Magickal Forecast for Thursday, 27 May 2021
Thursday is governed by Jupiter. Below are its corresponding energies as well as the current transit chart for the witch’s perusal. ~ et incipit magia
One note about yesterday’s forecast. In it I changed the Ascendant to Gemini which was incorrect. My husband and I were dealing with some food poisoning and I probably should have taken the day off, but evidently, although the charts I do in Solar Fire were correct, I had the date wrong on the Mac version of that software, set to May 6 instead of May 26. So that’s why the Ascendant changed to Gemini and some of the Houses were incorrect on the aspect listings, and I apologize for any confusion. Thankfully, we’re feeling much better today.
Magickal focus ~ Jupiter governs, social justice, healing, abundance, income, growth, achieving goals and desires.
Time
- Dawn – healing, new beginnings, study, purification
- Noon – strength, opportunity, success, protection, wealth
- Sunset – letting go, release
- Night – spirituality, aligning with Spirit, healing, dreamwork, visions
Favorable/Unfavorable for Magick ~ very good – Given today’s Crone phase of the Full Flower Moon, work some influence over healing and achieving goals. If social justice is your bailiwick, and in fairness what witch isn’t drawn to social justice issues, workings can influence preventing voter suppression and preventing police violence against our Black brothers and sisters, for example.
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
Numerology ~ 5/27/2021
- Life Path – 1 – describes a life path or destiny involving independence, leadership, and success
- Day – 9 – endings, completion, humanitarian, spirituality
- Challenges – managing responsibility and taking a self-determined path
Rune Divination ~ Algiz, Fehu, and Perthro comprise today’s rune divination where we determine just who controls our fate. As we metaphorically hang upside down from our own World Tree seeking enlightenment, are we controlled by the Norns or do we invoke Spirit into our awareness and proceed from there? Algiz would suggest that we drawn down Higher Self or Spirit into our awareness while we cast or send that awareness to the collective consciousness.
Lunar position – Crone phase, Sagittarius until Capricorn at 7:24 PM PDT; VOC from 10:35 AM PDT to 7:23 PM PT – If tensions arise, consider a compassionate response over taking the bait. If this surrounds a partner it may be best to step back and observe, giving your partner the space to work out his/her own issues. Take a walk together or just sit quietly, but it’s clear that a new strategy may be needed when respecting each other’s boundaries. 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.

The Ascendant – Cancer – a feminine, Cardinal sign that suggests that home is a place of safety and nurturing and that you approach life from a fairly risk-averse perspective. Compassion is favored as is a sense of vulnerability and sensitivity. Emotions may be in flux or moodiness may be experienced.
- A sextile with Uranus influences self-assertion and the focus on individual and collective rights
- A square with Chiron indicates a wise individual who is sensitive to the undercurrents of emotion and the collective consciousness
- A sextile with Vesta suggests including rituals such as meditation or yoga can be helpful in balancing or centering your emotions.
Black Moon Lilith ~ 11th House/Taurus — You may resist change while in Taurus and it may be difficult to move out of your comfort zone. In the 11th 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 (also Pallas sextile Lilith).
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 conjunct with The North Node/opposite the South Node and The Sun indicates the need for authentic self-expression
- 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
- 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

Mansion of the Moon – 21st – Elbeda – 17°Sag8′; which is a desert; increases gain, harvest, building strength, and successful travel, causes divorce
Retrograde ~ Juno – suggests a look inward in how you select, commit to, and interact with partners in your life; Saturn – reassess boundaries and how your structure your life; Pluto – inner transformation is favored; Vulcan – an inner breakthrough is possible. Upcoming retrogrades to be aware of: Mercury (2 days – you may begin to feel the shift before it retrogrades), Jupiter (24 days), and Neptune (29 days).
Polarity – the feminine or receptive polarity continues to be strongest today suggesting compassion, understanding, and healing are in focus
Elemental Influence ~ The Air and Water elements are strongest today suggesting a balance between intellectual and emotional expression
Energetic Sign Quality/Mode ~ Mutable sign qualities are strongest supporting flexibility and adaptability
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
