- Life Path – 11 – describes a life path of a humanitarian and spiritual messenger. Patience, cooperation, and loyalty are valued.
- Day – 2 – reciprocity, balance, polarity, healing, receptivity
- Challenges – sensitivity to the feelings of others; balancing ego expression; and, balancing responsibility with play.
Rune Divination ~ Ansuz, Kenaz, Inguz – we hear the voice of Spirit and resonate in its clarity (Ansuz). Kenaz lights our path with its divine light expressing Spirit to all. With both, we begin anew with the sudden expression of Source Energy expressed inward and outward by Inguz. So, this divination describes the sudden release of creation energy today, blessing both self and others.
Lunar position – Sagittarius; VOC begins at 10:23 PM PDT to EOD – If emotions are in flux or you feel irritable at all, know that this is likely situational and you may be better served by letting your feelings subside before expressing them. Take a walk or engage in some physical activity or if that’s not to your liking, get in touch with your creative side. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.
Sign strength – Aries provides the strongest sign strength today signaling motivation, independence, courage, decisiveness, assertive/impulsive, lacking tact.
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/Venus/Chiron – describes oversensitivity due to childhood woundings and how that impacts current self-expression and interactions with others.
- Sun/Vulcan/Chiron – involves the courage to heal childhood woundings and instead using those experiences to offer compassion to others in pain or difficulty.
- Venus/Chiron/Ceres – describes plenty of love and compassion for others but also a fear of expressing any of it or feeling vulnerable within relationships
Additional Aspects
- The Sun (12th/Aries) conjunct Ceres (12th/Aries) – describes the ability to nurture the self toward independence and self-determinism while expressing compassion to others
- Mercury (12th/Pisces) sextile Pluto (10th/Capricorn) suggests impatience with those who have difficulty understanding your message
- Venus (12th/Aries) conjunct Ceres (12th/Aries) – describes extraordinary compassion for others and the desire to nurture and protect.
- Jupiter (11th/Aquarius) sextile Juno (8th/Sagittarius) – indicates the optimistic effect of Jupiter within partnerships
- Saturn (10th/Aquarius) square Uranus (12th/Taurus) – describes issues with authority and compromise furthered on by inadequacy.
- Uranus (12th/Taurus) trine Vesta (5th/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 (8th/Sagittarius) – describes the need to see others realistically, especially when providing assistance or selecting a partner.
The Ascendant – Taurus – a Fixed sign that suggests stability, purposeful action, self-reliance, and structure are favored. Aspects are below:
- Mercury semisquare The Ascendant – signals some difficulty with self-expression and the need to be honest.
- Saturn square The Ascendant – suggests the need to develop self-restraint
- Uranus conjunct The Ascendant – indicates a unique perspective and the need for freedom of expression
- Vesta trine The Ascendant – indicates the need for ritual within routine and incorporating the idea of the sacred into all that you do.
Black Moon Lilith ~ 12th House/Aries — You may lack insight surrounding your own self-expression and believe that others are suppressing your voice when the opposite is likely true. In the 12th House of all things hidden, it suggests that you may be less likely to see that your own hand may be involved. Step back and see the greater picture and own your self-expression and choices. A sextile between Lilith and Jupiter expands awareness and possibly anger issues so again, be honest about your own involvement. A square between Lilith and Pluto as well as a sesquisquare with Vesta reinforces the need to look within and accept responsibility for choices made. A new strategic approach may be required (Pallas semisquare Lilith), particularly involving a close partnership (Juno trine Lilith).
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 The Sun and the South Node (also sextile the North Node) indicates the need to define who are in terms of your contribution to the collective.
- Venus trine The South Node (also sextile The North Node) suggests that relationships are tied into destiny with support from others available
- A conjunct between the North Node/opposite the South Node with Mars signals the need to gain some self-reliance and assert yourself more with others.
- A trine between the North Node and Saturn suggests an enthusiastic attitude that can direct you into achievement in many areas, specifically those involving communication (Mercury square The N Node/S Node).
- A trine between Ceres and the South Node/sextile The North Node suggests that a spiritual perspective may be helpful as will learning from the women in your life.
Lunar Phase ~ Waning, Disseminating; 3rd Qtr on 4 April 2021 at 3:03 AM PDT at 14°Cap51
Mansion of the Moon – 21st – Elbeda – 17°Sag8′; which is a desert; increases gain, harvest, building strength, and successful travel, causes divorce
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 (12), Feminine (11) – polarities are in relative balance today
Elemental Influence ~ Fire and Earth elements provide the strongest elemental influence today indicating that will and motivation is strong and that material concerns such as security and finances are important today. Air, and Water are less of an influence.
Energetic Sign Quality/Mode ~ Cardinal sign qualities are strongest today suggesting motivation is strong to initiate new experiences, projects, or interactions; however, both Fixed and Mutable are increasing in strength signaling stability and adaptability are present.
Rays ~ The Rays continue today with the 1st and 7th Rays providing the strongest collective influence. Both the 3rd Ray of active intelligence along with the 4th Ray of harmony through conflict in strong positions suggests that there will be plenty of will and power (1st) to manifest (7th) harmony with others through a collective understanding or agreement.
Although the 2nd Ray of love and wisdom can control the expression of the 6th Ray of devotion and idealism, it’s slightly less of an impact today suggesting that conspiracy or thinking or deception may be having a stronger impact today.
The 5th Ray of concrete knowledge and science has increased suggesting the expression of truth may be affected today.
