Instead, we reject division and remain collectively consciousness of who we are to each other.

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 containing the darker aspects of self and the control of one’s ego that may impact self-expression. Lilith’s weaker square with Jupiter cautions against excessive behavior. (see aspects with the Ascendant for additional info)
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 and respectful manner. Cooperation with others is necessary and may be difficult to achieve (Sun square N Node/S Node). A trine between Jupiter and the North Node (sextile the South Node) suggests that past efforts will yield positive results in the future possibly in a communication-oriented field (Mercury trine The N Node).

Rays ~ The 2nd Ray of love and wisdom along with the 6th Ray of devotion and idealism present the strongest Ray influences today signaling a focus on asserting one’s ideals. The fact that they’re both at the same strength indicates that wisdom will balance any extremist thought patterns or behavior.
The 1st Ray of will and power and the 7th Ray of ceremonial order and magick are next in strength and in balance with each other suggesting that truth is favored and organized in a way that can be presented to others.
The 4th Ray of harmony through conflict has increased its influence, suggesting that achieving a shared understanding may be less of a challenge today. However, the 3rd Ray of active intelligence and the 5th Ray of concrete knowledge and science are both less of an influence suggesting that understanding the truth may be impacted.
