Magickal focus ~ Jupiter governs, social justice, healing, abundance, income, growth, achieving goals and desires

- Sunset – letting go, release

Favorable/Unfavorable for Magick ~ excellent – After a few days of very bad favorability, it’s nice to see the way cleared today for a positive outcome. Use today’s rune divination to focus your intention on healing relationships with others. With Jupiter in retrograde right now, exploring this from an inner perspective is favored. Create a bindrune from Thurisaz, Ehwaz, and Wunjo to invoke harmony and joy with others. Cast your circle or create your sacred space and then meditate on each rune as you then arrange them in a pattern. Don’t forget to include the runes in their forward and reversed pattern as well if you like. In fact, drawing Thurisaz forward and reversed would essentially create the bindrune but any combination will be effective. Bless and consecrate the bindrune for healing relationships when you’re finished and carry it with you when you’re around anyone with whom you wish to reconnect.

Rune Divination ~ Ehwaz, Thurisaz, and Wunjo comprise today’s rune divination describing a breakthrough regarding our relationships with others. Visually, Ehwaz contains Laguz forward and reversed signaling that spiritually, we flow toward each other, while Wunjo defines that experience further by invoking joy and fellowship. If relationships have been strained, Thurisaz provides the impetus for changing that dynamic, allowing you to break through issues that have potentially strained relationships thus far.
Lunar position – Aries; Last Qtr at 2:10 PM PDT – Now that the Moon is motivated Aries, you express self-confidence and you are ready to move forward. However, if you react to others in haste or frustration, it may negatively impact the relationship you have with them. That said, you may find support from at least one close partner so make the most of that interaction and reevaluate your approach. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.

Goddess-oriented Planetary Interactions
- Mars (1st/Leo) trine Juno (5th/Sagittarius R) – suggests that independence and adventure are desired in a partner but that reflection is also needed so that you see that person for who they really are
- Saturn (7th/Aquarius R) semisquare Pallas (9th/Pisces) – suggests that problem-solving may be impacted within relationships or with a partner; further reassessment is needed.
- Neptune (9th/Pisces R) opposite Vesta (3rd/Virgo) – suggests that focus may be challenging and you may feel the need to escape from everyday issues

The Ascendant – Leo – a masculine, Fixed sign that suggests that behavior is purposeful, self-disciplined, and reliable. Although typically generous and sincere, Leo individuals can be arrogant and prideful and need to learn to balance power with compassion. A sesquisquare with Neptune indicates creativity may be less right now, while a trine with Juno R suggests a partner may provide just the creativity you need.
Black Moon Lilith ~ 10th House/Taurus — You may resist change while in Taurus and it may be difficult to move out of your comfort zone. In the 10th House of career, standing, and authority, interactions may be challenging with Lilith’s darker side potentially manipulating others to achieve power and control. A trine with Pluto R helps you transform your inner strength to heal old wounds that impact your interactions with others.
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.
- Chiron trine the South Node indicates that profound growth from a difficult situation or illness in your life may benefit others
- Juno R opposite The North Node/conjunct The South Node reinforces the need to hear the viewpoints of partners and be sensitive to their needs and feelings
- 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 ~ Waning, Disseminating, 3rd Qtr on 1 July 2021 at 2:11 PM PDT at 10°Ar14
Mansion of the Moon – 1st – Alnath -0°Aries; Horns of Aries; causes conflict and promotes travel
Retrograde ~ Jupiter – inner reflection is warranted and in Pisces, it centers on discovering inner truth; Neptune – discernment is a factor in this retrograde where you look within to determine truth from fiction and arrive at a more realistic understanding of the truths that surround you; 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: Chiron (14 days), Pallas (12 days)
Polarity – The masculine polarity is strongest today suggesting motivation is high.
Elemental Influence ~ The Fire (creativity, initiation, motivation) element is having the greatest impact today.
Ray Influences – significant changes are in bold
- 1st (will/power) – strong impact (increase) – creativity or inspiration are strong today as is self-assertion
- 2nd (love/wisdom) – low/medium impact (decrease) – extending unconditional love, compassion, and understanding may be challenging today
- 3rd (active intelligence) – strong impact – adaptability to new ideas and understanding is stronger today
- 4th (harmony through conflict) – low impact – signals that cooperative efforts and understanding cause and effect may be very challenging today
- 5th (concrete knowledge and science) –medium impact – suggests that scientific knowledge is having an average effect on our mindset and decisions
- 6th (devotion/idealism) – low impact (decrease) – 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 increased effect, perception/ideology theoretically may be more difficult to manage but with the 2nd Ray having a stronger impact on wisdom, gullibility may be kept in check.
- 7th (ceremonial order/magick)- medium/strong impact (increase) – organization and general order are easily managed today
