Magickal Forecast for Wednesday, 19 August 2020

---

Wednesday is governed by the planet Mercury. Below are its corresponding energies for the witch’s perusal.

Current Outlook

• Lunar position ~ Leo until Virgo at 1:21 AM PDT – Pay attention to how you’re managing stress today and avoid a self-critical attitude. Stay hydrated and avoid over-eating. Spend time nurturing others to awaken that aspect of self within (Moon semisquare Juno).
• Sign ~ Leo – generous, powerful, dramatic, proud, arrogant
• Elemental Influence ~ Fire provides the strongest elemental influence suggesting will and motivation are strong followed by practical concerns (Earth) and emotional balance/expression (Water).
• Energetic Quality/Mode ~  strong Fixed energies provide stability today and with Cardinal energies initiating as well, a new path forward can be embraced. However, as Mutable energies are severely reduced today, adaptability may prove challenging.
• Houses ~ 10th – public life, standing, authority, career, life direction, achievement
• Rays ~ The 1st Ray of will/power provides the strongest influence followed by the 5th Ray of concrete knowledge with both organized by the 7th Ray of ceremonial order and magick.
• Black Moon Lilith ~ 6th House/Aries — organization may prove challenging and you may not realize how that impacts others. Additional issues may also arise surrounding self-assertion.
• Node influences ~ N Node – 8th Hs/Gemini; S Node – 2nd Hs/Sagittarius describes the need for self-control and focus on a spiritual perspective. The challenge involves understanding the viewpoints of others.

• Mansion of the Moon ~ 13th – Alhaire – 4°Vir17; dog stars/wings of Virgo; fosters compassion, travel, harvest, gain, freedom of captives
