Sunday, 21 February 2021

Esoteric Influences

  • Numerology – 3 – Self-Expression, Entertainment, Optimism, Imagination, and Friendliness; reason, mental acuity, detail-oriented 
  • Rune – Dagaz – Water, new day, dawn, endings and beginnings, conclusion, daylight, awakening, all doors open, all options available 
  • Geomancy – Conjunctio – Earth, Mercury in Virgo, joining, union, alignment, detail-oriented, agreement, precision, expectation; Taphthartharath, Cassiel
  • Moon – Gemini until Cancer at 7:52 PM PST (VOC – 10:39 AM PST to 7:52 PM PST)
  • Human Design Channels – Openness – balances openness with restraint

Dagaz appearing today signals that all doors are open as you stand on the precipice of something new, while Conjunctio’s influence invokes alignment with others in shared purpose. Sunday’s three numerology provides an optimistic outlook as it supports a new direction in your relationships with others as you embark upon a new path of experience together.

With the Moon still in Gemini until it shifts into Cancer in the evening, you have a transformative impact as you foster increased harmony and balance in your interactions with others. Empathy for the concerns of others is strong on Sunday and you naturally want to provide compassion and support where needed. If necessary, gather the information you need to strategize the most appropriate plan of action so that the best outcome is possible.

The Gate of Openness is active in Sunday’s Human Design chart suggesting that you balance openness with restraint reinforcing the need for an appropriate strategy when dealing with challenges. The placement of both The Moon and Venus supports the same by taking a pragmatic approach in both belief and action so that collaboration with others is possible. Although this may involve a shift in perception, know that this shift will empower your choices as well as personal growth.

Favorability for working magick: neutral. Magickal workings today can involve alignment and healing. You may find the rune, Dagaz, to be useful in a three candle spell, for example, to illustrate past, present, and future. Carve it into the center candle to illustrate one door closing and a new one opening. Anoint the candles a ritual oil for healing and roll the candles in some dried vervain for healing and alignment.


Aspects:

  • Moon trine Vulcan
  • Moon trine Venus
  • Moon square Neptune
  • Moon trine Pallas

Magickal Correspondences

  • Magickal Focus – Sun, clarity, truth, healing, courage, removing barriers, leadership
  • Element – Fire
  • Color – Gold, yellow
  • Crystal – emerald, topaz, bloodstone, chrysolite
  • Resin – mastic, frankincense, copal, saffron, red sandalwood, cinnamon, honey
  • Herbs – Angelica, juniper, calendula, hyacinth, rosemary, mint, ivy, pepper, vine, sunflower, cedar, marjoram, bay, vervain, gentian, Dittany, ginger, peony, balm, marigold, heliotrope

Monday – 22 February 2021

Esoteric Influences

  • Numerology – 22 – Master Number, Cosmic Builder, manifestation
  • Rune – Nauthiz – Norn (Skuld) rune of the future, friction within, inner fire, goals, protection, overcoming restriction, binding, positive change, need 
  • Geomancy – Amissio – Earth; Venus in Taurus; loss, sacrifice, hesitant to engage; needs reliability, insecure; Kedemel, Hagiel 
  • Moon – Cancer
  • Human Design Channels – none

The presence of Amissio suggests feelings of loss or insecurity may be experienced on Monday, either by you or others. Invoke your inner will with Nauthiz, the Norn rune of the future, to rise above any challenges you experience. And with Monday’s Master 22 cosmic builder energy in play, you may find that solutions are within reach especially if collaborating with others.

Now that the Moon is in Cancer, you may feel like retreating a bit to focus on home and hearth as well as those closest to you. Although your ideas are original, you may be cautious and less likely to assert yourself when expressing those ideas to others. This may stem from early childhood woundings where you felt misunderstood by family or friends. Although it may feel risky, consider letting go of perceptions that no longer serve the present moment.

Maintain your inner balance irrespective of the situation on Monday and accept assistance where needed. Know that a collaborative approach will draw in the experience required for success especially when faced with difficult challenges or limitations. Remain flexible and sensitive to the needs of others and avoid a pessimistic attitude that could thwart progress.

