Othala (Reversed) -
Position 1: This reversed rune provides an overview of the issue. A reversed Othala signifies loss, failure, problems, and lack of assistance from others. There is a need for total honesty at this time, as well as a shedding of old and unproductive ways, so as not to exacerbate the problem.

Rad - travel and communication
Position 2: The challenge indicated by this rune suggests the need to move forward now without procrastination. The central meaning behind this rune is travel and communication, and usually indicates a journey of some kind. This can be a physical journey or an inner journey that will prove enlightening and productive. Whatever the circumstances, you must not delay by using excuses that are not truly applicable here.

Laguz -
Position 3: The course of action called for here suggests the need to listen more to your intuition rather than clinging to what others believe you should do. Like the fluidity of water that Laguz represents, you are advised to be flexible and “go with the flow,” and you will find the right path for you.

Not - Constraint
Position 4: The sacrifice posed by this rune denotes restrictions, delays and obstacles. The appearance of Not calls for much patience and deliberation because there may be forces at work preventing drastic or hurried action. Not sometimes signifies a distance between people – whether physically or emotionally – that you seek to overcome. It also denotes spiritual growth through the hardships described.

Eihwaz (Reversed) - strengthening of character
Position 5: The new situation developing as indicated by this rune points to a favorable turn of events resulting from steadfast behavior, and usually signifies that you are close to achieving your goal. As long as the situation is approached steadily, a positive outcome is likely. Difficulties that might be present may pave the way for the beginning of a new life.
