General Astrological Insights

Throughout the week, your emotions may be at odds with your will. A situation at the beginning of the week may not be as clear as you would like, and taking a step back to understand the situation more fully may be necessary. Tension may increase between you and a partner, and you may be tempted to respond impulsively. As the week continues, you collaborate with others during this period by sharing ideas, making plans, and examining new perspectives and insights. You also provide unique solutions if problems arise. At the end of the week, you may need to reexamine the boundaries you set with others so that your expectations are more realistic.

Daily Readings

Sunday, 28 June 2026

Although you may feel like responding impulsively today, it’s likely better to exercise restraint and observe longer to gain a better understanding of the situation. Demand the truth and don’t permit someone else to obfuscate, and avoid overreacting so you can control your temper. Your keen perception and intuition will tell you what’s true, and if it impacts an existing relationship, maybe it’s time for a difficult but necessary conversation.

For the magickally inclined: The rune, Ehwaz ᛖ, from the Elder Futhark, describes the intuitive bond we share with others. It also involves change, momentum, partnership, and relationships. When meditating, Ehwaz can be visualized as a door into the astral realm. Comprised of Laguz ᛚ forward and reversed, with Kenaz ᚲ turned upward in its center, those runes provide the foundation for higher consciousness to flow into physical awareness and reality. Ehwaz can be considered when determining how well you flow in relation to others. If ego gets in the way, that flow is inhibited or prevented from reaching your overall awareness and perceptions. There is also a feeling of “meeting in the middle” with Ehwaz, and that idea may be helpful when considering how balanced the relationship is or is not.

Influences: Universal numerology/Day: 8/1; Runes: Ehwaz, Rubeus; Tarot: Queen of Swords; Human Design Gate/Line 52.4 Self-discipline

Monday, 29 June 2026

You set an example of stability and groundedness for others to follow today. Your integrity and generosity of spirit also provide the support necessary for trust to build. If a new opportunity is being pursued, whether at work or in your personal life, overconfidence on your or another person’s part could unexpectedly impact your efforts, and it may be up to you to get things back on track and protect the progress you’ve made thus far.

For the magickally inclined: The Ace of Pentacles can be a valuable tool to remind you to stay grounded. The rune, Othala ᛟ, can show you the result of those efforts. The Ace of Pentacles, like Othala, demonstrates the manifestation of wealth and material security. Othala is comprised of Kenaz ᚲ in all directions. The Norn rune, Isa ᛁ, can also be seen throughout the rune, along with Inguz ᛜ in the upper half, and Gebo ᚷ in the lower half. Inguz concentrates energy inward, and then Gebo expresses that concentrated outward into manifestation, all to create the sacred space in which you exist. Within that sacred space you’ve created, you place your traditions, prosperity, and peace. To build that, however, you must stay focused. The message of the Ace of Pentacles reinforces that truth.

Influences: Universal numerology/Day: 9/11; Runes: Othala, Acquisitio; Tarot: Ace of Pentacles; Human Design Gate/Line: 10.6 The role model 

Tuesday, 30 June 2026

Engaging in dogmatic beliefs limits fundamental awareness, and it binds you to lower vibrational thinking that’s reinforced by others with a similar mindset. Although it may take courage to consider other ideas, in the long run, you will find it easier to separate yourself from beliefs that only hold you back from achieving your goals and prevent you from being positive and optimistic. Plus, the potential to engage with others who lift you higher becomes possible.

For the magickally inclined: Studying each suit in the Minor Arcana is a valuable effort. The suit of Cups reflects Elemental Water and our emotions, compassion, love, fertility, change, imagination, dreams, and the subconscious realm. The 6 of Cups provides insight into abundance, friendship, reciprocity, the offering of gifts given and received, purity, and happiness. Studying the 6 of Cups can help you consider how you express its meaning in your life.

Influences: Universal numerology/Day: 1/3; Runes: Ehwaz, Laetitita; Tarot: 6 of Cups; Human Design Gate/Line: 20.2 The dogmatist

Wednesday, 1 July 2026

You’ll need to focus on details today without compromising your understanding of the overall picture, especially if a project or task is coming to an end. Otherwise, your impulsiveness may be your own worst enemy and may interfere with moving on to other things, or may send a message to others in authority (including clients) that you’re not at the top of your game.

