Elemental Influence ~ The Water element is strongest today suggesting compassion, empathy, and flexibility are present.
Energetic Sign Quality/Mode ~ Mutable (flexible) sign qualities are strongest today suggesting adaptability or flexibility are required.
- 1st (will/power) – lesser impact – the expression of will is less today, creativity or inspiration may be reduced
- 2nd (love/wisdom) – strong impact – unconditional love, compassion, and understanding are easily offered to others
- 3rd (active intelligence) – medium impact – adaptability to new ideas is experienced but may need reinforcement
- 4th (harmony through conflict) – medium impact – signals that understanding cause and effect may be challenging and mediation may not go smoothly
- 5th (concrete knowledge and science) – medium impact – suggests that scientific knowledge is having a lesser impact on our decisions or has found integration within the same and isn’t as much of a factor given its general acceptance; intolerance of new discoveries may occur.
- 6th (devotion/idealism) – medium impact – The 6th Ray of devotion and idealism is a tricky influence in that if the 2nd Ray is less, we typically see an increase in gullibility and a single-minded approach. In other words, too much ideology or too much devotion affects our ability to view our experiences or beliefs in a realistic manner. That it has decreased from last week is a blessing and with the 2nd Ray still having a stronger effect, the more delusional aspects of this effect may be kept under control.
- 7th (ceremonial order/magick)- medium impact – organization and general order should be easily maintained today
