Rune Divination: Kenaz (ᚲ), Isa (ᛁ), and Wunjo (ᚹ) comprise today’s rune divination where we align in Spirit (Isa) to invoke that higher vibratory awareness (Kenaz) into our expression of joy and fellowship with others (Wunjo).

Kenaz, as the torch, reflects the light of Spirit into our interactions with others. Isa, as the Norn rune of the static realm or present moment, aligns us in higher awareness, focusing our will from a more lofty state than ego offers.

Wunjo takes both energetic influences to invoke joy in our lives and fellowship with those around us. These runic influences represent the manifestation of Spirit vision into our daily lives.

Energetic Influences

Polarity: The masculine (projective) side of self is having the greatest influence suggesting motivation and creative expression are both strong. The feminine (receptive) side of self, however, is increasing in strength.

Elemental Influence: Air (intellect, reason, justice, interaction) and Fire (will, creativity, motivation) provide the strongest elemental influence today. Water (emotions, compassion, empathy) follows with Earth (material concerns, physical presence) providing the lesser influence.

---

Ray Influences:  The effect of the seven cosmic Rays essentially impacts the soul/ego balance at any given moment. As the Rays move through the universe and ultimately reach each individual, they color (or influence) our perceptions and behavior. If we perceive our experiences from a soul perspective, then our overall perspective resonates from a higher vibration; whereas, if we react from the standpoint of ego, our resonance becomes lower and more reactive.

The Rays continue at the same strength as yesterday, with the influence of the 1st Ray on the expression of will and power suggesting that self-confidence continues to be less today and you may be less motivated to pursue new experiences. The lesser impact of the 2nd Ray influence of love and wisdom indicates that empathy and understanding are less today, and in conjunction with the strong impact of the 4th Ray energy of harmony through conflict, it suggests that without a strong 2nd Ray influence, you may be less inclined to collaborate with others or be sensitive to their needs.

The decreasing strength of the 3rd Ray of active intelligence indicates that the ability to process information intellectually may be average today, and with the strong influence of the 5th Ray, you may still be more inclined to rely on scientific knowledge to inform your perspective. However, with the 6th Ray’s stronger impact, coupled with the decreased 2nd Ray influence, a devotion or fixation on ideology may overshadow intellectual expression and a shared acceptance of science-based truth.

Finally, the 7th Ray’s lesser impact on balancing higher self with ego reinforced by the strong 6th Ray energy suggests that ego awareness may ultimately inform your overall perspective today with ideology influencing your reactions.

Significant aspects or patterns that may inspire or inform magickal workings

General Patterns – Although you’re able to reach your objectives today, you may still experience some challenges regarding your professional status today either from your own unresolved issues or from the hidden agendas of others. Before confronting the individual(s), you may benefit from stepping back to understand the greater picture. We’re all in various stages of healing inner wounds, and compassion in lieu of confrontation may be your best option.

Lunar position: The Moon in Scorpio – If external forces are upsetting your inner balance it can impact your ability to stay focused. If it’s your own impulse control that’s lacking, then take a step back to understand the greater picture. It may be that some self-discipline is needed. The weekly esoteric influences are available here.

The Ascendant: Sagittarius – a masculine sign, Sagittarius acts with intention and purpose. In other words, you’re motivated and you take initiative. Also a sign that’s considered Mutable or flexible, a Sagittarius individual may love taking off on an adventure or seeking new experiences. You’re honest and forthright and your enthusiasm for life generally has a positive or inspirational effect on others. That said, a Sagittarius individual can also be impulsive and tactless. An opposition with Lilith (7th House/Gemini) suggests that your instincts may of benefit when interacting with partners.

Black Moon Lilith: 7th 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 7th House of partnerships this may be challenging with Lilith’s darker side affecting expectations and potentially resistant to new experiences with others. Ideally, you need to accept the wild child within, respect your intuition and perception, while balancing discernment with engaging respectfully with others. You need to stay focused to avoid miscommunication as well as to keep your competitive attitude under control. The way through such transformation is to trust your instincts, embrace the shadow side of self, and focus on compassion and nurturing relationships with both self and others.

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. N Node conjunct Ceres retrograde suggests you might reflect on how supportive you are to the needs of others.
