This week's External Influence is the Reversed Wolf spirit guide. When this guide comes into play, it is often a sign to look for structure and ritual combined with the wild spirit. Reversed, we see this spirit guide as a sign that this week's environment may continue to ask you to work on your own. If you feel like you are alone this week, consider your options and what is going on with your environment. If you have been too rigid in your social interactions, consider how your actions, environment, or peer's behavior could be adjusted to better balance yourself and those around you. You have strength and confidence within you and this week will remind you of that. How have you and your environment been interacting? Have you been feeling safe or unbalanced? This week may be a reminder to loosen up and let yourself engage in interactions with others or it could be a push to work on these more alone. Just know that whether it is too little or too much interaction, that this is a sign to look at your social structure or home rituals. Consider where you may need to work on balance or loosen up. Reversed Wolf could be here to remind you to howl at the wind now and then, but not to forget this week's responsibilities. This could be the perfect week to start a new ritual or routine you may have been putting off.

This week's Rune is Raidho! It is symbolized as being a solar chariot carrying the sun across the sky. This connects with it's representation of being the Rune of travel, flow, movement, and progression. By drawing from the powers of Raidho, we can find solace in cycles and rhythms. Just like with the movement of the wheel, life turns in patterns and flows that we can tap into such as the passing of days or the path of the sun. It connects the eight major festivals of the year and gains a symbolism for ritual or ceremonial magic by aiding in the flow of energy from one place to another. While progression can be measured by the phases of the moon as well, Raidho connects specifically with patterns of the flow associated with solar powers rather than lunar ones. Drawing from the origin of it's name, this Rune deal with counsel and advice. Urging chivalrous actions. Raidho will aid you in moving energy to a specific place or in completing journeys. Use this Rune when you need to connect with the flow of life or to expand your thought process. Allow yourself to dance and move as a way to engage in the passing of one moment to the next. Work hard so that you will come to best possible outcome of your journey with the understanding that the outcome is not an end, but a beginning to a new transformation. Keep in mind that each cycle exists within a larger cycle and that by keeper a larger picture in your mind, you will decrease any chance of circling without direction. Enjoy the process of movement physically, mentally, and spiritually.

The Internal Card is the Spirit Guide Owl. This card continues the message of manifesting your wishes. A great urge to find your place and harmony is within you and you have the power to achieve it. Owl reminds us we have knowledge within and that we have the ability to research and learn even more. Keep enthusiasm in your heart as you work towards your goals. This will require calling on more respect from others towards yourself. Communicate clearly and remember to watch carefully for body language or other signs of communication from those around you. Owl reminds us to see clearly past the illusions that may be spun around us. See the strength within you that can enable you to reach for the resources outside of you. Be courageous and persistent as you grow towards manifesting goals. Heal within and be confident. You can rise above, undaunted by the trials that may have held you back in your past if you realize the strength, magic, and wisdom within you.
