Rune Divination ~ Hagalaz, Algiz, and Fehu comprise today’s rune divination where we reassess our perceptions by transmuting ego into Spirit awareness. The balance we typically think of in this regard deals with projective (masculine) and receptive (feminine) polarity. But the true balance we strike is in our awareness of who we are as aspects of the the Great Mother as Creator. We invoke her divine presence into our awareness with Algiz, the rune of the elk, protection, and the bridge between the realm higher consciousness and physical form. And then, with Fehu, a rune of transaction, we apply that awareness to our interactions with others as we cast the intention for a higher understanding to take hold.

Lunar position – Sagittarius; 1st Quarter at 1:39 PM PDT – You express yourself well to others and prefer collaboration to an individual approach. If you exercise some restraint and respect the boundaries of others, you’ll reach a better outcome. That said, an unconventional approach may also be welcome so don’t be afraid to offer new ideas. 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
• Vulcan/Mars/Ascendant (Libra) – raise your vibration high so that Higher Self informs your interactions with others

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

• Sun (12th/Virgo) opposite Neptune (6th/Pisces R) Orb 00°A45′ – although it may feel natural to allow others to define who you are, it doesn’t serve you in the long run. Go within to discover your own authority and then express that with grace and dignity to others.
• Mars (12th/Virgo) sesquisquare Uranus (8th/Taurus) Orb 00°A26′ – remain open to new ideas from others and motivated to achieve your goals
• Saturn (4th/Aquarius R) semisquare Neptune (6th/Pisces R) Orb 00°A41′ – suggests manifesting a creative approach to daily tasks or a health-oriented situation

Goddess-oriented Planetary Interactions

• Mercury (1st/Libra) quincunx Pallas (6th/Pisces R) Orb 00°A12′ – suggests the need for a different strategy when interacting with others with a focus on understanding the greater picture
• Venus (2nd/Scorpio) sesquisquare Pallas (6th/Pisces R) Orb 00°S17′ – you may feel overly-critical of a close partner today and caution should be observed
• Jupiter (5th/Aquarius R) sextile Eris (7th/Aries R) Orb 00°S19′ – involves expression of social justice; reevaluation may be needed to avoid fanaticism
• 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 01°S07′ – suggests that healing may take place within partnerships today
• Vesta (1st/Libra) opposite Eris (7th/Aries R) Orb 00°S51′ – 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
• Ceres (9th/Gemini) conjunct Aldebaran at 10°Gem05 indicates success is related to how much integrity we demonstrate in the process

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°A08′)
• Ceres conjunct Lilith(Orb 03°S51′)
• Lilith conjunct The North Node/opposite The South Node (Orb 01°S01′)

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.

Lunar Phase ~ Waxing; Crescent (self-assertion and the ability to accept challenges); 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 – 21st ~ Elbeda – 17°Sag8′; which is a desert; increases gain, harvest, building strength, and successful travel, causes divorce

Retrograde ~  Jupiter – inner reflection is warranted, centering 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 (13 days – 25°Lib28); Ceres (25 days – 12°Gem08′).

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) and Earth (material concerns, physical) next in strength and in balance with each other. Fire (will, creativity, motivation) follows and is increasing from last week.

---

Ray Influences – significant changes are in bold. The expression of will (1st Ray) is still impacting how we assert ourselves to others with lower vibrational energies having a strong effect over higher self awareness. Although the 3rd Ray has decreased a bit, adaptability to new ideas is still fairly strong today, and with the 4th Ray increasing somewhat, cooperative efforts may become stronger and more effective. And with the increased effect of scientific knowledge and what we fundamentally know to be true (5th Ray), scientific knowledge is having a better impact on our mindset and decisions. Lastly, looking at the imbalance between the 2nd (love/wisdom) and 6th (devotion/idealism) Rays, we see a shift from a stronger 2nd Ray effect to one that is now having a lesser impact on the expression of ideology of the 6th Ray suggesting that there may be a struggle between wisdom and ideology with women and children the likely victims.

• 1st (will/power) – low impact – creativity and inspiration is significantly less as is motivation and self-assertion
• 2nd (love/wisdom) – medium/strong impact– the impact on extending unconditional love, compassion, and understanding remains the same as last week
• 3rd (active intelligence) – medium/strong impact – adaptability to new ideas decreases as does overall understanding
• 4th (harmony through conflict) – low/medium impact – signals that cooperative efforts and understanding cause and effect are still challenging today but may be improving
• 5th (concrete knowledge and science) –low/medium impact – suggests that the impact of scientific knowledge is beginning to have an increased effect on our mindset and decisions
• 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 and 6th Rays
• 7th (ceremonial order/magick) – low/medium impact– organization and general order may still be fairly challenging to achieve today
