• Lunar position ~ Aquarius  – With the Moon in Aquarius, you may have difficulty understanding the emotions of others. It may be that your issues with emotions stem from a lack of self-confidence possibly brought about by your need to set a course that others don’t understand. That said, you also love the company of family and friends so avoid judging anyone for their self-expression today. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.
• Sign strength – there are eight planets/planetary bodies (The Sun, the Moon, Vulcan, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pallas) 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)
    • Venus/Jupiter/Saturn – feeling comfortable in social situations may be challenging with control as the biggest issue
    • Sun/Mercury R/Pallas – the courage to develop a new strategy for interactions with others
    • Moon/Mercury R/Venus/Jupiter – reevaluate how you use intuition in your interactions with others along with expressions of warmth and generosity
    • Moon/Venus/Jupiter/Saturn – describes issues of self-esteem within relationships and whether or not you feel welcome within the group
  • Sun (12th/Aquarius) conjunct Mercury R (12th/Aquarius) – describes strong communication skills with a tendency to speak instead of listening
  • Sun (12th/Aquarius) semisquare Chiron (1st/Aries) – indicates trouble with self-expression and a need for patience and compassion
  • Mercury R (12th/Aquarius) square Mars (2nd/Taurus) – suggests lost focus or concentration
  • Venus (12th/Aquarius) conjunct Jupiter (12th/Aquarius) – suggests avoiding self-indulgence or excessive behavior
  • 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 – Pisces – signals a sensitive and imaginative approach, an intuitive and empathic nature, with the tendency toward emotional imbalance or questionable boundaries.
  • Uranus (2nd/Taurus) sextile The Ascendant – involves self-assertion and a focus on the acceptance of others and the preservation of individual rights
• 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 indicates excessive behavior is likely today.
• 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 counsels you to let go of past perceptions that are holding you back. And a Trine between Mercury and the North Node/sextile with The South Node suggests that communication-based careers may be in your future.

• Lunar Phase ~ Balsamic; New Moon on 11 Feb 2021 at 11:06 AM PST at 23°Aq16
• Mansion of the Moon ~ 24th – Caadacohot – 25°Cap4; star of fortune; increases compassion between married people, military victory, obstructs government
• 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) – self-assertion is strong with a greater level of projective or masculine energy today
• Elemental Influence ~  Air (intellect, reason, balance, communication) provides the strongest influence today suggesting interactions with others are important today. Earth, Water, and Fire follow in relative balance with each other
• Energetic Sign 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 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. The 1st Ray of will and power remains the same, however, the 3rd Ray of active intelligence has decreased its influence likely having an impact on achieving understanding or shared truth. The 4th Ray of harmony through conflict is remaining fairly steady from last week signaling ongoing discussions are occurring that could benefit from a focus on truth but with the decreased impact of the 3rd Ray, harmony behind the truth may be difficult to achieve. 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 continuing in its 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 has decreased its impact suggests manifesting harmony and new beginnings may still prove challenging. For further information, this post may be helpful.
