Rune Divination ~ Dagaz, Raidho, Perthro – as we stand on the precipice of new experiences, we move forward in harmony with others as we take control of our collective fate. Dagaz represents a new day or one phase ending and another beginning, while Raidho involves integrated movement with others. Perthro, as the rune of fate, suggests that we decide who controls our future. Is it the Norns or is it each one of us, individually and collectively?
Lunar position – Taurus until Gemini at 4:48 PM PDT; (VOC – 1:39 PM PDT to 4:47 PM PDT) – While the Moon is still in Taurus, a conjunct with Vulcan provides the energy for the aforementioned shift in perception, giving you the strength and will to overcome perceptions that have left you feeling challenged. Although you enjoy interactions with others, your idealism may prove uncomfortable for others who are less likely to look for alternative solutions. As the Moon travels into Gemini in the afternoon, you may experience some indecision, but it may be due to your emotional balance being off. If so, step back and allow your emotions to settle before proceeding. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.
Sign strength – Pisces provides the strongest sign influence today involving expressions of sensitivity and compassion for others.
Significant Aspects or patterns that may inspire or inform magickal workings. The Ascendant, North/South Nodes, as well as Lilith aspects are in their own categories below:
Stelliums (power interactions)
- Sun/Vulcan/Venus – this 3-point stellium reinforces letting go of habits and perceptions that no longer serve to foster creative and/or loving self-expression along a new path forward.
- Sun/Vulcan/Chiron – involves the courage to heal childhood woundings and instead using those experiences to offer compassion to others in pain or difficulty.
Yod (focal point – Vesta)
- Vesta/Saturn/Ceres – With Vesta (6th/Virgo), as the focal point of the Yod, suggests that focus or commitment to one thing or another is lost or at least challenged. Saturn and Ceres sextile provides Vesta some assistance by nurturing Vesta toward strong organizational skills.
Additional Aspects
- Mercury (12th/Pisces) conjunct Pallas – counsels a new strategy surrounding interactions may be required today regarding problem-solving
- Mars (2nd/Gemini) sextile Chiron (12th/Aries) – indicates invoking the inner will to speak on behalf of others
- Mars (2nd/Gemini) trine Saturn (11th/Aquarius) – suggests that self-discipline is strong
- Saturn (11th/Aquarius) square Uranus (1st/Taurus) – describes issues with authority and compromise furthered on by inadequacy.
- Neptune (12th/Pisces) square Juno (9th/Sagittarius) – describes the need to see others realistically, especially when providing assistance or selecting a partner.
- Chiron (12th/Aries) conjunct Ceres (12th/Aries) – this provides the sensitivity to not only see your own childhood woundings with clarity but to assist others in the same process.
Ascendant – Aries – Self-reliance, dedicated, focused describes the Aries personality. You take initiative and approach tasks with enthusiasm. Challenges are perceived as purposeful and your many ideas provide a variety of solutions.
Aspects include: North Node sextile/South Node trine The Ascendant – indicates strong self-expression and influence over others. Can be superficial or manipulative. (weak influence)
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.
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. A trine between the North Node and Saturn suggests an enthusiastic attitude that can direct you into achievement in many areas.
Lunar Phase ~ Waxing, Crescent; New Moon on 13 Mar 2021 at 2:22 AM PST at 23°PI03; 1st Qtr on 21 March 2021 at 7:41 AM PDT at 01°Can12
Mansion of the Moon – 5th – Almices – 21°Tau25′; fosters return from travel; increases scholarship; reinforces structures; promotes good health and good will
Retrograde ~ Vesta – now in Virgo, look inward to better define your expectations of others so that you respect their boundaries, input or expertise
Polarity – Masculine (7), Feminine (16) – receptive or feminine polarity is strongest today.
Elemental Influence ~ Earth and Water (material concerns/emotions) are the strongest influence today with Fire and Air less of an influence.
Energetic Sign Quality/Mode ~ Mutable sign qualities are strongest today indicating flexibility and adaptability are influencing.
Rays ~ The Rays remain the same as yesterday with the 2nd Ray (love/wisdom) having a stronger effect on the 6th Ray of devotion and idealism. This is critical so that cult-like belief structures are called out for what they are.
The 1st Ray (will/power) is next in influence and along with the same for the 7th Ray (ceremonial order/magick) is suggests that our will is powerful enough to manifest the love and wisdom from the 2nd Ray.
Although less than the 1st, 2nd, and 6th Rays, the 3rd Ray of active intelligence is at the same strength as the 4th Ray of harmony through conflict indicating an underlying truth that wishes to be revealed, likely concerning the aforementioned cult-like belief structure of the current conspiracy movement affecting our country.
The 5th Ray of concrete knowledge and science, is having the least impact today, suggesting that science (likely involving the pandemic) has either been accepted or that it’s less of a focus today.
