Hey everyone!

Below you’ll find the current esoteric influences for the coming week. They include the day’s numerology, runes, lunar transits, as well as influences from the I Ching found in each day’s current Human Design chart. Note that both charts for each day, astrological and Human Design, are cast for 8:00 am. I’ve also added a section concerning retrograde planets. And for the magickally inclined, you’ll find a few correspondences to assist in spell work as well.

Have a magickal week and Blessings to all!

Retrograde Planets: 

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Ceres – reflect on the manner in which you extend/receive nurturing and consider whether or not your approach is balanced and respectful of boundaries, both your own and those of others.

Upcoming retrogrades to be aware of: Beginning retrograde – Venus (20 Dec – 26°Cp29); Leaving retrograde – Pallas (9 Nov – 09°Pi03′); Neptune (2 Dec – 20°Pi24); Chiron (20 Dec – 08°Ar26)

Samhain (Halloween) begins today and lasts until Monday. Carve the pumpkins, prepare your feast made from the season’s harvest and share a meal with family and friends. After sunset, with a bonfire (or smaller) burning, call the quarters and cast your circle. The veil is thin and loved ones who have passed are there to express their love and blessings as the Wheel turns and the new year begins. Write down what you wish to let go on a small piece of paper and toss it into the flames. This is the day for magick to fill your heart and soul.

All doors are open so be ready to explore new experiences. Let your intuition flow and express the love you feel for others. Celebrate the past year and all that you’ve learned and make plans for the future. Remain flexible and express your insights to others.

As one cycle comes to a close, a new one begins filled with the potential for self-mastery. Reflect on the past year to inform a realistic view of both the present and future. Harmony and a collaborative approach along with stepping outside your comfort zone will serve you best.

Monday, 1 November 2021

  • Numerology – 1
  • Rune – Ansuz (ᚨ) – Odin’s rune, eloquence, Spirit communication
  • Geomancy – Rubeus – passion, misuse of power 
  • The Sun in Scorpio; The Moon – Virgo until Libra at 4:11 PM PDT
  • Magickal Focus – Moon, feminine magicks, healing, intuition, cycles, reincarnation, astral travel, balance, change 
  • Favorability of working magick: excellent

Your penchant for problem-solving may involve setting boundaries for others so that passions remain under control. Rise above the reactions of others so that you can understand their needs in a way that preserves the collective goal. The situation requires a higher perspective that only you can provide. Silently intone the rune, Ansuz, to allow Spirit to inform your perspective.

If your energy feels off or you’re feeling triggered, check your biorhythm chart for the day. How you feel may be due to the natural energetic rhythm that each one of us experiences, and it’s best to step back and observe without reacting, especially if this involves a close partner.

Know that indecision is understandable given the change you’re experiencing. Share your wise counsel with those around you to prevent stasis while recognizing patterns that can help develop additional cooperation from others that fosters strength and security.

  • Color – Silver, white
  • Crystal – Pearl, moonstone, selenite, beryl, marcasite
  • Resin – White sandalwood, camphor, aloe, myrrh

Tuesday, 2 November 2021

  • Numerology – 2
  • Rune – Berkano (ᛒ) – healing, birth, Freyja, protection
  • Geomancy – Laetitia – young girl, scattered focus
  • The Sun in Scorpio; The Moon in Libra
  • Magickal Focus – Mars influence, passion, manifestation, creativity, self-assertion, reducing conflict
  • Favorability of working magick: excellent

If your focus remains scattered then you may miss something important or become so consumed with others that you forget to take care of your own needs. If your balance feels off, intone Berkano to heal your mind, body, and Spirit. In addition, make certain that you’re eating well and hydrating before you feel the need to do so. Ask for help if needed and let your intuition guide your decisions.

With the Moon in Libra and the 11th House of relationships, you’re ready to engage with partners and close friends. In addition, you’ll want to pay attention to habits that interfere with your objectives. If you’re feeling ill or physically depleted, there may be an emotional component that needs exploring.

Move around any interference from others who have difficulty overcoming behavior or perceptions that are irrational. Remain attentive so that you gain an overall understanding, and visualize a peaceful outcome. Express gratitude to all who share your values and principles.

