Rune Divination ~ Othala, Ansuz, Ehwaz – Ehwaz signals binding together toward a mutual end and with the presence of Ansuz, Odin’s rune, the mutual end may involve a shared awareness of spiritual truth. Ansuz describes the voice of Spirit and our expression of eloquence and divinity. Visually, Laguz, forward and reversed, comes together to create Ehwaz, suggesting that our natural tendency is to blend our energies together in harmony with each other. In other words, we energetically flow together. It’s our natural state. Othala, the final rune of the Elder Futhark, among other things, describes our legacy and collective tradition, but visually, it’s comprised of Kenaz, the torch or light of Spirit, in all directions, both inward and outward. That would suggest that in terms of our greater collective awareness, we might begin in some form of individuality, but along the path, we discover that individuality is a mere illusion and that each one of us is the other side of self for someone else. We grow together and realize we have always been one in Spirit and that truth exists as well while in physical form.
Lunar position – Gemini – With the Moon now in Gemini, you potentially enjoy an easy exchange with others. However, if your emotional balance feels off it may be that you’re avoiding your responsibilities today in favor of engaging with others. Or it’s that interactions with women in your life leave you feeling frustrated or misunderstood. Let your intuition guide your decisions in that regard. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.
Sign strength – Both Aries and Gemini provide the strongest sign influence today signaling motivation, independence, courage, decisiveness, assertive/impulsive, lacking tact (Aries); and, idea and communication-oriented, curious/superficial, overly chatty, scattered.
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) – note that the Sun and Eris are both conjunct at 25°/24°Aries suggesting the dynamic power of the feminine warrior within
- 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/Mercury/Ceres/Eris – signals balancing how you express compassion for others with self-assertion along with the ability to speak truth to power in a manner that preserves integrity.
- Sun/Vulcan/Venus/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, nurturing, and committed relationship with others.
Additional Aspects
- The Sun (12th/Aries) Mars (2nd/Gemini) – signals strong self-assertion today
- The Sun (12th/Aries) square Pluto (9th/Capricorn) – suggests strong self-expression due to past trauma or crisis leading to overreaction

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.
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 ~ New Moon in Aries on 11 April 2021 at 7:31 PM PDT at 22°Ar24; 1st Qtr on 20 Apr 2021 at 0:00 AM PDT at 00°Le25

Elemental Influence ~ The Air element is having the strongest impact today suggesting intellect, reason, and rationality are in focus.
Energetic Sign Quality/Mode ~ Sign qualities are in relative balance today
Rays ~ The 2nd Ray of love and wisdom has overtaken the 1st (will/power) and 7th (ceremonial order/magick) Rays in strength today with wise choices and awareness influencing our interactions with others. From there, the 3rd Ray of active intelligence along with both the 4th Ray of harmony through conflict and 5th Ray of concrete knowledge and science have maintained their strength and 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. The continued 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.
