• Rune: Laguz ᛚ – flow, unconscious, dream work, harmony, clairsentience, purification, intuition
• Geomancy: Cauda Draconis – Dragon’s tail, endings, karma, lower kingdom, evil, terminating affairs
• The Sun in Taurus; The Moon in Leo
• Planetary governance: The Sun ☉

You may receive some recognition from the pursuit of new opportunities that allow your innovative side to shine today. Your energy is high as you readily share your ideas with others, with your values and principles defining your self-expression. And you possess an intrinsic sense of timing while providing a detailed explanation of your position to others. 

You know to avoid actions that are impulsive or inappropriate that would likely be rejected by those with more experience.And if challenges arise, you’re willing to reevaluate your objectives by listening to your intuition so that you know you’re on the right path.

Monday, 9 May 2022

• Numerology: 9 – endings, completion, generosity, spirituality
• Rune: Fehu ᚠ – wealth, cattle, transaction, sending energy, growth, success
• Geomancy: Via – path, way, alignment
• The Sun in Taurus; The Moon in Leo until Virgo at 3:54 PM
• Planetary governance: The Moon ☽

With a situation or project coming to its conclusion, you may experience some set backs and others may be unwilling to provide support or assistance. Stay focused on your objective and don’t allow your emotions impact your choices. This may actually be an opportunity to begin a new period of growth where you engage with others in a completely new manner.

You may find that exercising some patience may eliminate further resistance, as will respecting the beliefs of others. Remain cautious in your assessment of the situation so that you learn what works and what is of little to no value in the long run. And if you need to take some time to reevaluate things further, your inner voice may provide the wisdom you’ve been looking for.

Tuesday, 10 May 2022

• Numerology: 1 – new beginnings, independence, leadership
• Rune: Ansuz ᚨ – Odin’s rune, Higher Self eloquence, clarity, divine message
• Geomancy:  Amissio – loss, sacrifice, hesitance, insecurity
• The Sun in Taurus; The Moon in Virgo
• Planetary governance: Mars ♂

Even though you may feel hesitant to engage with others, doing so might give you the clarity you’re missing. It may be that you’ve been trying to arrive at a conclusion without having enough information. However, as you express your concerns, in the process you may realize that others appreciate both your unique perspective and dedication.

You may have been relying on past insights that in your current situation aren’t going to yield any positive results. With Mercury stationing retrograde today, reevaluation will likely be necessary, as will supporting the input from others. Remain calm and balanced amidst any disruptions that might occur and avoid any egoic responses that could have a negative impact.

Wednesday, 11 May 2022

• Numerology: 11 – Master Number, illumination, awakening, enlightenment
• Rune: Berkano ᛒ – birch, fertility, family, protection, new beginnings, healing, growth, fruition
• Geomancy: Amissio – loss, sacrifice, hesitance, insecurity
• The Sun in Taurus; The Moon in Virgo until Libra at 11:35 PM
• Planetary governance: Mercury ☿

Although you relate well to others, you may need to step back and engage in some reflection during Mercury’s retrograde period, especially if interactions with others have been difficult. It’s important to examine whether or not your words have actually alienated the very people from whom you need support. Inner growth is possible today if you can let go of any insecurities that have been holding you back. Today’s Master 11 influence provides the space to awaken to truth that can open doors to new relationships and shared experiences.

Find a way to express your individuality in a manner that doesn’t threaten the outcome you desire and keeps any oversensitivity at bay. You may feel as if you’re walking a tight rope with others who have their own issues and you need to be flexible enough to alter your own behavior if progress isn’t in sight.

Thursday, 12 May 2022

• Numerology: 3 – optimism, imaginative self-expression, and attention to detail
• Rune: Uruzᚢ – primal forming essence, health, endurance, strength, aurochs, energy shaping matter
• Geomancy: Amissio – loss, sacrifice, hesitance, insecurity
• The Sun in Taurus; The Moon in Libra
• Planetary governance: Jupiter ♃

You may be rather impatient when expressing your ideas and perspectives during this period, especially if it seems that others don’t agree or their expectations of you are unrealistic. And it may be best to put on hold anything that can wait for another day. Remember that you have the ability to shape your experiences, and it may be best to move forward on your own.

It makes no sense to either engage in or respond to behavior that is fragmented or relies on insights that will never yield results. Instead, a more conservative approach may be needed as well as the knowledge that sometimes you have to let go of control to truly find your path forward.

Friday, 13 May 2022

• Numerology: 4 – order, pragmatism, patience, hard work, structure
• Rune: Tiwaz ᛏ – Tyr, faith, truth, justice, sacrifice, idealistic male, spiritual warrior, justice
• Geomancy:  Fortuna Minor – lesser fortune, outer assistance, progressive success
• The Sun in Taurus; The Moon in Libra
• Planetary governance: Venus ♀

Stay true to your goals today, and take a pragmatic approach that favors hard work and sacrifice. Accept assistance from others with more experience and know that sometimes the process is more important than the ultimate goal. 

Although you love to engage with others, you need to trust your instincts surrounding a partner during this period. Not everything may be as it seems and you may need to offer additional understanding and compassion, especially if you have misjudged your partner, or if Mercury’s retrograde effect is making interactions difficult. Be mindful of any opposition you experience and define a strategy that leads to clarity. Express yourself in a direct manner that also shows others that you’re open to their ideas and perspectives. 

Saturday, 14 May 2022

• Numerology: 5 – innovation, travel; freedom versus responsibility, protection
• Rune: Inguz ᛜ – seed, sudden release of energy, potential, DNA, gardening, male fertility, inner focus, grounding
• Geomancy: Cauda Draconis – Dragon’s tail, endings, karma, lower kingdom, evil, terminating affairs
• The Sun in Taurus; The Moon in Libra until Scorpio at 3:34 AM
• Planetary governance: Saturn ♄

You need to strike a better balance between work and taking time for yourself so that you don’t lose focus. If boundaries are lacking, be clear in your message to others but above all, own your own issues without blaming others. The potential is there to accomplish much, but you may benefit from some down time to reflect on what you really want.

With some patience and an attention to the overall picture, a new paradigm can be established. And your past experience will guide you on a path of diversity through alignment with others. If you need to assert your perspective, do so with objectivity so that your emotions don’t control the moment.
