Rune Divination ~ Gebo, Eihwaz, and Nauthiz comprise today’s rune divination where we align in Spirit and use that energy to invoke balance with others. Nauthiz, as the Norn rune signifying the future, represents the will, or the friction within to manifest. In this case, we draw down influence from Spirit via Eihwaz, the rune that connects Spirit with the physical form. From there, we express Kenaz, the light of Spirit, in all directions with Gebo, also known as the gift of balanced energy exchange with others.
Lunar position – Gemini – You exude a level of confidence that drives success as you put in the time necessary to support your future. Your intuition is strong today and you express yourself with both feeling and clarity. In fact, it’s when you listen to and follow your inner voice and embrace what resonates both emotionally and intuitively that you will achieve the greatest success. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.
Sign strength – Gemini and Cancer provide the strongest sign influence today influencing communication and the expression of ideas (Gemini) as well as how we express and receive nurturing.

- Trine Jupiter, others are attracted to your enthusiasm, drive, and compassion
- Square Neptune, escape is possible in all forms
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. 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.
- Mercury conjunct the North Node/Node (opposite The South Node) indicates a career focused on communication
- Mars quincunx The South Node brings up issues of how past experience or karma influences your own warrior instincts
- 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
- Uranus quincunx The South Node alerts you to the need to flow with unexpected events
- Pluto sesquisquare The North Node/semisquare The South Node seems to suggest transformation surrounding both how you see past as well as the future
- Chiron trine the South Node/sextile The North Node indicates that profound growth from a difficult situation or illness in your life may benefit others
Lunar Phase ~ New Moon on 11 May 2021 at 12:00 PM PDT at 21°Ta17; 1st Qtr on 19 May 2021 at 12:13 PM PDT at 29°Leo01′
Mansion of the Moon – 6th – Athaya – 4°Gem17′; little star of great light; good for hunting, attacking cities, revenge of authority, destroys harvest, prevents doctors from healing
Retrograde ~ Juno – suggests a look inward in how you select, commit to, and interact with partners in your life; Pluto – inner transformation is favored.
Polarity – Masculine (9), Feminine (14) – the feminine or receptive polarity is strongest today
Elemental Influence ~ The Air and Water elements provide the strongest impact today suggesting intellectual/communication concerns as well as those of a more emotional nature are in focus. Earth (material concerns) is the next influence, while Fire (will, creativity) is having no effect today.
Energetic Sign Quality/Mode ~ Mutable sign qualities are strongest suggesting stability and routine are favored today. Cardinal and Fixed signs are less of an influence and in balance with each other.
Rays ~ The 2nd Ray of unconditional love and wisdom far exceeds all other Rays in its influence today as it heals and aligns our perceptions in harmony with others. Its counterpart, the 6th Ray of devotion and idealism, although increasing in strength, is still thankfully having a lesser impact on conspiracy thinking. When the 6th Ray is strong, gullibility or single-minded devotion controls individual and collective perception. The insurrection on January 6, 2021 is an example of 6th Ray influence run amok.
The 3rd Ray of active intelligence along with the 4th Ray of harmony through conflict, are having their own influence suggesting that we’re able, influenced by expressions of love and wisdom from the 2nd Ray, to come to an agreement with others.
The 5th Ray of concrete knowledge and science is having a decreased impact today indicating that information gleaned has already become part of the lexicon or isn’t as much of a factor today.
Finally, the 1st Ray (will/power) is having the least impact on our decisions while the 7th Ray (ceremonial order/magick) seems to draw from the other rays, particularly the 2nd Ray of love and wisdom, in how we manifest our way forward.