Favorability of working magick: very good. Monday’s magickal workings can involve purification and realignment into Higher Self perceptions. Use the cosmic builder energy of the 22 in a trance state to manifest new perceptions surrounding self and others. Focus on drawing in the white light of Spirit to both the Root and Throat Chakras to feel secure and improve self-assertion. Burn mugwort in the cauldron to assist in achieving a trance state. 


Aspects:

  • Moon trine The Sun
  • Moon quincunx Saturn
  • Moon sextile Uranus

Magickal Correspondences

  • Magickal Focus – Moon, feminine magicks, healing, intuition, cycles, reincarnation, astral travel, balance, change
  • Element – Water
  • Color – Silver, white
  • Crystal – Pearl, moonstone, selenite, beryl, marcasite
  • Resin – White sandalwood, camphor, aloe, myrrh
  • Herbs – almond, mugwort, moonwort, yellow ranunculus, palm, lily, willow, violet, poppy, fennel, iris

Tuesday, 23 February 2021

Esoteric Influences

  • Numerology – 5 – freedom to restriction and approach tasks in an innovative manner. Travel, Usage of Freedom, Creativity, Variety and Innovation
  • Rune – Wunjo – Earth element, joy, wish rune, peace, fellowship, harmony, success, happiness
  • Geomancy – Rubeus – Water (Fire – Agrippa), Mars, Scorpio (Gemini), passion, evil 
  • Moon – Cancer (VOC 8:53 PM PST to EOD)
  • Human Design Channels – none

Passion runs high on this Mars energy day and issues of freedom versus restriction may impact your mood. Use the energy of Wunjo to maintain harmony with others should conflict arise and avoid a misuse of power influenced by Rubeus.

You may need to balance your own needs with those of others today. If frustrations arise when expressing yourself, step back from the situation to regain your inner balance. Intuition is strong today and should be relied upon to guide your reactions.

Know that although a focus on materialism can benefit not only you but also others, a self-disciplined approach will be required for that to be experienced by all involved. Change is possible now that but only through a shift in perception or action on your part particularly if the self-restraint required is in service to a higher goal. Challenges experienced now are best dealt with in harmony with others so if called to a leadership role today, express your vision with clarity and resolve.

Favorability of working magick: very good. Magicks that reduce conflict may be in order on Tuesday. Burn basil and/or dragon’s blood resin in a cauldron for self-empowerment and to keep the Lilith effect in balance. Or if using candles in your working, you can anoint them in oil and then roll them in dried basil or nettle.


Aspects:

  • Moon semi square The Sun
  • Moon trine Neptune

Magickal Correspondences

  • Magickal Focus – Mars influence, passion, manifestation, creativity, self-assertion, reducing conflict
  • Element – Fire
  • Color – Red, rust
  • Crystal – Amethyst, bloodstone, loadstone, diamond, jasper
  • Resin – Juniper, dragon’s blood, red sandalwood
  • Herbs – Absinthe, cayenne, basil, asafoetida, rue, garlic, black pepper, nettle, wormwood, onion, mustard, leeks, ginger, wolfsbane, thorny trees (Hawthorn)

Wednesday, 24 February 2021

Esoteric Influences

  • Numerology – 6 – love, empathy, benevolence, compassion, harmony, guidance
  • Rune – Kenaz – Fire, torch, light, illumination, clarity, revelation, healing, well-being, love, intuition, transformation, creativity, awakening.
  • Geomancy – Amissio – Earth; Venus in Taurus; loss, sacrifice, hesitant to engage; needs reliability, insecure; Kedemel, Hagiel
  • Moon – Cancer until Leo at 4:23 AM PST (VOC until 4:22 AM PST)
  • Human Design Channels – Community – seeking to be part of a greater whole

Use the influence of Kenaz to light the way for others today as you express benevolence, compassion, and guidance. Understand that people are hurting right now whether it be over losses experienced surrounding the virus and its impact on daily life or with the weather events around the country. Offer assistance but remember to protect yourself in the process.

