  • Life Path – 1 – describes an individual who is creative with strong leadership and organizational skills; ambitious and goal-directed.
  • Day – 3 – signals energy that is catalytic, creative, and ambitions with strong communication skills.
  • Challenges – minor challenges – potential inflexibility in terms of roles that impact self-esteem along with avoiding drama in relationships; major challenge – keeping your perspective and emotions in balance and to view challenges and failure as opportunities.

• Rune Divination ~ Thurisaz, Fehu, Berkano – casting the intention for manifesting healing and new beginnings. Thurisaz provides the means to break through perceptions while Fehu, as the sending rune, casts the intention itself. Berkano, an Earth element rune, represents bringing something to fruition, in this case healing and new beginnings.

• Lunar position ~ Libra until Scorpio at 6:15 AM PST; (VOC until 6:14 AM PST)  – As the Moon travels into Scorpio, your emotions may become unsettled and self-restraint may become necessary. You may also experience frustration due to delays, reinforced by Mercury in retrograde. Remain calm, wait for clarity, and avoid conflict with others. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.
• Sign strength – there are seven planets/planetary bodies (The Sun, Vulcan, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pallas) as well as the Ascendant 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. The Ascendant, North and South Nodes, as well as Lilith aspects are in their own categories below:
  • Stelliums (power interactions)
    • Mercury R/Pallas/Ascendant – with Mercury in Retrograde, this describes reassessing strategy using unconventional thinking
    • Sun/Vulcan/Jupiter – expresses the courage to chart one’s own course with enthusiasm and optimism and the desire for recognition by others
  • Thor’s Hammer
    • Saturn/Uranus/Vesta – involves a diligent and patient approach to hard work and success and breaking through perceptions that enable you to live life on your own terms.
    • Moon/Venus/North Node – involves learning to express yourself in a manner that respects not only your own emotions but those of others
  • Sun (12th/Aquarius) conjunct Vulcan (12th/Aquarius) – suggests courage is required to chart one’s own direction.
  • Sun (12th/Aquarius) square Mars (2nd/Taurus) – suggests the potential for risky behavior and expressing oneself without causing conflict to break out
  • Sun (12th/Aquarius) opposite Uranus (2nd/Taurus) – describes a unique individual who may have difficulty understanding emotions
  • Venus (12th/Aquarius) conjunct Saturn (12th/Aquarius) – suggests difficulty with emotional expression in relationships and a potential for imbalance in expressions of will or self-assertion
  • Mars (2nd/Taurus) square Jupiter (12th/Aquarius) – signals excessive behavior and a lack of self-discipline
  • Mars (2nd/Taurus) quincunx Juno (10th/Sagittarius) – describes independence and self-assertion in relationships
  • Saturn (12th/Aquarius) square Uranus (2nd/Taurus) – describes issues with authority and compromise furthered on by inadequacy
  • Saturn (12th/Aquarius) sextile Chiron (1st/Aries) – indicates perseverance through emotional difficulties and from that experience to assist others on their own path

• Ascendant – Aquarius – signals a self-reliant and progressive approach, original thinking, humanitarianism, and independence
  • Mercury (1st/Aquarius, R) conjunct The Ascendant – describes extroverted interactions with others. With Mercury in retrograde, avoid misunderstandings that could occur.
• 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 2nd House of money and self-worth, the risk may involve containing the darker aspects of self and the control of one’s ego. A square between The Sun and our dark Goddess, as well as the same with Jupiter, indicates excessive behavior is likely today. A weak conjunct with Uranus supports this tendency suggesting that you don’t like restriction, while a stronger conjunct today between Mars and Lilith cautions against overreaction. Given the quincunx between our dark Goddess and the Midheaven in Sagittarius, all of this may play out on the career front.
• 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. A trine between the Sun and the North Node/sextile the South Node counsels you to let go of past perceptions that are holding you back.

• Lunar Phase ~ 3rd Quarter on 4 Feb 2021 at 9:38 AM PST at 16°Sco07′
• Mansion of the Moon ~ 17th – Alichil – 25°Libra42′; crown of Scorpio; reverses destitution, strengthens love and buildings and assists sailors
• Retrograde ~ Vesta – now in Virgo, look inward to better define your expectations of others so that you respect their boundaries, input or expertise; Mercury – slow down and reassess; look within and reassess perceptions and interactions with others.

---

• Polarity – Masculine (15), Feminine (8) – projective energies provide the strongest impact favoring motivation and self-assertion; caution against an aggressive response.
• Elemental Influence ~  Air (intellect, reason, balance, communication) provides the strongest influence today suggesting interactions with others are important today. The remainder of the Elemental energies are less of an influence today.
• Energetic Quality/Mode ~ Fixed (stable) sign energies dominate the other qualities suggesting stability and routine are favored today. Motivation and flexibility may be the challenge.
• Rays ~ The 1st Ray of will and power remains at roughly the same level as last week while 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. Although the 3rd Ray of active intelligence has lessened its influence, the 4th Ray of harmony through conflict has increased signaling ongoing discussions that could benefit from a focus on truth. The 6th Ray of devotion and idealism continues to have an effect on how ideology impacts our perceptions and with the 2nd Ray of love and wisdom of a lesser strength, ideology may overshadow rational 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 of the 2nd ray, a higher expression of wisdom or perspective may be lacking. The 7th Ray of ceremonial order and magick is still having a reduced effect or impact suggesting manifesting harmony and new beginnings may prove challenging. For further information, this post may be helpful.
