Rune of the Day: Perthro
 
 
The Universe is trying to share some of its secrets with you today; to give you some of its hidden knowledge. Take a chance on doing something new or unusual, if you feel particularly lucky go with that feeling to. The more attention you pay, the more you learn, the more blessings that will come your way.
 
Tarot Card of the Day: 2 of Pentacles Reversed
 
 
 
Try to stay focused on the positive today, on what might go well instead of on what might go wrong.  You may feel that the only way to avoid a financial problem is to never take a chance, to cling to what you have: the problem is that means you never have the opportunity for things to improve either. Remember that you attract what you focus on-focusing on potential problems only draws them to you.
 
The Two Together
 
The pairing of Perthro and the reversed 2 of Pentacles is telling us that we have to be open to luck and good fortune in order to receive them. It's all around us if we just look for it, but it will rarely come our way if we feel we don't deserve it, or that it just isn't possible to be lucky or blessed. The Universe is overflowing with blessings and wants to share them with us, we only have to be open to receiving them.
 
Blessings!

Rune of the Day: Tir
 
 
Today is definitely a big picture kind of day: a day when you have to look at what is best in the long run and do that, no matter how painful it may be short term.  Sometimes you really do have to be willing to make a sacrifice right now so that you can reach much greater heights down the road.
 
Tarot Card of the Day: 9 of Cups Reversed


It's easy to get so caught up in the everyday rat race that you don't take time to appreciate what you have, and the successes you've achieved.  Having goals is a wonderful and necessary thing, but don't get so focused on the next goal that you forget to enjoy the successes you've already achieved.  You worked hard for them, take time to enjoy them, no matter how big or small they may be.
 
The Two Together
 
Tir paired with the reversed 9 of Cups is telling us not to get so focused on our personal goals that we lose sight of the big picture.  Sometimes what's best for us individually, will hurt something bigger we are a part of: our family, community, even our workplace.  We need to consider our decisions carefully today, especially their long term effects on those things bigger than us.
 
Blessings!

Rune of the Day: Jera
 
 
 
 It takes time to reach your goals, especially the worthwhile ones.  It's essential to note the patterns in life, especially those that become apparent as you become closer to your goal.  You may find some things that hold you back, and others that help you. Break the patterns that are holding you down, and you will see your rewards grow.  Just remember, this is a process, not an overnight change.

Tarot Card of the Day: Hermit
 
 Take some down time today, some time to think about what you really want, and what works for you in life. Conversely, also realize what doesn't work for you and then start working on getting rid of what is dragging you down.  As you make more room, you can attract more of the things that are meaningful to you, more of the positive.

The Two Together
 
Jera paired with the Hermit is telling us that it is time to really get our lives in order; to reestablish our priorities and begin changing our lives to emphasize those priorities.  The pairing is also reminding us that this is not an instant change-it will take time, probably months, usually close to a year before we really have made the changes, and seen the results, that we need to.  Just think how much more awesome our lives will be once we've done this though!
 
Blessings!

Rune of the Day: Hagall
 
 
There are some changes on the horizon, some that may truly shake up your life.  Sometimes its only through disruption and adversity that things change so you can learn and grow.  Usually, the bigger the change, the more important the lesson you need to learn, the more extreme the adversity will be. 
 
Tarot Card of the Day: Strength Reversed
 
 
 Change is never easy and you may be more comfortable clinging to the familiar rather than making changes that you know would benefit you.  You may not be able to see how to get out of a difficult situation right now because you just can't fathom actually upsetting your life as much as you need to for things to change.  Remember that is your perspective, you are actually much stronger than you give yourself credit for.

The Two Together
 
Hagall paired with Strength reversed is usually a bit of a warning.  It's the Universe telling us that we need to make some changes in our lives, and if we don't do it soon, the Universe will step in and turn things upside down for us. People are naturally resistant to change, often even when it is change for the better, and sometimes we need that extra kick to get us in motion. The size of the changes we need to make, that'll be the size of the disruption sent our way if we don't take care of things ourselves.
 
Blessings!

