The Week Ahead: Astrology, Runes, & Energetic Insights for 8-14 March 2026

The Week Ahead is a compendium of information that includes a weekly forecast, current astrological information, correspondences, and recommendations for working magick, as well as weekday rune and tarot readings that help you navigate the coming week. Love and Blessings to all!

General Astrological Outlook

At the beginning of the week, Mercury retrograde may influence your interactions with a partner, with intense or dramatic reactions possible. Having patience and conveying understanding may go a long way toward avoiding conflict. Otherwise, trust and the commitment you’ve established could be impacted.

As the week continues, you may experience an inner conflict between a focus on home and social/community causes. Realizing that your overall family is more than the family you’re born into can help assuage any concerns you might have. In other words, they both reside on the same continuum.

During the latter part of the week, social groups help you dream about and explore new ideas. Although you typically seek a balance between maintaining a routine and seeking new experiences, you may also be motivated to express yourself through art or metaphysical pursuits.

One last thing…a stellium involving Neptune, Saturn, and Venus (all in Aries) occurs for most of the week, which brings together the three planets in a concentrated shared energy. Bold and mission-driven ideals are involved, as are strong partnership commitments that could be forced instead of allowed to develop naturally. Remaining disciplined and committed, along with expressing love and harmony, while still wanting whatever it is you want, seems to be how this plays out.

Daily Readings

Sunday, 8 March 2026

Be aware of someone who uses deception or charm to fool others. Your defenses may be less today, particularly if you’re experiencing sadness or grief that can leave you vulnerable to someone who seeks to manipulate you. From that point, as higher awareness replaces feelings that leave you stuck in egoic perception, you may be more alert to someone who only wants to control or undermine you. Pay attention to details and let reason replace doubt.

For the magickally inclined: if sadness or grief is keeping you off-balance, a realignment ritual using Jera ᛃ can help you transmute darkness into the light. Similar to a Dagaz ritual, the Jera ritual can be performed using the ground or floor by mentally or physically drawing Jera large enough to move from one end to the other while visually realigning and transmuting your awareness. Or, you can create a smaller version of the rune on a piece of parchment paper and place it in the center of a table or workspace. Place a black candle in the lower half of Jera and a white candle in the upper half. Add black crystals (black tourmaline, shungite, or obsidian) around the bottom of the rune, and clear quartz, celestite, or fluorite crystals around the top of the rune. Light the black candle and focus your intention on letting go of egoic perceptions that don’t serve a higher purpose. When ready, light the white candle and focus your intention on raising your vibration to align with higher consciousness as any dark energy dissolves away. 

Influences: Universal numerology/Day: 3/8; Runes: Jera, Tristitia; Tarot: The Moon; Human Design Gate/Line 22.2 Charm School

Monday, 9 March 2026

The difference between humility and an ego-centric focus may become apparent today as you meditate on the idea of selflessness. Power stemming from ego may initially give you the riches you desire, but in the end, are you really carrying out your true purpose? Reciprocity grounded in service to others becomes a true gift, whereas a quid pro quo attitude only serves a personal agenda and may create an atmosphere of self-imprisonment. If you’re considering a new partnership, or you’re checking in on an existing one, how you answer the call to selflessness may make all the difference in the partnership’s success.

For the magickally inclined: If a partnership concern arises, consider the difference between the rune Gebo ᚷ and the Devil card from the Major Arcana. Gebo’s focus is on reciprocity and balanced energy exchange, while The Devil represents being a slave to desire, or self-imprisonment. Ideally, if a partnership concern arises, consider what focus is more prevalent: a willingness to compromise or a desire to control the other? You may find the answer there. Otherwise, during a conversation with your partner, carry Gebo with you in some fashion to help keep the conversation respectful and balanced.

Influences: Universal numerology/Day: 4/9; Runes: Gebo, Fortuna Minor; Tarot: The Devil; Human Design Gate/Line: 59.2 Shyness

Tuesday, 10 March 2026

Getting out of the way of your own process to align with collectively shared goals may relieve any indecision you may be experiencing today. New ideas can be innovative, but not if you’re unable to put them in play. You may be the one opposing your own success if you remain stuck in perceptions that are unable to be implemented. Although working with others may be a big change for you, it may end up being less restrictive than going it alone.

