These runes represent the past, the present, and the future. In traditional divination, they would be connected to what led to your question, the nature of the question, and the ultaimte outcome of the question's answer.

• naudiz - 

  Need

  Restriction, Conflict, Willpower, Endurance, Self-Reliance

  Constraint
  
  Nauthiz's shape is derived from the image of two sticks rubbing together to create a fire. With this in mind, think about opposing forces in your life (or within yourself) and remember that friction, or conflict, can provide the spark needed for something new.
  
  Constraints in your life may cause your progress to slow, but take this time to address what you may have done to contribute to this delay, Blum writes: "Examine what it is in your nature that attracts hardship or misfortune to your life."
  
  Nauthiz's reverse asks you to undertake any hardships in your life and embrace whatever darkness may surround you. This rune is known to be a great teacher, but it expects you to learn in spite of (and through) whatever difficulties may get in the way.

• 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.

• pertho - 

  Dice Cup

  Fate, Chance, Mystery, Destiny, Secrets

  Initiation
  
  The future is unclear if you draw this rune. "Powerful forces of change are at work here. Yet what is achieved is not easily or readily shared," Blum explains. Something major is coming, but don't take this as an invitation to investigate. Remaining passive, and letting the change come to you, may be your best course of action right now.
  
  While Perth normally asks you to think about the changes to come, its reverse urges you to live in the "true present." Here, you'll see what changes you must make in yourself.
