i'm just catching up after melting down on my birthday. r. showed me the rune from last year, the rune of opening, of dispelling darkness that has been shrouding some part of your life. in relationship, a mutual opening of light. darkness and light abide. 
i didn't dispel the dark, but i took my little light. 
this years rune is wunjo, joy and light. this rune is a fruit-bearing branch. the term of travail is ended and you have come to yourself in some regard. the shift that was due has occurred;
now you can freely receive wunjo's blessings in your emotional life or in a heightened sense of your own well-being. this is an alchemical moment in which understanding is transmuted from knowledge. the knowledge itself was a necessary but not sufficient condition; now you can rejoice, having been carried across the gap by the will of heaven.
joyousness accompanies new energy, energy blocked before now. light pierces the clouds and touches the waters just as something lovely emerges from the depths: the soul is illuminated from within, at the meeting place of heaven and earth, the meeting of the waters.
there is a new clarity which may call for you to renounce existing plans. it is proper and timely for you to do so, for wunjo is a rune of restoration, of the self properly aligned with the self.
