Introduction:

Ur or Uruz symbolises the, now extinct, auroch (a wild bison). These animals were prized for their great strength and relative speed. The were also significant as the hunting of these creatures formed part of a 'rites of passage' for young warriors.

Interpretation:

Upright.
The strength to break through and move on. Ur is a sign of new beginnings, a time to shake off the past and to take advantage of new opportunities. Remember before each new beginning must come an ending and endings can be an emotional time but know that, ultimately, it will be to your benefit.

Live each day to its fullest, knowing that from every ending comes new life. Do whatever it takes to succeed and seize each moment so you will never come to regret missed chances.

A favourable time for high risk ventures.

Inverted.
Signals a possible time of ill health, lack of vitality or general weakness. May manifest itself in weak will power or lack of clarity in thought.

A potential threat or weakening of position will require careful consideration and planning if it is to be dealt with successfully. There is a potential advantage to be gained but it may require an extraordinary or unusual act to capitalise.
