Magickal Forecast for Wednesday, 31 March 2021
Wednesday is governed by Mercury. Below are its corresponding energies as well as the current transit chart for the witch’s perusal. ~ et incipit magia
Magickal focus ~ Mercury influence, communication, interactions, balance, justice, revelation
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 ~ very bad/excellent – today depends on how you see the date itself. We can assume it’s like the 30 and considered very bad, but without that number on the chart I’m using, we don’t really know. So, if we reduce the 31 to 4 then we have an excellent day for magickal workings. So, if you’re brave, focus on magicks that support healthy communication with others along with revealing that which is hidden. Citrine on the altar, especially if you have one that is not heat-treated, is useful in communication workings and burning benzoin for clarity in a cauldron may be helpful as well.

Rune Divination ~ Ehwaz, Thurisaz, Eihwaz – reciprocity is key in today’s rune divination beginning with the intuitive bond we share with others signified by Ehwaz, and ending with Eihwaz, the link between realms. Visually, both runes incorporate the rune, Laguz in their expression. Ehwaz presents as Laguz forward and reversed as they meet in the middle, while Eihwaz expresses Laguz forward and reversed, but in an as above so below depiction, not so much meeting in the middle as a blending or infusion of Spirit into physical form. Ehwaz retains some individuality while Eihwaz describes complete energetic immersion. In the center, Thurisaz breaks through challenges and barriers while providing protection and new beginnings. Together the divination suggests that our intuitive bond we share with others is protected and preserved by aligning with our Higher Self or Spirit presence.
Lunar position – Scorpio until Sagittarius at 10:59 PM PDT; VOC from 5:28 PM PDT to 10:58 PM PDT – Your ability to listen is appreciated today as well as your ability to express compassion for another’s concerns.

Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.
