Monday is governed by the Moon. Below are its corresponding energies as well as the current transit chart for the witch’s perusal. ~ et incipit magia
Magickal focus ~ The Moon governs, feminine magicks, healing, intuition, cycles, reincarnation, astral travel, balance, change
Time
- Dawn – healing, new beginnings, study, purification
- Noon – strength, opportunity, success, protection, wealth

Favorable/Unfavorable for Magick ~ very bad – instead of working magick today, you might plan the ritual or working for Wednesday’s Full Flower Moon and Full Blood Moon eclipse. It’s happening early in the morning where I live (4:13 AM PDT/eclipse; 4:14 AM PDT/Full Moon) so the last thing I want to do is to be gathering everything up in the middle of the night.

Lunar position – Scorpio – If tensions arise, you might be reacting to conflict caused by another individual. Choose your response wisely so that you don’t exacerbate the situation. If you’re feeling off-balance or at loose ends, you may benefit from a walk in nature or some other meditative focus. Take care of your own needs and the rest will follow. How you express yourself may impact the outcome. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.
Sign strength – Gemini, Cancer, and Pisces provide the strongest sign influences today influencing how we express and receive nurturing (Cancer); Compassion and intuition factors in with the addition of Pisces; and, interactions flow with Gemini.

Elemental Influence ~ The Water element is strongest today suggesting compassion, empathy, and flexibility are present.
Energetic Sign Quality/Mode ~ Mutable (flexible) sign qualities are strongest today suggesting adaptability or flexibility are required.
- 1st (will/power) – lesser impact – the expression of will is less today, creativity or inspiration may be reduced
- 2nd (love/wisdom) – strong impact – unconditional love, compassion, and understanding are easily offered to others
- 3rd (active intelligence) – medium impact – adaptability to new ideas is experienced but may need reinforcement
- 4th (harmony through conflict) – medium impact – signals that understanding cause and effect may be challenging and mediation may not go smoothly
- 5th (concrete knowledge and science) – medium impact – suggests that scientific knowledge is having a lesser impact on our decisions or has found integration within the same and isn’t as much of a factor given its general acceptance; intolerance of new discoveries may occur.
- 6th (devotion/idealism) – medium impact – The 6th Ray of devotion and idealism is a tricky influence in that if the 2nd Ray is less, we typically see an increase in gullibility and a single-minded approach. In other words, too much ideology or too much devotion affects our ability to view our experiences or beliefs in a realistic manner. That it has decreased from last week is a blessing and with the 2nd Ray still having a stronger effect, the more delusional aspects of this effect may be kept under control.
- 7th (ceremonial order/magick)- medium impact – organization and general order should be easily maintained today