As the Moon travels into Leo in the early hours of the morning, your leadership skills may be helpful. Keep things light and let go of perceptions or behavior that might cause stress and keep you from moving forward. Plan an online gathering with friends, particularly with the women in your life, or take time in nature, even if it’s in your backyard. Listen to the concerns of others and let your intuition be your guide.

Make every effort to set the example for harmony with others so that a sense of shared values is preserved. Make any course corrections needed to pursue a successful outcome that supports growth and empowerment. Respect boundaries and remain flexible for this is a time for selfless service and interdependence with others.

Favorability of working magick: very bad. Although the outlook for working magick isn’t the best today, take time to include energetic support that will shore up any working you might choose to do. Determine the hour when Venus is in play (For this example, I’m using Portland, OR as the location, PST where Venus governs hours beginning at 12:23 PM and 6:52 PM) and work your magick during those times for working spells for benevolence and harmony. Otherwise, wait until a more comfortable day.


Aspects:

  • Moon quincunx Vulcan
  • Moon trine Ceres
  • Moon trine The Ascendant (Aries)

Magickal Correspondences

  • Magickal Focus – Mercury, communication, interactions, balance, justice, revelation
  • Element – Air
  • Color – yellow, purple
  • Crystal – Agate, emerald, fluorite, topaz, citrine, red marble, topaz
  • Resin – benzoin, gum arabic, frankincense
  • Herbs – marjoram, horehound, bergamot, cinnamon, lavender, caraway, cloves, licorice, mullein, peppermint, star anise, hyssop

Thursday, 25 February 2021

Esoteric Influences

  • Numerology – 7 – balance, magick, spirituality, analytical, meditation, truth seeking, observer role
  • Rune – Tiwaz – Air, spiritual warrior, faith, justice, idealistic male, oaths, sacrifice, Tyr, legal matters
  • Geomancy – Puella – Air; Venus in Libra, happiness derived from balance, harmony, intellectual interaction, superficiality, girl, pleasant, not too fortunate, scattered, fickle, passionate, highly emotional, ambivalent, short term happiness; balances Puer; Kedemel, Hagiel
  • Moon – Leo
  • Human Design Channels – Community – seeking to be part of a greater whole

Thursday’s seven numerology balances Puella’s somewhat scattered influence with Tiwaz, the spiritual warrior within. Puella is governed by Venus in Libra with harmony and balanced interactions favored while Tiwaz tends toward a more justice-oriented focus. So, you may feel at odds in how you express harmony and balance today. If that happens, take a step back to let the situation settle before interacting further.

Strike a balance between intellect and emotions on Thursday so that you avoid any self-doubt or self-indulgence. Instead focus on moderation in all things to keep any mood swings or excessive behavior at bay.

It’s up to you to set the example for cooperation with others but if you need some time to reevaluate what that looks like, then by all means take it. If in a leadership role, delegate responsibilities to others so that progress continues; however, avoid superficiality and a pessimistic attitude that may impact trust. A higher goal is in sight and everyone needs to contribute positively to that experience.

Favorability of working magick: very bad. Again, working magick isn’t favorable on Thursday, however that doesn’t have to stop you from meditation or trance work. So, light your cauldron and burn some basil or hyssop to cleanse the area while you commune with the Goddess.


Aspects: 

  • Moon opposite Mercury
  • Moon opposite Jupiter
  • Moon square Lilith

Magickal Correspondences

  • Magickal Focus – Jupiter, Higher Self, Venus, harmony, balance, perfection, Taurus, benevolence, peace, health, truth, marriage, rebirth, Merkaba
  • Element – Air
  • Color – Blue
  • Crystal – sapphire, jasper, emerald
  • Resin – balm, ambergris, saffron
  • Herbs – basil, agrimony, mints, dandelion, borage, bugloss, wood betony, hyssop, henbane, poplar, oak, plum, fig, meadowsweet

