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.

The path opens for you to pursue new experiences if you don’t allow old paradigms to hold you back. Your creativity is on full display for others to appreciate and you feel supported in your new endeavor.
Should interactions with others become tense when sharing your plans, some flexibility and patience may be necessary. Although you feel compelled to assert your own position, you may find that you need to choose your words carefully. Forces beyond your control may be in play and given time, the situation may pass on its own.
Your values and principles define you and you have the discipline necessary to act with a level of humility that brings lasting spiritual growth. And although you prefer collaboration with others, you have the self-determination if necessary to proceed on alone.

A project you’ve been working on may come to a successful completion today giving you room to focus on other goals. Today’s 22 Master numerology signals profound change is possible, so don’t hesitate to explore ideas that in the past you may have felt were unreachable.
Your emotions may be contributing to how you respond to an unexpected situation concerning a partner or partners today. If so, take time to reflect on how your own participation or response could influence a more positive outcome. If it’s your own oversensitivity that’s preventing resolution, you may benefit from some distance to gain clarity.
Avoid allowing frustration to redefine your process until you know for certain that it’s needed. You may be responding to the influence of others with limited vision or who oppose you without knowing all the facts. And with the influence of today’s 22 numerology, your path may ultimately be one of selfless service to others.

Tuesday, 23 November 2021
- Numerology – 5
- Rune – Ehwaz (ᛖ)- intuitive bond, change, momentum, partnership
- Geomancy – Fortuna Major – greater fortune, success, achievement
- The Sun in Sagittarius; The Moon in Cancer
- Magickal Focus – Mars influence, passion, manifestation, creativity, self-assertion, reducing conflict
- Favorability of working magick: very good
Because of the time you’ve spent nurturing established partnerships, each partner intuitively understands the next step in the process and you typically find it easy to rely on their insights and experience. However, today’s five numerology may be suggesting that you need a change in direction.
Although your self-confidence is strong, you may feel unable to assert your own position, and you may discover that you are on a completely different path. If so, you may have no choice but to strike out on your own. Consider your options and then move forward with a grateful heart.
Do not allow the dogmatic beliefs of those around you to impact your choices especially when success is within reach. Maintain your fundamental values and principles in the face of arrogance and press on amid the confusion it may cause. Seek advice if necessary but realize that your greatest potential may be developed along a solitary path.

- The Sun in Sagittarius; The Moon in Cancer until Leo at 1:59 AM PST

Because of your strong attention to detail, you prefer focusing on the process instead of the goal. You express a natural rhythm that supports collaboration with others and interactions flow smoothly.
You feel supported in your current endeavor and you express yourself with clarity and resolve. Remain receptive to insights that are offered and look for underlying truth to be revealed. This may be a time where a unique perspective can set you on the right course.
Too much control can mask the need for self-protection when discretion is what’s really needed. Instead, stay focused on the creative process and ignore any disorder around you that can make you lose your composure. A positive result is within reach so remain flexible and focused on the goal.

Thursday, 25 November 2021
- Numerology – 7
- Rune – Fehu (ᚠ) – cattle, abundance, transaction, life force, growth
- Geomancy – Conjunctio – union, joining, agreement
- The Sun in Sagittarius; The Moon in Leo; Thanksgiving Day
- Magickal Focus – Jupiter, social justice, healing, abundance, income, growth, achieving goals and desires
- Favorability of working magick: very bad
On this Thanksgiving Day, celebrate the unity you experience with others and the abundance found in the love that you share. If you are spending this day alone, reach out to family and friends to let them know you’re thinking about them. This can be a wonderful time to let go of past issues and heal your relationships with others.
But holiday excitement can turn stressful and your own emotional balance may be off. Or it could be that someone else’s behavior is causing conflict and stepping back before reacting to understand the overall situation may be recommended. Maintaining your own well-being is more important than responding to the drama of others. Remain as calm as possible and simply move on without judging the situation further.
Your intuitive sense will guide you to know when it becomes necessary to remove yourself from a situation that has devolved enough that you really have nothing of value to offer. If possible, seek an opinion from someone with an outside perspective, and from there, it may be best to keep your own counsel until the situation settles down. In other words, save the binding spell you’re considering for another situation.
Correspondences
- Element – Air
- Color – Blue
- Crystal – sapphire, jasper, emerald
- Resin – balm of Gilead, ambergris, saffron
- Herbs – basil, agrimony, mints, dandelion, borage, bugloss, wood betony, hyssop, henbane, poplar, oak, plum, fig, meadowsweet
Friday, 26 November 2021
- Numerology – 8
- Rune – Kenaz (ᚲ) – the torch, healing, clarity, light, revelation, transformation
- Geomancy – Amissio – loss, hesitancy, sacrifice, insecurity
- The Sun in Sagittarius; The Moon in Leo until Virgo at 6:12 PM PST
- Magickal Focus – Venus, compassion, love, harmony, attracting a partner, partnership issues, female sexuality, fertility, healing, friendship
- Favorability of working magick: very good
If spending time with family over the holiday weekend, use the energy of Kenaz to reveal a higher perspective. Replace any hesitancy to engage with a willingness to let go of past issues so that you return to a healthier way of interacting. You may find that a ritual for cleansing or purification of intention may be helpful.
Given the triggers that family tends to stimulate, past issues that are painful may come up that offer the potential to heal. To help clear the air use this moment to listen to any feelings expressed and to gently offer your own perspective on the situation. Healing is possible if you let go of the need to control the outcome.
Remain realistic in your expectations of others, particularly with those persons who are stuck in their own mindset. Adapt to the circumstances that are before you knowing that dropping your own resistance may give any hostility expressed no space to grow.
Correspondences
- Element – Water
- Color – Green, rose
- Crystal – Turquoise, lapis lazuli, beryl, rose quartz, coral
- Resin – sandalwood, ambergris, musk, orris root

Saturday, 27 November 2021
- Numerology – 9
- Rune – Isa (ᛁ) – Norn rune of the static realm, alignment, stillness, focus, consciousness, present moment
- Geomancy – Puella – little girl, scattered focus, superficial, passionate
- The Sun in Sagittarius; The Moon in Virgo; Last Qtr at 4:27 AM PST
- Magickal Focus – Saturn governs; restriction, bindings, summoning, harvest, purification, protection
- Favorability of working magick: very good
A focus on past concerns at the expense of the present circumstances may lead you to judge others in a way that harms more than helps your relationships. Instead, stay present in each moment today so that your expectations are realistic and you leave the past where it belongs.
Observe more than react so that you gain a more objective understanding. Focus on your breathing if your emotions become unstable. The insight gained during this time can be enormously healing, and patterns that once served you can now be replaced with those that are more long-lasting.
You may end up realizing that you’ve gone as far as you can go and you’ll gain more by some inner contemplation. Avoid rationalizing your experiences and stay calm and composed within the chaos. In doing so, you may begin to let go of emotions and perceptions that prevent anything new from developing.
