Lou Raedwulfe has once again applied his skills and knowledge as an astrologer and runic consultant to provide a unique insight on the upcoming year with his newest book, 2013 Stones and Stars-A Runic and Astrological Forecast. This just released volume now available exclusively for all Kindle e-readers. As he had done in the past, Lou provides a glimpse of the upcoming year and the potential impact of astrological relationships on earthbound events and activities, both nationally and internationally. Divided into quarters, Lou takes the reader through the entire year highlighting “hot spots” which await us.
Lou also provides a different perspective by examining the coming months through the lens of the Runic oracle. For those unfamiliar with Runes, they are an ancient oracle whose origins can be traced to Northern Europe pre-dating the Roman Empire. Lou has been a long-time practitioner of Runecraft and has recently released a book The RuneChest: A Runic Oracle with Interpretations for the 21st Century which is also available on Amazon.
Unlike other forms of prophecy (such as Tarot) the Runic Oracle addresses the future in terms of issues which confront us and provides guidance as to the challenges which those issues bring and possible pathways forward as those challenges are faced and dealt with.
Lou’s skill with Runes is on display here as he casts a one year reading. Viewing the year 2013 in this fashion provides a unique and provocative illumination of what we face in this most important year. This casting also provides a good introduction to the Runes for those who have never encountered this ancient form of wisdom. Both provocative and insightful, the one year reading works in concert with the astrological overview to give readers an opportunity to view the future through a prism they may not have known existed.
Whether your interest in the predictive arts is casual or serious, 2013 Stones and Stones-A Runic and Astrological Forecast is both entertaining and informative. Viewing the upcoming year through the eyes of a skilled esoteric practitioner and psychic makes this a timely read that you will refer back to during the entire path of 2013.

Even as Mercury the Messenger, Saturn the Great Leveler and Mars the God of War right their paths once again on April 4th (Mercury), June 25th (Saturn) and April 13th (Mars), several new and equally significant astrological events come into play. On March 11th, Daylight Savings begins as a precursor to the Vernal Equinox on March 19th. With the influence of the Mercury retrograde just beginning at that time, the chronological shift and the start of a new season could add to the confusion surrounding the globe. An unexpected storm could add to the other tensions and serve as a harsh reminder of the old saying:
“March comes in like a lion…”
Of greater concern is that the Dark Lord, Pluto, goes into reverse on April 10th. Still in Capricorn, the Dark Lord’s energies are bent on transformation through the destruction of the old and outmoded. In retrograde, we must face the shadow side of things; a scandal, a realization that plans for the future were built on sand not rock, secrets which, in coming forth, will dramatically impact a major institution. Geologically speaking, the Earth, too, may let loose a ‘secret’ in the form of a volcano or major quake, especially during the early part of this retrograde from April through the end of June.
There is one particular date which bears close attention: June 4. On that day, three powerful events impose their energies on the planetary pallet which could leave a profound mark across the globe. First, a total Lunar Eclipse occurs during the Full Moon. Second, Venus squares Mars and, finally, Neptune, the Sea King, goes retrograde.
In a previous article, I have discussed the potency of the Neptune retrograde:
Neptune, astrologically speaking, has long been associated with mysticism, idealism and compassion. When affected by negative influences and aspects with other planets, these characteristics can change into delusion and deception as well as a lack of focus and confusion. During a Neptune retrograde, there is a heightened sensitivity to things that go wrong and logic is often replaced with dreams and delusions. These feelings often collide with the stark reality of the real world, i.e., ‘pie in the sky’ meets pie in the face.
Combined with Luna’s energy during an eclipse, the Neptune’s wrath may well make itself known in the form of a hurricane or other ocean-based catastrophe. Since Neptune also rules oil and natural gas, the possibility of a gas crisis (either from a natural or political event) is increased as well. This could well be the start of a long, hot summer-in many ways.
The square of Venus and Mars denotes a lot of emotional issues, particularly those involving the sexes. While more personal in nature, this stress could indirectly contribute to the overall sense of frustration, jealousy and resentment that could play a bigger role in political matters which are already front and center.
