Wednesday is governed by Mercury. Below are its corresponding energies as well as the current transit chart for the witch’s perusal.

• Magickal focus ~ communication, interactions, balance, justice, revelation

• Favorable/Unfavorable for Magick ~ very good

• Lunar position ~ Virgo – If under stress today, avoid obsessive thinking or reaching for the inevitable junk food. Break through old patterns that are holding you back from achieving a balance between mind, body, and Spirit (Moon conjunct Vulcan). Remain open to sharing your generosity with others (Moon trine Jupiter) and nurturing others in need (Moon semisquare Juno).
• Sign ~ Virgo – practical, focus on health and well-being, perfectionist
• Polarity – the feminine principle dominates today
• Elemental Influence ~ Earth provides the strongest impact today suggesting that material or security concerns are in focus. With both Air and Water lesser influences, objectivity and emotional balance may be impacted.
• Energetic Quality/Mode ~  motivation and adaptability are strongest today with Cardinal and Mutable energies today. Procrastination may occur.
• Houses ~ 4th – home, roots, heritage, karma; 10th – career, social standing, public life, parenting, life direction
• Rays ~ All Rays are influencing today, with a focus on the compassionate use of will, intellect, and power today as well as a devotion to ideals, blending all from a focus on Spirit (Rays 1, 2, 3, 6, 7)
• Black Moon Lilith ~ 5th House/Aries — organization may prove challenging and you may not realize how that impacts others. Additional issues may also arise surrounding balancing duty with creative pursuits. Avoid irresponsible behavior.
• Node influences ~ N Node – 8th Hs/Gemini; S Node – 2nd Hs/Sagittarius describes the need for self-control and focus on a spiritual perspective. The challenge involves understanding the viewpoints of others.
• Temperament ~ Phlegmatic (cold/wet; compassionate, peaceful, quiet)
• Lunar Phase ~ Waning; Balsamic; New Moon on 17 Sep 2020 at 4:01 am PDT at 25°Vir00′
• Mansion of the Moon ~ 13th – Alhaire 4°Vir17’9″; dog stars/wings of Virgo; fosters compassion, travel, harvest, gain, freedom of captives
• Retrograde ~ Pluto (reevaluation, profound transformation); Saturn (restructuring of foundation from an inner perspective); Chiron (allow for inner transformation, letting go of past woundings); Neptune (let go of illusion and discern the truth); Ceres (perceptions change surrounding feelings of unity and oneness with others); Uranus (allow for the unexpected and focus on change from within); Mars (potentially intensifies the inner expression of will)
