• Rune Divination ~ Nauthiz, Raidho, Wunjo ~ Anytime there is a Norn rune present in a divination, it signifies a higher resonance of energetic influence on our lives. In this divination, Nauthiz, the Norn rune of the future, counsels us to use the friction within to align in Source Presence to control our expression of will. Raidho, the rune signifying our collective journey, counsels us that the path forward is one that is taken in concert with others and that while the outcome is important, it’s the experience of it all, the process or path we take that provides the most meaning. In order that we achieve Wunjo, or joy, success, and fellowship in our lives, we must take that path together. Now, it may involve a shift in perception or will, but our soul has ability to invoke our will in a manner that achieves harmony and shared purpose with others. So take the time today to invoke your will to achieve a harmonious experience that benefits both self and others.

• Lunar position ~ Leo until Virgo at 9:08 AM PST (VOC – 3:31 AM PST to 9:07 AM PST) – As the Moon travels into routine-oriented Virgo, order becomes important as does a need for perfection. You may also need to balance your needs with those of others so that your own need for perfection doesn’t create impatience or unrealistic expectations of others. 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)
    • Chiron/Ceres/Ascendant – learning how to nurture and be nurtured is the issue here suggesting that inner awareness born from early childhood wounds may assist you in manifesting compassion and empathy for others
  • 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 (12th/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 (12th/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 ~ Maiden, 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 ~ 12th – Alsarfah – 21°Leo25; tail of Leo; increases harvest, obstructs sailors, promotes care for employees and 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.
