Rune Divination: Ansuz (ᚨ), Algiz (ᛉ), and Eihwaz (ᛇ) comprise today’s rune divination where higher awareness is influencing your interactions with others. Algiz provides the bridge to higher consciousness from which Ansuz, Odin’s rune, allows you to draw in higher awareness so that you express yourself with eloquence and higher purpose. Eihwaz reinforces this principle by creating its own link between soul awareness and ego expression assisting you to flow in harmony with Spirit.
Energetic Influences
Polarity: The feminine (receptive) polarity is strongest today suggesting that compassion and empathy for others provide the strongest influence.
Elemental Influence: Water (emotions, compassion, empathy) and Earth (material concerns, physical presence) provide the strongest elemental influence today. Fire (will, creativity, motivation) follows with Air (intellect, reason, justice, interaction) having the least influence.
Ray Influences: The effect of the seven cosmic Rays essentially impacts the soul/ego balance at any given moment. As the Rays move through the universe and ultimately reach each individual, they color (or influence) our perceptions and behavior. If we perceive our experiences from a soul perspective, then our overall perspective resonates from a higher vibration; whereas, if we react from the standpoint of ego, our resonance becomes lower and more reactive.
So, for today, self-confidence influenced by the 1st Ray of Will and Power is increasing and you’re ready to take on new experiences. That said, the 2nd Ray influence of love and wisdom is having a lesser impact and indifference to others could be experienced. This is reinforced by the strong presence of the 4th Ray energy of harmony through conflict suggesting that you may be inclined to assert your own views over those of others.
The decreased strength of the 3rd Ray of active intelligence indicates that the ability to process information intellectually is less as is the reliance on scientific knowledge (5th Ray). And with the 6th Ray’s impact on devotion and idealism, the acceptance of shared truth may be compromised or discounted in some manner today.
However, taken together, the 7th Ray’s present impact on balancing higher self with ego suggests that a shared understanding of the overall picture may also be less challenging today so that achieving some insight is possible.

Significant aspects or patterns that may inspire or inform magickal workings
General Patterns – With the Ascendant now in Sagittarius, you are inclined to pursue your own path. However, the better option may be to drop some of your expectations and accept support from others, particularly if emotions signal some inner issues with impulse control that could be impacting your decisions. It may be that partners can provide insight that’s lacking to help you achieve your goals.
Lunar position: The Moon in Aries – If emotions are in flux it may be that issues are surfacing that have held you back. Go within and seek a higher counsel to maintain your focus on positive solutions. Some physical exercise may also be helpful to clear your thoughts and balance your emotions. The weekly esoteric influences are available here.
The Ascendant: Sagittarius – a masculine sign, Sagittarius acts with intention and purpose. In other words, you’re motivated and you take initiative. Also a sign that’s considered Mutable or flexible, a Sagittarius individual may love taking off on an adventure or seek new experiences. You’re honest and forthright and your enthusiasm for life generally has a positive or inspirational effect on others. That said, a Sagittarius individual can also be impulsive and tactless. An opposition with the North Node/conjunct the South Node suggests that you drop your expectations when encountering new experiences and flow in harmony with others.

T-Square – Mars/Saturn/Uranus R – your direct nature may prompt the urge to express yourself in a manner that could be off-putting to others; impulse-control is likely required

Black Moon Lilith: 7th 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 7th House of partnerships this may be challenging with Lilith’s darker side affecting expectations and 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. You 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.