  • Numerology – 3
  • Rune – Hagalaz (ᚺ) – celestial ice egg, restructuring, Norn rune
  • Geomancy – Amissio – loss, decrease
  • The Sun in Scorpio; The Moon in Libra until Scorpio at 5:53 PM PDT
  • Magickal Focus – Mercury, communication, interactions, balance, justice, revelation
  • Favorability of working magick: excellent

Let go of perceptions which no longer serve your overall objective and allow the influence of Hagalaz to restructure your ambitions so that you achieve your intended goal. Focus on the details and collaborate with others.

For the better part of the day, you express your ideas easily, with compassion and clarity. If emotions are triggered by others, you may need to reflect on their deeper message. As the Moon travels into Scorpio in the late afternoon, your focus intensifies. Explore new endeavors and plan for the future.

Be aware of patterns that signal manipulation from others that minimize or rationalize their mistakes or agenda. Maintain your own values and avoid dogmatism that prevents you from understanding the overall picture. Accept change with grace and pay attention to details.

  • The Sun in Scorpio; The Moon in Scorpio; New Moon at 2:14 PM PDT
  • Magickal Focus – Jupiter, social justice, healing, abundance, income, growth, achieving goals and desires
  • Favorability of working magick: excellent

Your hard work may be paying off today, and your reliable approach impresses others who can potentially open doors for you. You intuitively understand what’s necessary to foster a successful outcome. Fehu’s sending energy along with today’s New Moon sets the stage for new beginnings that lead to growth and security.

Others support your efforts and are available should you need assistance. If frustrations arise it may be that you’ve developed patterns that no longer serve your objective. Reassess the situation from a higher perspective and make adjustments if needed.

Manage others by recognizing patterns that develop and support cooperation. Watch for opportunities that arise and avoid an aloof attitude that can lead others to step back when collaboration is needed. Maintain your values and principles and avoid aligning with someone who isn’t trustworthy.

  • Rune – Sowilo (ᛋ) – the will, the Sun, awakening
  • Geomancy – Aquisitio – gain, increase
  • The Sun in Scorpio; The Moon in Scorpio until Sagittarius at 5:53 PM PDT
  • Magickal Focus – Venus, compassion, love, harmony, attracting a partner, partnership issues, female sexuality, fertility, healing, friendship
  • Favorability of working magick: neutral

Changes experienced today have a positive effect on achieving your goals, and you enjoy the freedom to approach new endeavors in a creative and innovative manner. Your self-confidence inspires others to do their best and they appreciate the clarity you bring to the process.

While Scorpio is still influencing your emotions, you may need to exercise restraint should your focus become too intense. If feeling triggered at all, remember that those triggers arise from your own past experiences and provide a space for understanding and healing. Honor your feelings and put them into perspective.

Timing may play a role in how much you can achieve today with intuition an important guide if you need to reassess the process. Challenge naysayers who insist on their own self-driven agenda that involves risks that can cost you dearly in the long run. This is a time where collaboration with others can yield tremendous results.

Correspondences

Saturday, 6 November 2021

  • Numerology – 6
  • Rune – Isa – (ᛁ) – ice, Norn rune, stillness, consciousness
  • Geomancy – Puer – little boy, impulsivity
  • The Sun in Scorpio; The Moon in Sagittarius
  • Magickal Focus – Saturn governs; restriction, bindings, summoning, harvest, purification, protection
  • Favorability of working magick: neutral

If your focus is scattered or you find impulse-control challenging, draw Isa over your third eye chakra to bring your awareness to your still point. As the rune of the present moment, Isa helps you to focus and let go of external distractions.

The Sagittarius Moon inspires you to consider other possibilities that take you in new directions. Let go of any concerns that prevent you from moving forward. Drop resistance and allow your inner awareness to guide your decisions. Assert yourself when the way becomes clear.

Maintain a disciplined approach defined by your values and principles and let your natural awareness and intrinsic sense of timing guide your path. Take advantage of opportunities that arise but use caution when taking risks. Understand that your decisions affect others and be respectful of their concerns.
