Numerology ~ 5/14/2021

• Day – 5 – change, freedom versus restriction, protection, uncertainty, creativity
• Challenges – taking a self-determined path

Rune Divination ~ Sowilo, Nauthiz, and Ansuz comprise today’s rune divination where the Norn rune of the future, Nauthiz, appears again today to draw our attention and will inward toward Spirit-infused interactions with others. Ansuz, Odin’s rune, describes eloquence and Spirit communication with Sowilo, the rune of the will, draws down soul energy into both our perceptions as well as our interactions.

Lunar position –  Gemini until Cancer at 6:31 PM PDT; VOC – 3:50 AM PDT to 6:30 PM PDT – While the Moon shifts from Gemini to Cancer, you may experience increased emotions or if empathic, your empathic awareness may become stronger. You may also be drawn to some adventure today or at least a spirited conversation with others. If moodiness occurs, however, it may be that you need to channel that imbalance into a more nurturing or healing focus. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.

Sign strength – Gemini, Cancer, and Pisces provide the strongest sign influence today influencing communication and the expression of ideas (Gemini) as well as how we express and receive nurturing (Cancer). Compassion and intuition factors in with the addition of Pisces.

• Venus (12th/Gemini) square Vesta (4th/Virgo) – suggests relationships require some work on your part and take a sacred focus
• Uranus (11th/Taurus) trine Vesta (4th/Virgo) – suggests balancing a spiritual concern for the greater good and a motivation to help others with taking care of oneself as well
• Neptune (10th/Pisces) square Juno (6th/Sagittarius R) – describes the need to see others realistically, especially when providing assistance or selecting a partner
• Pluto (8th/Capricorn R) square Eris (12th/Aries) – describing the reevaluation of a possible obsessive focus on the path to self-mastery (Seltzer)

• Juno (6th/Sagittarius R) trine Eris (11th/Aries) – describes the strong need for a shared belief or direction with a partner

The Ascendant – Cancer – a feminine, Cardinal sign that suggests that home is a place of safety and nurturing and that you approach life from a fairly risk-averse perspective. Compassion is favored as is a sense of vulnerability and sensitivity. Emotions may be in flux or moodiness may be experienced.

• Trine Jupiter, others are attracted to your enthusiasm, drive, and compassion
• Square Neptune, escape is possible in all forms

Black Moon Lilith ~ 12th House/Taurus — You may resist change while in Taurus and it may be difficult to move out of your comfort zone. In the 12th House of endings, things that are hidden (fears, enemies), the collective unconscious, karma, and service to others, Lilith’s darker side may impact relationships with others, with fear at the heart of a more solitary existence. A sextile with Neptune counsels stepping outside your own focus and aligning with nature to balance your fear while a conjunct between a conjunct between our dark Goddess and The Sun offers a bright spot to Lilith’s day supporting optimism and enthusiasm.

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.

• Mercury conjunct the North Node/Node (opposite The South Node) indicates a career focused on communication
• Venus conjunct The North Node/opposite the South Node suggests that your destiny involves a focus on harmony within relationships but not at the expense of taking action when necessary
• Mars quincunx The South Node brings up issues of how past experience or karma influences your own warrior instincts
• A trine between the North Node and Saturn (sextile the South Node) suggests an enthusiastic attitude that can direct you into achievement in many areas
• Uranus quincunx The South Node alerts you to the need to flow with unexpected events
• Pluto sesquisquare The North Node/semisquare The South Node seems to suggest transformation surrounding both how you see past as well as the future
• Chiron trine the South Node/sextile The North Node indicates that profound growth from a difficult situation or illness in your life may benefit others

Lunar Phase ~ New Moon on 11 May 2021 at 12:00 PM PDT at 21°Ta17; 1st Qtr on 19 May 2021 at 12:13 PM PDT at 29°Leo01′

Mansion of the Moon – 7th – Aldirah – 17°Gem8′; arm of Gemini; promotes friendship and love, gain, destroys courts

Retrograde ~ Juno – suggests a look inward in how you select, commit to, and interact with partners in your life; Pluto – inner transformation is favored.

---

Polarity – Masculine (8), Feminine (15) – the feminine or receptive polarity continues to be strongest today

Elemental Influence ~ The Water element provides the strongest impact today suggesting that concerns of a more emotional nature are in focus.

Energetic Sign Quality/Mode ~ Mutable sign qualities are strongest suggesting stability and routine are favored today. Cardinal and Fixed signs are less of an influence and in relative balance with each other.

---

Rays ~ The 2nd Ray of unconditional love and wisdom continues to exceed all other Rays in its influence today as it heals and aligns our perceptions in harmony with others. Its counterpart, the 6th Ray of devotion and idealism, remains stable and is still thankfully having a lesser impact on conspiracy thinking. When the 6th Ray is strong, gullibility or single-minded devotion controls individual and collective perception. The insurrection on January 6, 2021 is an example of 6th Ray influence run amok.

The 3rd Ray of active intelligence along with the 4th Ray of harmony through conflict, are having their own effect suggesting that we’re able, influenced by expressions of love and wisdom from the 2nd Ray, to come to an agreement with others.

The 5th Ray of concrete knowledge and science is having a decreased impact today indicating that information gleaned has already become part of the lexicon or isn’t as much of a factor today.

Finally, the 1st Ray (will/power) is having the least impact on our decisions while the 7th Ray (ceremonial order/magick) seems to draw from the other rays, particularly the 2nd Ray of love and wisdom, in how we manifest our way forward.
