Magickal Forecast for Monday, 25 January 2021

---

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

• Magickal focus ~ Moon influence, feminine magicks, healing, intuition, cycles, reincarnation, astral travel, balance, change
• Numerology ~ 1/25/2021
  • Life Path – 4 – describes someone who is reliable with a life path full of dedication and patience as you build a life full of success and achievement.
  • Day – 25 – (Reduces to 7) – signals creativity, optimism, balance, ideas, inner balance
  • Challenges – minor challenges – balancing self-assertion with complacency; sensitivity to the feelings of others; major challenge – managing how you express motivation and drive
• Rune Divination ~ Berkano, Hagalaz, Fehu – casting the intention for healing and harmony within a fixed framework. Berkano establishes the need for healing, fertility, family, and harmony. But it’s Hagalaz and Fehu that describe the process by which we achieve all of that. Hagalaz allows us to break through challenges and influence change without destroying the fundamental structure itself while Fehu, as the sending rune, casts that intention to the universe.
• Time
  • Dawn – healing, new beginnings, study, purification
  • Noon – strength, opportunity, success, protection, wealth
  • Sunset – letting go, release
  • Night – spirituality, aligning with Spirit, healing, dreamwork, visions
• Favorable/Unfavorable for Magick ~ very bad

• Lunar position ~  Gemini until Cancer at 10:52 AM PST (VOC until 10:51 AM PST) – As the Moon travels into sensitive and nurturing Cancer in the latter part of the morning, your confidence and self-esteem comes into focus. A positive attitude will make the best use of this influence. Take time for yourself, however, should feelings of moodiness arise. 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 (Sun, Saturn, Uranus, Vesta) involves a diligent and patient approach to hard work and success and the courage to live life on your own terms.
  • Sun (10th/Aquarius) square Mars (12th/Taurus) – suggests the potential for risky behavior and expressing oneself without causing conflict to break out
  • Sun (10th/Aquarius) conjunct Saturn (10th/Aquarius) indicates a serious and self-disciplined approach to career
  • Sun (10th/Aquarius) square Uranus (12th/Taurus) – describes a lack of impulse control that can either work for or against you, especially if called to a leadership role
  • Venus (9th/Capricorn) trine Vesta (5th/Virgo) – describes the ability to develop long term relationships with others
  • Mars (12th/Taurus) square Jupiter (10th/Aquarius) – signals excessive behavior and a lack of self-discipline
  • 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
  • Saturn (10th/Aquarius) sextile Chiron (12th/Aries) – indicates perseverance through emotional difficulties and from that experience to assist others on their own path
• 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 (10), Feminine (13) – receptive energies provide the strongest impact although projective energies are increasing…time to reflect and observe, and express compassion and integrity
• Elemental Influence ~  Air (intellect, reason, balance, communication) and Earth (material/physical concerns) provide the strongest influences. Water (emotions, compassion) is less of an influence with Fire (will, creativity, motivation) having 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 the weakest position, flexibility and adaptation may prove challenging.
• Rays ~ The 5th Ray of concrete knowledge and science provides the strongest impact on our perceptions today signaling a focus on scientific knowledge and truth. It also suggests that more information may be coming out surrounding the impact of the COVID virus on the country. The 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 7th Rays are having less of an impact but are in balance with each other indicating that the expression of will, power, intellect, and harmony with others are remaining steady. Both the 2nd Ray (love/wisdom) and the 6th Ray of devotion and idealism continue to have 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. 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 a conjunct 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 ~ 8th – Annathra – 1°Cancer – misty/cloudy; promotes love and friendship particularly with fellow travelers, rids area of mice, reinforces imprisonment
• 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′
