Rune of the Day: Uruz Reversed
 
 
You may feel a bit under the weather today; don't worry it won't last long.  It is just your system getting back in balance.  Sometimes we spend too much time focusing on the material in life, and our spiritual side gives us some down time so we can get our equilibrium back. 
 
Tarot Card of the Day: 5 of Staffs
 
 
You may have a lot to get done today, and feel like you are being thwarted at every turn.  It may seem like absolutely nothing is going your way, and that you will never finish what you've started.  Just do the bare essentials, most of it can wait til later in the week.
 
The Two Together
 
The pairing of Uruz reversed with the 5 of Staffs is telling us to slow down.  Actually, its pretty much making us slow down, either by putting obstacles in our way, or by making us feel a little under the weather.  I know sometimes that's the only way I stop, is when I am ill.  Listen to what the Universe is saying and take time for yourself today, get yourself back in balance.  You'll be able to function much better once you do. 
 
Blessings!

Rune of the Day: Tir Reversed


Don't be so blinded in the pursuit of your goals that you miss what is going on around you.  Being so single-focused can cause you to lose part of yourself, or to slight others.  It also makes it easy for less scrupulous people to take advantage of you.
 
Tarot Card of the Day: Justice Reversed


Things in life don't always happen fairly, people don't always treat you honestly.  Sometimes you are blamed for things you had nothing to do with.  This may be a life lesson, or it may be something you can avoid by being aware of what is going on around you.  
 
The Two Together
 
Tir and Justice, both reversed, are clearly saying that things may not go well for us today.  This may be because we have been so focused on ourselves and our goals that we have been neglecting the big picture around us.  Take some time today to see what is going on with the people around you-maybe you can help them and save yourself some hassle in the process.
 
Blessings

Rune of the Day: Beork
 
 
Lots of new things are on the way today: new experiences; possibly a new family member-a pregnancy or a marriage perhaps?  Stretch your creative wings today, try something new: writing, drawing, building, painting, whatever speaks to you.
 
Tarot Card of the Day: 4 of Staffs
 
 
 
This is a day to enjoy the good things in life-maybe even to indulge in a little romance.  It should be a fairly tranquil day, one to rest and enjoy the work you've put in on building the life you want. 
 
The Two Together
 
Beork and the 4 of Staffs are both telling us to relax today, to enjoy ourselves, to do what makes us happy.  Make sure to include others in your circle today, both also speak of the joys of family and relationships, including friends.
 
Blessings!

Rune of the Day: Kenaz Reversed


Anything can be used for good or for bad: a knife can be used in cooking, or as a weapon.  The same with our words and attitudes with each other.  We can build each other up, or try to tear each other down.  Think carefully before you speak or act today: are you making things better or worse? 
 
Tarot Card of the Day: Death Reversed


 You may feel like you are stuck in a rut today, that things are progressing at a snail's pace.  Sometimes stagnation is needed so we can recharge ourselves, and other times it is a way of inspiring us to try something new so that we can shake things up.   Which do you feel like doing today?

The Two Together

Kenaz reversed paired with Death reversed is warning us not to take out our frustrations on others, or in a negative way.  Being stuck can be frustrating, but it is much better to climb your way out of the rut, and lift yourself up by being positive, than it is to climb out by stepping on others, or harming them. 
 
Blessings!

Rune of the Day: Hagall

 

Again today things just don't go your way-the Universe is clearing the deadwood from your life so that there is room for the blessings that are coming your way.  The more old stuff that is removed, the freer you are to accept new blessings.
 
Tarot Card of the Day: Sun

 

Sometimes it is the little things in life that give us the most enjoyment-seeing flowers bud and bloom, green breaking through the ground after a long winter, the feel of the sun on your face.  Take the time to enjoy all the little things today and appreciate how blessed you truly are. 
 
The Two Together

The Sun paired with Hagall is reminding us to appreciate the little things in life, the blessings that we have.  Although we may be in the middle of big changes in our life, and not comfortable while the change is happening, we do have lots to appreciate, to enjoy in the moment.  That is where we should focus when we get discouraged.
 
Blessings!

Rune of the Day: Isa
 
 
It feels like the rest of the world is conspiring against you today.  No matter what you try, something goes wrong.  You may even find yourself moving backwards.  Don't try to fight through the blockages, just step back and let them work themselves out.  Sometimes retreat really is the best option.
 
Tarot Card of the Day: Wheel of Fortune
 
 
Things come full circle today, look for the patterns in your life.  No matter how badly or well something is going, it will always change.  Expect some of those changes today; remember that they are not personal, they are part of the cycle that is our lives.
 
The Two Together
 
Isa paired with the Wheel of Fortune is reminding us that even when things don't seem to be changing, there are still forces working behind the scenes.  Sometimes they seem to be working in our favor, and sometimes against us.  We just have to remember that life is full of cycles, and from the worst tragedies can arise the greatest blessings.
 
Blessings!

Rune of the Day: Othala
 
 
 Don't be surprised if a relative you rarely hear from reaches out to you today.  Family is a large part of who we are, whether we love them or hate them.  Its a good day to think about burying the hatchet with those family members you've had disagreements with, especially if they are reaching out to you.

Tarot Card of the Day: 8 of Wands Reversed
 
 
 It may feel like you are standing still at work, like no one is noticing all the extra effort you put in.  Office politics and petty disputes among coworkers seem to be all that is going on today.  Just stay out of all that, you don't need to lower yourself to that level.

The Two Together
 
Othala paired with the reversed 8 of Wands is telling us to focus more on home life and family today.  This is a day to just put in our time at work, and to keep our focus on our loved ones.  After all, that is where we belong.
 
Blessings!
