Rune Divination ~ Tiwaz, Raidho, Nauthiz – today we’re to stand both in power and truth (Tiwaz) as we move in harmony with others (Raidho), invoking Spirit into our interactions, needs, and desires (Nauthiz). As the Norn rune of the future, Nauthiz invokes the will within to bring our focus to a concentrated point. From there, that focus expands into new experiences which, defined by Raidho, involves either self-integration or integration with others. For the spiritual warrior to rise up, we must understand our fundamental truth that we arise for the collective at all times, even when it seems it’s only for the individual. What we do individually has an effect on the collective conscious of which we are an integral part.

Lunar position –  Gemini – Caution should be taken in cultivating relationships with others so that their motives do not undermine your sense of balance and purpose. It may be that you need rely on your intuition to form a better strategy when selecting partners that actually support your values and principles. 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.

• 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/Mercury/Eris – we’re breaking up old paradigms and patterns to achieve more dynamic interactions with others.

Additional Aspects

• The Sun (12th/Aries) trine Juno (7th/Sagittarius) – describes the ability to advise and protect others
• Mercury (12th/Aries) square Pluto (9th/Capricorn) – cautions against tuning out the input of others and taking a harsh tone.

The Ascendant – Gemini – a Mutable sign that suggests movement, activity, versatility, interaction-oriented, chatty, and sometimes superficial or scattered.

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.

• 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
• Chiron trine the South Node indicates that profound growth from a difficult situation or illness in your life may benefit others
• Pallas square the N Node/S Node suggests a new strategy may be beneficial when understanding the viewpoints of others

Rays ~ The 2nd Ray of love and wisdom continues its stronger effect over all other Rays today with the 1st (will/power), 5th (concrete knowledge and science) and 7th (ceremonial order/magick) Rays suggesting that wise choices made from fundamental or scientific knowledge are influencing our interactions with others. From there, the 3rd Ray of active intelligence along with the 4th Ray of harmony through conflict 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 or overshadow any fundamentalism or expression of conspiracy thinking.
