2025 Yearly Rune Forecast

---

What follows is a rune forecast for 2025 using Elder Futhark runes. The first rune represents each month’s overall focus, the second represents your strengths, and the third represents your challenges.

January – ᛒ ᛁ ᛖ

• Overall focus: Berkano ~ January brings new beginnings that may center around family, healing, and growth. There could be a pregnancy, a child born during this month, or a creative project that comes to fruition. You could be focused on protecting or guarding the security of your home and family. Or, you or someone close to you could be dealing with a health issue that needs compassion and support.
• Strengths: Isa ~ During the month, your focus is strong and aligned with higher consciousness. You let go of behavior or perceptions that don’t promote growth, and you expect the same from others, and you exercise your will in a manner that defines your purpose and resolve.
• Challenges: Ehwaz ~ A partnership may require you to accept a new paradigm that enables a new level of reciprocity or collaboration. Although you understand the need for such, you may be more accustomed to working independently, and a new approach may take some time to develop a new rhythm.

February – ᛃ ᚢ ᛉ

• Overall focus: Jera ~ The month of February transforms your energetic alignment with others, making it easier to collaborate and integrate your ideas into a more balanced experience. New growth is likely, both personally and professionally, and the new awareness that unfolds may inspire additional success throughout the month.
• Strengths: Uruz ~ Your inner strength enables you to shape your experiences over the month. Your endurance is strong and you take an active approach should any health issues arise.
• Challenges: Algiz ~ Stay connected to higher awareness, especially when challenges arise. Remain alert and, if necessary, stay in the shadows to assess the true nature of what you’re experiencing.

March – ᛃ ᚢ ᛖ

• Overall focus: Jera ~ You experience a new level of reciprocity between you and a partner(s) this month. An existing issue (or a new one) will benefit from a new approach and could likely transform your outlook. Remember that some of what you experience is due to the cyclical nature of life, and what you express to others can come back to you in unexpected ways. Stay positive, respect the input and experiences of others, and bless the energetic alignment you now share.
• Strengths: Uruz ~ You shape your reality over the month in a way that transforms old paradigms and heals past wounds that could be impacting your relationships with others. Your endurance and inner strength will guide your decisions.
• Challenges: Ehwaz ~ Maintaining a higher purpose regarding your relationships may prove challenging, and it’s up to you to move past any hesitance you might experience to collaborate with others.

April – ᛚ ᛃ ᛗ

• Overall focus: Laguz ~ Harmony is key this month, and your intuition will guide you toward that goal. Dream and trance workings may be helpful in maintaining your emotional balance, as are purification and cleansing rituals. Draw Laguz on your hands and over the 3rd Eye chakra on your forehead before engaging with others to increase and harmonize the flow of energy between you and whomever you’re with. If empathic, chanting Laguz in a ritual where you dissolve energetic connections or channels and then draw back your energy to you may be helpful.
• Strengths: Jera ~ You experience an unfolding awareness during the month that increases a strong, energetic alignment with others. This awareness and alignment transform your interactions and connection with others in your life, whether personal or in your career. You understand the cyclical nature of your experiences and make the most of the balance you maintain.
• Challenges: Mannaz ~ Understanding your role in your experiences may be clouded by old perceptions and attitudes. If so, integration with others may be more difficult than it needs to be. Meditate on achieving a higher vision so collaboration with others becomes effortless.

May – ᛁ ᛚ ᛇ

• Overall focus: Isa ~ Achieving stillness within will be important this month to avoid impulsiveness that could lead to conflict that damages your relationships or prevents success. This may involve exercising your will in a manner that is foreign to you, but in the end, it will foster inner control that may have been lacking thus far. If unwanted behavior from others or situations arises during the month, aligning in higher consciousness before addressing the problem can make all the difference when finding solutions.
• Strengths: Laguz ~ Your intuition guides you in creating an energetic flow between you and others during the month. Meditative work or rituals that cleanse and purify your own energetic balance may also be helpful.
• Challenges: Eihwaz ~ Acknowledging that your life in physical reality needs to be guided by higher consciousness may be challenging if you are unaccustomed to that process. Visualizing Eihwaz ᛇ can help you understand the flow of Spirit into your awareness so you react to difficult situations or impulsive behavior (your own or that of others) that originate from an egoic perspective.