Finally there is one last event that must be acknowledged: The solar eclipse during the new moon on May 20. Eclipses have long been recognized as potent sources of energy. This particular eclipse occurs at the beginning of the sign of Gemini. Many ancient astrologers, such as Raphael, noted that an eclipse during an air sign, such as Gemini, was often a portent of ‘stormy winds hurtful to mankind’. In context, this could mean the political/financial storms brewing around the globe as well as actual meteorological events.
Raphael also noted that a solar eclipse during the first part of Gemini could denote ‘dissension and strife among clergy and religious denominations’. Viewed in today’s world setting, the warning here is all too obvious.
Shakespeare in Richard III wrote about the ‘winter of our discontent’. Will the spring of 2012 be even more tumultuous? Interesting times are ahead.
Go Well – Lou

As a long time practicing astrologer and psychic I am routinely asked, by believers and skeptics, the same question: How accurate are these predictive arts using astrology? While I never claim that any method of metaphysical forecasting is flawless, I do point out that history has countless examples of practitioners of the mystic sciences being able ’see’ events in the future and to forecast trends of destiny.
Several times during the year, I will look back on prognostications that I have made and measure them against current events to examine my own accuracy. This is my way of reminding myself that, regardless of skills and gifts that I and other psychics and practitioners may possess, the Universe always has the first move. Even so, measuring what I have seen against what has occurred makes for an interesting tally on my astrological scorecard.
In December 2011, I released my 2012 Predictions on both Kindle and Nook websites and on January 22nd, revised and updated this collection and entitled it 2012 Stars and Stones. Both editions contained this observation:
“ (Pluto) The Dark Lord reverses course on April 10th still in the sign of the Sea Goat. The intensity of this position, coupled with the force of the retrograde is going to make the spring very interesting, to say the least. Pluto Retrograde highlights weakness while Capricorn deals with power and hierarchies. Expect more revelations about how “hollow” the current system is that could cause a major crisis involving a government official sometime between April 10th and the 19th.”
On Saturday, April 14, 2012, the scandal involving the Secret Service hiring prostitutes in Columbia ahead of a major conference to by attended by the President. The story has grown and now DEA agents are also being investigated on similar charges as well as member of the military who were part of the advance contingent.
Also in 2012 Stars and Stones was the following excerpt from the rune casting portion of the book:
“1st Six Months Bridge – Sowelo – This is the rune of wholeness and clarity and is both appropriate and timely as it also denotes the end of winter and the start of the warmth of the year. During these first six months, we may get a chance to see “the funny old man behind the curtain” (figuratively and, possibly, literally) as some scandals/revelations are going to illuminate exactly how the financial crisis occurred on a global scale and who or what stands to profit by keeping things unsettled. Failures in governments will also come to light-perhaps with some shocking results.”
The ongoing failure of Greece to even form a government certainly is the most glaring aspect of this prediction but, by no means, the only one:
February 17, 2012 – German President Christian Wulff resigns as the result of a financial scandal where he was accepting ‘favors’ to influence policy.
February 21, 2012 – A top executive at Olympus commits suicide in the midst of a major accounting scandal and investigation at the company.
March 14, 2012 – An op-ed article by Greg Smith, a former executive at Goldman Sachs, explains in detail how clients’ interests are routinely ignored in the name of making a profit for the firm.
While the revelation on May 11, 2012, that J.P. Morgan Chase suffered a minimum of a $2 Billion dollar loss through risky investment activities, not unlike those which crashed the world economy in 2008 is most certainly a part of this list. It is also important that this singular event (whose total impact may not yet be felt) was also referenced in a subsequent article The Financial Future that I wrote on April 30th. Referencing the impact of the Pluto retrograde in Capricorn that began on April 10th:
“In the sign of Capricorn, the structural aspects of our world such as our financial and banking systems will receive the full brunt of the Dark Lord’s focus. Things hidden will be brought to light; given that Pluto governs big business, crime and the underworld and also the Great Depression… As Pluto’s 160 day rearward dance progresses, and some of these hidden truths become revealed, karmic balance is going to make hit those who have taken advantage of the system the hardest; regrettably since they are also in control, the trickle-down to the rest of us will also be significant.”
The political arena also appears to have made it to my astrological radar. On January 16th in my article entitled: Mercury Retrograde Affects 2012 Elections this observation was made:
“Clearly, what comes out of Super Tuesday may have a far different slant than anyone may have believed going in. With the Messenger staying reversed until April 4th, the communications chaos will not lessen even as the ‘winners’ (who ultimately may not be) and the ‘losers’ (who may not be done) try to spin their way out of Mercury’s Web.”
