The Forecast for Thursday, 17 June 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
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 – with social justice issues on the minds of many, the witch could work a spell to achieve higher awareness, although that same awareness could be applied to any of the recommended workings whether it be achieving goals and desires, or healing and abundance of some kind. Workings to promote strong leadership skills are a plus and today’s rune divination including Tiwaz, Sowilo, and Algiz can be incorporated. Blue candles, three in all, on the altar with one rune carved into each one is also an option. Anoint them in oil and roll them in crushed borage leaves to promote justice and understanding, and incorporate today’s eight numerology for strength, courage, and leadership.

- Life Path – 1 – this describes a solitary life path or destiny involving independence and leadership
- Day – 8 – harmony, leadership, material gain and recognition

Rune Divination ~ Tiwaz, Sowilo, and Algiz comprise today’s rune divination where protection of self and others is based upon and supported by a shared truth. We draw down Spirit into our experiences today with Algiz, the bridge to higher consciousness. Sowilo, the rune of the will, invokes the same as above so below flow of energy, awakening us to a higher truth. Tiwaz, representing the god, Tyr, and the spiritual warrior within allows us to stand in our own power and set the example for others to follow.
Lunar position – Virgo; 1st Quarter Moon at 8:54 PM PDT – If frustrations occur, be mindful of your words so that you don’t impact interactions with close partners or friends. Today is a day where a grateful heart will go a long way to heal any misunderstandings that could happen. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.
Sign strength – Gemini and Cancer provide the strongest sign influences today influencing how we express and receive nurturing (Cancer) and, how well interactions flow with Gemini.
Significant Aspects or patterns that may inspire or inform magickal workings.
T-Square
- Mercury R/Vesta/Juno R – with both Juno and Mercury in retrograde, reevaluation of how you see yourself within partnerships and the expectations you have of others (Juno) as well as how well you express yourself (Gemini, Vesta). In this case, how you come across to others needs reflection. Are you compassionate in your tone? Are you able to convey your message in a manner that is easily understood by others? Be aware of this and more so that you don’t alienate the very people you need (and who need you) the most.
Additional Aspects (Goddess planets, Lilith, Nodes, and Ascendant aspects follow in their own categories)
- Sun (12th/Gemini) quincunx Pluto (6th/Capricorn R) – empathic awareness is strong today and you may be prone to vampiric intrusions. Shield, align, and allow energetic connections with others to dissolve today.
- Saturn (7th/Aquarius R) square Uranus (10th/Taurus) – suggests insecurity surrounding ability, authority, and compromise.
- Saturn (7th/Aquarius R) sextile Chiron (10th/Aries) – you embrace past emotional difficulties with resolve and awareness, providing assistance to others who are experiencing the same
Goddess-oriented Planetary Interactions
- Sun (12th/Gemini) square Pallas (9th/Pisces) – describes issues with authority
- Sun (12th/Gemini) sextile Eris (10th/Aries) – suggests strong motivation to succeed in your career
- Mercury (11th/Gemini R) square Vesta (3rd/Virgo) – indicates reevaluating your dedication to a particular area of study with a new direction possible
- Venus (12th/Cancer) sextile Vesta (3rd/Virgo) – indicates that home is a place for nurturing and comfort.
- Saturn (7th/Aquarius R) sextile Juno (5th/Sagittarius R) – indicates the desire for partners who are dependable and grounded or foster the same in you
- Uranus (10th/Taurus) conjunct Ceres (10th/Taurus) – indicates there may be issues with feeling nurtured by others
- Pluto (6th/Capricorn R) sextile Pallas (9th/Pisces) – indicates awareness of the path needed for transformation and personal growth
- Pluto (6th/Capricorn R) square Eris (10th/Aries) – describing the reevaluation of a possible obsessive focus on the path to self mastery (Seltzer)
- Chiron (10th/Aries) trine Juno (5th/Sagittarius R) – suggests supportive and compassionate feelings for others are expressed easily
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.
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 weak square with Jupiter cautions that your emotions and reactions may be heightened while a trine with Pluto transforms your inner strength to heal old wounds that impact your interactions with others (also involving a semisquare Chiron). All in all, a new strategy may be required going forward (sextile Pallas).
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 suggests an enthusiastic attitude that can direct you into achievement in many areas
- 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
- Eris semisquare The North Node/sesquisquare The South Node reinforces the need for self-control while asserting oneself. In Aries, Eris balances the feminine with the masculine, the goddess as spiritual warrior, and speaking truth to power may need some reevaluation.
Lunar Phase ~ Waxing, Crescent, 1st Qtr on 17 June 2021 at 8:55 PM PDT at 27°Vi09
Mansion of the Moon – 14th – Azimeth 17°Vir8′; the spike of Virgo; fosters marital love, heals the sick, increases sailor’s profits; prevents overland travel
Retrograde ~ Mercury – interactions may be challenging or misunderstandings could take place; use this time to check over details and reevaluate your communication style; 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; Upcoming retrogrades to be aware of: Jupiter (3 days), Neptune (8 days), Chiron (28 days), Pallas (26 days) ; Mercury goes direct in 5 days
Polarity – the masculine and feminine polarities are in relative balance today
Elemental Influence ~ The Fire element (creativity, will) and Water (creativity, emotions, compassion) are strongest today.
Energetic Sign Quality/Mode ~ Mutable sign qualities are strongest today suggesting adaptation and flexibility are high
Ray Influences – significant changes are in bold
- 1st (will/power) – medium impact – an average level of creativity or inspiration is present today
- 2nd (love/wisdom) – strong impact – unconditional love, compassion, and understanding are easily extended to others
- 3rd (active intelligence) – medium impact – an average level of adaptability to new ideas and understanding is present today
- 4th (harmony through conflict) – medium impact – signals that cooperative efforts and understanding cause and effect may be somewhat challenging today
- 5th (concrete knowledge and science) – medium impact – suggests that scientific knowledge is having an average impact on our mindset and decisions
- 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. With the 6th Ray’s strong effect, perception/ideology may be easier to manage.
- 7th (ceremonial order/magick)- strong impact – organization and general order have decreased today
