This rune, by virtue of representing the sun, is closely associated with the astrological sign Leo, which is ruled by the sun. This gives considerable insight into its meaning. Leo is a sign that likes to enjoy life and have fun; it is also a very proud sign and one that lieks to be at the center of things, basking in people’s attention.

Thus when Sigel appears in a reading it can imply that the querent has been overstretched of late and is in need of a rest, to take time away from the pressures of everyday life and just enjoy him- or herself. It may also signify that the querent is in a situation that he or she needs to take control of. Perhaps the querent has been worrying about something recently, yet was feeling unable to make any positive move to alter the situation, and this has left them feeling curiously out of sorts. Once again the advice must be to return to the center of affairs and take control.

The sun has traditionally been associated with vitality and vigor, so the surrounding runes in a cast give some hint to the querent’s state of health. On the other hand, if Sigel is close to very positive runes this means that the querent is at the peak of his or her powers. Sigel can further be seen as the principle of “the guiding light”, the beacon that lights the way. So on the material level its appearance may well signify that the querent is in need of help, needing someone or something to arise and show them the way forward. This may also be true on a spiritual level, in which Sigel may signify that the querent should seek, or will soon find, a spiritual guide.
