• Lunar position ~ Capricorn – Should conflict arise, it may be due to feeling off your game or it may be that emotions are in flux. Let your discomfort subside through vigorous activity such as walking, running, or martial arts (Moon square Mars). A weak conjunct between the Moon and Pluto may still be impacting your emotions today so try to understand the meaning behind your reactions and transmute them to Spirit awareness. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.
• Significant Aspects that may inspire or inform magickal workings:
  • Sun (9th/Scorpio) sextile Saturn (12th/Capricorn) – the opportunity for increased responsibility that leads to success is present
  • Mercury (9th/Scorpio) opposite Uranus (3rd/Taurus R) – suggests the need to think outside the box and approach a situation with a unique perspective while respecting the views of others
  • Venus (8th/Libra) square Saturn (12th/Capricorn) – self-assertion and controlling fear of confrontation is the issue
  • Jupiter (12th/Capricorn) conjunct Pluto (12th Hs/Capricorn) – enthusiasm in balance with ego expression
  • Jupiter (12th/Capricorn) conjunct Pallas (12th/Capricorn) – involves maximizing a strategic approach and manifesting from a higher perspective
  • Saturn (12th Hs/Capricorn) conjunct Pluto (12th Hs/Capricorn) – describes expressions of power and the value of self-discipline
• Polarity – Masculine (7), Feminine (16)
• Elemental Influence ~ Earth and Water are having the strongest influence, expect adaptability and compassion for others as well as practical/security concerns to be strongest.
• Energetic Quality/Mode ~ Fixed qualities are strongest and you should feel that things are more stable today. That said, Cardinal (motivating) forces are increasing.
• Rays ~ the 4th Ray of harmony through conflict continues its strong effect on our interactions with others; Rays 1 (will/power), 3 (active intelligence), and the 7th Ray (ceremonial order/magick) contribute as well. Interesting that the 5th Ray of concrete knowledge and science is having less of an impact during this time of COVID-19. The 2nd Ray of love/wisdom is remains roughly the same as yesterday, however the 6th Ray of devotion/idealism is lessening suggesting a greater clarity or truth may be taking hold. With the planet still feeling the greater effects of the 6th Ray, devotion and idealism can take the form of fanaticism, so are we beginning to see a more realistic perception take hold as the current deceptive forces are rendered impotent?
• Black Moon Lilith ~ Taurus — remaining in your comfort zone is tempting, but it also signals an unwillingness to take risks toward a better outcome.
• Node influences ~ N Node – Gemini; S Node – Sagittarius describes the need for self-control and focus on a spiritual perspective. The challenge involves understanding the viewpoints of others as well as expressing your own in a helpful manner. Avoid self-defeating behavior.
• Lunar Phase ~ New on 14 Nov 2020 at 9:08 PM PST at 23°Sco17′; 1st Qtr on 21 Nov 2020 at 8:46 PM PST at 00°Pis20′
• Mansion of the Moon ~ 23rd – Caadebolach – 12°Cap51’26” – swallowing; divorce, freeing of prisoners, healing
• Retrograde ~ Chiron (allow for inner transformation, letting go of past woundings); Neptune (let go of illusion and discern the truth); Uranus (allow for the unexpected and focus on change from within)
