Rune Divination ~ Inguz, Hagalaz, and Isa comprise today’s rune divination with two powerful Norn runes influencing new experiences. Inguz provides the impetus for something new to form with its seed-like explosion of new energy infusing our awareness. From there, Hagalaz, the Norn rune of the past, reorders and restructures our life to allow for the new energy to impact and take effect. Isa, the Norn rune of the static realm, brings calm and peace to the experience, aligning us in Spirit, and focusing our attention on the new experience itself. So, whatever is beginning today, it should have a significant effect on our lives.
Lunar position – Leo – With the Moon in Leo, it’s time to be creative and have some fun with close partners and/or family. Your intuition and influence are both strong and others look to you for guidance. Choose activities that support well-being and strong-self-esteem. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.
Significant Aspects or patterns that may inspire or inform magickal workings.
Thor’s Hammer – Saturn R/Uranus/Vesta – reflection is needed on where you place your focus and how you respond to authority. Compromise may be in order.
Stellium – Moon/Venus/Mars – your interpersonal power is enhanced by your friendships and self-assertion needs to honor those relationships with interactions that are both positive and supportive.
Additional Aspects (Goddess planets, Lilith, Nodes, and Ascendant aspects follow in their own categories)
- Venus (1st/Leo) conjunct Mars (1st/Leo) – suggests expectations of others may be too high
Goddess-oriented Planetary Interactions
- Pluto (6th/Capricorn R) trine Vesta (2nd/Virgo) – describes strong investigative skills and the ability to implement plans and achieve goals
- Pluto (6th/Capricorn R) square Eris (9th/Aries) – describing the reevaluation of a possible obsessive focus on the path to self-mastery (Seltzer)
- Vesta (2nd/Virgo) opposite Pallas (8th/Pisces) – indicates that organization may be challenging
- Juno (4th/Sagittarius R) sesquisquare Eris (9th/Aries) – defines the masculine/feminine power structure within partnerships with the challenge to speak truth while still respecting boundaries
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 conjunct with Venus suggests that image is important
- A conjunct with Mars signals the willingness to take risks.
- A square with Uranus suggests conformity to social norms may be challenging.
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 suggests self-determination is favored while a sextile with Pallas requires a new strategy going forward.
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.
- 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 ~ New Moon on 9 July 2021 at 6:17 PM PDT at 18°Cn01; 1st Quarter on 17 July 2021 at 3:11 AM PDT at 25°Lib03
Mansion of the Moon – 11th – Azobra – 8°Leo34′; hair of the lion’s head, increases profits, positive for travel, taking captives
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 (3 days), Pallas (1 day), Eris (8 days)
Polarity – the masculine and feminine polarities are in roughly in balance with the feminine polarity having a slightly stronger effect.
Elemental Influence ~ The Fire (creativity, initiation, motivation), Earth (material concerns), and Water (compassion, emotions, empathy, change) elements are having the greatest impact today. Air (intellect, reason, balance) provides less of an influence.
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 impact (decrease) – extending unconditional love, compassion, and understanding may be challenging today
- 3rd (active intelligence) – medium impact (decrease) – adaptability to new ideas and understanding is less today
- 4th (harmony through conflict) – low/medium impact – signals that cooperative efforts and understanding cause and effect may be very challenging today
- 5th (concrete knowledge and science) –medium/strong impact (increase) – 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 impact (slight decrease) – organization and general order are easily managed today
