Friday is governed by Venus. Below are its corresponding energies as well as the current transit chart for the witch’s perusal. ~  et incipit magia


Magickal focus:  Venus governs; compassion, love, harmony, attracting a partner, partnership issues, female sexuality, fertility, healing, friendship

Time

  • Dawn – healing, new beginnings, study, purification
  • Noon – strength, opportunity, success, protection, wealth
  • Sunset – letting go, release
  • Night – spirituality, aligning with Spirit, healing, dreamwork, visions

Favorable/Unfavorable for Magick: very good – Further recommendations and a look at the rest of the week are both available here.

Correspondences

Numerology

  • Life Path – 1 – this number describes a life path or destiny involving leadership, independence, and a self-determined path
  • Day – 22 – Master Number, Cosmic Builder, profound soul-level change or manifestation
  • Challenges – balancing sociability, managing ego expression, and avoiding overreaction to or personalizing issues

Rune Divination: Hagalaz, Raidho, and Algiz comprise today’s rune divination where you restructure how you engage with others in a manner that reflects higher understanding. In alignment with the influence of today’s Master 22 numerology reflecting soul-level manifestation, Algiz draws down inspiration from higher self awareness while Hagalaz, the Norn rune representing the past, restructures perceptions in a manner that doesn’t impact fundamental spiritual values or principles. From there, Raidho promotes integration and harmony with others. 

Enter a meditative or trance state while standing, then raise your arms high to assume the runic structure of Algiz. From there, intone Algiz while drawing in higher awareness from Spirit. Shift next to intoning Hagalaz as you let go of perceptions that reflect ego, restructuring them within higher awareness drawn from Algiz. Finally, visualize a path forming in front of you as you intone Raidho while visualizing moving in harmony with others along that shared path.

General Patterns – As others turn to you for valuable insight, you need to understand all factors involved before sharing your viewpoint, especially if conflict is part of the situation. It may be that a hidden agenda is at work that intentionally or unintentionally is disrupting the process. Although it’s best to remain calm and avoid harsh judgment, it still may be necessary to redefine the direction you’re taking so that no further undermining occurs.

Lunar position: Taurus; Waning – The Moon square Jupiter reinforces the need to control excessive behavior. Meditation may be helpful, allowing you time to reflect on your feelings and all that you hope to achieve. If the time is right for truth to be revealed, allow that to happen so that the integrity of the relationship is preserved. The weekly esoteric influences are available here.

Significant Aspects or patterns that may inspire or inform magickal workings

Grand Trine – Mercury/Saturn/Ceres R/Lilith – plans made in collaboration with others today should flow smoothly and will benefit greatly from your experience and insight

Thor’s Hammer – Mars/Pluto/Ceres/Lilith – controlling your emotions will be required in the event that conflict arises and discernment will be necessary to gain both a greater understanding of all factors involved and to express that insight to others

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

  • Mercury (12th/Libra) opposite Chiron (5th/Aries R) – the past triggers the present today and someone may be unintentionally disrupting your experiences or plans; rise above the situation and move on without judgment
  • Mars (12th/Libra) trine Jupiter (4th/Aquarius) – self-confidence and motivation are high and you assert yourself well with others
  • Mars (12th/Libra) square Pluto (3rd/Capricorn) – you’re advised to remain in control should intense feelings surface, and to avoid pushing your own views or agenda onto others

