Rune Divination: Uruz (ᚢ), Fehu (ᚠ), Inguz (ᛜ) comprise today’s rune divination where you manifest new thought patterns that lead to healing and growth. Uruz involves the thought patterns behind perception and behavior suggesting that you act from a higher level of spiritual awareness instead of manifesting your experiences from the lower vibration of the ego. Inguz provides the sudden release of that creative thought process from Uruz into your overall awareness. Finally, Fehu, invokes a strong life force that increases growth and success in your life.
Energetic Influences
Polarity: The masculine (projective) side of self is having the greatest influence suggesting motivation and creative expression are strong.
Elemental Influence: Air (intellect, reason, justice, interaction) provides the strongest elemental influence, with Fire (will, creativity, motivation) next in strength. Earth (material concerns, physical presence) and Water (emotions, compassion, empathy) provide a lesser influence and are in relative balance with each other.
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.
The decreasing influence of the 1st Ray on the expression of will and power suggests that self-confidence is less today and you may be less motivated to pursue new experiences. The lesser impact of the 2nd Ray influence of love and wisdom indicates that empathy and understanding are less today, and in conjunction with the strong impact of the 4th Ray energy of harmony through conflict, it suggests that without a strong 2nd Ray influence, you may be less inclined to collaborate with others or be sensitive to their needs.
The increased strength of the 3rd Ray of active intelligence indicates that the ability to process information intellectually may be stronger today, and with the strong influence of the 5th Ray, you may be more inclined to rely on scientific knowledge to inform your perspective. However, with the 6th Ray’s stronger impact, coupled with the decreased 2nd Ray influence, a devotion or fixation on ideology may overshadow intellectual expression and a shared acceptance of science-based truth.
Finally, the 7th Ray’s lesser impact on balancing higher self with ego reinforced by the strong 6th Ray energy suggests that ego awareness may ultimately inform your overall perspective today with ideology influencing your reactions.

Significant aspects or patterns that may inspire or inform magickal workings
General Patterns – You clearly derive a sense of self-worth from a successful career. As with last week, aspects with the Midheaven in Libra are in play suggesting that career advancement is possible today, especially if you can let go of past issues that prevent you from promoting your practical minded skillset or expressing your overall vision. In addition, others may be drawn to your empathy and compassion for the needs of others. On a more personal note, you and a partner or spouse may find a new creative outlet today or have the opportunity to resolve any issues with commitment.
Lunar position: Virgo until Libra 12:55 AM PST – Relationships with others may benefit from more balanced expectations surrounding the needs of all involved. If drama ensues, it may be that a partner is feeling unsupported and a compassionate response is needed. Or it could be that you’re the one who needs support today. Again, a more balanced mindset can help provide the necessary clarity. 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 seeking 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 Lilith (7th House/Gemini) suggests that your instincts may of benefit when interacting with partners.

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.
