The Runes for this week are Ing & Tyr, together these Rune suggest that this is a week where many will find themselves preparing for a new beginning in one or more areas of life. To this end it will be important to wrap up the loose ends of old and outgrown ways of being and to free yourself from ruts and habits which you have unconsciously slipped into, which limit you from achieving your goals, aims and ambitions.

Dear Rune Blog Readers,

Before I make a start on the Blog for the week commencing 19th July 2009, I feel I owe you an apology for the lack of a Rune Blog for last week.

For those of you that know me last week was one heck of a week... in the nicest possible way. My daughter turned 21, and I also had my University Greaduation, and that was on top of the normal day-to-day routines of running my business, various bits of future projects planning, meetings and running a home and family.

For those of you out there with busy lives I am sure you will understand that there are a limited number of hours in a day and only so much that one person can do, no matter you organised they are, or how good they might be at multi-tasking.

I hope you all had an excellent week last week, and that inspite of my publishing lapse last week that you will continue to come back to my blog to read what the Runes suggest that life has in sort for you on a weekly basis.

Wishing you all the very best in everything.

Anna

The Rune for this week is Eolh; which suggests that this week will be a week of transitions and shifts in your life course and it is further implied that you will experience an acceleration in development in at least one area of your life experience.

It is implied that this will be a week where you will be confronted with new opportunities and challenges. You are cautioned against holding onto unwanted influences as a means to preventing yourself from tripping yourself up!

It will be important to keep a bit of an open-space around yourself. To be forewarned is to be forearmed, therefore it is important that you keep yourself focused and aware.

You are once again reminded that 'correct conduct' and 'timely action' is your only true protection this week.

For some this week could be a somewhat painful week (those whom are having difficulty in identifying the 'unwanted influences' in life) Should you find yourself experiencing pain of one sort or another, it is vital that you do not try to escape it! Don't deny what is happening... Work with it and examine your role in the situation and learn, so that you don't get tripped up in the same manner again.

Finally it is important for all to control emotions - while on the one hand your emotions can be your strength, it is implied that on a level your emotions could be used against you this week; turning your strength into a weakness if you are not controlled and careful.

The Rune for this week is Beorc Reversed. As Beorc in both it's upright and reversed positioning is a 'Cycle Rune' and as we know, Cycle Runes focus on those inner mechanisms for self change.

In terms of the week itself, events and or aspects of character are likely to interfere with your growth and progress; and for some there is a risk that you may take 'wrong action' in one way or another.  It is also a week where you could learn a lot about yourself and the ways your emotions can be used against you to trip you up.

Diligence is called for: Examine what happens and your role in it.

You are advised to strip away from within to identify the blockages which you cause yourself.  It is important to be aware that some of the blockages will have their roots in your childhood experiences and your developmental programming.

One of the important things to note about this week is that it is likely a degree of reviewing and refertilising will need to be undertaken. Trust that with correct preparation growth is assured.

As a final note: Check your motives and make sure that they are not misplaced!