Rune of the Day: Daeg
 
 
You have a new attitude today, a new outlook on life. Some things are suddenly much clearer to you, much easier to understand.  With this understanding comes a new feeling of security, a new certainty of your place in the world, and of your purpose.  Setting new goals is suddenly much easier, and these goals are much more attainable than your goals have been recently.
 
Tarot Card of the Day: 5 of Cups
 

 
It is time to let go of old emotional baggage that has been holding you back.  You can't move forward in life, and truly grow as a person, if you continue to cling to old beliefs, no matter how ingrained. Those old, but deeply held and often hidden,  beliefs of not being good enough, of not deserving this or that: those beliefs have to go. You can only go as far in life as you believe you can and deserve to go; now is the time to dump those beliefs that hold you back from being the best you can be.
 
The Two Together
 
The pairing of Daeg and the 5 of Cups is emphasizing to us that it is time to open our eyes and see things clearly; to get rid of old attitudes that are holding us back.  Often we have deep seated beliefs that if we looked at them objectively we would see that they no longer serve us, that they are holding us back. It is time to let go of those things that tell us we're not good enough, or we don't deserve something (happiness, success, whatever it may be).  Any belief that we can't or shouldn't do something, just because, without an underlying reason, needs to go.  We need to open ourselves up to believing that we deserve happiness and success and whatever else we want in life.  We deserve the chance to earn that for ourselves.
 
Blessings!

Rune of the Day: Nied
 
 
Everyone has obstacles in their life; some you can fight through, and some you just have to learn to live with. The ones confronting you today are ones that you need to learn to live with. Do not focus so much on what these constraints are that they become bigger in your mind than they are in reality.  Instead, focus on making the best of the hand that you have been dealt-how big an obstacle is really is a matter of perspective-don't lose yours.
 
Tarot Card of the Day: Judgment
 
 
Sometimes things work out in ways you'd never expect: everything goes your way even though you haven't put in much effort, or the opposite: everything goes wrong even though you have put your heart into the project.  Those are karmic outcomes-ones earned either earlier in this life, or in a past life.  Your karmic patterns are now coming to an end, and new pattens will be appearing-this change is inevitable, and may be challenging to deal with.  Face it with positivity, fighting these changes accomplishes nothing.
 
The Two Together
 
Nied paired with Judgment is telling us that some of the obstacles in our life are the payment we owe for karmic debts from the past.  These debts are now nearly paid off and soon will no longer be influencing our lives.  However, the longer we fight these obstacles, instead of accepting them and making the best of them, the longer it will take them to disappear.  We cannot truly expect karma to believe we've learned our lesson if we keep fighting our consequences.
 
Blessings!

Rune of the Day: Thurisaz Reversed
 
 
Things are moving along quickly today, just not in the way that you had hoped.  Although you are making progress, it feels like more work than it is worth.  Take a step back, and see if, just possibly, you are part of the problem.  Perhaps you're trying to do too much, or micromanaging.  Don't let your focus on your vision hold you back from letting others help, or maybe even make some necessary changes to your final goal.
 
Tarot Card of the Day: Lovers Reversed
 
 
Your relationship may be coming to an ending of sorts today; perhaps an actual ending or just moving on to a new level.  Communication is very important today: so often people have a vision of how their relationship should be and get upset when the other person does things that don't fit that ideal. You can't expect someone to live up to your expectations if you haven't told them what your expectations are!  Tell your partner what you want and need from them, you might be very surprised by how willing they are to make that happen.  Just remember, it's a two-way street: they also have expectations and a vision of what they want the relationship to be.
 
The Two Together
 
The pairing of Thurisaz and the Lovers, both reversed, is telling us that today is a day to let go of ego-to do what's best to reach our goals. This isn't always doing everything ourselves, or forcing everything to our own vision.  We need to share what we want and expect with other people, that helps them fulfill our expectations.  Of course, we also have to be willing to accept that others are not there just to serve us; they have their own ideas and visions and we need to incorporate these into our lives.  Working together with those in our lives we can do anything!
 
Blessings!
