Overview

Hard truths surface around loss or inheritance. Conflict may rise, and honesty with the family is what lets it settle.

Governing Influences

  • Ọ̀yẹ̀kú Méjì — endings, the ancestors, the unseen world, mortality (Ikú (Death) / Ọ̀sun)
  • Ọ̀kànràn Méjì — conflict, truth-telling, sharp consequences (Ọya / Ògún)

Guidance

Resolve disputes openly and fairly, especially over what the departed have left behind.
