- Day – 5 – pentagram, protection, courage, innovation, creativity, freedom
- Challenges – understanding and respecting the feelings of others/setting your own course in life/maintaining self-reliance
Rune Divination – Fehu, Raidho, Othala – today’s divination counsels a shared path forward to not only increase wealth but to ensure a shared legacy. General meanings: Fehu describes cattle or wealth that is moveable. It also casts intention within magickal workings. Raidho represents integration with others and forward momentum. Othala depicts tradition, ancestry, inheritance, and legacy.
Lunar position – Sagittarius – With the Moon in Sagittarius, you may at some point want to head off in your own direction particularly if emotional self-expression is challenging. It’s likely that your own issues with emotions are preventing you from sharing how you feel with others. That said, if you have responsibilities to others, make certain those issues are taken care of before doing your own thing today. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.
Sign strength – Pisces provides the strongest sign influence today balancing sensitivity and compassion with impracticality
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/Neptune signaling a breakthrough of a creative nature
Additional Aspects
- Sun (12th/Pisces) opposite Vesta (6th/Virgo) – suggests striking a better balance between career and inner well-being.
- Venus (12th/Pisces) semisquare Pluto (10th/Capricorn) – indicates the need to control obsessive impulses.
- Mars (2nd/Gemini) square Pallas (11th/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.
- Uranus (1st/Taurus) trine The Midheaven (Capricorn) – favors a unique or individual approach to your career with change likely.
Ascendant – Aries – describes an individual who is motivated and takes initiative. Self-reliance, self-assertion, and strong leadership skills are valued as well.
Aspects include: Jupiter sextile The Ascendant – indicates a compassionate and inspiring attitude that will attract attention from others; and Juno trine The Ascendant counsels you to understand the value of synchronous relationships in your life.
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. Lilith’s weaker square with Jupiter cautions against excessive behavior. A stronger square with Mercury involving interactions with others reinforces this caution. That said, a sextile with The Sun suggests the opportunity to expand your awareness, while a trine with Vesta counsels the use of daily ritual to bring balance and focus to your day.
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. Cooperation with others is necessary and may be difficult to achieve (Sun square N Node/S Node). 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 ~ Waning, disseminating; 3rd Qtr – 5 Mar 2021 at 5:31 PM PST at 15°Sag41′
Mansion of the Moon – 20th – Nahaym – 4°Sag17′; a beam; tames wild animals, fortifies prisons, destroys the wealth of societies, compels someone to a specific place
Retrograde ~ Vesta – now in Virgo, look inward to better define your expectations of others so that you respect their boundaries, input or expertise; Vulcan – in Pisces, go within to reestablish emotional balance and your own boundaries
Polarity – Masculine (12), Feminine (141) – polarity is in relative balance today with a slight favoring of projective or masculine influence
Elemental Influence ~ Fire (will, creativity, motivation), Air (intellect, reason, balance, communication), and Water (emotions, empathy) are in balance with each other and provide the strongest influence today, with Earth (material concerns) having a lesser impact.
Energetic Sign Quality/Mode ~ Mutable sign qualities are strongest indicating flexibility and adaptation is favored.
Rays ~ The 2nd Ray of love and wisdom has slightly less of an influence over the 6th Ray of devotion and idealism today signaling that love and wisdom may exert less of an effect on how we assert our ideals. Time will tell if that becomes problematic.
The 1st Ray of will and power and the 7th Ray of ceremonial order and magick are next in strength and in balance with each other suggesting that truth is favored and organized in a way that can be presented to others.
The 4th Ray of harmony through conflict, 3rd Ray of active intelligence and the 5th Ray of concrete knowledge and science have aligned in their lesser influence, suggesting that achieving a shared understanding of the truth may be impacted.
