You are blind to the implications of your actions on yourself, on your situation and on your loved ones. The coldness of the winter, Isa, has put you in hostile situations and you are blind to the possible outcomes. You are unaware of what is happening to you. Or even if you meet them, your self-ego will be so high that you will not listen to what they say. And the people who can genuinely help you? The persons you really know you must be with? Isa will ensure that you do not meet them. People who are right now around you are not the ones who will help you, because in fact they are the ones who are freezing you! You are lonely with them. If you do not, you will be frozen even more.Ī typical thing with Isa. The energy is not going to vanish by itself, you have to take some efforts. But this does not mean that you just give up and sit down.

There are things beyond your control and you have to endure. As with the other Runes of the second Aett, Isa is linked to patience. Read books or listen to others more knowledgeable than you. On the practical side, try to find out more about the situation you are in. This can also mean that you are not willing to change your perspective when the time/ situation demands it. Strong hidden forces are working against you, stopping your thoughts and actions both. You do not care, not about yourself, not about the other person, or the situation you are in. It will prevent you from acting, when in fact action is most necessary here. Isa is the Rune of barriers, obstacles and mental blocks. And the more you ignore these stalled things, the more difficult it will get to make them work again. Getting the ice to melt requires significant work. There will be challenges during this period, either emotional, physical, financial etc. Time periods indicated by Isa are generally quite long, 6 months or more. Isa in this context means that the life philosophy you are following is not helping you evolve, instead it has frozen you stiff. But taking corrective actions will be difficult as self-ego will obstruct. Being a know-it-all in the spiritual path is dangerous. You think you know everything and thus your downfall begins. Isa’s ‘stillness’ can easily become stagnation. In questions on personal growth, Isa indicates that your exaggerated self-ego is the root cause of the situation you find yourself in. But act you must, if you do not, you will be stuck even more deeply. Try to find out more about the situation you are in before acting. Your movement is limited, the flow of events is frozen. You will see only the superficial tip of the ice-berg, its real depth is always hidden. Taking critical decisions in periods indicated by Isa is treacherous. Isa means that the situation is stuck and significant efforts will be needed to get things moving again.

Or if you are expecting a big profit or something, it will be delayed or not happen. If a business has to grow there has to be a flow, a movement of energy, money, goods, services etc. Isa in a reading on business or finance represents a control imposed from the outside which will eventually create a bigger problem. Else the relationship or partnership will break down and you will suffer even more. Try to do the things you used to enjoy together and unfreeze the love that you have for him/ her. Try to feel the good times with your loved one or think on why this person is important to you. If you are surrounded by Isa yourself, then you must think and feel yourself out of it. Do not expect him to come to a mutual understanding. You are dealing with someone who has an exaggerated sense of self-ego, a spear of ice. Isa shows you the harsh, cold, merciless, egoistical face of the person you are interacting with. This is not a kind energy, it is impersonally cruel. If you do not act in time, Isa will tear you two apart. Things are frozen between the two of you. In inter-personal relationship readings, Isa indicates a lack of warmth. If you can spot it in time, perhaps you can escape but once you are in a situation indicated by Isa, you are in trouble. A slow moving yet a serious danger and you are unaware of this. Isa appears in a reading when you are in some sort of danger. Isa is a hostile energy, inimical to the experience of Life and Living.

If you draw the Isa Rune in your reading, it is like a cold shock, a harsh energy. Keywords for Isa include ice, stillness, immobility, harshness, restriction, constriction, frustration, coldness, ego, selfishness, blindness. Isa is the 11 th Rune of the Elder Futhark Rune set.
