Numerology ~ 4/21/2021
- Life Path – 3 – describes a life path or destiny that involves creativity and the development of self-expression.
- Day – 3 – triplicities, self-expression, communication, detail-oriented, optimism
- Challenges – respecting and understanding the feelings of others and keeping ego in check
Rune Divination ~ Raidho, Fehu, Laguz – today’s divination involves wealth (Fehu) created or stemming from harmonious (Raidho) flow (Laguz). With today’s numerology of three, triplicities are implied, suggesting the component of mind/body/Spirit balance could also be involved. The harmony could refer to collaborative efforts with other people, but this divination has a more inner feeling to it, especially considering the day’s numerology. It may be that perceptions have been scattered and a more integrated approach is necessary so that the momentum literally flows toward success. Laguz also implies dropping resistance which faulty perception can create. It also implies letting go of attitudes or behavior that prevents a positive outcome.
Lunar position – Leo – With the Moon in Leo, others may be drawn to your social nature. Plan an online gathering if you cannot gather together safely in person yet to reconnect with family and friends. It’s been a difficult year and everyone, including you, needs some nurturing right now. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.
Sign strength – Taurus, Gemini, and Aquarius provide the strongest sign influence today with Gemini signaling the qualities of many ideas and communication-oriented, curious/superficial, overly chatty, and scattered thinking/perception/focus; Taurus influencing stability, values, routine, stubbornness, and self-indulgence; and Aquarius providing a group consciousness and humanitarian approach that may also rebel against the status quo.
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/Mercury/Venus – suggests asserting oneself while remaining in harmony with others
- Sun/Mercury/Venus/Uranus – describes an innovative approach to interactions with others
Additional Aspects
- Mercury (12th/Taurus) trine Vesta (4th/Virgo) – indicates a focus on sacred areas of study
- Venus (11th/Taurus) conjunct Uranus (12th/Taurus) – describes a need for individuality within relationships
- Venus (11th/Taurus) trine Vesta (4th/Virgo) – indicates that hearth and home provide a comfortable space for you to nurture and develop relationships with others
- Venus (11th/Taurus) sesquisquare Juno (7th/Sagittarius) – indicates the need for balancing the nurturing of self and others
- Saturn (9th/Aquarius) square Uranus (11th/Taurus) suggests insecurity surrounding authority and compromise.
- Uranus (12th/Taurus) trine Vesta (4th/Virgo) – suggests balancing a spiritual concern for the greater good and a motivation to help others with taking care of oneself as well
- Neptune (11th/Pisces) square Juno (7th/Sagittarius) – describes the need to see others realistically, especially when providing assistance or selecting a partner
The Ascendant – Gemini – a Mutable sign that suggests movement, activity, versatility, interaction-oriented, chatty, and sometimes superficial or scattered. A square with Vesta indicates the importance of including ritual and a sacred focus within your life, while a semisquare with Ceres cautions that conflict may arise over how nurturing occurs within close relationships.
Black Moon Lilith ~ 12th House/Taurus — You may resist change while in Taurus and it may be difficult to move out of your comfort zone. In the 12th House of endings, things that are hidden (fears, enemies), the collective unconscious, karma, and service to others, Lilith’s darker side may impact relationships with others, with fear at the heart of a more solitary existence.
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 (sextile the South Node) suggests an enthusiastic attitude that can direct you into achievement in many areas

- Pallas square the N Node/S Node suggests a new strategy may be beneficial when understanding the viewpoints of others

Rays ~ The 4th Ray of harmony through conflict and the 5th Ray of concrete science and knowledge continue their strongest impact today suggesting that we’re drawing information from a higher source that then informs our discussions with others.
