The Forecast for Tuesday, 6 July 2021

---

Tuesday is governed by Mars. Below are its corresponding energies as well as the current transit chart for the witch’s perusal. et incipit magia

Magickal focus ~ Mars governs, passion, manifestation, creativity, self-assertion, reducing conflict

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 ~ neutral – plan a working to take place in the Noon hour to manifest new opportunities. Today’s rune divination suggests that something new is on the horizon that is collaborative in nature, so work a power spell using a red candle to kick start the experience. Begin your working as you typically do, casting a circle or creating sacred space. Burn some frankincense and/or dragon’s blood resin in a small cauldron (or in stick or cone form). Drop a pinch of basil on the charcoal as well. Carve the rune, Kenaz, onto the candle and then anoint the candle with a carrier oil of your choice, then roll the candle in some dried nettle for courage and self-empowerment and then focus your intention on the candle flame. See it expand to light the possibilties for success. Visualize a doorway opening to someone new and see that person become part of the collaborative experience. When you’re satisfied with what you’ve seen, close out the working with whatever chant or simple command you prefer to invoke the new experience into reality.

Numerology ~ 7/6/2021

• Life Path – 9 – this describes a life path or destiny involving compassion, duty, and service to others.
• Day – 6 – balance, harmony, grace, pragmatism
• Challenges – equal treatment of others and taking a self-determined path

Rune Divination ~ Sowilo, Jera, and Wunjo comprise today’s rune divination where the light of Spirit again moves through our perceptions and experience. Hidden within each rune is Kenaz, the torch, or the light of Spirit, that lights our path suggesting that we be aware of synchronicities that occur for the underlying message they provide. Jera suggests abundance and success while Wunjo indicates joy, happiness, and fellowship with others. Wunjo could actually be drawing someone to you today that has a positive impact on collaborative efforts. Both Sowilo and Jera indicate the return of the light or the return of spring, and the first signs of growth. So it would appear that today’s rune divination is suggesting that something new is beginning, collaborative in nature, that could yield positive results, or abundance.

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