Today’s Runes for September 27th is Ehwaz

Today’s Runes

Spirit Runes are most commonly used for questions about mysticism, spirituality, and religion. Ehwaz is the rune of the eight-legged horse that the god Odin rode into battle. Horses are symbolic of a number of things. Firstly, horses may symbolize vehicles such as cars, motorcycles, planes, or boats. Secondly, horses may symbolize not wealth, but status. Thirdly, horses may symbolize motion towards an objective. As such, this rune suggests a journey or a quest to achieve a goal or improve one’s station in life. On a deeper level, the rune Ehwaz evokes the unique relationship of horse and rider as an inseparable team. To the modern eye this may be the relationship of master and underling, but to the Norse it was a total union. In fact, early representations of Odin are not of a man and a horse, but, of a centaur-like creature – the ultimate symbiosis of Man and Nature.

Today’s Tarot Card for September 27th is The Anchoret

The Anchoret

This Tarot Deck: Cagliostro

General Meaning: The challenge of what has traditionally been known as the Hermit card is to be able to recognize a teacher in a humble disguise. This font of mysterious knowledge will not make it easy for the student to acquire his wisdom, as it takes time and long contemplation to fathom what he knows. He often speaks wordlessly, or in ancient and barbaric tongues, communicating with the elements, animals and Nature herself.

While the hourglass was an identifying feature on the earliest Hermit cards, more modern ones have shifted the metaphor, showing more or less light released from his lantern. In either case, the Hermit card reminds us of the value of time away from the hubbub of civic life, to relax the ego in communion with Nature.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, Sept. 27th

The Moon’s shift into socially astute Libra at 12:50 am EDT places relationships under the spotlight. The New Moon at 7:08 am marks a turning point as we consider what’s negotiable and how to get along better with others. However, the pile-up of five planets in easygoing Libra now might take us by surprise as harsh lunar aspects reinforce mental Mercury’s tense opposition to rebellious Uranus and Mars’ uneasy quincunx to ominous Pluto.

Walking down Memory Lane isn’t a new experience, yet today it raises significant issues that you have already considered. Luckily, you can manage your emotions in order to avoid a difficult situation. Nevertheless, don’t get lost in your nostalgic meanderings.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you would like to believe that you know what’s best for you now, it’s still necessary to take enough time to consider the wishes of those around you. Even if you are trying to demonstrate your independence, it’s difficult to set your schedule today before you talk with others in your group. Once you know more about their needs, you’ll be able to better determine your agenda for the day.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You must make a decision about money today, but your options aren’t as definitive as you wish. Unfortunately, the indecisive Libra New Moon in your 2nd House of Finances makes it difficult to get the perspective you were seeking. You may go back and forth without being able to choose, but nothing positive will stem from being too hard on yourself. Wait a few days before completely committing one way or the other.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Today’s New Moon in your sign signals a sudden break from your past if you are ready to place your new intentions into action. But first you must express your desires clearly enough so they can have the impact you desire. Channeling your ideas into practical goals can get you going, but enthusiasm isn’t the only thing that counts. There’s no getting around that you must follow through with perseverance and good old-fashioned hard work.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Although you’re usually able to keep a secret at any cost, a particular issue could be the source of trouble today. You really want to tell someone everything you know because you believe it will increase your intimacy. Unfortunately, you could go against your promise and spill the beans. But your confidence might be low and you could feel as if whatever you do will turn out wrong. Postpone your conversation until later in the day, when you will have more objectivity at your disposal.

Today’s Libra New Moon falls in your 10th House of Public Responsibilities, stirring your ambitions and reminding you of all that you have accomplished. But there still may be more for you to do before starting a new project. Consider the pros and cons of taking on more work prior to saying yes on a job that could leave you exhausted. Creating a healthy balance between work and play is ultimately more fulfilling.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You have an opportunity to expand your horizons now by investigating an exciting and innovative idea.

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might feel like others are being tougher on you than usual this week, but the point is to force you to be clear about your expectations in relationships.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

The adventurous Sagittarius Moon lights up your 7th House of Partners this weekend, inspiring you to test your flirtatious charms on someone special. However, there may be a tendency to promise more than you can deliver or an urge to commit to an overly optimistic person. If the relationship is solid, making big plans together is reasonable; but if you’re uncertain for any reason, don’t let your enthusiasm drown out your common sense.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

The carefree Sagittarius Moon is in your 3rd House of Communication, which can turn a walk around the block into an exotic outing.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The mood-setting Moon rockets into your adventurous sign late on Friday to set your emotions on fire this weekend. Every moment can seem larger than life, creating higher highs and also dramatizing the lows. It’s healthy to recognize when your reactions are out of sync with reality. Still, you’re unlikely to go unnoticed when your personality is popping like champagne corks on New Year’s Eve. Make the most of the spotlight, but try not to take yourself too seriously in the process.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Getting as far away from your usual routine as possible is a smart move this weekend while the restless Sagittarius Moon is camping out in your 12th House of Retreats. Whether you just cut yourself off from the rest of the world to find the peace you seek or embark on an adventure in a strange environment, change is a good thing. Just be very discreet about who you’re with and what you say since secrets have a tendency to leak and cause their own brand of trouble.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Hanging out with pals or working within a group should suit you perfectly this weekend. The visionary Sagittarius Moon is in your 11th House of Community, kicking your idealistic principles up another level. The best chance for meeting someone special is when you’re out helping others, or you can strengthen an existing bond while contributing to a worthy cause. Combining personal pleasure with charitable work is a win-win proposition.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The optimistic Sagittarius Moon’s presence in your 10th House of Public Responsibility could put you on the spot this weekend. Others are looking to you for leadership, which gives you a perfect chance to show how much you care. But spending so much time and energy encouraging and guiding your colleagues could leave you with fewer resources for yourself. Setting healthy boundaries is vital to your well-being now. Ironically, earning respect may not sound sexy, yet it could easily lead to romance.
