Rune Divination ~ Berkano, Wunjo, Mannaz – Harmony with others is our natural state and today we come together with others to heal wounds and rifts that have been plaguing us for some time. Mannaz, as the rune of thought and memory, reminds us of who we are to each other. Visually we see a new day dawning (Dagaz) and the balanced energy exchange with others that is possible (Gebo). Laguz is also present in Mannaz suggesting that we flow in harmony together, supported by Wunjo, the rune of fellowship and joy, also visually present in Mannaz. From there, Berkano, the rune of family, fertility, and healing, also supports the idea of new beginnings found in Mannaz.

Stelliums (power interactions)

- Mercury (12th/Aries) conjunct Chiron (12th/Aries) – suggests a misperception surrounding communication with others that affects self-esteem when in fact, your strong empathy for others draw others in pain to you.

Black Moon Lilith ~ 12th House/Taurus — You may resist change while in Taurus and it may be difficult to move out of your comfort zone.

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.

This is likely due to the 2nd Ray of love and wisdom’s ability to contain the 6th Ray’s expression of devotion and idealism today.