The war of words between Romney, Gingrich, Santorum and the rest certainly continued unabated for a significant period of time beyond Super Tuesday with echoes still reverberating through present day. For one candidate, however, my words of Feb 22nd in the article Knock Knock certainly projected his future course:
“The retrograde energies of Mercury, Mars and Saturn will be magnified and reinforced by each other from March 12th through April 4th On the political front, I believe that at least one prominent figure is going to learn his (or her) limitations in a rather dramatic fashion that will cause them to recalculate the future that they had planned for themselves.”
Gingrich ended his campaign for the nomination roughly two weeks later.
This also extends to politics beyond our borders as mentioned in my article Dark Side of the Moon written on May 2nd:
“Since the holiday is a celebration of the defeat of the French on May 5th, 1862 by Mexican forces, it would not be surprising if France and or Mexico again were illuminated by this ‘Super Moon’ as part of the sesquicentennial anniversary. Given that the second round run-off of the Presidential Election is also scheduled for May 5th and 6th, there could be a literal turning of the tides that could shape not only the political but financial landscape of the Eurozone as well.”
As is well known, Francois Hollande, a socialist, won the French presidency and, in doing so, has completed shaken the political landscape of Europe leaving many to wonder whether the Euro Union will survive much longer.
The astrological impact on Earth itself was something that I felt strongly about and expressed in the previously mentioned February 22nd Knock Knock article:
“Geologically speaking, the Earth, too, may let loose a “secret” in the form of a volcano or major earthquake especially during he early part of this retro-from April through the end of June.”
And on May 2nd in Dark Side of the Moon:
“The Moon’s impact on weather and the oceans should not be discounted either. With Neptune – the Sea King – also going retrograde during this eclipse, seismic, meteorological or volcanic activity may come within that week”
The earthquakes in Italy on May 20th, the day of the eclipse, has shocked seismologists around the world by how shallow it was and that it occurred in a low risk area. Damage to some of the ancient treasures of Italy is still being assessed but officials in the region feel that it could be “significant”. And just today, May 22nd, Bulgaria has been impacted by a 5.2 tremor with damages yet to be assessed.
Yet these two events were not the only ones which have occurred between April and June. Here is a short list of some of the other events:
April 11-An 8.6 earthquake with an 8.2 after shock near Sumatra
May 14- a 6.2 earthquake near the Bolivian Peru border
May 19-6.1 earthquake off of northern Chile
Totally dwarfed in the news cycle by the Italian quakes, the 6.4 occurrence off of Honshu, Japan seems almost like an afterthought.
So, do astrologers and psychics truly have a window on the future? The answer to this question will continue to be debated with no resolution. Believers believe and doubters doubt. At the end of the day, all I can do is look at my “scorecard” and continue to provide counsel and guidance where I can.
Go Well.
Lou

As 2012 progresses so many things which have transpired in the first quarter of the year point to the fact that this is a most unique and unusual time perhaps eclipsing even the fears of the ancient Mayans. Whether one looks at politics, the international scene or the weather, it is clear that something out of the ordinary is impacting this frail blue orb that we inhabit and, in turn, all of us as well.
As I examine this period more closely, I find my attention being drawn to the area of finance, both local and global, and believe that something significant is on the horizon. The hints of what may lie just ahead can be seen in heavens and is the focus of this article.
There are several significant astrological events all occurring in a condensed period of time from May 15 through the Summer Solstice. This also includes the recent reversal of direction of Pluto,The Dark Lord-on April 10 in the sign of Capricorn. While each of these events individually would have an impact here on Earth, the combined energies of all of them magnify the potency of these aspects. Specifically, the realm of banking, finance, and money-related items are going to be in the astrological crosshairs of these cosmic encounters.
First and foremost, the Pluto Retrograde which began on April 10 will continue until September 17. As I have written about previously, the Dark Lord brings about transformation and eliminates the old and outworn. In the sign of Capricorn, the structural aspects of our world such as our financial and banking systems will receive the full brunt of the Dark Lord’s focus.
Things hidden will be brought to light, given that Pluto governs big business, crime and the underworld and also the Great Depression, the impact on an already shaky global financial system particularly in the early summer could be both potent and path changing across Europe and even here.
