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.

• 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.

• dagaz - 

  Inheritance

  Ancestry, Possessions, Heritage, Experience, Value

  Breakthrough
  
  This rune alludes to a complete transformation of the self. Symbolic of the dawn, Dagaz may even indicate the end of your previously ordinary life. As dramatic as this may sound, Blum writes that you should exercise "radical trust" and seize this moment of change.
  
  Without a reverse, this rune's message is clear: You've achieved something great. Remember what brought you to this point.

• wunjo - 

  Joy

  Pleasure, Comfort, Harmony, Prosperity, Reward, Success

  Joy
  
  Let the self-restraint that has guided you through Nauthiz and Fehu come to an end. Wunjo is a sign that "you have come to yourself in some regard," Blum writes, and that comes with new energy, a sense of illumination, and, yes, joy. He adds that this rune also encourages restoration. You may suddenly wish to "renounce existing plans, ambitions, goals," and he says you should follow these feelings. You've reached a point where you feel aligned with your true self.
  
  In reverse, Wunjo reflects a delay in what you want. A change of circumstances — or a change of heart — may be in order.

• haglaz - 

  Hail

  Nature, Wrath, Being Tested, Overcoming Obstacles

  Disruption
  
  "Hagalaz has only an upright position," Blum writes, "and yet it always operates through reversal." Simply put, this rune means big things — a radical change, a failed relationship, or sudden freedom. Whatever it is, you will not feel in control. In fact, you'll only be subjected to the intensity of the moment, so prepare to call your inner strength in order to endure. Take comfort in the promise that any disappointment you experience will be short-lived.
