General Astrological Insights

You may take a back seat or a secondary role to one that involves leadership at work this week. At home, however, partnership and family are important at the beginning of the week, and you’re motivated to take care of their needs. As the week continues, security and comfort are important, as is a practical approach to managing resources. Stay disciplined and focused, and avoid becoming controlling.

Midweek, you may struggle to apply lessons you’ve learned. That said, you’re still motivated to achieve your goals by balancing your routine with exploring new ideas and opportunities.

Overall, you may want to reflect on how you assert yourself as well as the expectations you have of partners, friends, family, or co-workers, and how you deal with challenges without becoming frustrated or angry.

Daily Readings

Sunday, 30 August 2026

Although you may want to work independently today, or you just want some time to yourself, you may need to resolve yourself to the fact that you may be needed by others. Instead of struggling, whatever ideas you had may need to be set aside for the moment. In other words, put your commitments aside, and just go with the flow.

For the magickally inclined: Study the rune Raidho ᚱ, essentially a bindrune, and consider the runes within its structure that help determine its overall meaning of integration, harmony, process over the goal, and soul journey. Isa ᛁ provides Raidho’s structure on the left side with its strong focus, alignment in Spirit, and will development. Next, Wunjo ᚹ is visible, adding harmony, fellowship, and success to Raidho. Within Wunjo and the remaining line, you can see Kenaz ᚲ forward and reversed, with an additional one that’s skewed at the bottom of the rune. Kenaz is the torch, or the light of Spirit, illumination, clarity, revelation, intuition, and transformation. When you understand the runic energies that comprise the majority of runes in the Elder Futhark, you can not only gain insight into each rune, but also understand how bindrunes are created in rune magick.

Influences: Universal numerology/Day: 3/3; Runes: Raidho, Via; Tarot: 10of Wands; Human Design Gate/Line 40.2 Resoluteness

Monday, 31 August 2026

You experience an intuitive bond with others, and your awareness rises above ego-centered interactions to see a different truth. You enjoy harmony and the reciprocity it brings, preferring that to conflict or discord. With harmony as a foundation, you can meet the challenges that partnership may bring today without the situation devolving into chaos.

For the magickally inclined: Study Ehwaz ᛖ along with The Lovers card from the Major Arcana. Both involve partnership, binding together for a mutual end, relationships, integration, and self in others. While Ehwaz unites Laguz forward and reverse to create a vessel for higher consciousness to infuse the unity with Kenaz, The Lovers adds discrimination, choice, and duality to the mix. Even though The Lovers card may seem to be a more Earthly presentation, the angel above the two people acts in much the same way the V shape of Kenaz does in the center of Ehwaz. It’s a vessel or well for divine presence to flow into and through your relationships with others.

Influences: Universal numerology/Day: 6/6; Runes: Uruz, Laetitia; Tarot: 8 of Pentacles; Human Design Gate/Line: 51.6 Separation

Tuesday, 1 September 2026

Before you insist on or obsess over a specific outcome today, take time to do your due diligence so you can see the situation from a higher perspective. Although you may feel compelled to make a decision, you don’t want to micromanage the result. Instead, try to take a more balanced approach and welcome any input that others have to offer.

For the magickally inclined: The rune Jera ᛃ is created by Kenaz forward and reversed. The upper expression of Kenaz forward expresses the light of Spirit, creativity, clarity, revelation, and healing. Its transformative energy awakens and heals. Reversed, you draw that same higher awareness into your own. Jera, then, involves give-and-take, transformation, and balanced energetic alignment between you and others. It also represents fertility; its keyword is year, and it can be useful in gardening. But as you can see, the basis for Jera is awakening and enlightenment from higher awareness. 

Influences: Universal numerology/Day: 11/1; Runes: Jera, Fortuna Major; Tarot: The Hierophant; Human Design Gate/Line: 39.5 Single-mindedness (detriment)

Wednesday, 2 September 2026

People trust you because you collaborate well, offer optimism, and embrace shared values and harmony in your interactions. That’s why you may be successful today when gathering everyone together to make some significant changes to a shared process. The discussion could also herald a new way of doing things, so step up and get everyone moving in a new direction.

For the magickally inclined: The 2 cards from the Minor Arcana in the Rider-Waite Tarot, from a numerology perspective, are about decisions, balance, reciprocity, and cause/effect. In the case of the 2 of Pentacles, we see a juggler who juggles life decisions that involve material security. The 2 of Pentacles implies change, harmony, and inner balance that ultimately integrate to decide something after weighing each option. It’s a good card to study when making your own decisions.  

Influences: Universal numerology/Day: 3/2; Runes: Hagalaz, Caput Draconis; Tarot: Temperance; Human Design Gate/Line: 64.5 Promise

Thursday, 3 September 2026

You may need both patience and imagination today to deal with a situation that not everyone is in agreement with. Although it’s nice when people are in harmony, there may be some who simply don’t agree on what’s happening or what the outcome should be. Tempers could flare, and it may be up to you to make it clear that their positions are as valuable as the rest of the group. You might stress to the group that it’s best to initially focus on the details to achieve some level of agreement before looking for solutions. However, at some point, some in the group may need to agree to disagree when the final decision is made.

For the magickally inclined. It can be difficult to deal with people who are angry about a situation or who want to push their solutions onto the group. If you’re in a leadership position, you may need to keep people focused, and carrying the Queen of Wands with you to refer to may help you if you’re in a leadership role. She is a talented and successful older woman in authority who is both strict and generous. Although she is adaptable, she also creates a powerful presence whose steadiness keeps people on track. This Queen may provide just the attitude you need when dealing with others. 

Influences: Universal numerology/Day: 4/3; Runes: Wunjo, Rubeus; Tarot: Queen of Wands; Human Design Gate/Line: 7.2 The democrat

Friday, 4 September 2026

Avoid overreaction today that could impact a positive outcome. Someone with a personal agenda or narrow vision may offer a solution that may seem fine on the surface, but underneath, it’s worth nothing. Although it’s to your advantage to adapt to change, the change that person may be suggesting will not be in your best interest. Stay focused and aware of the game that’s likely being played.

For the magickally inclined: Dealing with people who undermine others or try to control in a way that serves only them can be difficult. Invoking Isa, Hagalaz, and Nauthiz, the three Norn runes, either together as a bindrune or individually, can help you stay focused and access the stillness within to control your reactions. Isa represents will development, focus, and alignment in higher consciousness. Hagalaz helps protect you and transform a situation without disrupting your boundaries. Nauthiz invokes the inner will to manifest your goals, provide protection, and create positive change. When dealing with someone who tries to impose their will on others, considering the three Norn runes, whether softly chanting them or invoking their energy, can help you achieve a better outcome.

Influences: Universal numerology/Day: 5/4; Runes: Isa, Rubeus; Tarot: 6 of Pentacles; Human Design Gate/Line: 32.6 Tranquillity

Saturday, 5 September 2026

When asserting yourself today, do so without emotion. Others may see it as a weak point and take advantage of the situation. Remain as objective as possible so your ego doesn’t get the better of you. Ask for assistance if necessary.

For the magickally inclined: The Devil card in the Major Arcana represents being a slave to desire, and preferring ego over higher consciousness. It represents greed, self-imprisonment, control, and is a negative influence. When considering your reactions, do they take a higher perspective into account, or does ego simply drive them? Studying the various interpretations for The Devil can provide insight into that question.

Influences: Universal numerology/Day: 6/5; Runes: Inguz, Fortuna Minor; Tarot: The Devil; Human Design Gate/Line 21.5 Objectivity

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
