Sunday, 29 August 2021
- Numerology – 11
- Rune – Inguz
- Geomancy – Via
- Moon – Taurus until Gemini at 9:42 AM PDT
- Human Design Channels – Community
- Magickal Focus – Sun, clarity, truth, healing, courage, removing barriers, leadership
- Favorability for working magick: very bad
Higher Self is influencing today with both the Master 11 numerology signaling awakening, and Inguz, the 22nd rune from the Elder Futhark, offering its own energy for profound manifestation. Together with Via, they influence a new path forward. Although favorability for working magick today is not recommended, some trance work that focuses on inner truth may be in order.
As The Moon enters Gemini in the morning, your focus shifts to intelligent discourse with others. Self-expression comes easily; however, it may not be so with those closest to you. That said, remaining open and honest with your partner is the best course today.
Spend the day with family and enjoy the solitude that family life can provide. Avoid getting in your own way by expressing yourself in a manner that is neither extreme or judgmental, or disrespects the boundaries of others.
Aspects:
- Moon trine Mercury
- Moon Sesquisqure Venus
Magickal Correspondences
- Element – Fire
- Color – Gold, yellow
- Crystal – emerald, topaz, bloodstone, chrysolite
- Resin – mastic, frankincense, copal, saffron, red sandalwood, cinnamon, honey

Monday, 30 August 2021
- Numerology – 3
- Rune – Jera
- Geomancy – Conjunctio
- Moon – Gemini; Last Quarter at 12:13 AM PDT
- Human Design Channels – Community
- Magickal Focus – Moon, feminine magicks, healing, intuition, cycles, reincarnation, astral travel, balance, change
- Favorability of working magick: very bad
Today’s three numerology indicates an optimistic approach to life and with Conjunctio’s influence, unity with others is possible. Respect boundaries and enjoy the unfolding natural rhythm with others. Again, as with Sunday, trance work may be your best option to gain clarity today.
If others are experiencing grief or pain, your compassionate and nurturing nature will provide welcome relief, particularly regarding women in your life. They rely on and appreciate the bonds of intimacy you’ve developed together from which you benefit directly as well. If Reiki is part of your magickal focus, be ready to offer distance healing to anyone in need.
Collaborate with others to eliminate challenges before they become barriers to success. Remain realistic in your approach and be willing to reassess if necessary. Remember that a shared goal or outcome is better than the insistence on an individual agenda.
Aspects:
- Moon sextile Chiron
- Moon opposite Juno
- Moon conjunct Ceres
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
Tuesday, 31 August 2021
- Numerology – 4
- Rune – Hagalaz
- Geomancy – Cauda Draconis
- Moon – Gemini until Cancer at 10:26 PM PDT
- Human Design Channels – Community, Openness
- Magickal Focus – Mars influence, passion, manifestation, creativity, self-assertion, reducing conflict
- Favorability of working magick: neutral
As one phase comes to an end, you may find a complete restructuring of some kind is required. Hagalaz, a Norn rune that represents destruction within established boundaries, provides the structure for change without removing fundamental shared values and principles. Work a spell that uses the energy of Hagalaz and Cauda Draconis to restructure perception and bring a halt to negative forces.
As the Moon prepares to shift into emotional Cancer in the late evening, your emotions may be in flux. Empathy for others increases as does an interest in spiritual or esoteric subjects. If you end up feeling overly emotional or out of sorts, take a walk in nature to find your balance. Aromatherapy may also be helpful.
Keep conversations light to avoid interacting with negative influences or you may feel as if you are in the middle between two extremes. It’s important, however that you maintain your own sense of self so withdraw if necessary so that clarity is preserved.
Aspects:
- Moon sesquisquare Saturn
- Moon square Neptune R
- Moon square Pallas R
- Moon square the Ascendant
Magickal Correspondences
- Element – Fire
- Color – Red, rust
- Crystal – Amethyst, bloodstone, lodestone, diamond, jasper
- Resin – Juniper, dragon’s blood, red sandalwood
- Herbs – Absinthe, cayenne, basil, asafoetida, rue, garlic, black pepper, nettle, wormwood, onion, mustard, leeks, ginger, wolfsbane, thorny trees (Hawthorn)
Wednesday, 1 September 2021
- Numerology – 1
- Rune – Ehwaz
- Geomancy – Caput Draconis
- Moon – Cancer
- Human Design Channels – Community, Concentration
- Magickal Focus – Mercury, communication, interactions, balance, justice, revelation
- Favorability of working magick: excellent
As one period came to its end yesterday, a new experience begins today supported by both today’s numerology and Caput Draconis, the geomancy rune signaling new beginnings. This is a time to let go of outmoded perceptions and align with others in shared purpose, as expressed by Ehwaz, today’s rune from the Elder Futhark. Create and carry with you a mojo bag containing Ehwaz as well as a piece of citrine for improved awareness and energetic flow. Lavender may be helpful as well.
Now that The Moon is in Cancer, you may feel like staying home and taking care of the needs of family. In fact, this is likely one of your greatest strengths. Leave any decisions for another day until you feel more ready to deal with the outcome. Rely on past experience to assist you on the way.
