The Forecast for Monday, 26 July 2021
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 – although I prefer meditation on Mondays, today a witch might want to use the runes from today’s rune divination to create a bindrune to remain on a shared path that also assists the witch to understand the reciprocity involved self-expression. Whether or not you believe in the rule of three that essentially warns that whatever you send out comes back to you threefold, the intention a witch casts comes back in some fashion. Combine Raidho, Kenaz, and Nauthiz into a bindrune that the witch can carry as a talisman or charm. Wood discs can be used or a small square of paper. If you want to drop either in an infusion of mugwort to infuse the rune with astral energies prior scribing the bindrune, you’ll want to let that dry a bit (completely for the paper) before drawing it on the square of paper or drawing or burning it into a piece of wood.
Magickal Correspondences

Numerology ~ 7/26/2021
- Life Path – 2 – this describes a life path or destiny involving reciprocity, loyalty, patience, and observation
- Day – 8 – leadership, achievement, strength
- Challenges – balancing ego, managing sociability, and controlling sensitivity/overreaction while still respecting the feelings of others
Rune Divination ~ Raidho, Kenaz, Nauthiz comprise today’s rune divination with Raidho establishing a shared, integrated path with others. Nauthiz, the Norn rune of the future, invokes the friction within to manifest whatever we desire. And Kenaz, Spirit’s torch that lights our path, shows us the way forward.
Lunar position – Pisces – With the Moon in Pisces, intuition is strong and you’re focused on the more spiritual side of life. If interactions between you and a close partner become strained, it’s likely situational. You both may be reacting emotionally and given a little time, any conflict may resolve itself. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.

Black Moon Lilith ~ 10th House/Gemini — Interactions will flow smoothly while Lilith is in Gemini as long as you listen to the input from others. That said, 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 Vesta indicates you desire to work with others while a conjunct with Ceres is asking you to express yourself in a compassionate manner. A square with retrograding Jupiter suggests it’s time to expand your opportunities.
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 ~ Full; 3rd Quarter on 31 July 2021 at 6:17 AM PDT at 08°Tau33
Mansion of the Moon – 27nd – Algarf almuehar Alyhalgalmoad – 4°Pi17′; second drawing; increases harvest, income, healing; obstructs buildings, causes danger at sea, creates annoyance and mischief
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; Chiron – reflect on inner woundings, apply their message, and then move on; Eris – time to explore and reevaluate your expression of feminine power to maximize your potential; Upcoming retrogrades to be aware of: Uranus (27 days), Juno (direct in 7 days)
Polarity – the feminine polarity is strongest today
Elemental Influence ~ The Fire (creativity, initiation, motivation) and Earth (material concerns, physical form), and Water (compassion, emotions, empathy, change) are having the strongest influence today. Air (intellect, reason, balance) is having a lesser effect.
Ray Influences – significant changes are in bold
- 1st (will/power) – strong impact (decreasing) – creativity and inspiration are strong today as is self-assertion
- 2nd (love/wisdom) – medium impact (increasing) – extending unconditional love, compassion, and understanding should be easier today
- 3rd (active intelligence) – low impact (decreasing) – adaptability to new ideas and understanding may be impacted today
- 4th (harmony through conflict) – low impact – signals that cooperative efforts and understanding cause and effect may be challenging today
- 5th (concrete knowledge and science) – strong impact – suggests that scientific knowledge is having a significant impact on our mindset and decisions (possibly pandemic-related and/or 1/6 Commission-related)
- 6th (devotion/idealism) – medium impact (increasing, but in balance with the 2nd Ray) – 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 and even with the 2nd Ray at the same strength, idealism or gullibility may be impacting outcomes today.
- 7th (ceremonial order/magick) – low impact – organization and general order are impacted today
