Rune Divination ~ Ehwaz, Wunjo, Isa ~ today’s rune divination involves aligning in fellowship and shared purpose. Ehwaz, a Water element runes, suggests change, momentum, and the intuitive bond we share collectively with each other. Wunjo, as the wish rune, invokes joy, fellowship, and harmony, while Isa, as the Norn rune of the static realm or present moment, represents our becoming, will development and conscious focus. Particularly with Isa and Wunjo, the focused alignment in joy and fellowship is a conscious decision to awaken to the fundamental truth that we are one in the collective consciousness. From there, we join together in Ehwaz, its message one of binding us together toward a shared mutual end or purpose.

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 letting go of habits and perceptions that no longer serve to foster creative and/or loving self-expression along a new path forward.
Yod (focal point – Vesta)
- Vesta/Saturn/Ceres – With Vesta (6th/Virgo), as the focal point of the Yod, suggests that focus or commitment to one thing or another is lost or at least challenged. Saturn and Ceres sextile provides Vesta some assistance by nurturing Vesta toward strong organizational skills.
Additional Aspects
- Mercury (12th/Pisces) conjunct Pallas – counsels a new strategy surrounding interactions may be required today regarding problem-solving
- Venus (12th/Pisces) conjunct Neptune (12th/Pisces) – suggests maintaining a more realistic view of both self and others within relationships
- Mars (2nd/Gemini) sextile Chiron (12th/Aries) – indicates invoking the inner will to speak on behalf of others
- Mars (2nd/Gemini) trine Saturn (11th/Aquarius) – suggests that self-discipline is strong
- Saturn (11th/Aquarius) square Uranus (1st/Taurus) – describes issues with authority and compromise furthered on by inadequacy.
- Neptune (12th/Pisces) square Juno (9th/Sagittarius) – describes the need to see others realistically, especially when providing assistance or selecting a partner.
- Chiron (12th/Aries) conjunct Ceres (12th/Aries) – this provides the sensitivity to not only see your own childhood woundings with clarity but to assist others in the same process.
Ascendant – Aries – Self-reliance, dedicated, focused describes the Aries personality. You take initiative and approach tasks with enthusiasm. Challenges are perceived as purposeful and your many ideas provide a variety of solutions.
Aspects include: North Node sextile/South Node trine The Ascendant – indicates strong self-expression and influence over others. Can be superficial or manipulative.
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.
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.
Lunar Phase ~ Waxing, Crescent; New Moon on 13 Mar 2021 at 2:22 AM PST at 23°PI03; 1st Qtr on 21 March 2021 at 7:41 AM PDT at 01°Can12
Mansion of the Moon – 4th – Aldebaran – 8°Tau34′; eye/head of Taurus; destroys buildings, water sources, gold mines, prevents winged insects from escaping, fosters conflict
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 (7), Feminine (16) – receptive or feminine polarity is strongest today.
Elemental Influence ~ Earth and Water (material concerns/emotions) are the strongest influence today with Fire and Air less of an influence.
Energetic Sign Quality/Mode ~ Mutable sign qualities are strongest today indicating flexibility and adaptability are influencing.
Rays ~ The Rays remain the same as yesterday with the 2nd Ray (love/wisdom) having a stronger effect on the 6th Ray of devotion and idealism. This is critical so that cult-like belief structures are called out for what they are.
The 1st Ray (will/power) is next in influence and along with the same for the 7th Ray (ceremonial order/magick) is suggests that our will is powerful enough to manifest the love and wisdom from the 2nd Ray.
Although less than the 1st, 2nd, and 6th Rays, the 3rd Ray of active intelligence is at the same strength as the 4th Ray of harmony through conflict indicating an underlying truth that wishes to be revealed, likely concerning the aforementioned cult-like belief structure of the current conspiracy movement affecting our country.
The 5th Ray of concrete knowledge and science, is having the least impact today, suggesting that science (likely involving the pandemic) has either been accepted or that it’s less of a focus today.
