Introduction:

This rune represents Tyr, the Norse god of war, depicted as a spear. The symbol was often painted on shields. Tyr protects both physical and spiritual warriors. Tuesday derives its name from Tyr.

Interpretation:

Upright.
Now may be the time to stand and fight for what you know to be right. It is a time for courage, bravery and daring. Fight with passion and victory will be yours.

A good time for romantic encounters.

Inverted.
Defeat is staring you in the face, a wise leader knows when it is time to lay down his arms. There is nothing to be gained by continued resistance, the constant battles only serves to drain and weaken you.
