RUNE OF THE MONTH: Mannaz “the Self”. “Man know thyself and you shall know the universe and God” is a famous quote attributed to the Delphi Oracle. The element of loving kindness is also present in this rune. The self is what distinguishes us from others. It represents our truest essence, our uniqueness, our personal magic which can only be accessed through deep introspection.

Mercury turns direct on Monday 3/9 at 8:49 PM. Its shadow period lasts until 3/30. The degree it turns direct on (28º17’ Pisces) is represented in the Sabian Symbols by “A light breaking into many colors as it passes through a prism”. This retrogradation has enabled us to connect with our multidimensionality, touch the divine within us, enhance our mystical understanding of the universe, expand our perception of beauty, enhance our healing powers and develop our compassion and sensitivity to subtle realms of existence. Works of art that may have been collecting dust on shelves were revisited and completed with renewed inspiration.
