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

Magickal focus ~  Mercury governs, communication, interactions, balance, justice, revelation

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 bad – any magicks worked today will need to be carefully planned and executed. And it may be best to focus on spiritual or inner work. Today’s life path is a four indicating patience and self-discipline which could provide a meditative focus. Using the rune divination, the focus could also be on healing or re-balancing the polarity within. Burn some frankincense and lay some fresh or dried lavender sprigs next to where you’re sitting. Fluorite and citrine would be helpful as well as a purple candle(s).

Magickal Correspondences

Numerology ~ 7/28/2021

  • Life Path – 4 – this describes a life path or destiny involving patience, self-discipline, and diligence
  • Day – 1 – new beginnings, wholeness, unity, freedom, individualism
  • Challenges – managing the expression of individual power, balancing responsibility with play, and controlling sensitivity/overreaction while still respecting the feelings of others

Rune Divination ~ Thurisaz, Nauthiz, and Ehwaz comprise today’s rune divination where we overcome resistance and allow our focus to realign to a more balanced state. As Thor’s rune, Thurisaz heals and protects, breaking through resistance and obstacles we place in our path. Nauthiz, as the Norn rune of the future, both manifests and controls the will, drawing one’s focus to what is necessary. Ehwaz, visually Laguz forward and reversed, represents in this reading, the flow of our attention inward, and the expression of balanced polarity.

Lunar position –  Pisces until Aries at 2:58 AM PDT – As the Moon travels into Aries motivation and creativity increase. Ideas flow well and you not only express yourself with clarity, but you also embrace input from others. Be certain, however, that you balance your focus on work with some time for yourself. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.

Significant Aspects or patterns that may inspire or inform magickal workings.

T-Square – Pluto R/Eris R/Vulcan – reflection is necessary for how assertively you express yourself to others

Stellium – Sun/Vulcan/Mercury – interactions with others may take a spiritual focus today; listen more than you speak

Additional Aspects (Goddess planets, Lilith, Nodes, and Ascendant aspects follow in their own categories)

  • Mars (1st/Leo) opposite Jupiter (7th/Aquarius R) – suggests reflection is required so that grandiose or excessive behavior is controlled.

Goddess-oriented Planetary Interactions

  • Venus (1st/Virgo) square Juno (4th/Sagittarius R) – suggests expressions of love to a close partner may be challenging
  • Mars (1st/Leo) square Ceres (10th/Taurus) – offers the opportunity to express compassion to others
  • Jupiter (7th/Aquarius R) square Ceres (10th/Taurus) – suggests reevaluating how you express and receive nurturing from others
  • Pluto (5th/Capricorn R) square Eris (9th/Aries R) – describing the reevaluation of a possible obsessive focus on the path to self-mastery (Seltzer)

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 Mars signals the willingness to take risks
  • An opposition with Jupiter R suggests that engaging with others is important
  • A square with Ceres counsels a nurturing or compassionate approach to others

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, impacted today by a square with Mars. While an opposition with retrograding Juno warns indicates partnerships may be challenging, a conjunct with Ceres is asking you to express yourself in a compassionate manner. A semisquare with Eris R challenges you to assert yourself in a manner that is clear and respectful of boundaries with others, while a sextile with Mercury recommends you listen to your inner voice when expressing yourself. Lastly, 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.

  • Venus square The North/South Nodes suggests a decision is necessary surrounding both love and finances
  • 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
  • The Sun trine The South Node counsels you to live in the moment in order that you express your greatest potential

Lunar Phase ~ Full; 3rd Quarter on 31 July 2021 at 6:17 AM PDT at 08°Tau33

Mansion of the Moon – 1st – Alnath – 0°Aries; Horns of Aries; causes conflict and promotes travel

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 (2 days), Juno (direct in 5 days)

Polarity – the feminine polarity is the strongest today

Elemental Influence ~ The Fire (creativity, initiation, motivation) element is having the strongest effect today.

Ray Influences – significant changes are in bold

  • 1st (will/power) – strong impact (increase) – creativity and inspiration are strong today as is self-assertion
  • 2nd (love/wisdom) – low impact (decrease) – extending unconditional love, compassion, and understanding may be more challenging today
  • 3rd (active intelligence) – very low impact (decrease) – adaptability to new ideas and understanding may be greatly 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) – very strong impact – suggests that knowledge, in other words, what we now know, is having a significant impact on our mindset and decisions (possibly pandemic-related and/or 1/6 Commission-related)
  • 6th (devotion/idealism) – low impact (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 decreased effect, perception/ideology theoretically may be less of a factor, and even with the 2nd Ray at the same strength, idealism or gullibility may be less likely to impact outcomes today.
  • 7th (ceremonial order/magick) – low impact (increase) – organization and general order may be challenging to achieve today
