Friday is governed by Venus. Below are its corresponding energies as well as the current transit chart for the witch’s perusal.
- Magickal focus ~ Venus influence, compassion, love, harmony, attracting a partner, partnership issues, female sexuality, fertility, healing, friendship.
- 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 good
- Numerology ~ 2/19/2021
- Life Path – 8 – describes a leader who pursues success, particularly in business and desires acknowledgement from others.
- Day – 1 – new beginnings, unity, wholeness, uniqueness, freedom, leadership
- Challenges – minor challenges – balancing ego expression along with balancing work with play; major challenge – balancing a solitary nature with one that is more social
- Rune Divination ~ Wunjo, Uruz, Nauthiz – Uruz signals manifestation in today’s divination and within this divination, it represents the inner will to manifest joy and fellowship with others. Again, Uruz, the second rune of the Elder Futhark, suggests the energy behind manifestation, so the thought process itself that determines the source of the creative expression, in this case, Source Presence. From there, we express the inner will with Nauthiz, the Norn rune of the future. Wunjo, then, as the wish rune, becomes the goal or outcome with the expression of joy, peace, and harmony with others.
- Lunar position ~ Taurus until Gemini at 8:04 AM PST – 1st Quarter at 10:47 AM PST – VOC until 8:03 AM PST – With the Moon traveling into Gemini in the early morning, interactions with others become more complex with debate possible. Keep things light and assert yourself in a compassionate and respectful manner. Again, if in a leadership role, use your position to motivate others along a shared path. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.
- Sign strength – there are six planets/planetary bodies (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. Taurus follows with four planets/planetary bodies (Uranus, Black Moon Lilith, Mars, The Moon) in that Earthy sign with Watery Pisces influencing three planets/planetary bodies today (The Sun, Ceres, Chiron).
- Significant Aspects or patterns that may inspire or inform magickal workings. The Ascendant, North/South Nodes, as well as Lilith aspects are in their own categories below:
- Stelliums (power interactions)
- Sun/Vulcan/Venus/Pallas – break through perceptions and reassess your strategy on a new path toward harmony with others (weakening influence)
- Venus (12th/Aquarius) square Mars (2nd/Taurus) – patience with both self and others is required today
- Venus (12th/Aquarius) semisquare Chiron (1st/Aries) – relationships may prove challenging possibly influenced by childhood woundings
- Venus (12th/Aquarius) conjunct Pallas (12th/Aquarius) – suggests the use and awareness of patterns in both creative expression and relationships
- Mars (2nd/Taurus) square Pallas (12th/Aquarius) – indicates the need to see the overall picture before acting or judging so that conflict doesn’t occur
- Saturn (11th/Aquarius) square Uranus (2nd/Taurus) – describes issues with authority and compromise furthered on by inadequacy
- Saturn (11th/Aquarius) sextile Chiron (1st/Aries) – indicates perseverance through emotional difficulties and from that experience to assist others on their own path
- Stelliums (power interactions)
- Ascendant – Pisces – signals a sensitive and imaginative approach, an intuitive and empathic nature, with the tendency toward emotional imbalance or questionable boundaries.
- Mars (2nd/Taurus) sextile the Ascendant – indicates a willingness to take risks and counsels the need for greater awareness before acting
- Neptune (1st/Pisces) conjunct the Ascendant – reinforces the need to express yourself with sensitivity and imagination
- 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 Jupiter and our dark Goddess indicates excessive behavior is likely today while a square with Mercury indicates trusting your instincts when exploring new ideas and perceptions.
- 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 and respectful manner. A trine between Jupiter and the North Node (sextile the South Node) suggests that past efforts will yield positive results in the future.
- Lunar Phase ~ Crescent, waxing; 1st Qtr Moon on 19 Feb 2021 at 10:48 AM PST at 01°Ge20
- Mansion of the Moon ~ 5th – Almices – 21°Tau25′; 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 their boundaries, input or expertise; Mercury – 1/30/2021 to 2/20/2021 (post-retrograde shadow until 3/13/2021) slow down and reassess; look within and reassess perceptions and interactions with others; Vulcan – breaking through perceptions that no longer appear to be correct
- Polarity – Masculine (9), Feminine (14) – Feminine or receptive energy is strongest today signaling the ability to express compassion and empathy to others. Receptive energy has a drawing in effect on the aura.
- Elemental Influence ~ Earth (material concerns) and Water (empathy, emotions) provide the strongest influence with Air (intellect, reason, balance, communication) next in influence today. Fire (will, creativity, motivation) follows with a lesser influence.
- Energetic Sign Quality/Mode ~ Fixed (stable) sign energies dominate the other qualities (although Mutable energies have increased) suggesting stability and routine are favored today. Motivation and flexibility may still be the challenge.
- Rays ~ Although the 5th Ray of concrete knowledge and science has been providing the strongest impact on our perceptions to date signaling a focus on scientific knowledge and truth, its effect has decreased somewhat. However, the increased influence of the 2nd, 4th, and 6th Rays continues to suggest that harmony can be achieved through the sharing of ideas (4th Ray influence). With the increased effect of the 2nd and 6th Rays, the influence of love and wisdom (2nd Ray) on ideology (6th Ray) may help to balance those discussions. That said, the 6th Ray of devotion and idealism continues to have the greatest effect on our perceptions and behavior making the need for love and wisdom experienced with the 2nd Ray even more important, especially with the 3rd Ray of active intelligence having little impact today. The 1st Ray of will and power has little effect on the will as well which may or may not help control the 6th Ray’s effect on conspiracy-oriented thought patterns. In short, there may be a negative impact on achieving understanding or shared truth if the influence of the 2nd Ray’s higher expression of wisdom isn’t strong enough to balance the 6th Ray’s tendency in its extreme form toward cult-like beliefs. 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 other words, discernment may be lacking. The 7th Ray of ceremonial order and magick may have difficulty manifesting harmony and new beginnings due to its lesser influence today. For further information, this post may be helpful.
