Rune Divination ~ Inguz ᛜ, Uruz ᚢ, and Kenaz ᚲ
Today’s runes signal something new is developing which you need to approach in full clarity. Inguz, as the seed, involves the sudden release of energy into a new beginning of sorts, whether it be a new life of some kind or a new opportunity suddenly appearing.
Uruz reinforces the energy of Inguz by invoking not only the thought process behind the new development but also your own perceptions as you carefully examine the new opportunity. Kenaz, as the torch, provides the higher awareness necessary to view all aspects of the situation in a clear manner.
The runes also suggest that this is not the time to see anything through rose colored glasses or from a subjective agenda. A critical eye is necessary so that you don’t become caught up in something that will not benefit you in the long run.
