Rune Divination ~ Ansuz, Raidho, Hagalaz – we experience Hagalaz, the Norn rune of the past, again in today’s rune divination signaling that we’re still involved in reestablishing something new. Raidho represents integrated momentum with others, so in that regard, it signals a new path taken. But today, that path involves expressions of spiritual eloquence fostered by Odin’s rune, Ansuz. If we cannot talk to each other then it makes harmony difficult at best. But the opportunity exists now with Hagalaz to reform our relationships with others and improve communication.
Lunar position – Pisces until Aries at 11:12 PM PDT; VOC from 4:48 PM PDT to 11:11 PM PDT – Express empathy to others and extend a compassionate hand to those in need. Words matter, so if tensions arise, temper your response so that you don’t offend or cause harm. Take time for yourself if necessary to nurture your spiritual side and to offer the same nurturing to loved ones. 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)
- Venus/Ceres/Eris – describes values-based self-assertion balanced with nurturing others
- Sun/Venus/Eris – signals an independent, driven nature as well as a need for beauty, comfort, and ethics that impact your relationships with others
- Sun/Vulcan/Venus/Ceres/Eris – lots of power here also seen in the two 3 point stelliums above, and with the addition of Vulcan, we’re breaking up old paradigms and patterns to achieve perhaps a more dynamic relationship with others
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/Aries) semisquare Jupiter (11th/Aquarius) – suggests interactions that are expansive and given to exaggeration
- 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.
- Venus (12th/Aries) trine Juno (8th/Sagittarius) – indicates that relationships are valued in your life
- Mars (2nd/Gemini) opposite Juno (8th/Sagittarius) – signals conflict with others over expressions of independence
- 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
- Uranus (12th/Taurus) sextile Pallas (11th/Pisces) – signals original ideas that may make people sit up and take notice
- Uranus (12th/Taurus) sesquisquare Juno (8th/Sagittarius) – suggests the need for a partner who is independent and unique in their thinking
- Neptune (11th/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:
- Jupiter square the Ascendant – indicates benevolence and enthusiasm with the need to demonstrate self-discipline at times
- Neptune sextile the Ascendant – involves escapism and the need to stay away from chemically altered reality
- Lilith conjunct The Ascendant – suggests the shadow side of self may be in full view
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. In the 12th House of endings, things that are hidden (fears, enemies), the collective unconscious, karma, and service to others, Lilith’s darker side may impact relationships with others, with fear at the heart of a more solitary existence. A square between Saturn and Lilith balances rigid control with allowing the wild within to explore new attitudes and perceptions, while a sesquisquare with Lilith suggests that balance should be more strongly weighted on unrestricted self-expression. That said, a trine with Vesta in Virgo may bring out Lilith’s judgmental side and a less judgmental strategy may prove more effective (Pallas sextile Lilith) particularly within close partnerships (Juno sesquisquare 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 North Node and Saturn (sextile the South Node) suggests an enthusiastic attitude that can direct you into achievement in many areas
- Mercury sextile The South Node defines the above achievement as in the communications field
- Chiron trine the South Node indicates that profound growth from a difficult situation or illness in your life may benefit others
Lunar Phase ~ Waning; Balsamic; 3rd Qtr on 4 April 2021 at 3:03 AM PDT at 14°Cap51; New Moon in Aries on 11 April 2021 at 7:31 PM PDT at 22°Ar24
Mansion of the Moon – 28th – Arrexhe – 17d Pis8°34′; Pisces; increases harvest, protects travelers on a dangerous journey, increases joy between married couples, reinforces prisons and loss of possessions
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 (11), Feminine (12) – polarities are in relative balance today
Elemental Influence ~ Fire and Earth elements provide the strongest elemental influence today indicating that will and motivation are strong, and that material concerns such as security and finances are important today. Air (intellect, reason) and Water (emotions) are in balance with each other and having 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. Fixed sign modes are next in strength signaling stability is also favored.
Rays ~ The Rays continue today with the 1st and 7th Rays again providing the strongest collective influence. The 3rd Ray of active intelligence along with both the 4th Ray of harmony through conflict are impacting the expression of truth today indicating that there will be plenty of will and power (1st) to manifest (7th) a collective understanding or agreement even with the 5th Ray of concrete knowledge and science having a lesser influence. The strength of the 2nd Ray of love and wisdom over the 6th Ray’s expression of devotion and idealism suggests that wisdom may contain any fundamentalism or expression of conspiracy thinking.
