Magickal Forecast for Tuesday, 25 August 2020

---

Tuesday is governed by willful Mars. Below are its corresponding energies for the witch’s perusal.

Current Outlook

• Lunar position ~ Scorpio until Sagittarius at 5:48 AM PDT ~ As the Moon travels into Sagittarius, you may feel the need for adventure or independence, particularly as life continues to be stressful as you navigate issues surrounding the pandemic. Find a creative outlet that indulges your independent nature but does so safely (Moon square the Sun, and semisquare Jupiter R).
• Sign ~ Virgo – meticulous, health focus, practical, perfectionist; Scorpio – intense, focused, envious, dramatic
• Elemental Influence ~ Fire, Earth, and Water are balanced in today’s chart, but Air continues its non-existent impact today so decision-making and reason may continue to be severely impacted
• Energetic Quality/Mode ~  Mutable energies dominate the qualities today suggesting flexibility and adaptability
• Houses ~ 10th – public life, standing, authority, career, life direction, achievement
• Rays ~ All Rays are influencing today, however the 6th Ray of devotion/idealism is strongest suggesting the need to guard against fanaticism.
• Black Moon Lilith ~ 6th House/Aries — organization may prove challenging and you may not realize how that impacts others. Additional issues may also arise surrounding self-assertion.