Friday, 26 February 2021

Esoteric Influences

  • Numerology – 8 – leadership, greater harmony with others, achievement, success, acknowledgement
  • Rune – Othala – Earth, sacred space, ancestral heritage, Akash, protection, prosperity, balance, loyalty, tradition, security, peace, inheritance, possessions
  • Geomancy – Fortuna Major – Fire; Sun in Leo; greater fortune, success, ego, achievement, spotlight; perfectionistic, micromanaging, self-reinforcing, inner assistance, protection; Sorath, Nalchiel
  • Moon – Leo until Virgo at 9:08 AM PST (VOC – 3:31 AM PST to 9:07 AM PST)
  • Human Design Channels – Community – seeking to be part of a greater whole

Security and protection are on your mind today as you move in harmony with others. With Friday’s eight numerology, material success reinforces the prosperity influenced by Othala, the 24th rune of the Elder Futhark that describes our sacred space and ancestral heritage. Fortuna Major influences your success as well but with one caution. Avoid micromanaging anything or anyone today.

As the Moon travels into routine-oriented Virgo, order becomes important as does a need for perfection. You may also need to balance your needs with those of others so that your own need for perfection doesn’t create impatience or unrealistic expectations of others.

Remain balanced and take an evenhanded approach and avoid influences that are negative especially those that slander others and undermine trust. Know that success is empowered when you engage in harmony with others so remain alert for unexpected situations that support success and growth.

Favorability of working magick: very good. Work a protection spell not only for safety concerns but one that also preserves harmony with others. It’s living in shared purpose that keeps us on the same path and a protection ritual can facilitate that union. Trance work may also be useful if you’re accustomed to working in the Akashic field. Othala can be used as a visualization window into that realm.


Aspects

  • Moon opposite Venus
  • Moon square Mars

Magickal Correspondences

  • Magickal Focus – Venus, compassion, love, harmony, attracting a partner, partnership issues, female sexuality, fertility, healing, friendship
  • Element – Water
  • Color – Green, rose
  • Crystal – Turquoise, lapis lazuli, beryl, rose quartz, coral
  • Resin – sandalwood, ambergris, musk, orris root
  • Herbs – apple, rose, myrtle, bugloss (alkanet), burdock, feverfew, lilac, marshmallow, vervain, valerian, thyme, coriander, pears, elder, pomegranate, passionflower, raspberry, strawberry, blackberry, vanilla, yarrow, violet, plantain

Saturday, 27 February 2021

Esoteric Influences

  • Numerology – 9 – endings, completion, idealism, generosity, kindness, humanitarianism
  • Rune – Eihwaz – Air/Fire, connection between opposites, as above so below, link between realms, trance work, protection 
  • Geomancy – Tristitia – Earth, Saturn in Aquarius; sadness, grief, evil, sorrow, condemnation, evil in all things, fortification, protection, grudges, quick tempered, secretive; Zazel, Agiel
  • Moon – Virgo – Full Moon
  • Human Design Channels – Community – seeking to be part of a greater whole

Although it may feel you’re making progress today and turning a new corner, Trisitia’s influence over emotions signals you may experience increased grief and the need for emotional protection today. In view of that, you may wish to take time for some inner work or meditation to regain your emotional balance.

If you’re feeling indecisive on Saturday, this may reinforce the need to balance your ego with your emotions. A breakthrough is possible, though, if you’re willing to let go of perceptions that don’t serve the truth. Your well-being matters so take time for rituals that involve meditation and creative pursuits.

Reject negativity of all kinds and seek harmony with friends and family today. Success is inevitable so stay calm and in the flow with others. Respect contributions from others while respecting both their values and boundaries and remain open to new ideas and experiences.

Favorability of working magick: very good. A purification working may be in order today so that you rebalance your emotions. Anoint a candle with some cypress essential oil and burn some myrrh in the cauldron to purify your emotions and Spirit. You can’t be of assistance to anyone if you’re out of balance yourself, so begin there and see where else you need to go.

  • Moon opposite The Sun
  • Moon opposite Vulcan
  • Moon quincunx Mercury
