• Lunar position ~ Taurus until Gemini at 11:43 PM PST (VOC – 1:27 PM PST to 11:42 PM PST) – Until the Moon travels into Gemini just before midnight, you may begin to feel indecisive if you listen only to what your mind has to offer. Choose then a higher path and let the light of Spirit inform your direction forward. Foster harmony with others and motivate them to seek the same. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.
• Significant Aspects or patterns that may inspire or inform magickal workings:
  • Stelliums (3 and/or 4 point power interactions)
    • Mars/Uranus/Lilith – describes out of the box thinking and risky behavior
    • Sun/Vulcan/Jupiter – expresses the courage to chart one’s own course with enthusiasm and optimism and the desire for recognition by others
    • Sun/Vulcan/Saturn – describes breaking through barriers to a more self-disciplined approach
  • Thor’s Hammer (Saturn, Mars, Uranus, Vesta) involves a diligent and patient approach to hard work and success
  • Sun (10th/Aquarius) conjunct Saturn (10th/Aquarius) indicates a serious and self-disciplined approach to career
  • Mercury (10th/Aquarius) semisquare Chiron (12th/Aries) – counsels a more reserved self-expression, a respect for the views of others, and the time to listen instead
  • Mercury (10th/Aquarius) trine the North Node (2nd/Gemini) – describes the development of effective communication skills
  • Mars (12th/Taurus) square Jupiter (10th/Aquarius) – signals excessive behavior and a lack of self-discipline
  • Mars (12th/Taurus) square Saturn (10th/Aquarius) – indicates balancing movement forward with hesitance and a conservative approach (Note: look at this one in relation to the square with Jupiter)
  • Mars (12th/Taurus) conjunct Uranus (12th/Taurus) – describes a tendency to take unnecessary risk (a protection spell might be in order here)
  • Mars (12th/Taurus) conjunct Lilith – cautions against overreaction
  • Jupiter (10th/Aquarius) conjunct Saturn (10th/Aquarius) – describes balancing freedom with restriction and the need for self-discipline and structure.
  • Jupiter (10th/Aquarius) square Uranus (12th/Taurus) – suggests moderation in expression and desires
  • Saturn (10th/Aquarius) square Uranus (12th/Taurus) – describes issues with authority and compromise furthered on by inadequacy
• Ascendant – Taurus – signals a practical, pragmatic approach, structure, stability, favors routine, careful planning and decision-making, organized. Aspects follow:
  • Mercury (10th/Aquarius) square the Ascendant (Taurus) involves when to speak and when to remain quiet and the manner in which you communicate your thoughts to others
• Polarity – Masculine (7), Feminine (16) – receptive energies provide the strongest impact…time to watch and observe, and express compassion and integrity
• Elemental Influence ~ Earth (material matters, security) energies provide the strongest influence with Water (emotions) and Air (intellect, communication, reason) having a smaller effect. Fire (will, creativity, motivation) has no presence today.
• Energetic Quality/Mode ~  Fixed (stable) sign energies dominate the other qualities followed by Cardinal or sign qualities that are motivating or initiating. With Mutable in a weaker position, flexibility and adaptation may prove challenging.
• Rays ~ The Rays are in roughly the same position today with the 3rd Ray of active intelligence, the 4th Ray of harmony through conflict, as well as the 5th Ray of concrete knowledge and science, remaining in their same level of impact or strength today. All three are having an effect on knowledge and truth. Will and power continue their strength with the 1st Ray and we manifest all of those influences through the 7th Ray of ceremonial order and magick. Through the 4th Ray a new path can form based on truth found through both the 3rd and 5th Rays. Both the 2nd Ray (love/wisdom) and the 6th Ray of devotion and idealism are significantly less of an impact which has been contributing to the focus on conspiracy instead of scientific or objective truth. Again, the 2nd Ray acts as a counterbalance to the 6th, and if in balance, it can provide a wiser influence on the potential cult-like effect of the 6th. In their present strength, a lack of clarity or confusion remains as people caught up in the con are still trying to figure out what happened. The unraveling and reassessment will likely continue to be difficult as long as they remain closed off to fundamental truth. For further information, this post may be helpful.
• Black Moon Lilith ~ Taurus — remaining in your comfort zone is tempting, but it also signals an unwillingness to take risks toward a better outcome. In the 12th House of fear, restriction, and unseen forces, the risk may involve containing the darker aspects of self. A conjunct with Uranus suggests you don’t like restriction while Venus trine Lilith suggests trusting your instincts today. A conjunct as well today between Mars and Lilith cautions against overreaction
• 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 manner. A square continues between Neptune in Pisces and both the North and South Nodes signaling a focus on fantasy or imagination and suggests that maintaining your physical health will help ground and center your perspective and provide a foundation for creative success.
• Lunar Phase ~ 1st Qtr on 20 Jan 2021 at 1:02 PM PST at 01°Tau01′ Full on 28 Jan 2021 at 11:17 AM PST at 09°Le05
• Mansion of the Moon ~ 5th – Almices – 21°Tau25’40’; fosters return from travel; increases scholarship; reinforces structures; promotes good health and good will
• Retrograde ~ Vesta – now in Virgo, look inward to better define your expectations of others so that you respect boundaries and the input or expertise of others; Mercury turns Retrograde on 31 Jan 2021 at 26°Aq28′
