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, also reflecting a quincunx with Juno. A sextile with Neptune counsels stepping outside your own focus and aligning with nature to balance your fear while a conjunct between a conjunct between our dark Goddess and The Sun offers a bright spot to Lilith’s day supporting optimism and enthusiasm.
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

Polarity – Masculine (12), Feminine (11) – polarities are in relative balance today with the masculine or projective influence slightly stronger
Elemental Influence ~ The Air element provides the strongest impact today suggesting intellectual/communication concerns are in focus.
Energetic Sign Quality/Mode ~ Fixed sign qualities are strongest suggesting stability and routine are favored today. Mutable (flexibility, adaptability) sign qualities, however, are increasing.
Rays ~ The 4th Ray of harmony through conflict and the 2nd Ray of love and wisdom provide the strongest influences today suggesting you’re able, through expressions of love and wisdom, to come to an agreement with others today. The excessive expression of ideology from the 6th Ray of devotion/idealism is still thankfully having a lesser impact.
The 3rd Ray of active intelligence and the 5th Ray of concrete knowledge and science are next in strength suggesting that we’re relying on scientific knowledge when making decisions today.
Finally, the 1st Ray (will/power) and the 7th Ray (ceremonial order/magick) are both less of an influence on our ability to create and manifest our desires.
