Rune Divination ~ Hagalaz, Gebo, Kenaz – in today’s rune divination, our relationships and interactions are transformed by the light of Spirit. Hagalaz, the Norn rune of the past, is also considered as the witch rune. It transforms our experiences within a fixed framework, much like magick itself. We transform our experiences using the light of Spirit and in the case of this divination, it centers on balanced exchange with others. So, this divination can be used to direct our focus toward healing our relationships with others.

Lunar position –  Leo – The Moon traveled into Leo last night at 11:11 PM PDT with the numerology suggesting a gateway or alignment with Higher Self awareness is illuminating your path. This may be helpful if self-assertion is challenging or if compromise is impacted. Try to see the greater picture and understand that each one is on his/her own path.  Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.

Sign strength – Taurus, Gemini, and Aquarius provide the strongest sign influence today with Gemini signaling the qualities of many ideas and communication-oriented, curious/superficial, overly chatty, and scattered thinking/perception/focus; Taurus influencing stability, values, routine, stubbornness, and self-indulgence; and Aquarius providing a group consciousness and humanitarian approach that may also rebel against the status quo.

Stelliums (power interactions) – note that the Sun and Eris are both conjunct at 29°/24°Aries suggesting the dynamic power of the feminine warrior within

• Sun/Vulcan/Ceres – expresses the courage to balance independence with the ability to nurture others, in other words, finding a better balance of inner polarity
• Sun/Mercury/Venus – suggests asserting oneself while remaining in harmony with others
• Sun/Vulcan/Ceres/Eris – indicates breaking up old paradigms and patterns to achieve more compassionate or nurturing interactions with others.
• Sun/Mercury/Venus/Uranus – describes an innovative approach to interactions with others

Additional Aspects

• The Sun (11th/Taurus) square Pluto (8th/Capricorn) – suggests strong self-expression due to past trauma or crisis leading to overreaction
• Venus (11th/Taurus) conjunct Uranus (11th/Taurus) – describes a need for individuality within relationships
• Venus (11th/Taurus) trine Vesta (4th/Virgo) – indicates that hearth and home provide a comfortable space for you to nurture and develop relationships with others
• Saturn (9th/Aquarius) square Uranus (11th/Taurus) suggests insecurity surrounding authority and compromise.
• Uranus (11th/Taurus) trine Vesta (4th/Virgo) – suggests balancing a spiritual concern for the greater good and a motivation to help others with taking care of oneself as well

The Ascendant – Gemini – a Mutable sign that suggests movement, activity, versatility, interaction-oriented, chatty, and sometimes superficial or scattered. A trine with Jupiter indicates the ability to draw others in via your enthusiasm, while an opposition with Juno suggests that caution should be taken to not overwhelm close partners with unrealistic expectations.

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
