Aries:
The Rune of Nied
Nied represents dealing with severe constraints, sometimes of
our own making. It can also symbolize
reality being clouded by your own worries and fears.
This will be a particularly trying time for Aries, who are
not known for their patience at the best of times! October is a time to take
things slowly, examine them carefully, and see what is really holding you back.
Although Aries usual tendency is to just force right through
any obstacles, Nied tries to teach you a lesson. Frequently it is patience, but
sometimes it is there to show you that you must let go of the things you have
been clinging to that hold you back.
Taurus:
The Rune of Thurisaz
Thurisaz is a rune of delay and of self-examination. It frequently means that any work done is not
going to be visible right away; sometimes what needs to be done is just to
create a barrier to chaos that will protect you in the future.
Taureans this is a good month to really evaluate yourself. Remember,
there is no gain without pain, so examine the good as well as the bad. Take what you can from your past, then bless
it and let it go.
Look at the good and the bad within yourself and decide what
you need to work on most. At the same
time, acknowledge and truly appreciate the good within yourself, and know that
by working on that which is less than ideal, you will help prevent future
problems.
Gemini:
The Rune of Ing
Ing is a rune of new beginnings, a new openness and a new
willingness to trust. This rune
frequently shows the possibility of a new relationship.
Freedom-loving Geminis frequently are so busy seeking
knowledge and adventure that relationships go by the wayside. They love their freedom and don’t want to be
stuck in any kind of routine.
Ing offers new beginnings and a release from a closed
state-especially where relationships are concerned. October just may offer some new relationship
possibilities that are different from the usual; perhaps someone willing to
embrace your need for variety.
Cancer:
The Rune of Dagaz
The Rune of Dagaz symbolizes an epiphany, a clarity born of
new understandings. Dagaz also
frequently represents security in one’s life.
For moody, frequently oversensitive Cancer, Dagaz represents
a month of almost emotional freedom. You
should be somewhat more empathetic than normal this October, with a real
clarity of understanding other’s feelings.
This understanding will help you avoid taking things so personally.
This will also be a month of things just going well for
Cancers, probably because not being as sensitive emotionally allows you to go
with the flow and enjoy life more.
Leo: The
Rune of Jera
Jera is the rune of perseverance, of finally obtaining a
well-earned reward. Success is
represented by Jera, but definitely not overnight success; this is a success
that has been a long time coming. However, it is also the rune that urges patience;
truly this rune’s motto could be ‘Good things come to those who wait’.
For energetic Leo, this month is a bit of a mixed
blessing. Those things you have been
working towards are finally happening, but probably not fast enough for you. (Of
course!)
By all means take credit for what you have worked for, and
know that you will eventually have the spectacular outcome you wanted. Try to
enjoy the rewards you are reaping this month, know that there is more to come,
just not on your timetable!
Virgo:
The Rune of Ing
Ing is a rune of new beginnings, a new openness and a new
willingness to trust. This rune
frequently shows the possibility of a new relationship.
For detail-oriented Virgo Ing is almost like a shot in the
arm. It represents a new energy, new
beginnings, especially in creative projects.
Ing also frequently represents a release of tension and
uncertainty; for Virgo this month that means all of your analysis and attention
to detail will finally pay off, most likely with the successful completion of
one project leading directly to your next endeavor.
Libra:
The Rune of Mannaz
The rune of Mannaz means cooperation, the collective good,
new career opportunities, and major growth.
All-in-all it’s looking like a good month for Libra! The value that you put on partnerships and
relationships will be especially important this month, when cooperation will
lead to new opportunities both on the job and on the personal front.
Just take the time to really reflect on any openings that
come your way this month, and make sure that they are really what you
want. It’s easy to get caught up in the
pretty wrapping, make sure there’s some substance to the choices you make.
Scorpio:
The Rune of Ansuz
The rune of Ansuz represents communication that sometimes
leads to new starts, information that changes your life, new paths, and is a
warning to expect the unexpected.
For Scorpio, who loves to take control and get to the bottom
of things, this rune signifies success in your quest for knowledge. It also means new starts to be made after you
have the knowledge, whether inner or outer, that you have been seeking.
It is most important, however, for oh-so-private Scorpio to
understand that this knowledge comes from communication, and communication is a
two-way street. Although you will find
the answers you have been looking for, you will have to share at least some of
yourself in the process.
Sagittarius:
The Rune of Sowelo
Sowelo is the rune of good fortune, success, warmth, enlightenment,
wholeness, vitality, even a possible relocation.
For travel-loving Sagittarius Sowelo is practically the ideal
rune. It bodes opportunities appearing
no matter where you may travel to, as well as acceptance upon your arrival in
almost any location. Indeed, with Sowelo’s
energy beside you, even failures produce new opportunities that can be very
successful.
Whatever ventures you’ve recently been working on, or
thinking about, now are the time to go full steam ahead. Even if something doesn’t work out, the very
failure will lead you to your next, more successful, adventure.
Capricorn:
The Rune of Tir
The rune of Tir represents sacrifice, sometimes
self-sacrifice, for the greater good, honor, justice, victory and balance.
Capricorn, while very hard-working is also willing to use anyone
and anything at hand to accomplish what they set out to do. Tir reminds you to make sure that these
sacrifices are for the good of all, not just the few.
This would be a good month for Capricorns to take an internal
inventory and to let go of whatever is holding you back, painful though that
parting may be. Tir wants to see you
succeed, but you must do what is right for the big picture to truly access its
energy.
Aquarius:
The Rune of Raidho
The Rune of Raidho signifies travel, communication, a union
or reunion. Raidho is all about the
journey, not the destination.
For Aquarians October is a good month to focus on removing
the obstacles in your path. Don’t worry
about where you’re going once they are removed, just focus on getting the
blockages out of your way. You are nearing your goals, but rushing at this time
could lead to a costly delay.
For relationships though, this is the time to make your
move. Reach out to that special someone,
and let them know how you feel. Raidho
is especially significant in reestablishing contact with those whom you’ve lost
touch. Call that old friend, or send flowers to your ex, you may just be
pleasantly surprised.
Pisces:
The Rune of Jera
Jera is the rune of perseverance, of finally obtaining a
well-earned reward. Success is
represented by Jera, but definitely not overnight success; this is a success
that has been a long time coming. However, it is also the rune that urges patience;
truly this rune’s motto could be ‘Good things come to those who wait’.
For sensitive Pisces, Jera brings the satisfaction of knowing
you have done enough, that your best really was more than good enough. Although
rewards may come slowly, you will see them coming this month.
The dreams you have been working towards begin to come to
fruition. Although it will take
perseverance and patience to finish obtaining them, Jera signifies that you are
well on your way.
