  • Life Path – 5 – describes a life filled with change and the need for flexibility. Freedom versus restriction will also play a role.

• Rune Divination ~ Ansuz, Ehwaz, Berkano – Express the voice of Spirit in your interactions with others today with a focus on harmony and healing partnerships. Ansuz, as Odin’s rune, reflects eloquence and clarity as we express Higher Self vision. Building on that foundation, we’re able to reassess partnerships that may have been out of balance with Ehwaz and bring healing and a sense of new beginnings in our interactions with others with Berkano.

• Lunar position ~ Leo – Strike a balance between intellect and emotions on Thursday so that you avoid any self-doubt or self-indulgence. Instead focus on moderation in all things to keep any mood swings or excessive behavior at bay. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.
• Sign strength – Pisces and Aquarius provide the strongest sign influences today that factor in both Pisces’ sensitivity and compassion along with the Aquarian tendency toward aloofness and a discomfort with emotional expression. Should prove interesting.

• 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 – reassess perceptions to form a new path toward harmony with others (weakening influence)
  • Sun (12th/Pisces) sextile Uranus (1st/Taurus) – indicates the door opens for you to express an individual or unique approach
  • Venus (12th/Pisces) conjunct Pallas (12th/Aquarius) – suggests the use and awareness of patterns and strategy in both creative expression and relationships
  • Mars (2nd/Taurus) trine Pluto (11th/Capricorn) – describes a focus on goals and incorporation of the ideas of others in that process
  • 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 (1st/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

• Ascendant – Aries – describes an individual who is motivated and takes initiative. Self-reliance, self-assertion, and strong leadership skills are valued as well.
  • The Ascendant square the Midheaven (Capricorn) – describes balanced and reliable leadership skills that could benefit one’s career.
  • Saturn (11th/Aquarius) sextile The Ascendant – suggests bringing an enthusiastic attitude to your experiences
  • Chiron (1st/Aries) conjunct The Ascendant – indicates that inner awareness born from early childhood wounds may affect your life’s direction manifesting in compassion and empathy for others.
• 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 1st House of self and identity, the risk may involve containing the darker aspects of self and the control of one’s ego that may impact self-expression. A square with Mercury cautions against rigid thinking and the need for instinct and intuition to guide interactions with others. A weaker conjunct with Uranus influences setting your own course in life while a semisquare with Neptune suggests alignment with nature may provide a grounding influence which given Lilith’s square with Jupiter and excessive behavior, some grounding may be just what the Goddess ordered.
• 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 possibly in a communication-oriented field (Mercury trine The N Node).

• Lunar Phase ~ Waxing, Gibbous; 1st Qtr Moon on 19 Feb 2021 at 10:48 AM PST at 01°Ge20; Full on 27 February 2021 at 12:18 AM PST at 08°Vi57
• Mansion of the Moon ~ 11th – Azobra – 8°Leo34′; hair of the lion’s head, increases profits, positive for travel, taking captives
• Retrograde ~ Vesta – now in Virgo, look inward to better define your expectations of others so that you respect their boundaries, input or expertise

---

• Polarity – Masculine (10), Feminine (13) – receptive energies of compassion, reflection, and tolerance are favored today
• Elemental Influence ~  Earth (material concerns) provides the strongest influence with Water (emotions, empathy) and Fire (will, creativity, motivation) next in influence today. Air (intellect, reason, balance, communication) follows with a lesser influence.
• Energetic Sign Quality/Mode ~ Fixed sign qualities are the strongest today signaling stability is important followed by motivating Cardinal sign qualities. Mutable sign qualities are less suggesting that flexibility may be challenging today.
• Rays ~ The 1st Ray in its expression of will and power provides the strongest influence with the 2nd Ray of love/wisdom and the 6th Ray of devotion and idealism following in strength and effect. With the 5th and 7th Rays also having some influence today, this could be suggesting that truth may in fact influence perceptions and speaking truth to power may be favored. With the 3rd and 4th Rays in a much weaker position, however, intellectual expression, as well as problem-solving, may impact whether truth wins out over conspiracy. Any time the 6th Ray is strong, the risk exists for idealism to devolve into conspiracy thought patterns which has been the case for some time now. We’re still in a difficult time with people still asserting perception as fact. But with the balancing influence of the 2nd Ray, wisdom may indeed overshadow fantasy in our interactions with others.