As Pluto’s 160 day rearward dance progresses, and some of these hidden truths become revealed, karmic balance is going to make those who have taken advantage of the system the hardest. Regrettably since they are also in control, the trickle-down to the rest of us will also be significant. A kind of financial fatalism could be a tipping point to more than just prime-time drama during the summer.
With the Dark Lord’s ongoing mission of transformation through destruction as the backdrop, several other cosmic elements will contribute further stress on our collective wallets, hearts and minds-among other things. Coming up next on the astrological hit parade is Venus. Please check out my article on Psychic Cosmos.com and elsewhere for a discussion on the Goddess of Love and her impact, both historically on the Mayan culture, and as dynamic force in relationships-personal, professional, international and emotional in the present day.
More than just a pretty face, Venus also governs money and values. Additionally, the Love Goddess also impacts societies and justice. When she, too, goes retrograde on May 15, financial resources will begin to dry up, sources of supply (both of cash and necessities) seem to be diminishing and a general feeling of “everyone for themselves” could lead to both domestic and international unrest.
I have written about what I foresee as a very intense period coming up in the next 60-90 days. Some of these articles will be available on PsychicCosmos.com and elsewhere in the near future.
Fortunately, this backwards waltz only lasts until June 27, however, when combined with the Plutonian backdrop and other forces which are discussed next in this article, the roughly 42 days of retrograde may well seem (and possibly be) an eternity for the world markets.

2012 Astrological Overview – Through a Glass Darkly or Not
The summer months are usually a time of relaxation, renewal and recreation. But in this year of 2012 there is a fourth element that must be considered; reckoning. The heavens are going to be a hotbed of astrological activity that is going to have profound impacts here on Earth and its denizens from a period beginning June 3 and running through July 26. From July 3 through July 26, the planetary dance reaches a frenzied pace. Astrologers and psychics will be focusing their skills in order to help forecast the events which may occur during this cosmic chaos.
There are several highlights that occur and will have great significance during that period. To begin with, the amount of retrograde action increases dramatically. Neptune, The Sea King, goes into reverse on June 4 with Chiron, the Wounded Healer, following suit on June 11. Adding to the mix is Uranus, the Sky Lord, heading rearward on July 13. To top everything off, the second Mercury retrograde of the year starts a day later on July 14.
The Neptune retrograde portends water related issues. The chance for a potent hurricane during that time is dramatically increased. Since Neptune also controls oil and gas, expect for a problem with shortages during the height of the summer travel season. Dreams and delusions will be squaring off with realty adding tension across the board. Chiron is following a similar course and will bring up old hurts, both politically and personally. These will need to be addressed and ‘healed’ or at least acknowledged.
Uranus moving backward is going to further enhance the spirit of revolution against the old orders world wide. When added to Neptune and Chiron, the chance for social and political upheavals is exacerbated as existing power centers totter against the weight of time and change is amplified. Protests, confrontations and the possibility of armed conflict is likely both internationally and domestically as Uranus’ position in Aries raises the emotional temperature to a boiling point.
If all of this weren’t enough, the Mercury retrograde will add to the confusion, uncertainty and frustration of communications issues, mental lapses and breakdowns, and a failure to maintain order. Main stream sources of news may be less than reliable and, on personal levels, break-ups and break-downs could occur with a greater frequency. Mercury retrogrades are challenging during a quiet period, however, this one could be devastating.
There are other major astrological events during this shortened period. The total eclipse of the moon on June 4 falls in Sagittarius. Eclipses in fire signs highlight discontent in society, a realization that essential resources are scarce and increased military activity. Even as a search for “the truth” continues, more summer fireworks than usual can be expected. The Summer Solstice itself occurs on June 20. As with any seasonal change, energies will be in flux. There is also a unique event with Venus transiting across the Sun for only the second time since 1882 and will not occur again until 2117.
Between the heat of Old Sol and the passion of Venus, the Goddess of Love, the emphasis is on what classic astrologers call ‘The Divine Feminine’. Expect an important woman (or women) to have a major impact during that time.
As mentioned before, the period from July 3 through the 26 is extremely active, particularly for the Messenger and Mars, God of War. Mercury has seven aspects during that three week period and Mars has six. Communications and aggression will blend with the other planets impacted further ramping up the tensions on all fronts.
