The meaning of the rune Algiz
Algiz – rune element of fire. 15th rune of the Futhark, belongs to the Second Aett.
The meaning of the rune Algiz – horns, space, protection.
The main meaning of the rune Algiz is the protection and patronage of the Higher Powers. This is one of the most sacred symbols of the Futhark, directly related to the beliefs of the ancient Scandinavians in the existence of a pantheon of gods. The literal translation of the name Algiz reflects the power and strength of the patronage that the Norse Gods give to humans.
Algiz – a very strong rune protection, preventing malicious influences, warning of danger, helping to establish a connection with the Supreme Forces. This relationship can manifest itself in the form of sudden thoughts, insights, ancestral help. Rune contributes to the development of intuition and information from the subtle plans.
Also, this symbol has several other meanings that are manifested in a particular situation: in a straight or inverted position, as well as in combination with other runes.
Rune Algiz in the direct position
The description of rune Algiz in the direct position is reduced to the concept of “protection”, but it appears at different levels. Its main value – the protection and assistance of the Higher Powers that protect people from negative influences. The ancient Scandinavians put this rune on their weapons, which were used in battle.
Modern practitioners use Algiz as a universal protective symbol. It can not only lead people out of dangerous situations with the least losses, but also to develop an intuition that helps to avoid getting in such situations.
In the direct position, Algiz speaks of a favorable influence, of new opportunities. A powerful good force will play an important role for the diviner.
On a more down-to-earth level, Algiz can be perceived as patronage from more powerful and influential people. First of all, these are friends who have the right amount of resources: money, connections, and strength to come to the aid in case of problems.
Despite the great strength, the description of Algiz should not be misleading that it is an aggressive or “heavy” symbol. By its nature, this rune is different from the martial sign Thurisaz or masculine Tiwaz. Algiz is a soft symbol that does not expend the energy of the one who uses it. He does not increase the level of aggression and does not attract dangerous situations from which you will have to defend yourself, on the contrary, makes the line of life calmer and smoother.
Rune Algiz in the inverted position
Algiz upside down is a sign of danger hanging over a person. It literally “cuts off” something or someone from the help of their makers. It is a state of a completely lost and lonely in the global sense of a person who has no one to ask for help.
It is a sign of blunted intuition, difficulty in predicting one’s future, in part – dangerous illusions. Any choice made will be wrong, and the path started – hard if this sign actively affects the person. It does not harm itself, but it deprives the chances to get help.
Can speak of loneliness and insecurity at the domestic level, the lack of people who could support and help make life easier.
Interpretation of the rune Algiz in divination
On love and relationships
Direct position
Algiz in a relationship is a beautiful and promising symbol. When divining a person’s feelings, it indicates that the person in question is sympathetic to the diviner and shows a clear interest. It is highly likely that one of the partners is older than the other, has a more stable financial situation and higher status in society.
When divining the future of a relationship, the interpretation of Algiz is the approval of the couple by the Higher Powers. These can be the original intended for each other, or just perfect for the role of partners. This indicates a stable, long-term relationship built on a kinship of souls, the similarity of beliefs, views and interests.
With a high degree of probability promises a formal marriage. Approval of the relationship in society and in the partners’ environment. Development of the personality of both members of the couple in the process of the relationship, mutual improvement.
Inverted position
The inverted position indicates that the riddled people are not a good match for each other. However, there are many factors that can bind them together, such as passion, attraction to appearance or status. However, the long-term prognosis is disappointing: they are very different people, with different values and goals in life. They have a different approach to life and their chances of creating a family are extremely slim.
This may speak to the total disapproval of the relationship from society. Scandals and quarrels with friends and relatives because of the disclosure of the relationship. “Forbidden fruit,” a relationship of very different statuses.
One of the likely signs of emotional abuse in a relationship. Inhibitions, unwillingness to compromise, pressure from one partner on the other. Willingness to impose their will, without regard to the consequences.
On career and finances
Direct position
In a career chart can have several basic interpretations. When asked about the likelihood of a promotion or an improvement in working conditions, it quite often answers positively. However, Algiz is primarily protective, and if the change is not worth the effort, it may not take place.
If the diviner desires a job without reference to a specific organization or position, Algiz promises a job soon. The job will meet most of the expectations of the diviner.
Rune foretells of new business acquaintances, finding a mentor and a strong patron.
With a high degree of probability indicates that the diviner will not be in conflict with the bosses, staff or customers in the near future, or the conflicts will be very minor and will not interfere in the future.
Inverted position
The inverted position can speak of career-related difficulties. There is a very high probability that the guesser is disliked by someone in a higher management or a significant number of people in the team. You should be wary of gossip, intrigue, and unreasonably harsh inspections.

The divination “Rune of the Day”
