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 intuitively sense the right direction to take today, confident that your goals are within reach. You’re motivated to succeed without compromising your values and principles.
Be grateful for the relationships you’ve established with others and trust that they have your back, especially if you’re not feeling like yourself today. Avoid any triggers that might invoke a hasty response. This can be a time for great healing if you can work through your feelings and release old perceptions. A walk in nature may help regain your emotional balance.
It’s important to approach problems in a realistic and balanced manner today even in the face of external oppression. Eliminate resistance from partners by having patience and remaining composed irrespective of the circumstances. And don’t compromise your integrity by rationalizing mistakes.

Monday, 29 November 2021
- Numerology – 11
- Rune – Dagaz – new day, one period ending and another beginning
- Geomancy – Carcer – self-imprisonment, restriction, stuck in outmoded perception
- The Sun in Sagittarius; The Moon – Virgo until Libra 12:55 AM PST
- Magickal Focus – Moon, feminine magicks, healing, intuition, cycles, reincarnation, astral travel, balance, change
- Favorability of working magick: very bad
Dagaz suggests that one period is ending and a new one is beginning. Today’s Master 11 numerology invokes clarity regarding a situation that may require additional sensitivity or inner awareness if you’re to let go of outmoded perceptions that have been holding you back. Today’s geomancy rune, Carcer, appears three times this week suggesting this is an ongoing issue that could either find some resolution, or at least you may make progress in that regard.
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.
Overlooking something that seems insignificant can result in failure, especially if this stems from an underlying resistance to change. Be aware of how timing impacts your decisions and if in a supervisory role with others, embrace the experience each one brings to the situation.

Tuesday, 30 November 2021
- Numerology – 3
- Rune – Berkano – healing, growth, fertility, family, new beginnings
- Geomancy – Fortuna Minor – lesser fortune, progressive success, outer assistance
- The Sun in Sagittarius; The Moon in Libra
- Magickal Focus – Mars influence, passion, manifestation, creativity, self-assertion, reducing conflict
- Favorability of working magick: very good
An issue you’ve been working on may be coming to its conclusion today. Pay close attention to details to avoid missing something important. You may benefit from advice from someone with more experience to help you make progress.
You may have difficulty expressing your feelings to others today especially if support is lacking. If so, an inner creative focus may be of help so that you take your mind off of issues that may temporarily lack resolution. You may find solutions are more easily found if you take a step back from the day’s drama.
A self-disciplined approach and a focus on details will get you further than will dismissing the experience of others. Realize that oversensitivity on your part will likely impact success, so recognize their input in order that collaborative efforts are preserved.

Wednesday, 1 December 2021
- Numerology – 1
- Rune – Ehwaz – intuitive bond, self/other side of self, change
- Geomancy – Carcer – self-imprisonment, restriction, stuck in outmoded perception
- The Sun in Sagittarius; The Moon in Libra until Scorpio 3:56 AM PST
- Magickal Focus – Mercury, communication, interactions, balance, justice, revelation
- Favorability of working magick: excellent
You continue to experience Carcer’s impact on your perceptions that restrict your growth and inner awareness, and some reflection on their origins may be helpful. The influence of today’s rune, Ehwaz, not only involves the intuitive bond you share with others, but it also helps you to understand how your perceptions flow between ego and higher awareness. Visualizing Ehwaz as a doorway during meditation may help you to release the past and allow new understanding to take hold.
Although you express your ideas easily to others, anything unexpected may feel confounding. Remain flexible and open to new ideas and experiences. If your emotional balance is off, it may be brought on by not acknowledging your own needs. Meditation may be helpful to regain your balance.
Ignore the naysayers who are too self-focused to understand the greater picture. Pay attention to details and trust the overall process involved. Remain flexible, strike a balance between extremes, and take a balanced approach.
Correspondences
- Element – Air
- Color – yellow, purple
- Crystal – Agate, emerald, fluorite, topaz, citrine, red marble

