Magickal Correspondences

Numerology~ 9/17/2021

  • Life Path – 22 – this profound Master Number for the Cosmic Builder describes a life path or destiny involving selflessness and humanitarian service to others
  • Day – 8 – strength, leadership, greater awareness, material gain and recognition

Rune Divination ~ Mannaz, Fehu, and Tiwaz comprise today’s rune divination suggesting that we allow the spiritual warrior within to rise up on behalf of others in preservation of our collective truth or legacy. Mannaz, a rune that describes both humanity and the individual within society, establishes the legacy of harmony and shared purpose. It’s known as the thought rune, asking us to meditate on who we are in relation to each other. It suggests that each one of us the other side of self to others as they are to us and we fulfill our potential when realizing that truth. Tiwaz, as the spiritual warrior within, invokes the belief justice and right action. As the rune of the powerful Norse god, Tyr, Tiwaz asks us to sacrifice for the greater good and for the sake of our collective family. Fehu, representing our transactional nature, helps us to understand that our greatest wealth is not found in what we own, but in the relationships we preserve and protect with others. As the sending rune, use Fehu to cast this greater intention to the collective consciousness.


Lunar position – Aquarius – If upsets or delays occur, remain calm and above the fray. Adapt to changes and be ready for the unexpected to occur, especially from close partners. In other words, embracing a radical or unconventional approach could lead you to new and exciting experiences. 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

  • Sun/Vulcan/Mars – as a new spiritual path opens today, guard against a lack of impulse control
  • Vulcan/Mars/Ascendant (Libra) – raise your vibration high so that Higher Self informs your interactions with others

Yod

  • Sun/Jupiter R/Eris R – reevaluation may be needed regarding how you express yourself to others to avoid any appearance of grandiosity or overreaction

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

  • Sun (12th/Virgo) trine Pluto (4th/Capricorn R) Orb 00°S32′ – your leadership skills are strong and you have a positive effect on others
  • Mercury (1st/Libra) quincunx Neptune (6th/Pisces R) Orb 00°A26′ – calls for a more realistic approach to new ideas and decisions today
  • Venus (2nd/Scorpio) square Saturn (4th/Aquarius R) Orb 00°S25′ – issues with early parental authority may leave you unable to deal with conflict or confrontation and self-assertion may be impacted
  • Saturn (4th/Aquarius R) semisquare Neptune (6th/Pisces R) Orb 00°A37′ – suggests manifesting a creative approach to daily tasks or a health-oriented situation

Goddess-oriented Planetary Interactions

  • Sun (12th/Virgo) quincunx Eris (7th/Aries R) Orb 00°A33′ – describes balancing your own unconventional approach with the expectations you have of others
  • Jupiter (5th/Aquarius R) sextile Eris (7th/Aries R) Orb 00°S40′ – involves expression of social justice; reevaluation may be needed to avoid fanaticism
  • Pluto (4th/Capricorn R) square Eris (7th/Aries R) Orb 00°S06′ – describing potential hidden agendas by others, or inner woundings that may impact self-mastery

  • Vesta (1st/Libra) semisquare Juno (3rd/Sagittarius) Orb 00°A01′ – indicates some tension surrounding interactions with close partners with expectations or boundaries a potential issue
  • Ceres (9th/Gemini) conjunct Aldebaran at 10°Ge05 indicates success is related to how much integrity we demonstrate in the process

The Ascendant – Libra – a masculine, cardinal sign that suggests an individual who is concerned about others, initiates or takes action, and prefers harmony over conflict. At times, Libra individuals can rely too much on the reactions from others and can be indecisive, weighing out each side of a situation to the point of making no decision at all. A trine with Saturn suggests you’re motivated to succeed while the same with Lilith indicates instinct or intuition may be valuable.

Black Moon Lilith ~ 9th 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 9th House of higher education, journeys, religion, and values, this may be challenging with Lilith’s darker side potentially vulnerable to the judgment of others. Ideally, you need to accept the wild child within, respect your intuition and perception, while balancing discernment with engaging respectfully with others. This applies to work situations as well and the need to keep your competitive attitude under control. The way through such is to focus on compassion and nurturing relationships with both self and others.

