The Forecast for Tuesday, 27 July 2021

---

Tuesday is governed by Mars. Below are its corresponding energies as well as the current transit chart for the witch’s perusal. et incipit

Magickal focus ~  Mars governs, passion, manifestation, creativity, self-assertion, reducing conflict

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 ~ very good – In a sense, today’s rune divination involves manifestation which is energetically governed by powerful and catalytic Mars. As I write this, I’m watching the January 6 Commission hearing, listening to four members of law enforcement who were present and/or harmed that day as they protected Members of Congress and others at the Capitol. It appears that the committee will need to hold the line in a manner that many Republican members refuse to do and if a witch is so inclined s/he can work a spell to reveal the truth of what happened and who was involved in the insurrection on that horrible day. It reminds me of the collective binding that some in the community felt needed to happen after the 2016 election. It’s almost as if the insurrection actually began with that election with January 6 its logical conclusion. I’ll leave it to the witch to determine how to express the sentiment, but it appears that another turning point has been reached and supporting the revelation of truth is required of us now. Law enforcement stood with our lawmakers on that fateful day. Standing with them now is the least we can do.

Rune Divination ~ Algiz, Perthro, and Othala comprise today’s rune divination where we decide who controls our fate or destiny and how that affects our traditions and legacy. Although it seems as if others have that power, it is, in truth, our own choices that determine our perspectives and the direction our life takes. A higher perspective is necessary and Algiz provides that flow of Spirit into our thoughts and choices. Perthro, as the rune of fate, forces us to choose whether to let someone perceived to be more powerful determine our path or whether we stand up for what we want. Othala defines where we begin and the reciprocity with which we engage with others. Will the tradition expressed be shared or will we go it alone? And how will higher awareness influence that choice?

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

T-Square – Pluto R/Eris R/Vulcan/Mercury – reflection is necessary for how assertively you express yourself to others

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

• Mars (1st/Leo) opposite Jupiter (7th/Pisces R) – suggests reflection is required so that grandiose or excessive behavior is controlled.

Goddess-oriented Planetary Interactions

• Mercury (11th/Cancer) trine Pallas (8th/Pisces R) – indicates the ability to convey the greater picture to others
• Venus (1st/Virgo) square Juno (4th/Sagittarius R) – suggests expressions of love to a close partner may be challenging
• Mars (1st/Leo) square Ceres (10th/Taurus) – offers the opportunity to express compassion to others
• Mars (1st/Leo) trine Eris (9th/Aries R) – suggests strong self-assertion and the ability to speak truth to power
• Jupiter (7th/Pisces R) square Ceres (10th/Taurus) – suggests reevaluating how you express and receive nurturing from others
• Pluto (5th/Capricorn R) square Eris (9th/Aries R) – describing the reevaluation of a possible obsessive focus on the path to self-mastery (Seltzer)

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 conjunct with Mars signals the willingness to take risks
• An opposition with Jupiter R suggests that engaging with others is important
• A sesquisquare with Chiron R indicates that illness is possible or that challenges will arise during this time that seem impossible to overcome
• A quincunx with Pallas R suggests not getting caught up in a single-minded focus but one that looks at the greater picture or patterns that are emerging
• A square with Ceres counsels a nurturing or compassionate approach to others
• A trine with Eris R indicates reevaluation of self-expression and how you express the feminine aspect of power

Black Moon Lilith ~ 10th House/Gemini — Interactions will flow smoothly while Lilith is in Gemini as long as you listen to the input from others. That said, 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. While an opposition with retrograding Juno warns indicates partnerships may be challenging, a conjunct with Ceres is asking you to express yourself in a compassionate manner. A semisquare with Eris R challenges you to assert yourself in a manner that is clear and respectful for the boundaries with others, and a square with retrograding Jupiter suggests it’s time to expand your opportunities.

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.

• Venus square The North/South Nodes suggests a decision is necessary surrounding both love and finances
• 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

Mansion of the Moon – 28th – Arrexhe – 17°Pis8′; Pisces; increases harvest, protects travelers on a dangerous journey, increases joy between married couples, reinforces prisons and loss of possessions

Polarity – the feminine polarity is the strongest today

Elemental Influence ~ The Fire (creativity, initiation, motivation) and Earth (material concerns, physical form), and Water (compassion, emotions, empathy, change) are having the strongest influence today. Air (intellect, reason, balance) is having a lesser effect.

---

Ray Influences – significant changes are in bold

• 1st (will/power) – strong impact – creativity and inspiration are strong today as is self-assertion
• 2nd (love/wisdom) – medium impact – extending unconditional love, compassion, and understanding should be easier today
• 3rd (active intelligence) – low impact – adaptability to new ideas and understanding may be impacted today
• 4th (harmony through conflict) – low impact – signals that cooperative efforts and understanding cause and effect may be challenging today
• 5th (concrete knowledge and science) – strong impact – suggests that scientific knowledge is having a significant impact on our mindset and decisions (possibly pandemic-related and/or 1/6 Commission-related)
• 6th (devotion/idealism) – medium impact (in balance with the 2nd Ray) – 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 and even with the 2nd Ray at the same strength, idealism or gullibility may be impacting outcomes today.
• 7th (ceremonial order/magick) – low impact – organization and general order are impacted today
