Numerology~ 9/7/2021

• Life Path – 3 – this describes a life path or destiny involving creativity, optimism, and networking with others
• Day – 7 – balance, observation, magick, spirituality, justice
• Challenges – taking a self-determined path, and respecting the feelings of others while avoiding overreaction

Rune Divination ~ Othala, Algiz, and Mannaz comprise today’s rune divination that draws Higher Self awareness into our interactions with others in preservation of shared traditions. These three complex runes influence the impact of Higher Self awareness on our collective or shared experiences and traditions. Protection is also a factor in that when we align together in a higher vibrational resonance, we protect all that we’ve created together. When lower energies are allowed purchase, the ego runs rampant and disrupts harmony and a sense of shared purpose. Mannaz represents the individual within society and visually we see Ehwaz, Dagaz, Gebo, and Kenaz contained within the rune, incorporating the influence of each one on how we build a society together. If things break down there, then establishing the essence of Othala, the rune of sacred space, ancestral heritage, and security becomes more difficult, which seems to be what’s occurring in our society today. The goal, as always, is to draw Spirit or Higher Self awareness into our perceptions so that our experiences become shared with others and the sacred space we share together is preserved.

Lunar position – Virgo until Libra at 8:21 PM PDT – While the Moon is still in Virgo, you may need to exercise some patience if interactions aren’t going as you like. Avoid overreaction so that you maintain your emotional balance. The situation is likely temporary and will pass if you give it little to no attention. Carrying a mojo or gris gris bag filled with dried lavender along with other calming items may be helpful. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.

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 and others and prefers order to chaos. A sesquisquare with Uranus counsels the need for discernment so that you choose partners that share your same focus.

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, this may be challenging with Lilith’s darker side potentially vulnerable to the judgment of others. Ideally, you need to accept the wild child within, the one who works from instinct, all while engaging respectfully with others. This applies to work situations as well and the need to keep your competitive attitude under control. The way through such is to focus on compassion and nurturing relationships with both self and others.

• Saturn trine Lilith (Orb 02°A05′
• Ceres conjunct Lilith(Orb 03°S34′)
• Lilith conjunct The North Node/opposite The South Node (Orb 00°S02′)

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.

• Ceres conjunct The North Node/opposite The South Node suggests that partnerships or shared experiences with women factor into your plans for the future (Orb 02°S22′, medium influence)

Lunar Phase ~ New Moon on 6 Sep 2021 at 5:52 PM PDT at 14°Vi38; 1st Qtr on 13 Sep 2021 at 1:40 PM PDT at 21°Sg16

Mansion of the Moon – 14th – Azimeth – 17°Vi8; the spike of Virgo; fosters marital love, heals the sick, increases sailor’s profits; prevents overland 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; 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; Uranus – stations retrograde today and indicates a focus on esoteric studies and original thought. Upcoming retrogrades to be aware of: Mercury (19 days – 25°Lib28); Ceres (31 days – 12°Gem08′).

Polarity – the feminine aspect of self is having the strongest impact today

Elemental Influence ~ Elemental Earth (material concerns, physical) is strongest today with Air (intellect, reason, justice, interaction) next in strength. Water (emotions, compassion, empathy) is having a lesser impact with Fire (will, creativity, motivation) having no impact.

---

Ray Influences – significant changes are in bold. The 2nd, 5th, and 6th Rays continue to suggest that facts are still having less of an impact for some as the struggle between wisdom and ideology continues. Although the 2nd Ray continues to be stronger than the 6th, both are still vying for position. Again, this likely pertains to the response over the Delta variant with our children potentially suffering the greatest harm. Or it could involve a more general preference of some for conspiracy theory over facts including SCOTUS allowing the most significant ban on abortion to go into effect in Texas.

• 1st (will/power) – low impact – creativity and inspiration is significantly less as is motivation and self-assertion
• 2nd (love/wisdom) – very strong impact– extending unconditional love, compassion, and understanding happens easily today with the expression of wisdom stronger than ideology
• 3rd (active intelligence) – low/medium impact – adaptability to new ideas and understanding increases today
• 4th (harmony through conflict) – low impact – signals that cooperative efforts and understanding cause and effect are still challenging today
• 5th (concrete knowledge and science) – very low impact – suggests that knowledge, in other words, what we now know, is having significantly less of an impact on our mindset and decisions (see above note)
• 6th (devotion/idealism) – strong impact – 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. Refer to the note above to show the relationship between the shared impact of the 2nd, 5th, and 6th Rays
• 7th (ceremonial order/magick) – low impact– organization and general order may still be challenging to achieve today
