Magickal focus ~ The Moon governs, feminine magicks, healing, intuition, cycles, reincarnation, astral travel, balance, change

Favorable/Unfavorable for Magick ~ neutral – Using today’s rune divination, enter a meditative or trance state to gain clarity and influence a positive outcome. If using Odin as your guide, ask him for assistance in gaining clarity over a potentially deceptive situation. Intone Ansuz and wait for his response. Visualize Sowilo, radiating the vibrant energy of Spirit and allow your consciousness to become one with the rune. Draw in its solar power and let it bathe you in its divine light. From there, draw Nauthiz across your torso beginning at the top of your head to imbue your awareness with the light of Spirit and the friction within to manifest truth. When you’re ready, return to full consciousness and consider what you’ve learned from the experience that can inform the choice you need to make.

Rune Divination ~ Sowilo, Nauthiz, and Ansuz comprise today’s rune divination suggesting that you may be forced to take action today to contend with some potential deception or other conflict (Nauthiz). Sowilo’s energy can help heal the situation or can provide the light that reveals the truth. It can also illustrate where you’ve been focusing your attention (or in this case, where you’ve not). Ansuz, as Odin’s rune, provides the rational influence that allows you to see all sides of the situation and the reality that you’re dealing with. Nauthiz provides the inner will to set things right.

Lunar position – Taurus until Gemini at 6:24 PM PDT – As the day progresses and the Gemini Moon approaches, you may feel like interacting with others. But until that time, emotions may increase and any truth you’ve been hesitant to reveal may come out without warning. Focus on expressing yourself with integrity and compassion to achieve the most healing outcome. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.

---

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 (decrease) – creativity or inspiration are strong today as is self-assertion
• 2nd (love/wisdom) – low/medium impact – 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 (increase) – 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 – 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 (decrease) – organization and general order are easily managed today
