- Favorability for working magick: excellent
Avoid a sense of overconfidence today by stepping back to understand the cause and effect nature of the current situation. Instead, allow your perceptions to shift toward a higher level of understanding and draw inspiration from the collective aspect of Self.
The Moon in Capricorn has you feeling somewhat risk-averse today, and in the 8th House of death, rebirth, and transformation you may need a more inner focus. Although for the most part, you should have no trouble expressing your thoughts and feelings today, you may be drawn to drama surrounding the women in your life.
Stay focused but avoid an aloof approach that inhibits trust. Opportunities exist but are best discovered through limitation and/or a measured approach. Avoid scattering your energy and engaging in activity that will ultimately yield nothing of value.

Tuesday, 4 May 2021
- Numerology – 4
- Rune – Isa
- Geomancy – Tristitia
- Moon – Aquarius until Pisces at 7:08 PM PDT; VOC from 5:05 PM PDT to 7:08 PM PDT
- Human Design Channels – Concentration, Inspiration, Synthesis
- Magickal Focus – Mars influence, passion, manifestation, creativity, self-assertion, reducing conflict
- Favorability of working magick: excellent
It may feel as if your entire life has taken on a different feel or structure today. This is especially true if you’re experiencing grief or sadness. The rune Isa suggests an inner focus or alignment in Source Presence may be helpful when healing your wounded heart.
Your emotions may leave you feeling at loose ends and you may find it difficult to ask for what you need from others. Your typical outlet of gathering together with loved ones has been interfered with due to the pandemic. Reach out in other ways if you’re not fully vaccinated, but if you are, a visit to your family (vaccinated, of course) may be in order. Be certain to check with your local and state health guidelines as well to be sure of your area’s risk level. Your choices should reflect the reality of the situation instead of simply your own needs.
Exercise restraint and self-discipline, understanding that there may still need to be some creativity when resuming our lives together. Lessons learned over the past year will likely inform how we all move forward, but it seems clear at this point, the need to avoid contact with others may be coming to an end.
Aspects:
- Moon square Venus
- Moon sextile Juno
Magickal Correspondences
- Element – Fire
- Color – Red, rust
- Crystal – Amethyst, bloodstone, lodestone, diamond, jasper
- Resin – Juniper, dragon’s blood, red sandalwood
- Herbs – Absinthe, cayenne, basil, asafoetida, rue, garlic, black pepper, nettle, wormwood, onion, mustard, leeks, ginger, wolfsbane, thorny trees (Hawthorn)
Wednesday, 5 May 2021
- Numerology – 5
- Rune – Berkano
- Geomancy – Cauda Draconis
- Moon – Pisces
- Human Design Channels – Concentration, Inspiration
- Magickal Focus – Mercury, communication, interactions, balance, justice, revelation; Favorability of working magick: neutral
Cauda Draconis implies endings and the effect of the past on the present moment, while Berkano, an Earth element rune, fosters healing, growth, and new beginnings. Changes experienced today could be profound so use Berkano’s influence to protect self and others.
With the Moon in Pisces, sensitivity increases and you express empathy easily to others. In the 10th House, career is in focus as is the ability to speak truth to power. In addition, your need to feel emotionally fulfilled in your chosen career is as strong as your need for recognition.
You inspire others not only as a creative role model but also as the eternal student, leading others to collaborate in a shared purpose. Your willingness to engage in self-analysis fosters the same in others as does your self-discipline in the face of impulsivity. You instinctively understand how the past affects the present and you convey that understanding to others.
Aspects:
- Moon square Mars
- Moon opposite Vesta
Magickal Correspondences
- Element – Air
- Color – yellow, purple
- Crystal – Agate, emerald, fluorite, topaz, citrine, red marble
- Resin – benzoin, gum arabic, frankincense
- Herbs – marjoram, horehound, bergamot, cinnamon, lavender, caraway, cloves, licorice, mullein, peppermint, star anise, hyssop
Thursday, 6 May 2021
- Numerology – 6
- Rune – Ansuz
- Geomancy – Puer
- Moon – Pisces
- Human Design Channels – Concentration, Inspiration
- Magickal Focus – Jupiter, social justice, healing, abundance, income, growth, achieving goals and desires; Favorability of working magick: neutral
If impulse control is lacking today, you might want to channel that energy into something more routine or focused. If not, conversations with others could be impacted in a manner that interferes with harmony.
Step away if necessary and let your emotions settle if you’re feeling overwhelmed. A new strategy may be needed, especially if interactions aren’t as nurturing as you would like.
It may simply be that your focus is off and you need time away from others to reconnect to the creative process within. Perhaps a more realistic focus is needed, especially if you’re drawn to the current propaganda that’s influencing so many. Either way, time apart from others can foster a greater understanding and openness to their input, so take whatever time you need to find your center and renew your Spirit.
Aspects:
- Moon conjunct Neptune
- Moon conjunct Pallas
- Moon square Juno
Magickal Correspondences
- Element – Air
- Color – Blue
- Crystal – sapphire, jasper, emerald
- Resin – balm of Gilead, ambergris, saffron
- Herbs – basil, agrimony, mints, dandelion, borage, bugloss, wood betony, hyssop, henbane, poplar, oak, plum, fig, meadowsweet
Friday, 7 May 2021
- Numerology – 7
- Rune – Eihwaz
- Geomancy – Caput Draconis
- Moon – Pisces until Aries at 4:53 AM PDT; VOC – 12:36 AM PDT to 4:52 AM PDT
- Human Design Channels – Concentration, Inspiration
- Magickal Focus – Venus, compassion, love, harmony, attracting a partner, partnership issues, female sexuality, fertility, healing, friendship; Favorability of working magick: excellent
With truth at a minimum over the last few years, on this seven numerology day, your analytical skills should prove beneficial, especially if a situation or a conversation doesn’t ring true. Use the energy of Eihwaz to go within if necessary and seek counsel from Spirit, but know that something new could come to light today.
With the Moon traveling into Aries and the 11th House of relationships in the early morning, your independent streak is potentially at odds with spending time with friends. But if self-expression is impacted and frustration occurs, you might want to focus instead on your own emotional needs today.
Although you may indeed benefit from a more solitary creative process today, if others are involved, respect their input and acknowledge the experience they bring to the situation. Avoid unrealistic expectations and remain self-disciplined and your leadership will be appreciated by all.
Aspects
- Moon semisquare The Sun
Magickal Correspondences
- Element – Water
- Color – Green, rose
- Crystal – Turquoise, lapis lazuli, beryl, rose quartz, coral
- Resin – sandalwood, ambergris, musk, orris root

Saturday, 8 May 2021
- Numerology – 8
- Rune – Raidho
- Geomancy – Caput Draconis
- Moon – Aries
- Human Design Channels – Concentration, Inspiration
- Magickal Focus – Saturn, restriction, bindings, summoning, harvest, purification, protection; Favorability of working magick: neutral
With both the Moon in Aries and Caput Draconis appearing again today, you’re motivated to begin new projects. Raidho’s energy focuses on the process over the goal and with Saturn governing today, you might want to take stock of where you are in that process before continuing on.
Express your feelings with integrity and resolve today and be open to input from others. Otherwise, any impatience expressed could leave you on your own. Realistically, it’s best to balance your responsibilities with your own needs so that you present your best self so take time if necessary to restore your balance.
Avoid fixating on your own perspective so that you can clearly assess what’s happening from a more dispassionate viewpoint. Keep your own counsel so that if deception is perceived, you won’t tip your hand too soon. Seek harmony with those you trust while you remain ready to call out those who wish to only undermine the process.

- Moon square Mars (weaker influence)
