The aurochs was a huge wild ox, fierce and impossible to tame. Uruz is that primal strength: health, stamina, courage and the determination to push through. It often appears when you're stronger than you realize.
Reversed (merkstave): Low energy, or strength misused. Rest and rebuild before charging ahead.

Where am I underestimating my own strength?
Rune reading is a reflective practice rooted in Norse and Germanic tradition. It doesn't predict a fixed future. You're always the one who decides.
