Uruz takes its name from the aurochs, the mighty wild ox of the ancient world — a symbol of raw, untamed power. It represents primal strength, vitality and the life force that drives growth and endurance. Where Fehu is domesticated wealth, Uruz is the wild, instinctual energy that cannot be owned, only harnessed. It is the rune of physical health, courage and elemental power.

Reversed, Uruz warns of weakness, misused strength or a loss of vitality and drive. It can indicate domination, brute force applied without wisdom, or health and energy at a low ebb.
