my solstice birthday rune is gebo X, partnership, a gift. so appropriate, and the gift i got from r. is a group of stones, with one individual quartz for each of us. we both are attracted to the smoky quartz wand, and i'm letting go my initial covetousness, and loving the family of stones that rest on a lepidolite lithium mica base for rest and charging and calming anxiety. r. gets the smoky, which is grounding. i get the clear, which amplifies energies.
so my rune.

drawing this rune is an indication that partnership in some form is at hand. in love relationships, in partnering of any kind, you are put on notice not to collapse yourself into that union. for true partnership is achieved only by separate and whole beings who retain their separateness even as they unite. 
at the same time there is another aspect of partnership that you are being called to consider. for the path of partnership can lead you to the realization of a still greater union—union with the higher self, union with the divine. the ultimate gift of this rune is the realization of the divine in all things: god always enters into equal partnerships. 
gebo, the rune of partnership, has no reverse, for it signifies the gift of freedom from which flow all other gifts. 

in my library queue i have gebo and the shadow. now i'm curious to see.
