Interpretation

Fluidity is the challenge with this rune. Learn to adjust to the present conditions. Be changeable, yielding, even pliable. You are looking for the correct way for you, so avoid rigidity. Be open to Divine inspiration. This requires that you not be worldly; consider all avenues, including the unusual.

Live in the present, but don't ignore what the past can teach you. Notice what you've missed and see what you have gained. Ask what was important to you. At the same time, notice what is coming into being. Is this what you want?

Work for tomorrow, but don't use all of today working. Goals are needed, but getting there, living day by day, is living a true present. Remember how to play, but don't be careless with your time. Balance is important now; take nothing to extremes, including work and play.

REVERSED

Something within is preventing what you want. You are blocking progress by refusing to accept, or release, something or someone. Look within yourself for the solution. Don't take outside council on this issue. Only you truly understand the blockage. Listen to your higher Self.

Don't be blinded by habits, particularly thinking habits. Be aware of views based on habit. Are they blocking your progress? If they are, do those habits mean more to you than getting what you want?

Recognizing self-made blockages and removing them is the challenge of this rune reversed.
