets, as well as the Moon’s Nodes, tend to remain the same throughout the week and sometimes the month as well to provide an underlying perspective or foundation to the information.
As with last week, we continue to accept that self-isolation may be necessary a while longer (Jupiter 60.1 Acceptance) and possess the patience to continue on that path (Saturn 60.6 Rigidity).
Sensitivity is required now (Mercury 15.5) not only with respect to the pandemic, but regarding the recent killing of George Floyd. Passions are rightly high now as the killing of a man by a police officer is viewed by all. While we reflect on this tragedy, allow for a shared experience (Venus 35.5 Altruism) and consider the best path forward (Mars 63.1 Composure)
With Mercury’s placement at Gate 52.1 counseling that we think before we speak, if the situation appears untenable, then it may be that no further involvement is possible (Moon 18.2 terminal disease). Expressions of altruism (Venus 35.5) may focus others onto a higher path today providing the structuring necessary (Mars 63.2) for profound change. And with the Channel of Concentration active today, we have the determination to exceed all expectations.
We’re asked to continually look past what is happening to African Americans in our country, as if there are no answers possible (Moon 57.6 Utilization) which is ridiculous. Instead, we must remain steadfast in our demand for respect and dignity (Earth 5.1 Perseverance).
Although restraint will be required going forward (Mercury 52.2 Concern), the benefit of that will be apparent in our hunger for progress as we fight for a more harmonious existence together (Venus 35.4) (Mars 63.3 Continuance)
With Mars remaining at Gate 63.3 Continuance the dedication exists now to establish a new framework of experience as we continue our collaboration (Venus 35.3) toward a more loving and shared path.
The Sun and Venus, both at Gate 35.3 collaboration, reinforce and strengthen the effect of the Channels of Awareness and Rhythm as we come together in shared purpose. Patience (Moon 43.1) and self-discipline (Mercury 52.4) will be required, however, to avoid compulsive behavior if feelings of helplessness occur.
However, there is power to be found in non-resistance (Moon 34.5 annihilation), allowing the extreme actions of others to define their behavior instead of your own. Observe as destructive forces make every attempt to undermine progress (Earth 5.4 the hunter) and refuse to play that game.
In truth, the very soul of our country is at stake here as diversity is on display in the protests and in the message of unity that is expressed by so many (Sun 35.5 Altruism). As we learn from the lessons of history (Moon 26.2), let our actions be founded in peacefulness, joy, and humility (Mercury 52.6, Earth 5.5, Venus 35.1), in affirmation of all that has happened and in service to the shared road before us (Mars 63.5).
