Friday is governed by Venus. Below are its corresponding energies as well as the current transit chart for the witch’s perusal.
- Magickal focus ~ Venus influence, compassion, love, harmony, attracting a partner, partnership issues, female sexuality, fertility, healing, friendship
- Numerology ~ 1/8/2021
- Life Path – 5 – describes an individual who will experience many changes through life and adaptability will need to be cultivated. Managing freedom versus restriction is also a theme.
- Day – 8 – leadership skills, organization, and practicality are required today to achieve acknowledgment and success
- Challenges – balancing receptive/projective presence to avoid escapist behavior (7) as well as avoiding a scattered approach (3); balancing work and play (4)
- Rune Divination ~ Inguz, Ansuz, Tiwaz – signals the elevated thinking of the spiritual warrior and the expression of Higher Self-based interaction with others. Being able to see the greater picture.
- Time
- Dawn – healing, new beginnings, study, purification
- Noon – strength, opportunity, success, protection, wealth
- Sunset – letting go, release
- Night – spirituality, aligning with Spirit, healing, dreamwork, visions
- Favorable/Unfavorable for Magick ~ neutral
- Lunar position ~ Scorpio (VOC begins at 5:58 PM PST) – Reinforcing the passion of Rubeus, the Moon in Scorpio may also prove dramatic. If this extends to interactions with others, know that the Sun’s harmonious effect on the Moon promises positive and transformative interactions with others as does the same with Vulcan. Use your intuitive and gentle approach to extend compassion to all. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.
- Significant Aspects that may inspire or inform magickal workings:
- Stelliums (power interactions) – Mercury/Jupiter/Saturn – interactions that are both expansive and logical; Mars/Uranus/Lilith – describes out of the box thinking and risky behavior (with the addition of the Ascendant in Aries, it becomes a 4-point stellium)
- Thor’s Hammer (Jupiter, Uranus, Vesta) involves a diligent and patient approach to hard work and success
- Sun (10th/Capricorn) conjunct Vulcan (10th/Capricorn) – building life on your terms with courage and conviction
- Sun (10th/Capricorn) conjunct the Midheaven (10th/Capricorn) – involves legacy and career choice
- Mercury (10th/Aquarius) square Mars (1st/Taurus) – suggests scattered thinking and lost focus
- Mars (1st/Taurus) square Saturn (10th/Aquarius) – indicates balancing movement forward with hesitance and a conservative approach
- Jupiter (10th/Aquarius) conjunct Saturn (10th/Aquarius) – describes balancing freedom with restriction and the need for self-discipline and structure.
- Jupiter (10th/Aquarius) sextile Chiron (12th/Aries) – intuition is strong and will assist both yourself and others
- Uranus (1st/Taurus) conjunct Lilith (1st/Taurus) – signals out of the box thinking, strategy, and a resistance to restriction
- Ascendant – Aries – signals a direct approach, self-reliance, independence, motivated, unafraid of challenges, impulsive, may lack follow-through. Aspects follow:
- Mercury (10th/Aquarius) square the Ascendant (Aries) involves when to speak and when to remain quiet
- Venus (9th/Capricorn) trine The Ascendant (Aries) suggests charm and warmth in one’s relationships with others
- Mars (1st/Taurus) conjunct The Ascendant (Aries) suggests a spontaneous and individual approach to life
- Saturn (10th/Aquarius) square The Ascendant (Aries) indicates self-restraint is required
- Polarity – Masculine (7), Feminine (16) – receptive energies provide the strongest impact…time to watch and observe
- Elemental Influence ~ Earth (material matters, security) energies provide the strongest influence with Fire (will), Water (emotions), and Air (intellect, reason, balance) in relative balance with each other and having a lesser effect.
- Energetic Quality/Mode ~ Cardinal (initiating, motivating) energies are the strongest today with Fixed (stable) energies increasing.
- Rays ~ The 4th Ray of harmony through conflict is still present today, joining 1st (will/power), 3rd (active intelligence), and 7th (ceremonial order/magick) Rays in having the greatest impact on our decisions and perceptions. Both the 2nd Ray (love/wisdom) and the 6th Ray of devotion and idealism are significantly less of an impact which has contributed to the focus on conspiracy and away from scientific or objective truth. The 2nd Ray acts as a counterbalance to the 6th, and if in balance, it can provide a wiser influence on the cult-like effect of the 6th. In their present strength, there’s not much clarity happening as people caught up in the con are trying to figure out just what happened. The unraveling will be difficult. For further information, this post may be helpful.
- Black Moon Lilith ~ Taurus — remaining in your comfort zone is tempting, but it also signals an unwillingness to take risks toward a better outcome. In the 1st House of self and identity, the risk may involve balanced self-expression. A conjunct with Uranus suggests you don’t like restriction.
- Node influences ~ N Node – Gemini; S Node – Sagittarius describes the need for self-control and a focus on a spiritual perspective. The challenge involves understanding the viewpoints of others as well as expressing your own in a helpful manner. A quincunx between the North Node and The Sun indicates the need to live a more selfless life in service to others making an effort to control one’s ego. And, a square continues between Neptune in Pisces and both the North and South Nodes signaling a focus on fantasy or imagination and suggests that maintaining your physical health will help ground and center your perspective and provide a foundation for creative success.
- Lunar Phase ~ 3rd Qtr on 6 Jan 2021 at 1:38 AM PST at 16°Li17; New on 12 Jan 2021 at 9:01 PM PST at 23°Cap13
- Mansion of the Moon ~18th – Alchab 8d Scorpio 34m 17s
heart of Scorpio; creates discord, conspiracy; revenge against authority and from enemies, releases prisoners, helps structures - Retrograde ~ Uranus (allow for the unexpected and focus on change from within)
