“Water under a Bridge”

Time may be running out on mending any challenged relationships, so take advantage of this time to smooth things over & come to a new understanding. The presence of Ehwaz promises a positive partnership of opposites forming something new. So even if you couldn’t see eye to eye in the past or if you still remain on opposing fronts, it should not change the bond that can be. Ehwaz is a rune of forward movement towards a common goal heralding an advancement of a connection based on trust- the journey of a friendship. However, it it’s on you to take advantage of this time sensitive opportunity before it passes, as the Hourglass urges you to act before it’s too late. Time can be a friend or your enemy here.   Time can be the best salve as any past upsets can dissipate as days or weeks stretch on but it can also widen the chasm between partnerships. Of course, there are friendships that come & go appearing for only a season in life, but here the cards are referring to the deeper connections that sometime hit troubled waters. These kinds of friends provide symbiotic partnerships; provide compensation for what we ourselves lack and are generally present at times when we need support. These close relationships are never static & must move or evolve to stay viable.  Ehwaz, a rune of trust, cooperation, loyalty & movement often works as a bridge between one rune to another rune in a reading. It  illustrates the progression from one stage of life to the other. Perhaps this time will help  transition you to a new stage in your relationship. Like a bridge providing support, it can allow you both to continue on your journey together without being bothered by the old water that passes beneath it. I can’t help but hear that old tune….“I'm on your side, oh, when times get rough. And friends just can't be found Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down”.
