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 ~ excellent – with today’s 2 numerology, it might be best to focus on a ritual for balance today. Burn sandalwood on a piece of ritual charcoal (or in stick or cone form) and include moonstone and selenite on the altar to purify energies and bring balance. Place some moonwort seed pods on the altar if you have some to help access the trance state or to simply draw down lunar energies into the ritual. Burn mugwort in the cauldron or as a smudge for the same effect. A willow wand on the altar is also nice to include for protection or to direct energy. Invoke Hecate or Selene if you like to draw in goddess blessings into the ritual. Finish out with either silver or white candles or both if you feel called to do so.

Magickal Correspondences

  • Element – Water
  • Color – Silver, white
  • Crystal – Pearl, moonstone, selenite, beryl, marcasite
  • Resin – White sandalwood, camphor, aloe, myrrh
  • Herbs – almond, mugwort, moonwort, yellow ranunculus, palm, lily, willow, violet, poppy, fennel, iris

Numerology ~ 8/2/2021

  • Life Path – 1 – this describes a life path or destiny involving individuality, self-confidence, and setting your own course
  • Day – 2 – balance, decisions, reciprocity, compassion
  • Challenges – accepting others as they are, managing sociability and responsibilities to home and work

Rune Divination ~ Hagalaz, Tiwaz, and Algiz comprise today’s rune divination where protect what we have by transmuting ego into Spirit awareness in order that we restructure our perceptions. Hagalaz, as the Norn rune of the past, breaks down perceptions within a fixed framework so that what we’ve learned along the way doesn’t vanish from our awareness. Tiwaz, as the spiritual warrior within, provides the impetus for change and to stand up for what we know and believe. With Tiwaz we’re able to speak truth to power and with Algiz, the rune of both the Higher Self and protection, we draw down Higher Self awareness into that conversation.

Lunar position –  Taurus until Gemini at 1:47 AM PDT – With the Moon now in Gemini, ideas flow well, and in the 10th House, particularly so on the career front. That said, you may want to keep your opinions to yourself today so that tension doesn’t spill over into your interactions with co-workers. Compassion and empathy will go a long way to diffusing conflict. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.

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

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)

  • The Sun (12th/Leo) conjunct Vulcan (12th/Leo) – indicates the need to set your own course
  • The Sun (12th/Leo) conjunct Mercury (12th/Leo) – self-confidence is strong today and your creativity flows
  • The Sun (12th/Leo) opposite Saturn (6th/Aquarius R) – have patience today if obstacles prevent progress
  • The Sun (12th/Leo) trine Chiron (8th/Aries R) – if inner woundings arise today, you have the strength to put them in the proper perspective and move on
  • Mercury (12th/Leo) opposite Saturn (6th/Aquarius R)- self expression is affected today due to a lack of self-esteem
  • Mercury (12th/Leo) trine Chiron (8th/Aries R) – empathy for others is strong today
  • Venus (1st/Virgo) trine Uranus (9th/Taurus) – suggests relationships are frustrating and interactions do not flow smoothly

Goddess-oriented Planetary Interactions

  • The Sun (12th/Leo) trine Juno (4th/Sagittarius Currently R but SD later today) – suggests you may be in an advisory role with others
  • Mercury (12th/Leo) sesquisquare Pallas (8th/Pisces R) – interactions could be strained and a new strategy may be required.
  • Jupiter (6th/Aquarius R) square Ceres (10th/Gemini) – 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 – Virgo – a feminine, mutable sign that suggests an individual who is somewhat risk-averse and hesitant to engage with others until fully aware and comfortable. This individual has high expectations of self an others and prefers order to chaos

  • A conjunct with Mars promises the energy to pursue new goals and opportunities
  • An opposition with Jupiter R suggests that engaging with others is important

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 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 /SD 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 sextile The North Node/trine The South Node counsels you to live in the moment in order that you express your greatest potential

Lunar Phase ~ Waning; New on 8 August 2021 at 6:51 AM PDT at 16°LE14

Mansion of the Moon – 5th – Almices – 21°Tau25′; fosters return from travel; increases scholarship; reinforces structures; promotes good health and good will

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; 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 (17 days); Juno goes Direct today.

Polarity – the feminine polarity is strongest today

Elemental Influence ~ The Earth (material concerns, physical) element is having the strongest effect today.

Ray Influences – significant changes are in bold

  • 1st (will/power) – medium impact (decrease) – creativity and inspiration are average strength today as is self-assertion
  • 2nd (love/wisdom) – strong impact (increase) – extending unconditional love, compassion, and understanding happens easily today
  • 3rd (active intelligence) – very low impact – 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) – 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) – strong 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 lesser effect, perception/ideology theoretically may be less of a factor, and with the 2nd Ray having a stronger impact, idealism or gullibility may be less likely to impact outcomes today.
  • 7th (ceremonial order/magick) – low impact (decrease) – organization and general order may be challenging to achieve today
