Past Actions Effecting the Question
A time of incredible clarity of purpose, knowledge, and creativity is coming soon. Pay attention to what people are saying, and you will notice special messages as if you've deciphered a secret code language.
Your interpersonal skills are experiencing a peak time. You are connected deeply with your core self and this by extension makes communication with others particularly valuable. Creative thought is flowing inside you and around you, making you especially attractive to others.
Laguz reversed may mean sensual numbness and lack of creativity. Passivity, weakness, and lack of initiative can lead to stagnation.
Your life may not seem so clear to you during this time. Berkano reversed may mean dissatisfaction and problems with the family. Someone might not be pulling their weight. Be careful to protect that which is yours.
The "Gambler's Rune" reversal warns that this is not a good time to take risks. Games of chance are not favoured. Do not give in to loneliness and despair.
This sign suggests that your goals may be unrealistic at this time. Fortunately, these times will pass. Redouble your efforts or bide your time if you need to. Do not fight battles you know you cannot win. Be patient.
This rune literally means "year" and stands for the harvest of a good year's labours. It represents a permanent change for the better.
