To reveal the influences of our past, we have drawn the rune of Hagalaz, the rune of chaos. This is the ideal rune to display our past as it represents the construction of order within our lives arriving at this moment. The moment when the changes of our desires are beginning to take shape and inching us closer to inner-harmony and peace. This represents the portion of our lifetime that we have spent not understanding what it all meant. The time before our life’s purpose had been discovered. Our present influence is that of Sowilo, the rune of the soul. Our present is guided by the power of Sowilo, indicating that we are discovering our life’s purpose. We are initiating the action necessary to move us from the chaos of our past to that of order and understanding. Sowilo reveals that we are becoming whole, even if we don’t feel like it. While some of our existence may still seem to be chaotic and haphazard, the intrinsic infrastructure is being formed to move forward. To further reveal our future influences, we have drawn the rune of Tiwaz, and today the god of courage, Tyr issues us cautions moving into our future. Today the rune is cautioning us about over extending ourselves, trying to be too much to too many people at the same time. The rune represents righteousness and honor, however is in an inverted position indicating strongly that we need to focus on remaining honest with others, and with ourselves, to ensure we don’t succumb to mental-paralysis. To understand what influences we should retain, we have drawn the rune ihwaz, the divine feminine. In much the same way we maintain our physical bodies through sustenance, we must also ensure we are maintaining our emotional health as well. Ihwaz represents the Kundalini, or divine feminine, which encourages us to embrace an emotional intellect, to fulfill the intrinsic necessity of nurture, instead of nature. Educate those around us with velvet gloves instead of the iron fists.

Our present influence is that of Nauthiz, the rune of action or effort.

Today, as Raidho appears in an upright state, it represents the journey we have undertaken throughout our lives. From birth, we have been afforded experiences with a reality that has taught us lessons in our direction of travel. But a journey is just an observation until we begin to walk, there requires a level of action in which to engage different experiences that will continue our lessons in reality. Our present influence is that of Uruz, the rune of manifestation. Uruz represents the raw primal power that lies beneath our skin.

Uruz also indicates the arrival of luck in our life, with much of that pointing to a healthy lifetime.

This may reveal an understanding of our life’s purpose. To further reveal our future influences, we have drawn the rune of Tiwaz, the rune of the Norse god Tyr.

Like its namesake, the rune Tiwaz demonstrates the honor we have inside our decision matrix, and asks us to trust ourselves in making the right choice for our spiritual enlightenment.  To understand what influences we should retain, we have drawn the rune Isa, the rune of ice.

Tiwaz speaks about internalizing these lessons that we become that of honor, justice, equality, and faith.

With the rune of Kenaz within our future comes the energy of creation, combined with the energy of artistic releases, allowing our creativity to flow comfortably into a plethora of canvases.

The lessons we have learned need to be remembered and adhered to our future path. Our present influence is that of Ihwaz. Today the runes speak of us arriving at this understanding of the emotional expansion we are currently experiencing through the energy of the divine feminine that is sweeping through our lives. Harness this energy towards our future objectives, and initiate a movement toward your enlightenment. Use the energy to enlarge our consciousness to encompass more of the entirety of who we are. Embracing both our physical and spiritual parts to become whole. To further reveal our future influences, we have drawn the rune of Berkano, the rune of thought. Berkano displays for us the meanings behind all the lessons which will now lay the groundwork for the future path that lies ahead. Using these experiences to expand our wisdom, we can become aware of alterations to our trajectories we must make to better align our existence to what we know to our "authentic selves". We must embrace our own teachings to bring about the changes within our lives that we are wanting. To understand what influences we should retain, we have drawn the rune Wunjo and today it is in an inverted state, indicating caution. Wunjo speaks of wishful thinking and having the ability to draw upon the energy of hope, to create dreams of the future. Wunjo cautions us today to be sure that we retain some connection with the reality in which we exist. While the negative energies of the physical realm are limitless, so too are the positive energies, we must focus our attention on the steps that are physically necessary to get us from here to there.
