Your leadership skills are sought after by others and you deserve recognition for your achievements. Any stagnation you might have been experiencing of late is likely coming to an end and if so, your sense of security should increase.
You’re filled with new ideas but discernment may be needed so that you stay focused on what is realistic to achieve. Remain open to the input from others and act from a position of strength. A new path is forming and following your heart will benefit you in the long run.
Avoid acting on impulse, however, and have the integrity to say no when it’s necessary to do so. Remain adaptable to new experiences as you collaborate with others in a manner that benefits the collective or group. An objective eye will help you understand the greater picture and achieve a level of clarity and success that others less capable cannot.

- Numerology – 9
- Rune – Isa

Both today’s nine numerology and geomancy rune, Cauda Draconis, signal that something unnecessary or unwanted is coming to an end. Perhaps it’s your own perceptions that are shifting and you now find peace in present moment awareness.
Although tensions may exist with a close partner today, it’s best to stay calm and allow the moment or situation to pass without taking the bait. With Mercury entering Retrograde today, it’s best to stay focused on what matters, keep your vibration high, and avoid thoughts that impact your peace of mind.
You may be inclined to hang on to traditional viewpoints but for real change to take hold you may need to reevaluate what you believe to be true. Listen to experiences that others have to share to get a more realistic viewpoint of a situation. Have patience with yourself as a new path unfolds.

Tuesday, 28 September 2021
- Numerology -1
- Rune – Mannaz
- Geomancy – Amissio
- The Sun in Libra; The Moon in Gemini until Cancer at 6:35 AM PDT
- Planets in Retrograde – Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Chiron, Pallas, Eris
- Human Design Channels – Charisma
- Magickal Focus – Mars influence, passion, manifestation, creativity, self-assertion, reducing conflict
- Favorability of working magick: very bad
With Mars influencing the day’s energies, your motivation is high today and you find meaning in collaborative efforts with others, likely due to the effect of the Sun in Libra. Any insecurity or hesitance to engage that might arise is overshadowed by the freedom you feel to express yourself in your own unique manner.
As the Moon shifts into Cancer, you naturally want to focus on nurturing those you love. Although interactions flow well, there could be someone you encounter who upsets the apple cart, so to speak, and it’s difficult to understand his or her motives. Stay calm and remain supportive until the situation becomes more clear.
If circumstances don’t resolve, it may be that something significant has occurred and resolution may be impossible, especially if an agenda is in play that doesn’t align with the collective values of the group. Your intuition will guide you toward higher awareness and with self-discipline and dedication, you’ll be back on track with no more interference.
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, 29 September 2021
- Numerology – 11
- Rune – Ehwaz
- Geomancy – Via
- The Sun in Libra; The Moon in Cancer
- Planets in Retrograde – Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Chiron, Pallas, Eris
- Human Design Channels – Charisma
- Magickal Focus – Mercury, communication, interactions, balance, justice, revelation
- Favorability of working magick: very bad
The rune Ehwaz describes the intuitive bond we share with others, and in a sense, it’s the runic depiction of self and the other side of self, flowing together in harmony as one soul expression. Use Mercury’s governance of the day as well as its retrograding influence to let go of perceptions that no longer serve you and allow the Master number 11 numerology to awaken you to a new path of harmony and integration with others.
A square between the Moon and Chiron suggests you might be more sensitive than you realize and therefore vulnerable to unexpected triggers from people close to you. If you step back to understand the overall picture, you’ll likely see that taking time for yourself is exactly what you need.
Remain open to the unexpected but be careful when offering your insights to others. The awakening suggested by today’s Master number influence may be more than others can handle, and a little sensitivity can temper a negative response or outcome.
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, 30 September 2021
- Numerology – 3
- Rune – Raidho
- Geomancy – Fortuna Minor
- The Sun in Libra; The Moon in Cancer until Leo at 5:54 PM PDT
- Planets in Retrograde – Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Chiron, Pallas, Eris
- Human Design Channels – Charisma; Acceptance
- Magickal Focus – Jupiter, social justice, healing, abundance, income, growth, achieving goals and desires
- Favorability of working magick: very bad
You may feel that others don’t necessarily understand or support your efforts today or you feel that your progress is thwarted by a lack of resources. Press on in spite of how you feel, balancing a focus on details with an imaginative approach. Raidho’s influence suggests that it’s the process that really matters so strive for integration and harmony in your efforts.
A square between the Moon and Mercury in Retrograde counsels you to take a step back before responding to a situation that could result in miscommunication if the entire picture isn’t clear. In addition, Pluto’s retrograde influence increases sensitivity and you may feel triggered by the emotions of others. That said, when uncomfortable emotions arise, it signals the need for healing old patterns. With Jupiter’s retrograding influence as well on Thursday, inner work is favored to help release preconceived notions and perceptions that impact your interactions with others.
Again, if you need help with a problem, have the inner resolve to either do your own research or to reach out to someone with more experience and then share what you learn with others involved. Expectations should be expressed clearly, but should circumstances change, be flexible enough to know what deserves your immediate attention and what can wait.

Friday, 1 October 2021
- Numerology – 1
- Rune – Wunjo
- Geomancy – Puer
- The Sun in Libra; The Moon in Leo
- Planets in Retrograde – Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Chiron, Pallas, Eris
- Human Design Channels – Charisma
- Magickal Focus – Venus, compassion, love, harmony, attracting a partner, partnership issues, female sexuality, fertility, healing, friendship
- Favorability of working magick: excellent
October begins with making plans for the coming month. With Venus governing the day and Wunjo as today’s rune, your thoughts turn to happiness with others, particularly with a close partner, friend, or spouse. That said, Puer’s unstable influence may threaten what you’re trying to achieve, so don’t allow any impulsive behavior to affect a positive outcome.
A sextile between The Moon in Leo and The Sun in Libra reinforces your desire to enjoy time spent with close friends or family. Set some ground rules regarding precautions if others from outside your immediate environment share in the festivities so that all are protected and then have some fun!
This is a time to nurture your relationships to foster feelings of positivity and acceptance. Be sure your actions align with your words so that trust is preserved. You’re entering a phase where is change is occurring and others depend on you to maintain your fundamental values and principles. And it may also be necessary to use discretion regarding what insights can be shared with others and those that you should keep to yourself for the time being.

Saturday, 2 October 2021
- Numerology – 2
- Rune – Inguz
- Geomancy – Puer
- The Sun in Libra; The Moon in Leo
- Planets in Retrograde – Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Chiron, Pallas, Eris
- Human Design Channels – Charisma; The Beat
- Magickal Focus – Saturn, restriction, bindings, summoning, harvest, purification, protection
- Favorability of working magick: excellent
As Saturn’s slowing effect is experienced today, maintain a steady focus to accomplish your objective. Puer’s scattered and impulsive influence likely won’t help you in that regard, however, and you may feel pulled between doing as you please and remaining self-disciplined. Understand what’s at stake and apply balanced reason to the situation at hand.
An opposition between The Moon and retrograding Jupiter counsels further restraint, especially if emotions are in flux or old wounds surface that trigger an impulsive response. If so, view it as a way to heal in a manner that finally puts the past behind you.
Focus on what truly matters today and assert yourself only as a last resort. You have the ability to succeed irrespective of any self-doubt you may experience, so stay vigilant and rise above the ego’s perception to express a higher awareness that will serve you better in the long run.
