Cattle, movable wealth

A vertical stave with two upward branches resembling cattle horns — the herd, the Iron Age unit of wealth. Wealth that must be tended and circulated, not hoarded.

Gain and reward are arriving; effort you invested is bearing fruit. A favourable moment to start something, invest, or accept an opportunity. The rune reminds you that wealth is energy that must circulate — held too tightly, it spoils.

Loss, financial delay, or greed clouding judgement. It can point to an investment that failed, envy, or attachment to objects at the cost of real value. Ask whether you are chasing a number or the life you actually want.

Act on what yields, then give a portion of it away.