You intuitively understand how to deliver what’s been promised, and it’s your higher principles that draw others to your leadership. Take a measured approach, even withdrawing to fully consider your perspective, and have the will to decline any offers that do not support your values.
Aspects:
- Moon sextile Vulcan
- Moon square Mercury
- Moon quincunx The South Node
Magickal Correspondences
- Element – Air
- Color – yellow, purple
- Crystal – Agate, emerald, fluorite, topaz, citrine, red marble
- Resin – benzoin, gum arabic, frankincense
- Herbs – marjoram, horehound, bergamot, cinnamon, lavender, caraway, cloves, licorice, mullein, peppermint, star anise, hyssop
Thursday, 2 September 2021
- Numerology – 2
- Rune – Wunjo
- Geomancy – Cauda Draconis
- Moon – Cancer
- Human Design Channels – Community
- Magickal Focus – Jupiter, social justice, healing, abundance, income, growth, achieving goals and desires
- Favorability of working magick: excellent
If an interaction with another becomes difficult today, silently intone Wunjo, even if only to support your own peace of mind. Understand the cause and effect of what’s occurred and choose to step back if necessary. Not everyone is of the mindset to respect individual differences and your integrity (and safety) are more important than continuing an interaction that devolves into conflict.
A strong intuitive sense will serve you well, particularly with others who find expressing their emotions to be challenging. That said, do not compromise your own boundaries to satisfy the selfish nature of others. Take time to rebalance your mind, body, and spirit through spiritual pursuits such as meditation or yoga. You may also benefit from moving your awareness outside the body and seeking solace in a higher vibratory state.
Find harmony with family and friends while rejecting all negative influences, especially those that focus on either fantasy or complete delusion. Realize that nothing you say may convince others of their unrealistic beliefs and it’s best to step away if no real solutions are possible. Sadly, the majority of people are now experiencing a delicate balancing act between truth and the fantasies of others.
Aspects:
- Moon square Venus
- Moon trine Neptune R
- Moon square Vesta
Magickal Correspondences
- Element – Air
- Color – Blue
- Crystal – sapphire, jasper, emerald
- Resin – balm of Gilead, ambergris, saffron
- Herbs – basil, agrimony, mints, dandelion, borage, bugloss, wood betony, hyssop, henbane, poplar, oak, plum, fig, meadowsweet
Friday, 3 September 2021
- Numerology – 3
- Rune – Ansuz
- Geomancy – Rubeus
- Moon – Cancer until Leo at 8:59 AM PDT
- Human Design Channels – Community
- Magickal Focus – Venus, compassion, love, harmony, attracting a partner, partnership issues, female sexuality, fertility, healing, friendship
- Favorability of working magick: excellent
Keep your vibrational awareness high so that the ego’s influence has no effect on today’s interactions. Remain on a healing path while protecting yourself from the choices of others. A ritual that focuses on both healing and harmony may be helpful.
With The Moon shifting into Leo in the morning, your influence over others is positive and optimistic. Now that COVID restrictions are increasing again, and precautions are necessary, your desire to have fun may center on immediate family. Cook the evening meal together, following that with a favorite movie or some other activity with those you love.
It’s an odd time in which we find ourselves now. Traditional values have been upended by extreme beliefs based on deception from outside influences, and it’s difficult to navigate through daily life without some level of fear. Stay vigilant and focused on the details of the moment so that you remain calm and balanced amidst the chaos and disorder created by some who have chosen conspiracy over truth.
Aspects
- Moon opposite Pluto R (weak influence)
Magickal Correspondences
- Element – Water
- Color – Green, rose
- Crystal – Turquoise, lapis lazuli, beryl, rose quartz, coral
- Resin – sandalwood, ambergris, musk, orris root
- Herbs – apple, rose, myrtle, bugloss (alkanet), burdock, feverfew, lilac, marshmallow, vervain, valerian, thyme, coriander, pears, elder, pomegranate, passionflower, raspberry, strawberry, blackberry, vanilla, yarrow, violet, plantain
Saturday, 4 September 2021
- Numerology – 4
- Rune – Sowilo
- Geomancy – Rubeus
- Moon – Leo
- Human Design Channels – none
- Magickal Focus – Saturn, restriction, bindings, summoning, harvest, purification, protection
- Favorability of working magick: excellent
Use the vibrational influence of Sowilo to maintain a Higher Self focus, particularly where practical concerns are the issue. Take control of your circumstances by working a spell for both protection and purification of intention. If the situation requires, and it likely will, invoke a binding that prevents harm from others. The presence of Rubeus today indicates that a misuse of force is possible, so take care that it’s not coming from you. The use of Sowilo to energetically bind them to Spirit may be helpful.
Relationships with others are important and play a role in your emotional security. Your compassion is strong and your experiences surrounding your own inner healing benefit those around you. But again, be certain that you have no agenda over how another individual chooses to see their own healing process.
There is a real need now for harmony and shared purpose given the chaos that is unfolding surrounding the protection of our children. Those confused individuals will reveal themselves in a manner that makes your choice clear and in the end, their own inadequacies will be their undoing. In other words, keep your children close to insure they follow all safety protocols, and/or keep them away from others who prefer conspiracy over truth.
