Jera Upright Meaning
Jera represents the fruition of manifestation and the harvest of the seeds you have sown. "Jera" means year, and it is the only rune that is made of two separate parts. This duality perhaps represents the wheel of the year and the stark difference between summer and winter despite both being two sides of the same coin.
The depiction of the unification of supposed opposites may also be considered in relation to The Law of Polarity.
Jera refers to the natural law and order of the universe. The intentions and desires you put out, thus creating a manifestation vacuum, will come in to fill that vacuum. While Jera is a sign that now is a time to enjoy your bounty and reap the rewards, be mindful of the seeds that you plant for the future.
In a love reading, it could refer to the culmination of something such as getting together, a marriage, or a desired pregnancy.
Jera Reversed Meaning