Goddess-oriented Planetary/Fixed Star Aspects

  • Mercury (12th/Libra) trine Ceres (8th/Gemini R) – indicates that reflection is necessary so that you nurture others in a manner that provides valuable insight to others
  • Mercury (12th/Libra) sextile The Midheaven (11°Leo07) – you express yourself with clarity to others and a new opportunity may become available
  • Mars (12th/Libra) sesquisquare Pallas (4th/Pisces R) – suggests that you understand the overall situation before reaching any conclusions
  • Mars (12th/Libra) opposite Eris (6th/Aries R) – indicates tension surrounding self-expression with control-issues possible
  • Mars (12th/Libra) conjunct Spica at 24°Li08 – suggests the potential for brilliance
  • Mars (12th/Libra) conjunct Arcturus at 24°Li21 – indicates a different approach may be necessary
  • Jupiter (4th/Aquarius) sextile Juno (2nd/Sagittarius) – if seeking a love relationship, the way may open for that to happen today or to strengthen an already existing one
  • Pluto (3rd/Capricorn) semisquare Pallas (4th/Pisces R) – step back to understand the overall picture so that you avoid an obsessive focus
  • Pluto (3rd/Capricorn) square Eris (6th/Aries R) – describes potential hidden agendas by others, or inner woundings that may impact self-mastery
  • Pallas (4th/Pisces R) square Ceres (8th/Gemini R) – suggests a new strategy may be needed when nurturing others
  • Pallas (4th/Pisces R) semisquare Eris (6th/Aries R) – describes the need for a new strategy that reflects the overall picture before asserting your own opinion
  • Juno (2nd/Sagittarius) trine Eris (6th/Aries R) – indicates that self-assertion with close partners is favored and should flow smoothly
  • Lilith (8th/Gemini) conjunct Aldebaran at 10°Ge05 – suggests success is derived through integrity

The Ascendant: Scorpio – a feminine, fixed sign that suggests an individual who may exercise some restraint before initiating something new preferring to see how others manage something before diving in. That said, when Scorpio focuses in, that focus is quite intense in its expression. You’re independent and self-reliant with a strong will that will achieve your objectives. You are also highly perceptive and, at times, secretive, and you may experience difficulty with emotional balance.

Black Moon Lilith: 8th 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 8th House of transformation, death/rebirth, intimacy/sexuality this may be challenging with Lilith’s darker side potentially resistant to new experiences with others. Ideally, you need to accept the wild child within, respect your intuition and perception, while balancing discernment with engaging respectfully with others. This applies to work situations as well and the need to stay focused to avoid miscommunication as well as to keep your competitive attitude under control. The way through such transformation is to trust your instincts, embrace the shadow side of self, and focus on compassion and nurturing relationships with both self and others.

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. A quincunx between the North Node and The Ascendant counsels you to reflect on your strengths and weaknesses so that opportunities that come your way are assessed realistically.

Lunar Phase: Waning, 3rd Qtr on 28 Oct 2021 at 1:06 PM PDT at 05°Le37

Mansion of the Moon: 5th – Almices (A White Spot) – 21°Ta25′; fosters return from travel; increases scholarship; reinforces structures; promotes good health and good will

Retrograde: 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; 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 – indicates a focus on esoteric studies and original thought; Ceres – reflect on the manner in which you extend/receive nurturing and consider whether or not your approach is balanced and respectful of boundaries, both your own and those of others.

Upcoming retrogrades to be aware of: Beginning retrograde – Venus (20 Dec – 26°Cp29); Leaving retrograde – Pallas (9 Nov – 09°Pi03′); Neptune (2 Dec – 20°Pi24); Chiron (20 Dec – 08°Ar26)

Polarity: The masculine (projective) polarity is stronger today than the feminine (receptive) suggesting that although motivation and initiating new experiences are there, caution may be necessary in how we express that energy to avoid an aggressive response.

Elemental Influence: Elemental Air (intellect, reason, justice, interaction) and Fire (will, creativity, motivation) provides the strongest influence today with both in relative balance with each other. Earth (material concerns, physical presence) and Water (emotions, compassion, empathy) follow with a significantly lesser impact.

Ray Influences:  The average strength of the 1st Ray of will and power continues today suggesting that self assertion and tolerance of the views of others is more easily managed.

The 2nd Ray’s ongoing reduced strength indicates that compassion, empathy, and wisdom may still have little influence over your responses. With the continued decreased impact of the 6th Ray, although impulse control could still be an issue, it may not be as evident today.

The strong impact of the 3rd Ray of active intelligence signals a concern that although information may be organized and expressed well, a self-driven agenda instead of an outcome that is based on harmony and the preservation of a shared values may be influencing perceptions and behavior. 

The 5th Ray of concrete knowledge and science continues to exert an influence over your mindset and decisions, and the increased strength of the 4th Ray of harmony through conflict suggests problem-solving or finding common ground with others may be less challenging today.

Overall, the 7th Ray’s effect on balancing higher self with ego suggests that awareness of the greater picture may have an average impact on self-expression and decisions today.
