This easy-to-read four-card layout is one of the most useful of all the layouts. The first rune is the significator, and the last shows the outcome, provided that the advice given is followed. The advice is broken down into two runes which can easily be compared and contrasted. Rune #2 suggests what to avoid, while #3 shows the path to take.
This layout can also be used to ask about the meaning of a rune from a previously executed layout that may have been unclear. In this usage, Rune #2 shows what it did not mean, while #3 clarifies the meaning.

The Ice Rune represents stagnation and a cold, passionless reality. Your life may seem to be going nowhere at the moment, but if you persevere you will soon move on to better days.
When gifts are given, be careful to consider unseen obligations. This rune suggests strong bonds with others. It often refers to family, deep friendships, and even marriage.
The Warrior Rune represents pure, masculine power and the ability to fight for what you want and win it. Be careful to mitigate your aggression, as the cost of attaining your goals can outweigh the gains.
Ehwaz reversed indicates boredom and restlessness. Although you may hunger for something different, do not act in haste. Wait patiently for the right opportunity to present itself.