  • Mercury sesquisuare Lilith (Orb 00°A31′)
  • Venus quincunx Lilith (Orb 00°A03′)
  • Saturn trine Lilith (Orb 00°A32′)
  • Ceres conjunct Lilith(Orb 03°S57′)
  • Lilith conjunct The North Node/opposite The South Node (Orb 01°S40′)

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.

  • Lilith conjunct The North Node/opposite The South Node (Orb 01°A32′)

Lunar Phase ~ Waxing; Crescent (self-assertion and the ability to accept challenges); 1st Qtr on 13 Sep 2021 at 1:40 PM PDT at 21°Sg16; Full on 20 Sep 2021 at 4:55 PM PDT at 28°Pi13

Mansion of the Moon – 25th ~ Caadalhacbia (The Star of the Dungeons) – 8°Aq34′; butterfly spreading forth; revenge and attack, destroys enemies and fosters divorce, reinforces buildings and prisons, useful in spells that prevent sexual intercourse and fosters impotence in men

Retrograde ~  Jupiter – inner reflection is warranted, centering 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; 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 – reflect on inner woundings, apply their message, and then move on; Eris – time to explore and reevaluate your expression of feminine power to maximize your potential; Uranus – stations retrograde today and indicates a focus on esoteric studies and original thought. Upcoming retrogrades to be aware of: Mercury Pre Shadow (retrograde in 10 days – 25°Lib28); Ceres (21 days – 12°Gem08′). Planets leaving retrograde: Jupiter (30 days – 22°Aq19); Saturn (23 days – 06°Aq52); Pluto (19 days – 24°Cp18)


Polarity – The Masculine (projective, active) and Feminine (receptive, passive) are in relative balance today

Elemental Influence ~ Elemental Air (intellect, reason, justice, interaction) is having the strongest impact today, with Water (emotions, compassion, empathy) next in strength. Earth (material concerns, physical presence) follows, with Fire (will, creativity, motivation) having no impact at the time the chart was cast.


Ray Influences – significant changes are in bold. Today’s effect of the 1st Ray on our expression of will continues to impact how we assert ourselves to others suggesting that creativity, inspiration, and motivation are less. However, even with the 3rd Ray decreasing a bit in strength today, adaptability to new ideas is still very strong. The low impact of the 4th Ray still indicates that cooperative efforts may become more challenging to achieve. But with the increased effect of the 5th Ray influence on scientific knowledge and what we fundamentally know to be true, scientific knowledge may have a greater impact on the mindset and decisions of those under the thrall of others whose agenda is focused on disruption and disharmony. Lastly, looking at the balance between the 2nd (love/wisdom) and 6th (devotion/idealism) Rays, the 2nd Ray’s current effect on the expression wisdom and love places it in balance with ideology expressed by the 6th Ray, signaling that the struggle between wisdom and ideology will likely continue today.

  • 1st (will/power) – low impact (decreasing) – creativity and inspiration are having a very low influence as are motivation and self-assertion
  • 2nd (love/wisdom) – medium impact – the impact on extending unconditional love, compassion, and understanding remains at the same level
  • 3rd (active intelligence) – very strong impact (decreasing) – adaptability to new ideas as well as overall understanding remains very strong today
  • 4th (harmony through conflict) – low impact – signals that cooperative efforts and understanding cause and effect are still challenging today
  • 5th (concrete knowledge and science) – low/medium impact (increasing) – suggests that the impact of scientific knowledge is having an increased impact on our mindset and decisions
  • 6th (devotion/idealism) – medium impact – The 6th Ray of devotion and idealism is typically kept in check by a strong 2nd Ray influence. Too much ideology or too much devotion affects our ability to view our experiences or beliefs in a realistic manner. Refer to the note above to show the relationship between the shared impact of the 2nd and 6th Rays
  • 7th (ceremonial order/magick) – low/medium impact (decreasing) – organization and general order may be more challenging to achieve today
