For those wondering what happened yesterday, I was dealing with some health issues and then tech issues. However, as part of my spiritual practice, I still did my rune pull and tarot spread. These are the results of those and then I'll add today's ritual farther down.
Monday, July 13, 2026:
Rune of the day was Isa. This means Ice or Stillness. And boy was it a very still day, bashing my head against technology issues from the moment I started to the moment I put it down for the day.
Tarot spread was as follows:
Past - Inverted Queen of Pentacles (End of hardship)
Present - Nine of Cups (Wishes fulfilled)
Future - Five of Swords (Bullies, theft, violence)
Obstacle - Temperance (Balance, harmony, self-control)
Solution - The Sun (Material happiness, joyous outcome)
At the end of the day, the rune was more reflective of the day I had, but there are definitely parts of the tarot spread that helped to temper my eagerness for this endeavor to get its legs beneath it and start earning an income. I have to recognize that with wishes fulfilled, I will still face hardship and yesterday was a difficult day for me and technology.

The rune of the day for today is Uruz. I've pulled this rune before and it stands for strength, but literally was the symbol for a wild ox. This pull today is encouraging strength, resilience, and dedication to the task ahead. There may be long hours and difficulty ahead, but I'm going to put my head down and get it done until I am done.
For love, this is encouraging tenacity. Staying the long course. Doing the work to save a relationship. It's overcoming the obstacles and pushing forward through the storms you face. The trials and tribulations may be plentiful, but hold on and push through. That strength will be its own reward in the future.
For career, it indicates that you are a hard worker. And that's a good thing. The flip side to that, however, is that a hard worker still needs nourishment. Is your job nourishing you on more than a monetary level? If the answer is anything but yes, perhaps it's time to move along a different path. Career change or discussions with your leadership to find that nourishment will be difficult, but you've always risen to the occasion and this is the same. Rise to the occasion and nourish your entire being in whatever capacity you must where your career is concerned.
For personal purposes, this is telling you to be strong. Stand firm. Care for yourself as you must or even let others care for you. Regardless, avoid giving up. Move forward. The wild ox finds a way to survive even in the worst of conditions. So can you. You are an animal with a willpower all your own. Claim it today and stand up for yourself. Use your strength to propel yourself forward. Know that what you sow today will reap rewards in the future. That project you've been putting off, get started on it. The chore you've been avoiding, get it done. Today is about strength that moves. Stagnancy is a companion better left for rainy days. Today is a sunny day. So get moving! You can do this!
The tarot spread for today is as follows:
Past - Nine of Wands
Present - The Chariot
Future - Five of Wands
Obstacle - Inverted Wheel of Fortune
Solution - Inverted Page of Swords
In reflecting on this pull, the past is definitely aligning with the rune. Strength and resilience are the name of the game. Moving forward and doing what I have to do is what today is all about. The present is very much in the same vein with progress, forward motion, and vengeance. The vengeance, I am unsure of the meaning there, but the progress and forward motion are the focus for today. The future indicates much of the same as yesterday. It speaks to conflict and disagreements, competition and tension. Again, the future is warning that hardships are still going to be a part of the journey. The obstacle is going against the flow, bad luck, maybe even failure. This is very much felt. Trying to start a business with few resources is difficult. And I've been struggling lately with the implications of that. The solution confused me at first and then I realized that in dealing with my health and technology issues, I was unprepared for the unexpected and I need to plan better for the future.
Please share any thoughts or reflections of your own if you have them. Until next time, gratitude, love, and light! - Divine Dokter
