Sunday, 9 May 2021

• Numerology – 9
• Rune – Tiwaz
• Geomancy – Caput Draconis
• Moon – Aries until Taurus at 4:47 PM PDT; VOC from 3:49 PM PDT to 4:46 PM PDT
• Human Design Channels – Structuring (expressing individuality)
• Magickal Focus – Sun, clarity, truth, healing, courage, removing barriers, leadership
• Favorability for working magick: excellent

It’s clear that one phase is ending and a new one is beginning. Allow the spiritual warrior within expressed by the rune Tiwaz to rise up and set an example for others to follow whether it’s concerning a project, relationship, or new perceptions.

With the Moon in Aries and the 11th House of relationships, you balance the need for personal time with spending time with friends and family. That said, you may also find that you’re drawn to drama during the morning and afternoon hours. Do what you can to diffuse any conflict by nurturing others, particularly the women in your life.

The Channel of Structuring active in today’s Human Design chart reinforces the energy of today’s rune, Tiwaz, and you benefit from sharing your perspective with others without undermining their values. In fact, by remaining open to their input, your inspired leadership nurtures their growth. Avoid a superficial approach and your authority will be well-received.

Aspects:

• Moon square Pluto
• Moon trine Juno
• Moon conjunct Ceres
• Moon conjunct Eris

Magickal Correspondences

• Element – Fire
• Color – Gold, yellow
• Crystal – emerald, topaz, bloodstone, chrysolite
• Resin – mastic, frankincense, copal, saffron, red sandalwood, cinnamon, honey

Monday – 10 May 2021

• Numerology – 1
• Rune – Hagalaz
• Geomancy – Puer
• Moon – Taurus
• Human Design Channels – Structuring

• Magickal Focus – Moon, feminine magicks, healing, intuition, cycles, reincarnation, astral travel, balance, change 
• Favorability of working magick: very good

Use your magick today to cast the intention for new beginnings that both heal and reestablish relationships with others. Allow your thoughts to settle to avoid scattering your energy in too many different directions, and choose a less impulsive response.

Now that the Moon is in Taurus, your need for routine and stability increases. That said, your unique approach to challenges and new experiences may prove beneficial, especially if it involves the more sacred aspects of life. 

Let go of any intolerance experienced with others and rededicate yourself to perceptions that lead to insight and success. Establish more realistic boundaries and avoid any choices stemming from gullibility or dogmatic beliefs. If you need to disengage with the group at all today, do so to correct any misperceptions you might have.

Aspects:

• Moon conjunct Uranus
• Moon trine Vesta

Magickal Correspondences

• Element – Water
• Color – Silver, white
• Crystal – Pearl, moonstone, selenite, beryl, marcasite
• Resin – White sandalwood, camphor, aloe, myrrh
• Herbs – almond, mugwort, moonwort, yellow ranunculus, palm, lily, willow, violet, poppy, fennel, iris

Tuesday, 11 May 2021

• Numerology – 11
• Rune – Algiz
• Geomancy – Albus
• Moon – Taurus; New Moon at 11:59 AM PDT
• Human Design Channels – Structuring, Transitoriness (multitasking)

• Magickal Focus – Mars influence, passion, manifestation, creativity, self-assertion, reducing conflict
• Favorability of working magick: excellent

A Master number day, today’s eleven numerology promises illumination and awakening. Draw down the energy of Algiz and Higher Self consciousness into your interactions with others and allow the wisdom of Albus to guide your path.

The New Moon in Taurus has you setting new intentions surrounding your need for basic security and safety. It may also include a focus on extending compassion to others or changing your approach to any challenges that arise. Moon rituals aside, a conjunct between the Moon and Lilith indicates the potential at least for increased moodiness, so be aware of how you come across to others today.

With the addition of the Channel of Transitoriness in today’s Human Design chart, your unique ability to multitask increases and you may attract the attention of others. Remain humble in your expectations of each member of the group, however, and avoid insisting they follow your process if another path works as well.

Aspects:

• Moon conjunct The Sun
• Moon sextile Pallas

Magickal Correspondences

• Element – Fire
• Color – Red, rust
• Crystal – Amethyst, bloodstone, lodestone, diamond, jasper
• Resin – Juniper, dragon’s blood, red sandalwood
• Herbs – Absinthe, cayenne, basil, asafoetida, rue, garlic, black pepper, nettle, wormwood, onion, mustard, leeks, ginger, wolfsbane, thorny trees (Hawthorn)

Wednesday, 12 May 2021

• Numerology – 3
• Rune – Uruz
• Geomancy – Carcer
• Moon – Taurus until Gemini at 5:43 AM PDT; VOC from 5:23 AM PDT to 5:42 AM PDT
• Human Design Channels – Structuring, Transitoriness

• Magickal Focus – Mercury, communication, interactions, balance, justice, revelation
• Favorability of working magick: neutral

Let go of outmoded ideas and attitudes and approach the day with optimism and joy. With the energy of Uruz, you allow new thought patterns to form as your perceptions continue to shift toward harmony with others.

Now that the Moon is in Gemini, chattiness increases as does your curiosity and you’re likely drawn to close friends or family today. However, if responsibility calls, do take care of necessary tasks, especially if in a leadership role with others who rely on your expertise and direct nature for guidance.

