Your question What is costing me more than it is worth?

The spread

  1. What is rooted Gebo Gift and obligation, balanced. A relationship with terms. What to avoid: Giving in order to have a claim.
  2. What is rising Fehu Moveable wealth: money, cattle, the things that can walk away. What to avoid: Greed disguised as security.
  3. What must be cut Thurisaz A gate and a thorn. The obstacle that is also the way through. What to avoid: Reacting to provocation on reflex.

The runes are cast onto a plain surface on a Thursday in autumn, and the first one lands face up, which is unusual and rarely flattering.

The centre rune is Fehu: a rune of protection, and a reminder that some doors should stay shut politely.

The cast ends on the rune of inheritance, which suggests this week's problem belonged to someone else first.
