Favorable/Unfavorable for Magick ~ very good – Given that Mercury governs Wednesday magicks, your working may want to focus on healthy interactions, or something justice-oriented, particularly after what the former guy put the country through. A spell to reveal truth may also be in order. I was outside at 3:45 am to watch the eclipse and worked a spell for truth as the eclipse was full.

Rune Divination ~ Wunjo, Fehu, and Raidho comprise today’s rune divination that describes casting the intention of integration and extending joy and fellowship to others. Wunjo describes fellowship and joy with Raidho providing the integration and harmonious movement. Fehu represents cattle or wealth, but it also signifies the sending rune in magick. So, with that energy we cast our intention to live in grace with others, our true measure of wealth.
Lunar position – Full Flower Super Moon; Full Blood Moon Eclipse; Sagittarius – With the Full Moon in Sagittarius you may want to strike out on a new adventure or begin a new project, a typical Sagittarian response to stress or conflict. You should know, however, that this may be a temporary situation, and instead of escaping on your own, it may be that old wounds are surfacing that now can be dealt with. Avoid making any decisions right now and focus on healing your inner dialogue. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.
Sign strength – Gemini, Cancer, Sagittarius, and Pisces provide the strongest sign influences today influencing how we express and receive nurturing (Cancer); compassion and intuition factors in with the addition of Pisces; and, interactions flow with Gemini. The addition of Sagittarius brings in energies of enthusiasm, vision, and an adventuresome spirit.

- An opposition with Juno R describes reevaluating your own role within close relationships and how you come across to partners.
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 relationships, interactions may be challenging with Lilith’s darker side impacting expectations of others. A sextile with Neptune counsels stepping outside your own focus and aligning with nature to balance your fear; whereas, a weaker trine with Pluto brings that into further focus by encouraging you to stand in your own power and honoring your inner knowing. A quincunx with Juno R suggests partnership issues may arise that are challenging you to think beyond yourself. All that said, a conjunct with The Sun indicates an optimistic attitude with the need for recognition which may impact Juno’s partnership concerns.
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 R (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

Ray Influences – significant changes are in bold
- 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) – strong 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 increased from last week is troubling. The love and wisdom found in the 2nd Ray may have its hands full until this subsides.
- 7th (ceremonial order/magick)- medium impact – organization and general order should be easily maintained today
