General Astrological Insights

Over the course of the week, you take a measured and diligent approach to analyzing the patterns you see. You decide what is spiritually important and have the discipline to incorporate that into your life. However, midweek, conflict may arise between you and someone in authority. In addition, your values may not align with a partner’s, and you struggle to find common ground. You may also feel frustrated when your goals aren’t met, or you fixate on ideas or beliefs not shared by others. 

Daily Readings

Sunday, 7 June 2026

After much consideration and reflection, you may experience a change today that arises from a shift in perception. You may embrace a more spiritual perspective or become more conscientious and reliable. This transformation brings clarity to areas in your life that have been challenging to fully understand, as well as a more positive attitude.

For the magickally inclined: Kenaz ᚲ is a rune from the Elder Futhark that is also visible in many of the runes in that set. On its own, however, Kenaz represents the torch that brings light to your perceptions, beliefs, and choices. It illuminates the ego’s hold, fosters healing and well-being, and awakens creativity within. Its directionality demonstrates the flow of Higher awareness into your physical awareness, as well as expressing the same outward to others. When reflecting upon or reexamining an issue, belief, etc., holding Kenaz or drawing it over your 3rd eye, for example, can help utilize the power of Kenaz to invoke higher clarity to help you see a situation more clearly.

Influences: Universal numerology/Day: 5/7; Runes: Kenaz, Laetitia; Tarot: Page of Pentacles; Human Design Gate/Line 35.6 Rectification

Monday, 8 June 2026

Your intuition may caution you to change course due to unexpected circumstances. You understand that to control your fate, you need to release any self-imposed restrictions that prevent you from seeking support from others. The real challenge is likely not so much the course correction, but the inner battle that interferes with a positive outcome.

For the magickally inclined: The directionality of Perthro ᛈ can give insight into analyzing a challenging situation. When drawn from the bag pointed to the right, Perthro’s forward position may be suggesting you’re preventing yourself from moving forward. To the left, something from the past (i.e., a situation, experience, or long-held belief) may be interfering or complicating your understanding. Open downward, Perthro might single the need to understand further what grounds you or how you manifest something. Open upward, Perthro may be asking if you’re getting your information from the right source.

Influences: Universal numerology/Day: 6/8; Runes: Perthro, Carcer; Tarot: 9 fo Wands; Human Design Gate/Line: 22.4 Sensitivity

Tuesday, 9 June 2026

Concern over what’s unknown should make you observe rather than respond in haste today. Keeping your own counsel allows you to reveal only what’s necessary without giving too much away or sacrificing your beliefs or ideals. Seeking guidance from an authority figure or wise mentor to help see the situation from a more realistic perspective may be appropriate before responding further.

For the magickally inclined: Meditating on Tiwaz ᛏ and the King of Wands may help when you need to rise to the occasion, or demonstrate leadership, without appearing controlling or manipulative. Both Tiwaz and the King of Wands describe a warrior ethos with justice, tolerance, and wisdom guiding your decisions and interactions. Meditating on both can influence a positive outcome while setting a higher standard.

Influences: Universal numerology/Day: 7/9; Runes: Tiwaz, Via; Tarot: King of Wands; Human Design Gate/Line: 2.4 Secretiveness (detriment)

Wednesday, 10 June 2026

Stay focused today, and find a way to bypass challenges or obstacles that can be dealt with later if necessary. You have the framework you need to continue on; however, you may need to reinforce boundaries should someone attempt to take over or undermine your efforts. Maintain a positive attitude, prioritize what needs to happen first, and go from there.

For the magickally inclined: Hagalaz ᚺ, the ninth rune from the Elder Futhark is considered a Norn and witch rune that calls for restructuring within established boundaries. The keyword for Hagalaz is hail, which can cause much destruction and, after it melts, leave no evidence of its presence. Shifting perceptions, either your own or those of others, can be influenced by the energy of Hagalaz, especially during influence or trance workings. Visualizing yourself within the structure of the rune, Hagalaz can act as a protective frame to preserve your values and principles while letting go of perceptions or behaviors that are unreal or no longer relevant. Note: always consider the shape of the runes when you’re working with them, and what they evoke within you.

Influences: Universal numerology/Day: 8/1; Runes: Hagalaz, Laetitia; Tarot: 10 of Wands; Human Design Gate/Line: 39.5 Single-mindedness

Thursday, 11 June 2026

Remaining self-disciplined today will help you pay close attention to details you might otherwise miss. Set aside any unrealistic notions that could impact or delay reaching your objective. Your intuition is strong, and the harmony you have built with partners can help keep you on track.

For the magickally inclined: Raidho ᚱ, the fifth rune from the Elder Futhark, helps you focus on the now of things. It helps you consider the process over the goal, and the integration necessary to bring a project or joint endeavor to a successful conclusion. If your focus is off, carry Raidho within you in some fashion to draw in its energy. When considering Raidho, visualize it as a rider and his/her horse and how the two move in rhythm and harmony with each other. It’s the same sort of rhythm necessary when collaborating or integrating with others to achieve a specific objective. Wear the rune or carry it with you, especially when integration becomes challenging.

Influences: Universal numerology/Day: 9/11; Runes: Raidho, Laetitia; Tarot: 7 of Cups; Human Design Gate/Line 62.6 Self-discipline

Friday, 12 June 2026

It’s easy to isolate yourself when you feel opposition from others. However, if you make that choice, your talents and unique ideas aren’t expressed. Your ability to cut through the nonsense may not sit well with the louder voices in the room, but that’s their problem. Your power lies in the bonds you create with others and the truth that you’re motivated to tell. Allow no one to prevent your light from shining. 

For the magickally inclined: The Aces in the Rider Waite Tarot are said to contain all the energy of the suit they represent. One way to study the Minor Arcana is to take each Ace and put them on a table and compare the elemental energy that’s presented between the four cards/suits. From there, you can place the other cards 2 through 10 under each Ace card and see how each small card flows from one to the next. With the Ace of Swords, for example, it invokes Elemental Air, and new ideas, brilliance, clarity, balance, justice, and truth versus deception. Looking at each card in the suit, you can see how they begin with the 2 at reunion, love, and healing, all the way to the 10 of Swords, where you turn your face to the light as you let go of perceptions and beliefs that are of no further value. Looking at how the cards tell a story in the suit of Swords of how you express yourself, see yourself, and heal your mind can be most valuable.

Influences: Universal numerology/Day: 1/3; Runes: Ehwaz, Puella; Tarot: Ace of Swords; Human Design Gate/Line: 56.3 Alienation

Saturday, 13 June 2026

Today’s reading may be a continuation of yesterday’s with a new outlook guiding your response to someone who tries to oppose or undermine you. You now have a better understanding of the individual’s motivation, and the support you’re receiving from others helps you maintain a better emotional balance. Today, you awaken to a new feeling of grounding and the ability to offer your own ideas and speak your truth.

For the magickally inclined: One method of cleansing your mind, body, and Spirit is to visualize the rune, Laguz ᛚ, drawing in light with the intention of cleansing and purifying your own energy. Laguz can be visualized as a magickal hook that helps dissolve harmful energy from others that has attached to you. From there, you use Laguz to draw back any energy that belongs only to you into your overall awareness. See it spinning around you, cocooning you in a bubble of light. Feel that light vibrate and see all the darkness that surrounds you disappearing and no longer affecting you. When you feel the cleansing process is complete, sit a little longer in that higher energy and end the visualization when ready.

Influences: Universal numerology/Day: 4/6; Runes: Gebo, Rubeus; Tarot: 2 of Wands Human Design Gate/Line 21.4 Strategy

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
