• Life Path – 1 – describes a life path or destiny that involves individuality and leadership ability

Rune Divination ~ Thurisaz, Sowilo, and Gebo comprise today’s rune divination suggesting that we break through barriers and obstacles (Thurisaz) by balancing the polarity within (Sowilo) and without (Gebo). Thurisaz, as Thor’s rune, breaks through both internal and external challenges while Sowilo provides an as above so below quality or directionality to allow the light of Spirit to flow through our experiences. Gebo, the rune of balanced energy exchange, then extends that light to others. Inherent in all three runes is Kenaz, or the torch, representing that All Seeing Light.

Lunar position –  Scorpio until Sagittarius at 8:43 AM PDT; VOC 5:31 AM PDT to 8:42 AM PDT – As the Moon travels into Sagittarius during the morning, you may feel like setting out on an adventure. That said, if responsibility calls, hang in there, especially if others are relying upon you for guidance or leadership. Given that your relationship with co-workers is important to you, it’s best not to abandon them to your own desires. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.

Sign strength – Taurus, Scorpio, and Aquarius provide the strongest sign influence today with 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. Scorpio brings intensity and perceptivity to the experience.

The Ascendant – Gemini – a Mutable sign that suggests movement, activity, versatility, interaction-oriented, chatty, and sometimes superficial or scattered.

• A trine with Saturn signals the energy to make your mark in a variety of careers
• A square with Pallas may indicate a new strategy is forming, possibly affected in some way by others

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. A sextile with Neptune counsels stepping outside your own focus and aligning with nature to balance your fear.

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
• Pluto sesquisquare The North Node/semisquare The South Node seems to suggest transformation surrounding both how you see past as well as the future
• Chiron trine the South Node indicates that profound growth from a difficult situation or illness in your life may benefit others
• Pallas square the N Node/S Node suggests a new strategy may be beneficial when understanding the viewpoints of others

Lunar Phase ~ Crone phase; Full on 26 Apr 2021 at 8:32 PM at 07°Sc06′; 3rd Qtr on 3 May 2021 at 12:51 PM PDT at 13°Aq35

Mansion of the Moon – 19th – Exaula – 21°Sco25′; tail of Scorpio; fosters attacking cities and towns, forces people to leave their homes, destroys sailors and prisoners

Retrograde ~ Juno – suggests a look inward in how you select, commit to, and interact with partners in your life; Pluto – inner transformation is favored.

---

Polarity – Masculine (8), Feminine (15) – feminine or receptive polarity is strongest suggesting compassion and empathy today

Elemental Influence ~ Air, Water, and Earth elements are having the strongest impact today. Fire (will, creativity) is still having no effect today

Energetic Sign Quality/Mode ~ Fixed sign qualities are strongest suggesting stability and routine are favored today.

---

Rays ~ The 4th Ray influence involves mediation, balance, as well as trial and error. It continues its strong impact today and with the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th Rays (love/wisdom, active intelligence, and concrete knowledge/science) next in strength, it suggests that we’re drawing information from a higher source with reasoned intelligence informing our interactions with others.

The 1st and 7th Rays are all having a lesser effect suggesting that manifesting what we want today may not depend upon self-assertion.

Finally, the 6th Ray of devotion and idealism is increasing somewhat today signaling the hold on ideology is increasing. That said, the stronger 2nd Ray effect should help keep any extreme 6th Ray expression in check.
