Magickal focus ~ Moon influence, feminine magicks, healing, intuition, cycles, reincarnation, astral travel, balance, change
Time
- Dawn – healing, new beginnings, study, purification
- Noon – strength, opportunity, success, protection, wealth

Favorable/Unfavorable for Magick ~ neutral – Workings that strengthen or heal relationships with others may be appropriate today particularly if difficult changes have been experienced. A purification ritual maybe used and if so, include white or silver candles on the altar. Carve the rune Ehwaz into the candle(s) to bind all involved toward a mutual outcome and increase feelings of unity and partnership. Selenite on the altar can also be useful as can burning myrrh in the cauldron.
Numerology ~ 3/8/2021
- Life Path – 7 – describes a solitary path filled with seeking spiritual awareness, wisdom, and balance.
- Day – 8 – mastery, achievement, leadership, finances
- Challenges – remaining focused and self-disciplined while maintaining a sense of inner harmony; maintaining balanced relationships with others.
Rune Divination – Tiwaz, Nauthiz, Ansuz – the spiritual warrior within invokes a self-disciplined approach to interactions with others. This divination aligns well with the day’s numerology of eight. Tiwaz represents the god, Tyr and a spiritual approach to leadership and greater harmony with others. Nauthiz, the Norn rune of the future, represents the inner friction to manifest something, in this case, the aforementioned spiritual approach to self-discipline and leadership. Ansuz, as Odin’s rune, expresses eloquence in our interactions with others reinforcing a Spirit-informed perspective.
Lunar position – Capricorn until Aquarius at 11:41 PM PST (VOC – 4:52PM PST – 11:40 PM PST) – You typically feel most secure when approaching tasks or situations from a risk-averse perspective, preferring a more measured approach. That said, if moved by the creative spark within don’t ignore or let that opportunity pass you by, because if emotions are in flux at all, it may serve to keep you balanced and focused today. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.
Sign strength – Capricorn and Pisces provide the strongest sign influences today balancing sensitivity and compassion with a disciplined, practical approach.
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/Neptune – with the addition of Venus, we have a 4 point stellium reinforcing a breakthrough in creative and/or loving self-expression along a new path forward. (reflects strong conjunctions between the Sun/Vulcan; Sun/Neptune; and a medium conjunction between the Sun and Venus)
Additional Aspects
- Sun (12th/Pisces) opposite Vesta (6th/Virgo) – suggests striking a better balance between career and inner well-being.
- Mercury (11th/Aquarius) semisquare Chiron (12th/Aries) – suggests the need to think before speaking today and to consider the viewpoints of others.
- Mars (2nd/Gemini) square Pallas (11th/Pisces) – 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: Pluto square The Ascendant – indicates possible tension in relationships if you cannot control your assertive or aggressive behavior; 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 strong square with both the North and South Nodes and Venus indicate the need to strive for equality in your relationships with others which may benefit a trine between Jupiter and the North Node (sextile the South Node) suggesting 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′; New Moon on 13 Mar 2021 at 2:22 AM PST at 23°PI03
Mansion of the Moon – 23rd – Caadebolach – 12°Cap51; swallowing; divorce, freeing of prisoners, healing
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 (9), Feminine (14) – a receptive presence is favored today
Elemental Influence ~ Earth energies involving material concerns are strongest today followed by Air (intellect, reason, balance, communication), and Water (emotions, empathy. Fire (will, creativity, motivation) is having a lesser impact.
Energetic Sign Quality/Mode ~ Cardinal sign qualities are strongest suggesting initiation and motivation are high today.
Rays ~ The 2nd Ray of love and wisdom provides the strongest influence over all other Rays today indicating the strengthening effect of both love and wisdom on our perceptions and interactions with others.
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 6th Ray of devotion and idealism today is slightly less of an influence suggesting that idealism may be expressed in a more rational manner..
The 3rd Ray of active intelligence has increased its effect on truth while the 5th Ray of concrete knowledge and science is having some impact as well. With the 4th Ray of harmony through conflict having the least effect today, however, a meeting of the minds may prove challenging.
