This rune indicates a time of standstills. A freeze in some situation. All your plans should be put on hold for a while. Wait for improved conditions or more enthusiasm before continuing on. Paired with delay runes, positive accomplishments are unlikely now. This rune (unless paired with negative runes) indicates temporary delays and frustrations. It may tell of a relationship cooling off. (Examine the runes surrounding Isa to see what type of relationship.) There may be bad feelings and resentments, possibly leading to separation. Problems with loyalty are indicated. Unless Isa is paired with reversed love runes, relationship problems will be resolved soon, but in a strongly negative runecast, the relationship or project is no longer salvageable and the advice of this rune is to move on.

Sowelo is a rune of victory, health, and success. It indicates a time when power will be available to you for positive changes in your life. In a generally positive reading, Sowelo is an indication of your being healthy and of you overcoming opposition. RELAX! Don't let worry and tension get you. In a runecast with Raidho, Wunjo, Othala or Fehu, you are being a workaholic. Paired with negative runes Sowelo foretells of over exertion. This rune could be a warning that your stressful lifestyle may deteriorate your health. When Sowelo is shown with Hagalaz, Isa, Nauthiz or Turisaz, you may wish to be in total control of your life at all times, and if this is not possible you are likely to feel anxious and helpless. Despite all this, Sowelo is generally considered a positive rune.

Drawing Raidho reversed indicates that now is a bad time for travelling, though you may need to. Someone may be visiting you during an inconvenient time. Or it might be a visit to an ill friend or relative. Delays, breakdowns, accidents and problems are likely during travel. If possible, postpone any journey you may have planned. There may be an upset of your plans. Any transactions or negotiations are not likely to turn out in your favor now. There may be trouble in your relationships. Try and be extra patient with people now. Look to surrounding runes to see where these delays may affect you.
