Monday is governed by the Moon. Below are its corresponding energies as well as the current transit chart for the witch’s perusal. ~ et incipit magia
Magickal focus ~ The Moon governs, feminine magicks, healing, intuition, cycles, reincarnation, astral travel, balance, change
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 ~ very good – On this Moon day, some trancework or meditation can be used to rebalance your emotions and your perceptions allowing you to raise your vibration out of the realm of the ego and focused on who you are as Spirit. The Moon turns Full later on in the week and you can use today to prepare for that higher energetic resonance. Burn some sandalwood or myrrh in the cauldron, and drop in some dried mugwort to help you align in a higher vibration and hold a piece of selenite in your hand to reinforce the same.

Numerology ~ 7/19/2021
- Life Path – 4 – this describes a life path or destiny involving patience, self-discipline, and diligence
- Day – 1 – new beginnings, wholeness, unity, freedom, leadership
- Challenges – balancing control with non-resistance, work with play, and controlling sensitivity and overreaction while still respecting the feelings of others
Rune Divination ~ Hagalaz, Fehu, and Ansuz provide today’s rune divination suggesting a restructuring of your interactions with others. Ansuz, as Odin’s rune, involves eloquence and Spirit communication, whereas Hagalaz, as the Norn rune of the past, provides the restructuring required to perceive interactions from a higher vibration. Fehu, as the sending rune, casts the intention to others around us to interact in a more loving and respectful manner. The influence of Hagalaz may also transmute ego into Spirit, rendering it useless in its effect upon our relationships with others.
Lunar position – Scorpio until Sagittarius at 2:08 PM PDT – While the Moon is still in Scorpio, emotions may continue to be intense, but when it travels into Sagittarius, your focus may become more single-minded. You may find expressing emotions is challenging and that you’re intolerant of others. That said, you do tend to have a transformative effect on others, so face your feelings and take a moment to regroup if necessary. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.

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.

Polarity – the feminine polarity is stronger in its effect today
Elemental Influence ~ The Fire (creativity, initiation, motivation) 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 – creativity or inspiration are strong today as is self-assertion
- 2nd (love/wisdom) – low impact – extending unconditional love, compassion, and understanding is significantly less today
- 3rd (active intelligence) – medium/strong impact – adaptability to new ideas and understanding is strong today
- 4th (harmony through conflict) – medium impact – signals that cooperative efforts and understanding cause and effect have improved today
- 5th (concrete knowledge and science) –medium/strong impact– suggests that scientific knowledge is having an good impact 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 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