June – ᚲ ᚺ ᚠ

• Overall focus: Kenaz ~ June is a transformative month that brings light to darkness, truth to deception, and awakens all to a higher vision. Clarity and understanding are easier to achieve, and healing old wounds and perceptions supports expressions of love and well-being. Creative solutions may resolve issues that have been difficult to understand and manage, while necessary truths may be revealed.
• Strengths: Hagalaz ~ You intuitively know how to transform your life and experiences by making choices that both preserve and protect your values, principles, and established boundaries.
• Challenges: Fehu ~ Transacting with others may be difficult without invoking inner growth and visualizing the abundance that may follow.

July – ᛈ ᛁ ᛜ

• Overall focus: Perthro ~ Who controls your fate may come into play this month, and how you understand the overall picture will be vital in maintaining control. Be clear on the cause and the effect of each situation or individual that tries to manipulate or control your perspective, and watch for synchronicities to happen that help you align with others in a shared purpose. More is going on behind the scenes than you and others realize, and you need to be aware of the motives and goals that can cause harm.
• Strengths: Isa ~ Alignment in higher consciousness will help you understand the overall picture, and help you avoid any impulsive actions that can back you into a corner. Focus your will in a way that reveals truth and helps you achieve your objectives.
• Challenges: Inguz ~ Something profound may manifest suddenly during the month that requires an inner focus to understand. Without that focus, however, you may not be ready to maximize your success.

August – ᛖ ᛜ ᛈ

• Overall focus: Ehwaz ~ Collaboration with others is favored this month, with intuition an important aspect of the collaborative process. You may experience a feeling of momentum as an overall focus or direction is chosen, and the partnerships that develop bind you to a mutual end. Relying on Higher wisdom is favored as you let go of perceptions that are ego-based.
• Strengths: Inguz ~ You intuitively recognize the potential in collaborative efforts with others, and the inner focus it takes to achieve a positive outcome.
• Challenges: Perthro ~ Watching for and then understanding the synchronicities that occur this month could be challenging if you give away your fate to the whims of others.

September – ᛏ ⵢ ᚠ

• Overall focus: Tiwaz ~ You may be standing up for yourself or others as well as your ideals this month. Legal matters may arise, and issues of justice may be a concern. Be prepared to sacrifice for what you believe and honor any oaths you’ve made.
• Strengths: Sowilo ~ Your self-confidence is high and it will carry you through if difficult decisions need making. You achieve clarity on a myriad of issues which guides you to making more realistic choices.
• Challenges: Fehu ~ Interactions with those who aren’t as aware as you are may impact your growth and success.

October – ᚱ ᚹ ᛏ

• Overall focus: Raidho ~ Focusing on the process instead of the overall goal will help you build the team approach necessary to succeed this month. Integrating with others will reinforce existing partnerships and provide the rhythm you need to move forward in a harmonious manner.
• Strengths: Wunjo ~ Fellowship with others comes easily this month, and the harmony and joy that results helps you achieve success.
• Challenges: Tiwaz ~ Staying true to your commitments or your word may be challenging if others aren’t doing the same. If so, then you should realize that it’s even more important than ever for you to set an example to follow.

November – ᚦ ᚾ ᛗ

• Overall focus: Thurisaz ~ You may feel opposition from others this month, especially if you’re beginning a new project or direction. Guard against any impulsive decisions, and be prepared to defend yourself to others if necessary. Although this month may feel chaotic at times, staying focused is key.
• Strengths: Nauthiz ~ The friction within to manifest your reality provides you with the impetus necessary to succeed. That inner focus motivates you to overcome any self-restriction or restrictions placed upon you by others.
• Challenges: Mannaz ~ Integration with others may prove difficult if you don’t establish a shared direction.

December – ⵢ ᛇ ᛜ

• Overall focus: Sowilo ~ Your self-confidence is strong this month, and clarity of purpose is easily achieved. You invoke your will in a way that reflects Higher awareness as you let go of the ego’s hold over your behavior and perceptions. Any deception you experience will be easily seen and dealt with.
• Strengths: Eihwaz ~ Your ability to draw down Higher awareness into your experiences raises your vibration and protects you from an egoic mindset, whether from yourself or others.
• Challenges: Inguz ~ Grounding yourself in perceptions that are realistic may be difficult if you react from an egoic perspective, or if you’re not able to resonate from an inner focus.
