This cast is very similar to a three-rune layout because we have the past, present and future involved with it. However, be aware that the third rune (Austri) is not the one that “predicts” the future for you. Its mission is to try to make sure you’re aware of any obstacles that may come your way as you try to reach your goal. The last position (Sudri) takes on the role of the usual “future position” for a three-rune layout.

• fehu - 

  Livestock

  Wealth, Abundance, Success, Security, Fertility

  Possessions
  
  Drawing this rune signifies that newfound wealth, health, or even affection could be headed your way, but Fehu also warns against basking in your good fortune. Instead, reflect on "the meaning of profit and gain in your life," Blum writes. And don't let this recent fulfillment distract you from what you may already have — be generous but don't waste anything at this time.
  
  The reverse of Fehu isn't exactly an ideal drawing. Something you've been hoping for may never come to fruition. Even worse, you may fall into poor health or lose money. Blum offers one reassurance: "This is part of coming to be and passing away, and not that which abides." This isn't the end of your story.

• sowilo - 

  Sun

  Health, Honor, Resources, Victory, Wholeness, Cleansing

  Wholeness
  
  This is the thing you seek throughout your times of reflection, stillness, and even progress. When you draw this rune, you've reached the end of your journey as well as your next opportunity for regeneration, "down to the cellular level," Blum writes. Now is the time to set goals that you can and will achieve.

• thurisaz - 

  Thorn

  Reaction, Defense, Conflict, Catharsis, Regeneration

  Gateway
  
  This rune "represents the frontier between Heaven and the mundane," writes Blum. To put in mortal terms, you're ready for something bigger. Thurisaz, frequently associated with the god Thor, is imbued with energy and even chaos. Without direction, this energy can easily turn destructive, which is why Blum emphasizes that one should exercise nonaction upon drawing this rune. Think before you act.
  
  A reversed Thurisaz can mean accelerated progress, but you can still act mindfully. Ignore the urge to act hastily and don't lose sight of your intentions.

• jera - 

  The Year

  Cycles, Completion, Changes, Harvest, Reaping Rewards

  Harvest
  
  As its name suggests, Jera implies that you're investing in good things to come, but it may take awhile. Don't push right now — you're on the right track, and, much like Eihwaz, Jera urges you to be patient. You're in a time of great potential (perhaps you're on the right track at work or you're trying to conceive) that could lead to a great reward down the road.
  
  While there is no reverse for this rune, it comes with a warning, from Blum: "Remember the old story about the farmer who was so eager to assist his crops that he went out at night and tugged on the new shoots... You cannot hasten the harvest."