While all the emphasis of prediction and prophecy has been placed on December 21, 2012, the real focus should be on the summer months. The energies swirling above will be reflected on us below and may well leave us trying to catch our collective and spiritual breaths well before the Mayan Long Count ends.

The beginning of the end June 2012
2012 Through the looking glass part III
2012 The year ahead according to the Runes
This is it! 2012 is here and promises to be much more active than last year. This is a year to goal set and stick to them. Especially in January, nail down those projects that need to be finished because February promises to get things rolling in new and different directions.
If you have been wanting to start any new projects, now is the time to plan. Don’t forget the details! Some have wanted to make changes in their lives for a very long time. This is the year to do it.
If you have been stuck in the same old rut, this will be the year that starts the destruction of the old so that the new things you have really wanted in your life can enter. When one door shuts another opens almost immediately.
If you have wanted to move, or start another career or find that special someone, get moving! This year will fly by like no other!
It is also the year to get your finances in order and we all know we can cut down on the frivolous things we really don’t need. Make your coffee at home; it will save you $4 at the local coffee shop. And that DOES add up over time.
Streamline your spending and buy only what you need. Save that for that rainy day. Even if you don’t find it raining, you will find a very special something that you will want or need.
Stop the impulse buying should be the theme of your entire year! It won’t be hard if you start under the influence of Saturn which is where we are right now.
Some of the old things in your life will be dropping away allowing the space for new friendships, etc., to enter your life. Should you decide NOT to do housecleaning, you may find it will be done for you. For example, you may find that some friends/acquaintances fade away. While that may temporarily upset you, it will make room for new and different friends that you find you have more in common with.
If you have been wanting to end a relationship, this year is your window of opportunity. Some will change jobs, others will change careers. Some will, at the drop of a hat, decide to move across the country.
Better to personally give up on things that have outlived their purpose rather than having it done to you. You will benefit by starting the process yourself; it will make you feel in control of your own destiny as the year moves forward.
Happy New Year!

2012 This Summer the livin ain’t easy
2012 will bring change either to us or all around us. For certain, the world chaos is heating up and you don’t want to be caught un-prepared. Planning now for any natural or man-made chaos will prevent your own life from turning upside down in the future.
The world is right now under-going a massive transformation along with most everyone in it. We can all feel it at a gut level. Some of you have already had change ‘happen’ to you whether you liked it or not and this will continue with increasing speed.
Now is not the time to sit a wait to see what will happen. Now is the time to make a plan and also have a backup plan. Having a backup plan in addition to an original plan, will give you confidence if you cannot execute plan A. Your safety might well be plan B.
For example, if you think you may lose your job, then start saving now for that ‘rainy day’ because it is coming. If you think there will be food shortages, then every time you go to the grocery store, buy something that will keep for a year or more.
In other words, stock up on things rather than wait. Because change is coming and increasing at a rapid rate, then do your homework. If a natural disaster or man-made disaster struck, where would you go?
Tips 2012 preparedness:
1. Have plenty of water stored
2. Store dry goods in case of food shortages
3. Store extra gasoline in case you need to leave in a hurry
4. Store money away from banks; what if they shut down?
5. Have an escape route and send it to all of your relatives so they know where to expect you will be in case of emergency
These things should always be on hand whether you are expecting disaster or not. This will give you a piece of mind knowing that you can survive in the event of any social or natural disturbance.
This should relieve anxiety and give you and your loved ones piece of mind in uncertain times such as these. Then you can go on living your everyday lives knowing that you are safe should something happen.
2012 will increase the anxiety levels of nations and individuals around the world. Remember, this is change we cannot stop. It is here to stay for a while and being prepared will keep you much calmer in times of stress and external chaos wherever you may live.

Looks like Lou and Kit have done it again! Both of them predicted that here would be more seismic activity in April and May and they were once again right on the money!
Lou predicted on May 24 on the blog that we could expect lots more seismic activity including volcano eruptions and earthquakes and he was correct! Argentina and Chili evacuated people living near the Copahue volcano as it erupted May 28 on the border between Argentina and Chili.
Kit predicted on March 31 this year that we should expect more seismic activity in April and May and she was also correct. She actually named Chili as one of those places.
Good job to both of you!
