Kenaz both lights our path and purifies our experiences, while Fehu invokes that higher awareness into our interactions with others.

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 – Venus/Mars/Ascendant – your interpersonal power is enhanced by your friendships and self-assertion needs to honor those relationships by extending compassion and love.

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 and a less risk-averse approach may be necessary

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) trine Ceres (10th/Taurus) – indicates strong nurturing of others
• 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 R) – 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 semisquare with Mercury suggests you may experience frustration in self-expression with authenticity a challenge
• A conjunct with Venus suggests that image is important
• A conjunct with Mars signals the willingness to take risks.

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 square with retrograding Jupiter asks you to look within to heal inner wounding, while a trine with Vesta counsels you to be aware of your expectations of others and to avoid micromanaging. Instead, a conjunct with Ceres advises a more nurturing approach.

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

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 – 12th – Alsarfah – 21°Leo25′; tail of Leo; increases harvest, obstructs sailors, promotes care for employees and 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; Pallas – reassess your overall understanding of situations and observe patterns as they unfold; Upcoming retrogrades to be aware of: Chiron (2 days), Eris (7 days)

Polarity – the feminine polarity is having the strongest impact today

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 much 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) – medium impact (increase) – extending unconditional love, compassion, and understanding may improve today
• 3rd (active intelligence) – medium/strong impact (increase) – adaptability to new ideas and understanding is better 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 (decrease) – suggests that scientific knowledge is having an good impact on our mindset and decisions
• 6th (devotion/idealism) – low/medium impact (increase) – 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 at the same strength, wisdom may overshadow gullibility or at least keep it in check.
• 7th (ceremonial order/magick) – medium impact – organization and general order are easily managed today
