This reading is good for establishing where you are in the timing of a situation. Runes one through three represent the past, present and future. Position four offers some advice about how to proceed, and position five speaks to certain limitations in the situation.

1. Past

Position one addresses the past, relative to your question. It shows what has led to to your present state of mind.

Tir / tir the war God

TIR is energy and activity of all kinds. In relationships it often signifies the beginning of a new love or partnership. Such involvements are high energy, even exhausting, and can be overwhelming on the emotional level. The rune also indicates the warrior mentality - steadfastness and motivation and courage combining to produce results.

2. Present

This rune is for the present. In addition, rune 2 can represent your present STATE OF MIND,

Lagu / lake

LAGU points out your intuitive or psychic connections to the world around you. The flowing energies around you are more evident where this rune falls. Allow your attention to focus on inner feelings and psychic awareness can develop. LAGU also indicates females are involved in the question. When in doubt, seek the female connection socially, the intuitive connection on the inner plane.

3. Future

Rune three looks into the future. It says something about the RESULT.

Yer / harvest

YER (GER) signals a time to tie up loose ends, pay old debts, and generally consolidate. By the same token, others will be paying their debts to you, so results of your question tend in a positive direction. Where medical or legal or financial questions are concerned, this rune suggests the abstract idea of consultation. Consider September or October in terms of timing.

4. Assistance

Rune four tells you what kind of help you can expect in regard to your question. It can relate to other people, circumstance, or to your own efforts.

Wyn / joy

Joy is the fundamental meaning of WYN. This rune is well-placed anywhere in your reading, but especially so in the future or outcome. There is a balance between the obvious beneficial qualities of joy and the calm which it leaves in its wake. A fair-haired visitor may play a role in affairs where WYN is present; certainly you have the joyous feeling of the fair-haired child.

5. What you cannot change

Rune five tells you what cannot be changed about the situation. You can evaluate what this rune says in order to formulate a method for acceptance, but do not seek to change this rune's meaning.

BLANK / karmic rune

Fate, destiny, kismet, karma. These are all descriptive of the nature of this rune when it appears. It is as though a veil is drawn over the answer so you cannot perceive it at this time. While it is difficult to trust in fate, it is impossible to change it. Things will be decided for you, so an accepting frame of mind will be your best resource.
