Hey everyone!
Below you’ll find the current esoteric influences for the coming week. They include the day’s numerology, runes, lunar transits, as well as influences from the I Ching found in each day’s current Human Design chart. Note that both charts for each day, astrological and Human Design, are cast for 8:00 am. I’ve also added a section concerning retrograde planets. And for the magickally inclined, you’ll find a few correspondences to assist in spell work as well.
Have a magickal week and Blessings to all!

You feel loved and supported by friends and family who are there to help in any manner they can. Remain tolerant, especially if emotions are in flux, and accept any support that’s offered. Sensitivity increases as the Moon travels into Pisces in the early evening, so look beyond the moment to find the underlying message. This could be a time for healing both inner woundings as well as relationships with others.

Saturday, 16 October 2021
- Numerology – 7
- Rune – Othala
- Geomancy – Albus
- The Sun in Libra; The Moon – Pisces
- Magickal Focus – Saturn governs; restriction, bindings, summoning, harvest, purification, protection
- Favorability of working magick: very good
It may be best to take a step back from a situation today so that you gain a more realistic understanding of what is happening. Consult a mentor or advisor if necessary with the goal of preserving all that you’ve achieved thus far. A ritual for purification may be helpful.
The Moon in Pisces in semisquare with The Sun in Libra suggests that your energy may be low and patience will likely be necessary so that you avoid any emotional outbursts. Interactions with close partners may be impacted and may be best to let strong feelings go until another day. Realize that everyone may be walking an emotional tightrope so let today’s seven numerology influence a dispassionate response.
Mistakes made offer insight while moving in a new direction while any indecision experienced signals the need for more information. Trust the collaborative process you’ve established with partners, and avoid engaging with destructive or inferior influences.
