Dagaz is the twenty-third rune of the Elder Futhark and the seventh rune of Tyr's Ætt (although it is sometimes placed last in the runic alphabet after Othala, and there will be more on that at the end of this post if you're interested).
Tyr's Ætt is associated broadly with spiritual forces and how they relate to the experience of humanity. To learn more about the ættir and runes, check out our post on The Elder Futhark Ættir and Their Significance.

Dagaz Upright Meaning
The meaning of Dagaz is slightly similar to that of Jera. However, whereas Jera points to harvesting manifestations from seeds planted and hard work, Dagaz represents the inevitable dawn. Darkness will inevitably be brought to light and vice versa. It highlights the synthesis of powers and the balance between extremes.
Dagaz is representative of hope. Things are constantly in flux, as The Law of Rhythm (closely relating to The Law of Polarity) highlights. Dagaz could indicate finally leaving a dark night of the soul.
Dagaz Reversed Meaning
Dagaz has no reversal.
