• Day – 1 – unity, wholeness, new beginnings
• Challenges – managing how your view achievement and the use of income along with managing responsibilities

Rune Divination ~ Thurisaz, Uruz, and Eihwaz comprise today’s rune divination where we carefully consider how our thoughts manifest. Uruz essentially represents the thought process behind the manifestation itself, while Eihwaz provides the path for Spirit to travel into our awareness. This really is the energy that shapes matter and the soul-force behind all that we perceive. Thurisaz, as Thor’s rune, breaks the ego’s hold on our perception to allow who we truly are as Spirit to manifest a more spiritual path forward.

Lunar position – Scorpio – With The Moon in Scorpio, intuition is strong and you’re focused on serious matters. If delays occur, instead of allowing frustration to arise, look for the message behind what is happening. Perhaps you need to take a different course and the delay is part of that process of realization. Refer to the current Esoteric Influences for more information regarding today’s influences.

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

Thor’s Hammer

• Vesta/Pluto R/Ceres – moderation is necessary in your relationships with others including avoiding asserting your own agenda or engaging in manipulation

Stellium

• Sun/Vulcan/Mars – as a new spiritual path opens today, guard against a lack of impulse control

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

• Mercury (1st/Libra) quincunx Uranus (8th/Taurus R) Orb 00°A03′ – self-discipline is necessary to avoid a scattered focus
• Saturn (5th/Aquarius R) semisquare Neptune (6th/Pisces R) Orb 00°A44′ – suggests manifesting a creative approach to daily tasks or a health-oriented situation

Goddess-oriented Planetary Interactions

• Sun (12th/Virgo) opposite Pallas (6th/Pisces R) Orb 00°A33′ – a reassessment may be required surrounding your approach to challenges
• Jupiter (5th/Aquarius R) trine Vesta (1st/Libra) Orb 00°S21′ – your focus today is on pursuing new experiences that expand your mind
• Jupiter (5th/Aquarius R) sextile Eris (7th/Aries R) Orb 00°S01′ – involves expression of social justice; reevaluation may be needed to avoid fanaticism
• Saturn (5th/Aquarius R) trine Ceres (9th/Gemini) Orb 01°S54′ – indicates early nurturing in childhood may have been lacking and may impact how you nurture both self and others
• Pluto (4th/Capricorn R) square Vesta (1st/Libra) Orb 00°S25′ – compromise is necessary with those in authority made more difficult by feelings of insecurity
• Pluto (4th/Capricorn R) sesquisquare Ceres (9th/Gemini) Orb 00°S16′ – nurturing others may be transactional in nature and balance may be needed
• Pluto (4th/Capricorn R) square Eris (7th/Aries R) Orb 00°S06′ – describing potential hidden agendas by others, or inner woundings that may impact self-mastery
• Chiron (7th/Aries R) trine Juno (3rd/Sagittarius) Orb 00°S26′ – suggests that healing may take place within partnerships today
• Vesta (1st/Libra) sesquisquare Ceres (9th/Gemini) Orb 00°S09′ – indicates that extending compassion for others may be challenging today
• Vesta (1st/Libra) opposite Eris (7th/Aries R) Orb 00°S19′ – your focus deepens today on a shared direction with others
• Ceres (9th/Gemini) semisquare Eris (7th/Aries R) Orb 00°S10′ – suggests nurturing others takes a more direct intention, possibly surrounding a unique situation

The Ascendant – Libra – a masculine, cardinal sign that suggests an individual who is concerned about others, initiates or takes action, and prefers harmony over conflict. At times, Libra individuals can rely too much on the reactions from others and can be indecisive, weighing out each side of a situation to the point of making no decision at all.

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 01°A36′)
• Ceres conjunct Lilith(Orb 03°S44′)
• Lilith conjunct The North Node/opposite The South Node (Orb 00°S31′)

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 04°S15′, medium influence)

Lunar Phase ~ 1st Qtr on 13 Sep 2021 at 1:40 PM PDT at 21°Sg16; Full on 20 Sep 2021 at 4:55 PM PDt at 28Ge13

Mansion of the Moon – 17th – Alichil – 25°Li’; crown of Scorpio; reverses destitution, strengthens love and buildings and assists sailors

Polarity – the feminine or receptive presence is having the strongest impact today.

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

---

Ray Influences – significant changes are in bold. Although the 3rd Ray of active intelligence is increasing today which suggests that adaptability to new ideas is stronger than it was yesterday, 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. With the 2nd Ray at the same strength as the 6th, the struggle over right action continues. This conflict impacts a variety of issues we’re collectively dealing with including the response over the Delta variant and the safety of children at school, the preference of some for conspiracy theory over facts, as well as the ongoing attack on the constitutional rights and safety of women.

• 1st (will/power) – low impact – creativity and inspiration is significantly less as is motivation and self-assertion
• 2nd (love/wisdom) – medium/strong impact– with the 2nd Rays decreasing it’s impact extending unconditional love, compassion, and understanding may shift somewhat today
• 3rd (active intelligence) – strong impact – adaptability to new ideas increases as does overall understanding
• 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
• 6th (devotion/idealism) – medium/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 and 6th Rays
• 7th (ceremonial order/magick) – low/medium impact– organization and general order may still be fairly challenging to achieve today