A fragmented approach can prevent progress as much as one that reflects a single-minded focus. Both limit awareness and clarity, and without discipline your ability to confront challenges could be impacted. Remain open to input from others as you proceed along a shared path.

Aspects:

• Moon conjunct Venus
• Moon square Jupiter

Magickal Correspondences

• Element – Air
• Color – yellow, purple
• Crystal – Agate, emerald, fluorite, topaz, citrine, red marble
• Resin – benzoin, gum arabic, frankincense
• Herbs – marjoram, horehound, bergamot, cinnamon, lavender, caraway, cloves, licorice, mullein, peppermint, star anise, hyssop

Thursday, 13 May 2021

• Numerology – 4
• Rune – Gebo
• Geomancy – Puer
• Moon – Gemini
• Human Design Channels – Structuring, Transitoriness

• Magickal Focus – Jupiter, social justice, healing, abundance, income, growth, achieving goals and desires
• Favorability of working magick: excellent

Give the gift of your time and support today to those who need you. Stay focused on routine tasks and take a pragmatic approach to your responsibilities. Use your time wisely and remain on track.

You exude a level of confidence that drives success as you put in the time necessary to support your future. Your intuition is strong today and you express yourself with both feeling and clarity. In fact, it’s when you listen to and follow your inner voice and embrace what resonates both emotionally and intuitively that you will achieve the greatest success.

As you continue on a new path, you may find that inspiration is cultivated by including others in the process who share your eagerness for change and progress. And although it may feel like a more risk-averse approach may be the best choice, be certain that it’s actually necessary before limiting yourself today.

Aspects: 

• Moon conjunct Mercury
• Moon trine Saturn
• Moon conjunct The North Node/opposite The South Node

Magickal Correspondences

• Element – Air
• Color – Blue
• Crystal – sapphire, jasper, emerald
• Resin – balm of Gilead, ambergris, saffron
• Herbs – basil, agrimony, mints, dandelion, borage, bugloss, wood betony, hyssop, henbane, poplar, oak, plum, fig, meadowsweet

Friday, 14 May 2021

• Numerology – 5
• Rune – Berkano
• Geomancy – Tristitia
• Moon – Gemini until Cancer at 6:31 PM PDT; VOC – 3:50 AM PDT to 6:30 PM PDT
• Human Design Channels –  Structuring, Transitoriness

• Magickal Focus – Venus, compassion, love, harmony, attracting a partner, partnership issues, female sexuality, fertility, healing, friendship
• Favorability of working magick: excellent

An innovative or creative approach to challenges may foster new experiences today. Let go of any sadness that leads to unnecessary judgment that can affect your interactions with others.

While the Moon shifts from Gemini to Cancer, you may experience increased emotions or if empathic, your empathic awareness may become stronger. You may also be drawn to some adventure today or at least a spirited conversation with others. If moodiness occurs, however, it may be that you need to channel that imbalance into a more nurturing or healing focus.

As a new paradigm forms, you’re ready to unite with others who believe in sacrifice for the benefit of the collective. And although you’re unwilling to allow deceptive forces to interfere with the shared path, any action must be taken in full clarity and truth.

Aspects

• Moon trine Jupiter
• Moon square Neptune
• Moon opposite Juno
• Moon sextile Eris

Magickal Correspondences

• Element – Water
• Color – Green, rose
• Crystal – Turquoise, lapis lazuli, beryl, rose quartz, coral
• Resin – sandalwood, ambergris, musk, orris root
• Herbs – apple, rose, myrtle, bugloss (alkanet), burdock, feverfew, lilac, marshmallow, vervain, valerian, thyme, coriander, pears, elder, pomegranate, passionflower, raspberry, strawberry, blackberry, vanilla, yarrow, violet, plantain

Saturday, 15 May 2021

• Numerology – 6
• Rune – Thurisaz
• Geomancy – Cauda Draconis
• Moon – Cancer
• Human Design Channels – Transitoriness; Emoting (emotional moodiness); Concentration (focus)

• Magickal Focus – Saturn, restriction, bindings, summoning, harvest, purification, protection
• Favorability of working magick: neutral

Break through any frustrations that occur today by controlling impulsive behavior or temper that only seems to instigate more of the same. Past mistakes can influence present choices as can your intuition, but know that safety and protection should remain a priority.

Now that the Moon is in Cancer, you may seek the comfort of home and nurturing from family today. In fact, you may look upon home as a place for sacred rituals that preserve your well-being. This could take the form of meditation, cooking a meal together with your family, or simply sharing in a conversation. It doesn’t really matter as long as you share some time with those you love today.

The Channel of Emoting appears in today’s Human Design chart signaling that some moodiness may arise, potentially increasing the need for self-restraint. Stay focused and shift your response if required, but know that in the long run, a cooperative experience will likely gain you more favor than will resistance.

Aspects

• Moon sextile Vesta

Magickal Correspondences

• Element – Earth
• Color – Brown, black
• Crystal – Onyx, jet, jade, emerald, sapphire, smoky quartz, marcasite, loadstone, brown jasper
• Resin – alum, sulfur, benzoin, balm of Gilead, myrrh
• Herbs – asafoetida, cypress, dragonwort, black hellebore, mandrake, opium, garlic, hemlock, ivy, mullein, nightshade, skullcap, St. John’s Wort, Solomon’s seal root, comfrey, boneset, pine
