The Forecast for Wednesday, 14 July 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 governs, 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 ~ excellent – Given today’s revelatory divination, performing a spell or working to reveal greater truth may be in order. After casting your circle or creating your sacred space, burn some benzoin in the cauldron to initially purify the space followed by frankincense for revelation. Include fluorite and citrine (especially one that isn’t heat-treated) on the altar to increase awareness and understanding. If you have some celestite, that might also be a good crystal to include given its higher resonance. Get comfortable, achieve a trance state and move your awareness to above the earth, calling in higher resonance beings into your circle to assist you in raising the earth’s frequency. Doing so affects everything and everyone on the planet. Some Reiki masters do this to provide an earth healing and it’s a lovely way to give others the opportunity to experience and tune into a higher vibration. From there, join together and bathe the earth in pink light (or whatever color that represents a higher vibration in your mind). Intend for the light to heal divisions and strengthen bonds between the Earth and her inhabitants. If you desire, visualize the color changing to perhaps green for additional healing, or silver or gold, to invoke Goddess light and awareness. When you ready, return to full consciousness, with your own frequency vibrating at a higher level.

Numerology ~ 7/14/2021

• Life Path – 8 – this describes a life path or destiny involving material achievement, recognition, and leadership
• Day – 5 – change, protection, freedom, creativity
• Challenges – taking a self-determined path, and controlling oversensitivity while remaining sensitive to the needs of others

Rune Divination ~ Wunjo, Ehwaz, and Kenaz comprise today’s rune divination where we awaken to the truth that we flow in a greater, fundamental harmony with others. Kenaz has been appearing either in its single form or contained within many of the runes that have been part of the daily rune divination over the last few months. In my opinion, its message involves awakening and ascension to higher vibrational resonances with the remainder of the divination focusing in on the more specific aspects of that awakening. The same is true here with today’s rune divination. Wunjo (containing Kenaz turned inward/reversed) describes the joy found in fellowship with others. Ehwaz, incorporating the flow of Laguz forward and reversed, describes the intuitive or soul-level bond we share with others. Ehwaz defines our collective aspect of Self and our astral relationship manifested into form. Taken together, the runes define who we are to each other and what really matters in the end.

Lunar position –  Virgo – Remain flexible and open to the input from others as well as the unexpected. Intuition is strong and others may come to you for advice. However, if the internal drama is too much, it may be that you’re asked to make a choice you’d rather not make. If that occurs, make your expectations clear and follow your heart. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.

Significant Aspects or patterns that may inspire or inform magickal workings.

Stellium – Venus/Mars/Ascendant – your interpersonal power is enhanced by your friendships and self-assertion needs to honor those relationships by extending compassion and love.

Additional Aspects (Goddess planets, Lilith, Nodes, and Ascendant aspects follow in their own categories)

• Venus (1st/Leo) conjunct Mars (1st/Leo) – suggests expectations of others may be too high and a less risk-averse approach may be necessary

Goddess-oriented Planetary Interactions

• Pluto (6th/Capricorn R) trine Ceres (10th/Taurus) – indicates strong nurturing of others
• Pluto (6th/Capricorn R) square Eris (9th/Aries) – describing the reevaluation of a possible obsessive focus on the path to self-mastery (Seltzer)
• Vesta (2nd/Virgo) opposite Pallas (8th/Pisces R) – indicates that organization may be challenging
• Juno (4th/Sagittarius R) sesquisquare Eris (9th/Aries) – defines the masculine/feminine power structure within partnerships with the challenge to speak truth while still respecting boundaries

The Ascendant – Leo – a masculine, Fixed sign that suggests that behavior is purposeful, self-disciplined, and reliable. Although typically generous and sincere, Leo individuals can be arrogant and prideful and need to learn to balance power with compassion.

• A semisquare with Mercury suggests you may experience frustration in self-expression with authenticity a challenge
• A conjunct with Venus suggests that image is important
• A conjunct with Mars signals the willingness to take risks.

Black Moon Lilith ~ 10th House/Taurus — You may resist change while in Taurus and it may be difficult to move out of your comfort zone. In the 10th House of career, standing, and authority, interactions may be challenging with Lilith’s darker side potentially manipulating others to achieve power and control.

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.

• Juno R opposite The North Node/conjunct The South Node reinforces the need to hear the viewpoints of partners and be sensitive to their needs and feelings

Lunar Phase ~ New Moon on 9 July 2021 at 6:17 PM PDT at 18°Cn01; 1st Quarter on 17 July 2021 at 3:11 AM PDT at 25°Lib03

Mansion of the Moon – 13th – Alsarfah – 21°Leo25′; tail of Leo; increases harvest, obstructs sailors, promotes care for employees and captives

Retrograde ~  Jupiter – inner reflection is warranted and in Pisces, it centers on discovering inner truth; Neptune – discernment is a factor in this retrograde where you look within to determine truth from fiction and arrive at a more realistic understanding of the truths that surround you; Juno – suggests a look inward in how you select, commit to, and interact with partners in your life; Saturn – reassess boundaries and how your structure your life; Pluto – inner transformation is favored; Pallas – reassess your overall understanding of situations and observe patterns as they unfold; Upcoming retrogrades to be aware of: Chiron (1 day), Eris (6 days)

---

Polarity – the feminine polarity is having the strongest impact today

Elemental Influence ~ The Fire (creativity, initiation, motivation), Earth (material concerns), and Water (compassion, emotions, empathy, change) elements are having the greatest impact today. Air (intellect, reason, balance) provides much less of an influence.

---

Ray Influences – significant changes are in bold

• 1st (will/power) – strong impact – creativity or inspiration are strong today as is self-assertion
• 2nd (love/wisdom) – medium impact – extending unconditional love, compassion, and understanding may improve today
• 3rd (active intelligence) – medium/strong impact – adaptability to new ideas and understanding is better today
• 4th (harmony through conflict) – low/medium impact – signals that cooperative efforts and understanding cause and effect may be very challenging today
• 5th (concrete knowledge and science) –medium/strong impact – suggests that scientific knowledge is having an good impact on our mindset and decisions
• 6th (devotion/idealism) – low/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. With the 6th Ray’s increased effect, perception/ideology theoretically may be more difficult to manage but with the 2nd Ray at the same strength, wisdom may overshadow gullibility or at least keep it in check.
• 7th (ceremonial order/magick) – medium impact – organization and general order are easily managed today
