Rune

BEORC 


This is a fertility rune- a rune of birth and of the family. It often represents your mother or your children, and it usually indicates an event which brings joy to the family, such as, birth or a wedding. BEORC represents your true home, the "home where your heart is"
This rune always presages a birth, whether it is an actual birth or the formation of an idea. 
Reversed it will usually indicate family problems and domestic troubles. It shows friction between you and those closest to you. 

EHWAZ



EHWAZ is a rune of physical movement, physical shifts, or new dwelling places. Its main significance is change, but a change for the better and usually an anticipated one. It stands for gradual development and steady progress. 
Reversed  EHWAZ is the one rune that does not automatically assume a negative meaning. If grouped with positive runes, it can mean exactly the same reversed as it does upright. Sometimes this indicates a far journey. In some cases it can show an unexpected change. Unless associated with negative runes, it is not likely to be a bad change. When it is associated with negative runes EHWAZ's councel is to hold fast and not implement any changes you may be considering at this time as they are likely to result in misfortune and loss. 



Tarot


XVII The Star


Upright, The Star, means hope, love, rebirth, pleasure, satisfaction, purpose, and guidance. 
The reverse represents disappointment, pessimism, crushed dreams, bad luck, and imbalance.


XVIII The Moon

The reverse means minor deceptions avoided.
