The Forecast for Thursday, 15 July 2021
Thursday is governed by Jupiter. Below are its corresponding energies as well as the current transit chart for the witch’s perusal. ~ et incipit magia
Magickal focus ~ Jupiter governs, social justice, healing, abundance, income, growth, achieving goals and desires.
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 ~ neutral – refer to the section on Lilith, the fact that Chiron is stationing retrograde today, as well as today’s rune divination to craft a ritual or working that acknowledges inner woundings in an effort to temper the wild child within. This will likely involve trancework and it may be helpful to create a sigil for Lilith as a focus. Using a magick square and a numerology table, write down LILITH, removing any double letters (I, L) and then find the remaining letters (LITH) on the numerology chart and then convert them to their corresponding numbers, in this case 3, 9, 2, and 8. From there, use the magick square to draw the sigil. Use it as a focus to invoke the spirit of Lilith into your awareness. It’s also typical to remove any vowels, but that wouldn’t give us much of a sigil, so it’s acceptable to leave in the “I” for this situation. You can use this same process when crafting a runic sigil as well, replacing the letters of the alphabet with the runes. We hold on to too much and a ritual to absorb the message and then let go of the woundings is important to do periodically, even if only to purify and cleanse our thoughts.

Lunar position – Virgo until Libra at 7:32 AM PDT – Now that the Moon is in Libra, you may be interested in beautifying your surroundings. In the 2nd House of possessions, this is the perfect time to look for just the right item to enhance the look of your home. You’ll want to exercise a little restraint, however, so that you leave room in the budget for other expenses.

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

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 Vesta (2nd/Virgo) – suggests an independent and investigative focus that you apply to business endeavors
- Pluto (6th/Capricorn R) trine Ceres (10th/Taurus) – indicates strong nurturing of others

- 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. A square with retrograding Jupiter asks you to step outside your comfort zone and not allow inner woundings to guide your experiences while a trine with Vesta reinforces this by cautioning against a hypercritical approach.
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 – 15th – Algafra – 1°Libra; covered flying; finding treasure, digging holes or pits, creates tension and discord as well as divorce, destroys homes and enemies, and interrupts travel
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; Chiron (Stationing) – reflect on inner woundings, apply their message, and then move on; Upcoming retrogrades to be aware of: Eris (5 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) – low impact (decrease) – extending unconditional love, compassion, and understanding is significantly less today
- 3rd (active intelligence) – strong impact (increase) – adaptability to new ideas and understanding is strong 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 impact (decrease) – 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