For the magickally inclined: The rune, Thurisaz ᚦ, can be used to break through challenges, whether they be self-imposed or other-imposed. A representation of Thor’s hammer, its keyword is thorn, and it also represents defense, new beginnings, protection, impulsivity, giants, and chaos. Meditating on and visualizing Thurisaz as either a hammer or a thorn that either breaks through or rips apart difficulties, again, either self- or other-imposed, can help reestablish the inner control to view a situation differently. Thurisaz can help you let go of self-destructive tendencies that prevent you from achieving clarity. And, it can also help you to find solutions to challenges that may appear insurmountable.

Influences: Universal numerology/Day: 5/1; Runes: Thurisaz, Via; Tarot: 8 of Swords; Human Design Gate/Line: 17.2 Discrimination

Wednesday, 11 March 2026

A restructuring is necessary today to have better control over your own success. However, it may not be the kind of control to which you’ve become accustomed. Instead, the restructuring you need involves your expectations of others and your willingness to commit to supporting their input. Micromanaging needs to give way to a shared or collaborative path. In doing so, you become more receptive to their ideas and supportive of their contributions, and, in the long run, you can achieve a higher form of success.

For the magickally inclined: Take a small cauldron, or other fire-safe container, outside in a safe area, and light a piece of ritual charcoal. While it’s beginning to burn, write down on a bay leaf (or leaves) all the expectations of others that are unrealistic or self-serving. When the charcoal is glowing red, place each leaf on top of the coal while visualizing your expectations that are unrealistic, transmuting into those that are positive and without a personal agenda. When you’re finished, allow the leaves to burn completely, and place a fire-safe cover over the cauldron or container until cool. Bury the remaining ash in the ground.

Influences: Universal numerology/Day: 6/11; Runes: Hagalaz, Fortuna Major; Tarot: The Empress; Human Design Gate/Line: 63.2 Structuring 

Thursday, 12 March 2026 

If working with a group today, let go of negative self-talk, regrets, and ego-driven reactions, and step back to gather more facts before making any decisions. It could be that you’re experiencing a lack of integration with the perspective(s) of others, as well as your overall role in the group. Help them to troubleshoot the problem, and in doing so, you may come to an entirely different conclusion.

For the magickally inclined: Create a mojo/charm bag using a swatch of fabric or a drawstring bag that incorporates the rune Mannaz ᛗ to be carried with you to help you more effectively collaborate with a group of people when identifying and troubleshooting problems. Add a piece of blue lace agate or sodalite to promote balanced energy exchange and to find common ground, respectively. Mannaz can be drawn on the outside of the bag, especially if using a drawstring bag, or placed inside the bag. Hold the bag in your hands and visualize coming together with others. 

Influences: Universal numerology/Day: 7/3; Runes: Mannaz, Puella; Tarot: 9 of Swords; Human Design Gate/Line 39.6 The Troubleshooter 

Friday, 13 March 2026 

Allow your compassion to flow to others today who need your love and support. Stay present in the moment and do not allow your focus to scatter to other issues, so they feel acknowledged and seen. Doing so creates an opportunity, especially if you’re in a leadership or supervisory position, to have them know you value who they are, not just what they contribute.

For the magickally inclined: When offering compassion to others, it may be necessary to first pull back any existing energetic channels to purify and cleanse your mind/body/Spirit balance. Visualize existing energy channels dissolving as you align in higher consciousness. This doesn’t have to be a long process. In fact, you can set up the process in the form of a spell at any time where you visualize the process, and assign a one-word command that you can use to instantly remove any energetic entanglements that could interfere with your focus. 

Influences: Universal numerology/Day: 8/4; Runes: Laguz, Puella; Tarot: Page of Wands Human Design Gate/Line: 17.6 The bodhisattva

Saturday, 14 March 2026

You may encounter an older man today who either overreacts or attempts to control you in some way. He may be angry about some perceived slight or confused about something, and it may be up to you to convince him of the actual truth. Stay focused, keep your vibration high, and do not be deterred from your desired outcome. Your generosity of spirit may ultimately be what convinces him of his error.

For the magickally inclined: There are various methods to create an energetic barrier or shield around you when you need to protect your own energy from that of others. Whether it’s in a big box store or someone you’re speaking to, given that we’re all energy, it makes sense that our energies overlap. When emotions run high, that energy can be directed to someone else, whether we realise it or not. So, activating a shield or bubble of some kind that protects your energetic balance is a must. Visualizing a bubble of light around you, using a shopping cart as a way to push energy aside in a store, a suit of armor, or anything else that resonates, works. Add color to it if you like, and then go about your business feeling more secure.

Influences: Universal numerology/Day: 9/5; Runes: Isa, Rubeus; Tarot: King of Pentacles; Human Design Gate/Line 26.4 Censorship

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
