• Lunar position ~ (Maiden phase) – Cancer until Leo at 6:55 PM PST (VOC 9:55 AM PST to 6:54 PM PST) – Until the Moon travels into Leo at the end of the afternoon, interactions with others could be impacted and, as you experienced on Tuesday, you may still need to wait before speaking so that you convey your message in a rational and compassionate manner, especially if this includes a partner or spouse. If frustrations increase, take time away from the situation to gather your thoughts and regain your center. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.
• Sign strength – we have a whole bunch of planets/planetary bodies in Aquarius today suggesting innovative thinking and group consciousness that builds toward progressive change. On the negative side, the Aquarian influence may impact one’s ability to remain sensitive to the emotions of others.
• Significant Aspects or patterns that may inspire or inform magickal workings. Lilith aspects are in their own category below this section:
  • Stelliums (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
    • Sun/Vulcan/Jupiter/Saturn/MC – balancing optimism and enthusiasm with self-discipline on a career path that is unconventional in nature.
  • Thor’s Hammer (Sun, Vulcan, 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) 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) conjunct Pluto (9th/Capricorn) – indicates a preference for drama or extreme emotions in relationships
  • 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)
  • 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…reflection, observation, and expressions of compassion and integrity are favored
• Elemental Influence ~  Air (intellect, reason, balance, communication) and Earth (material/physical concerns) provide the strongest influences. Water (emotions, compassion) and Fire (will, creativity, motivation) are less of an influence but in near balance with each other.
• 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 continues to provide the strongest impact on our perceptions today signaling a focus on scientific knowledge and truth with additional information coming out about vaccine availability and safety measures. 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. With the lesser influence today, particularly of the 2nd ray, a higher expression of wisdom or perspective may be lacking. 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 square between The Sun and our dark Goddess, as well as the same with Jupiter, indicates excessive behavior is likely today. A conjunct with Uranus supports this tendency suggesting that 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 ~ Maiden phase; Full on 28 Jan 2021 at 11:17 AM PST at 09°Le05
• Mansion of the Moon ~ 10th – Algebha – 25° Cancer; neck/forehead of Leo; fosters love and compassion, assists in defeating enemies, and strengthens structures
• 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; Vulcan – address inner challenges that keep you from succeeding; Mercury turns Retrograde on 31 Jan 2021 at 26°Aq28′
