Rune of the Day: Eihwaz

Be flexible today while staying true to yourself.  Some relationships may need to end, or to be taken down a step or two in intensity.  It's always better to step back from things before they have a chance to drag you down.  Don't let understanding or sympathy stop you from doing what's best for you.
  
Tarot Card of the Day: Knight of Pentacles
You may feel like life has been overwhelming lately-take some time to regroup.  Regain your perspective on things, just don't become so focused on the things that haven't worked out that you don't try new things.  Take this time to plan what you want to do next in your life.
 
The Two Together
Eihwaz paired with the Knight of Pentacles is telling us that we can't let the things that go wrong in life hold us down.  It is fine to grieve for relationships that don't work out, for bad decisions that cost us, but we have to move on.  Hopefully what we learn from the things that don't work out will help us get out of negative situations sooner next time, or maybe even avoid them altogether.
 
Blessings!

Rune of the Day: Raidho
 
 
Focus on the path that you are taking today, don't worry so much about the destination.  You will get where you are going, but first you have a lot to learn and experience.  Keep your mind and your eyes open, what you learn on the way is more important than your goal.
 
Tarot Card of the Day: 3 of Pentacles
 
 
You take great pleasure in a job well done, and you should.  There is a big difference between pride in a job well done and conceit because you did that job.  Enjoy the talents that you have, use them often regardless of what others think or say.
 
The Two Together
 
Raidho paired with the 3 of Pentacles is telling us that we must keep trying when we don't reach our goals.  We need to focus on what doesn't work as much as what does, learn from both, and better both ourselves and our destination.  A master craftsman learns as much from his mistakes and from his successes-that's how he became a master-we must do the same with our lives.
 
Blessings!

Rune of the Day: Ansuz
Communication is very important today, really listen to what others have to say.  Try to keep an open mind when listening; filtering what they say through what you expect, or want, to hear can give you the wrong message.  Be open to thoughts and ideas that don't fit your world-view; they are the truth for someone else.
 
Tarot Card of the Day: 8 of Cups Reversed
 Sometimes we have to step away from the people and situations that are holding us back, no matter how painful that decision may be.  Right now you are clinging to the familiar even as you feel yourself sinking down.  The time to make a choice is fast approaching, something in your life is going to have to change no matter how little you want it to.

The Two Together

Ansuz paired with the reversed 8 of Cups is telling us to really listen to what those around us are saying.  No matter how much we want to cling to the familiar, the signs are there that things are changing.  Unfortunately, we're so busy holding onto what we have right now that we're not listening to the messages telling us to get out.  Open your mind, your heart, and your ears and really pay attention to what's going on around you.
 
Blessings!

Rune of the Day: Mannaz
 
 
Take some today to help out those around you.  We are all interconnected on so many levels, and we often forget that.  Remembering it, and really focusing on it, opens up all kinds of new possibilities for us.
 
Tarot Card of the Day: Queen of Pentacles
 
 
You have a wonderful sense of accomplishment and purpose today, you are truly aware of how far you have come in life, especially in financial matters.  Take care not to become so worried about money. or about reaching a specific goal, that you deny yourself the things that give you joy.  Being frugal is a good idea, but there is nothing wrong with the occasional indulgence.
 
The Two Together
 
Mannaz paired with the Queen of Pentacles is reminding us that no matter how far we have come in life we had help getting there.  Whether it was someone mentoring us, helping us financially, or just being there for us, we had help.  Return the favor, and help someone else out, even if its just with a smile and a nod of encouragement to someone who looks at the end of their rope.  That may be all they need to brighten their day!
 
Blessings!

Rune of the Day: Jera
 
 
Don't expect to make a lot of progress on anything today, but do expect to make some progress.  Things will happen in their own time, not on your schedule.  Patience is absolutely necessary to reach the outcome that you want, and that is meant to be.
 
Tarot Card of the Day: Strength

 
Know that you can not only handle whatever comes your way today, but that you can actually tame it.  You are made not so much made stronger by adversity as made more aware of how strong you truly are.  Take that hard won knowledge at go after what you really want.
 
The Two Together
 
Jera paired with Strength is reminding us that brute force, or force of will alone is not always enough to change things; sometimes patience is needed also.  The changes that need to happen will occur, but some of those changes happen more slowly than others.
 
Blessings!

Rune of the Day: Hagall
 
 
  1. Sometimes it feels like the Universe just jumped up and slapped you in the face-today is one of those days.  Everything seems kind of upside down and not in a fun way.  This kind of house cleaning is essential right now and long overdue.  Know that once the dust has settled you will be stronger and in a better place-it just may take some time to realize that.
 
Tarot Card of the Day: King of Wands
 
 
You are very focused on where you want to end up, on what you want to accomplish.  Perhaps a little too focused, just because someone doesn't share your priorities that doesn't mean that they don't want you to succeed.  Try to remember that everyone has their own agenda and not to take it personally when yours and theirs are not the same.
 
The Two Together
 
Hagall paired with the King of Wands is reminding us that sometimes our plans are just not meant to be, no matter how much we want, or how hard we have worked, to make them come to fruition.  Sometimes being too single-minded can be the thing that sabotages us, and leads the Universe to give us that big wake up call. Find a balance in what is happening today, and know that you will get through it.
 
Blessings!

Rune of the Day: Kenaz
 
 
You want to learn all you can about someone and how they really feel today.  You may feel like spying on them will give you the answers that you are looking for, but before you do that be sure you want to deal with the consequences if you are caught.
 
Tarot Card of the Day: 10 of Cups Reversed
 
 
 People may not be as honest with you as you would like right now, especially those close to you.  Try not to jump to conclusions, they may just want to work some things out on their own that really have little or nothing to do with you.

The Two Together
 
Kenaz and the 10 of Cups reversed today are both speaking of the people around us.  Specifically of things we feel they may be hiding from us.  Its important to remember that not everything has to be shared, and not all things that people don't talk about are our business.  Be supportive, not suspicious, it will get you much farther along in getting people to open up to you.
 
Blessings!