- Herbs – marjoram, horehound, bergamot, cinnamon, lavender, caraway, cloves, licorice, mullein, peppermint, star anise, hyssop
Thursday, 2 December 2021
- Numerology – 2
- Rune – Hagalaz – Norn rune of the past, destruction within a fixed framework
- Geomancy – Carcer – self-imprisonment, restriction, stuck in outmoded perception
- The Sun in Sagittarius; The Moon in Scorpio
- Magickal Focus – Jupiter, social justice, healing, abundance, income, growth, achieving goals and desires
- Favorability of working magick: excellent
With Carcer still influencing for one more day, you may need to invoke today’s rune, Hagalaz, to provide additional inner strength in restructuring your perceptions. It should be clear now that in order to regain a more balanced perspective, the choice to remain stuck in old paradigms needs to shift or realign with higher awareness.
If external forces are upsetting your inner balance it can impact your ability to stay focused. If it’s your own impulse control that’s lacking, then take a step back to understand the greater picture. It may be that some self-discipline is needed.
Normally, it’s you who benefits from a concentrated and creative focus when others are easily distracted by the noise around them. Your calm demeanor prevents you from acting prematurely from a one-track or dogmatic mindset that frequently doesn’t yield results.
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, 3 December 2021
- Numerology – 3
- Rune – Mannaz – individual within society, integration, thought, memory
- Geomancy – Amissio – loss, hesitancy, sacrifice, insecurity
- The Sun in Sagittarius; The Moon in Scorpio until Sagittarius 4:13 AM PST; New Moon at 11:42 PM PST
- Magickal Focus – Venus, compassion, love, harmony, attracting a partner, partnership issues, female sexuality, fertility, healing, friendship
- Favorability of working magick: excellent
As perceptions continue to shift brought on by the influence of Carcer throughout the week, you’re beginning to see things from a new perspective. Use the integration found with Mannaz to help you let go of any hesitancy you might have over engaging with others in a new and positive way.
Reconsider your response, however, if emotional difficulties arise, particularly surrounding woundings related to the women in your life. It may be that past memories are not as clear as you believe, and if you open your heart, the support you need may actually be there.
Persevere through challenges but in doing so, avoid the indiscriminate use of power, especially if others don’t necessarily support your position. Having an agenda may not yield the results you want, and it may be best at this point to wait for the right moment to express yourself so that your insights will be better acknowledged and accepted.
Correspondences
- Element – Water
- Color – Green, rose
- Crystal – Turquoise, lapis lazuli, beryl, rose quartz, coral
- Resin – sandalwood, ambergris, musk, orris root
- Herbs – apple, rose, myrtle, bugloss (alkanet), burdock, feverfew, lilac, marshmallow, vervain, valerian, thyme, coriander, pears, elder, pomegranate, passionflower, raspberry, strawberry, blackberry, vanilla, yarrow, violet, plantain
Saturday, 4 December 2021
- Numerology – 4
- Rune – Nauthiz (ᚾ) – Norn rune of the future, inner fire, binding, need
- Geomancy – Puer – little boy, lack of impulse control, risk oriented, unstable influence
- The Sun in Sagittarius; The Moon in Sagittarius
- Magickal Focus – Saturn governs; restriction, bindings, summoning, harvest, purification, protection
- Favorability of working magick: excellent
If impulse control is lacking today, invoke Nauthiz to focus your attention in a more productive manner. With both the Sun and Moon in Sagittarius, you may struggle somewhat with tactful self-expression.
On this New Moon, set your intentions for the coming lunar month that involve reevaluating issues or perceptions that impact your self-worth. If your self-worth is impacted by authority figures, it may be that you need to take a closer look at the patterns you’ve developed over time that have kept you from achieving your potential.
Your past accomplishments will inform your plans for the future and will attract others to your cause. If conflict arises, remain calm and avoid taking the bait. If extreme beliefs are expressed it can impact a service-to-others approach that will likely have more of an influence than will one that is bent on control.