For the magickally inclined: The rune, Thurisaz ᚦ, also known as Thor’s rune, resembles a thorn that can either indicate your own internal issues that get in the way of progress, or outside issues that thwart your efforts. It can be chanted or kept on or near you to bring truth to bear. Its keyword is the thorn, and it makes its presence known by its ability to reveal opposition and impulsive behavior, again, whether coming from within you or from external forces. Once you identify where the interference is coming from, Thurisaz can help you break through the impasse to help you continue on or begin anew.

Influences: Universal numerology/Day: 9/1; Runes: Thurisaz, Albus; Tarot: 5 of Pentacles; Human Design Gate/Line: 62.6 Self-discipline (exalted and in detriment)

Thursday, 2 July 2026

Your innovative and unique ideas attract attention from others today, either from authority figures or from others who wish to collaborate with you. It’s clear that you shape your ideas and experiences; however, you may benefit from a more disciplined approach.

For the magickally inclined: Carrying fluorite or hematite with you may help keep your thoughts focused and grounded. Fluorite’s presence next to you when you’re writing, for example, may help you organize your thoughts, while hematite’s presence can help you avoid overthinking or getting lost in your thoughts. Creating a small grid with both crystals next to you on a table may act as a focus of its own to get you back on track.

Influences: Universal numerology/Day: 1/2; Runes: Uruz, PUella; Tarot: 4 of Pentacles; Human Design Gate/Line 56.5 Attracting Attention

Friday, 3 July 2026

If you are in the midst of extreme sadness or grief today, you may be unable to engage with others positively, especially if the situation you’re upset about involves betrayal. When trust has been shaken or broken, you may not be able to see other areas of your life realistically, or you may try to draw others into the drama that they have nothing to do with. Experiencing a betrayal can be life-changing. So, before things get any worse, share how you’re feeling with someone you trust. Sometimes, just letting your feelings out can reduce some of the burden you’re experiencing, and if you need more than that, a counselor or other professional may be something to consider.

For the magickally inclined: Experiencing betrayal can leave one unable to move forward. One way to deal with it is to use the rune, Fehu ᚠ, to empower you to break through the confusion and grief, and get back to creating new opportunities and experiences. Fehu describes wealth and abundance, but it also involves manifesting growth and success. Although you may feel wounded by the experience, the betrayal can serve as a catalyst for moving in a new direction, with Fehu providing the internal energy to do so. Meditate on its value, carry it with you in some fashion, and cast your intention for a new future.

Influences: Universal numerology/Day: 11/3; Runes: Fehu, Tristitia; Tarot: 3 of Swords; Human Design Gate/Line: 4.5 Seduction

Saturday, 4 July 2026

If a situation or task isn’t going the way you want today, you may need to evaluate if you’re on the right track or if a completely new direction is necessary. You could be stuck in a set of beliefs that aren’t going to get you where you need to go, and it’s time to let go and consider the situation or task from a new perspective. You may have to tame the wild within, so to speak, to gain better control over what you wish to achieve.

For the magickally inclined: When you’re getting in the way of accomplishing something, place Dagaz ᛞ at the top of the Strength card from the Major Arcana. Dagaz suggests the end of one phase and the beginning of a new one, while the Strength card suggests taming the wild within and loving that side of self. When you consider both the rune and card together, you’re choosing to control your impulses so they don’t interfere with your success. Accepting who you are is part of that process.

Influences: Universal numerology/Day: 3/4; Runes: Dagaz, Via; Tarot: Strength; Human Design Gate/Line 21.6 Chaos

Special Note: Unapproved Use of My Work

So, once again, another website is posting my work from Stepping Aside. This is upsetting, and although I understand that there are people out there who do this because it’s been done to me before, it’s completely unacceptable. My website has been up since 2012, and I’ve worked incredibly hard to publish work that I believe others might be interested in. I tried to contact the website in question, but the email address doesn’t appear to be valid. So, I’m doing what I can to deal with it. ~ Jan Erickson
