Rune Divination ~ Kenaz, Laguz, Sowilo – today’s rune divination suggests that we flow in the light of Spirit with higher awareness bringing clarity, revelation, and healing to our experiences. Kenaz, as the torch, illuminates our path and heals perceptions, while Sowilo provides self-confidence and the link between higher awareness and physical form. Laguz allows all of that light to flow into our daily experiences.
Lunar position – Gemini – Now that the Moon is fully in Gemini today, you may want to share your experiences with others with a lively debate possible. However, you know from experience that it’s best to respect the input and feelings of others and avoid a response that is impulsive or insensitive. Not everyone has the same level of self-confidence that you possess so observe boundaries and support the ideas of others. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.
Sign strength – Both Gemini and Pisces provide the strongest sign influences today involving expressions of sensitivity and compassion for others represented by Pisces, as well as the chatty, curious, and sometimes superficiality described by Gemini.
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 – this 3-point stellium reinforces letting go of habits and perceptions that no longer serve to foster creative and/or loving self-expression along a new path forward.
- Sun/Vulcan/Chiron – involves the courage to heal childhood woundings and instead using those experiences to offer compassion to others in pain or difficulty.
Yod (focal point – Vesta)
- Vesta/Saturn/Chiron/Ceres – With Vesta (6th/Virgo), as the focal point of the Yod, suggests that focus or commitment is lost or at least challenged. Saturn and Ceres sextile provides Vesta some assistance by nurturing Vesta toward strong organizational skills while Saturn sextile Chiron provides the ability for Vesta to express feelings that in turn assist others.
Thor’s Hammer (focal point – Pluto)
- Mars/Vesta/Pluto – similar in shape to the Yod, instead of the sextile we have a square with the sesquisquare replacing the inconjunct. Today’s Thor’s Hammer aspect involves a square between Mars and Vesta with sesquisquares between both Mars and Vesta with Pluto as the focal point. Vesta square Mars signals too great a focus on work in an effort to deal with repressed emotions or behavior. Together they reinforce obsession likely centered on repressed emotional damage from childhood. Evidently the repression is sublimated by working too hard. If so, take time to understand the reason behind your activity and resolve the issues that are bothering you.
Additional Aspects
- Mercury (12th/Pisces) conjunct Pallas – counsels a new strategy surrounding interactions may be required today regarding problem-solving
- 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.
- Uranus (1st/Taurus) trine Vesta (6th/Virgo) – suggests balancing a spiritual concern for the greater good and a motivation to help others with taking care of oneself as well
- 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: Mercury semisquare The Ascendant – signals some difficulty with self-expression and the need to be honest. A sextile between Jupiter and The Ascendant – describes an expansive personality that inspires others. Pallas semisquare The Ascendant – suggests that developing a strategy with others to solve problems could be challenging. South Node trine The Ascendant – indicates strong self-expression and influence over others. Can be superficial or manipulative. (weak influence)
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. A conjunct with Mars signals the need to gain some self-reliance and assert yourself more, while a trine between the North Node and Saturn suggests an enthusiastic attitude that can direct you into achievement in many areas.
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 – 6th – Athaya – 4°Gem17′; little star of great light; good for hunting, attacking cities, revenge of authority, destroys harvest, prevents doctors from healing
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 or feminine polarity is strongest today.
Elemental Influence ~ Air and Water (intellect/emotions) are the strongest influence today with Fire and Earth less of an influence.
Energetic Sign Quality/Mode ~ Mutable sign qualities are strongest today indicating flexibility and adaptability are influencing.
Rays ~ The Rays have changed a bit from yesterday with the 2nd Ray (love/wisdom) having a much 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.
The 3rd Ray of active intelligence has decreased somewhat as has the 4th Ray of harmony through conflict indicating that an underlying truth is less likely to be embraced, possibly concerning the aforementioned cult-like belief structure of the current conspiracy movement impacting our country.
The 5th Ray of concrete knowledge and science, is having a lesser impact today, suggesting that science (likely involving the pandemic) is being challenged again or that it’s less of a focus.
