Favorable/Unfavorable for Magick ~ excellent – using today’s rune divination, create a bindrune to carry with you as a talisman to draw Source Vision into your interactions with others. Read over the interpretation below and then craft your bindrune. You’re welcome to use my example, or create your own. But with this bindrune, I began with Algiz and then added Uruz and Kenaz to draw Spirit into whatever I manifest. If we could begin thinking about all that we do or say and whether it comes from Higher Self or ego and then choose Higher Self (Spirit), we might all be better off in the long run. We can learn from the effect of our actions but given that we’re souls focused into bodies, I don’t see why we can’t know that now and operate from that vision.

Rune Divination ~ Uruz, Kenaz, Algiz comprise today’s rune divination where we manifest our experiences in a manner that invokes Higher Self awareness. Uruz, as the Source Vision behind our thoughts and behavior, provides the Higher Self or Spirit influence on what and how we manifest thought into form. Kenaz, as the torch or light of Spirit, illuminates our perceptions so that we see and understand the greater picture. Algiz, as the elk rune or rune of protection, draws down Spirit awareness into form. You almost see yourself raising your hands in supplication to Goddess presence with Algiz, as you ask for Her blessings.
Lunar position – Leo until Virgo at 7:56 AM PDT – Routine becomes important today as the Moon travels into Virgo during the morning. Avoid a self-indulgent attitude and stay on task. Intuition is strong and you have a greater understanding of where people are coming from. That said, relationships with women may be challenging today signaling a lack of emotional integration on your part. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.
Significant Aspects or patterns that may inspire or inform magickal workings.
Yod – Mercury/Pluto R/Pallas R – interactions with others can be quite transformative and inspirational during this time if you’re willing to reflect on how you bring out the best in others.
Additional Aspects (Goddess planets, Lilith, Nodes, and Ascendant aspects follow in their own categories)
- Venus (1st/Virgo) opposite Neptune (7th/Pisces R) – discernment is compromised today within close relationships that centers on unrealistic expectations of others
Goddess-oriented Planetary Interactions
- Mercury (12th/Leo) quincunx Pallas 7th/Pisces R) – confusion may result when approaching challenges today and a greater understanding of the patterns involved may be required.
- Mercury (12th/Leo) trine Eris (8th/Aries R) – self-assertion flows smoothly today and you’re able to speak your truth
- Mars (12th/Leo) square Juno (4th/Sagittarius) – you require a partner who is as independent as you are so be cautious with whom you spend your time.
- Saturn (5th/Aquarius R) trine Vesta (2nd/Libra) – suggests leadership and management skills that preserve and enhance collaborative efforts
- Pluto (5th/Capricorn R) sextile Pallas (7th/Pisces R) – indicates the ability to inspire others, fostering a service-to-others focus
- Pluto (5th/Capricorn R) square Eris (8th/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
- A square with Juno indicates equality is necessary to satisfying relationships with others
Black Moon Lilith ~ 9th 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 9th House of higher education, journeys, religion, and values may be challenging with Lilith’s darker side potentially vulnerable to the judgment of others. A conjunct with Ceres suggests the way through is to express yourself in a compassionate manner.
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.
- Mars square The North Node/South Node describes tension or confusion surrounding how you approach new experiences
- Juno 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 ~ Waxing; New; 1st Quarter on 15 Aug 2021 at 8:20 AM PDT at 23°Sco00
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; 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 (10 days)
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 – 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) – low impact (decrease)– adaptability to new ideas and understanding may be difficult today
- 4th (harmony through conflict) – low impact (decrease) – 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 (increase) – The 6th Ray of devotion and idealism is typically kept in check by a strong 2nd Ray influence. 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 strong effect, perception/ideology theoretically may have more of an impact on ideology today, but with the 2nd Ray having a stronger impact, maintaining control over idealism or gullibility may be take a delicate balance.
- 7th (ceremonial order/magick) – lowimpact (decrease)– organization and general order may be less challenging to achieve today
