Esoteric & Magickal Influences for 5 through 11 December 2021
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!

- Rune – Inguz (ᛜ) – sudden release of energy, genetic inheritance, the seed, inner focus

Both Inguz and Albus indicate a higher awareness is guiding you today. And in the face of change suggested by today’s five numerology, it’s best to use that inner wisdom when assessing the situation along with any decisions you need to make.
Remain sensitive to the input of others and be prepared to offer support if needed. Although you may not be sure of what you want to say, your intuition is strong and others look to you for guidance. If this involves work relationships, know that your perspective is both respected and valued.
In fact, due to your preference for collaboration with others, you inspire them to achieve their own objectives. Your independence enables you to plan for the future by challenging norms in a way that not only sets an example for others but allows for your own identity to flourish.

Remain flexible should challenges arise and take a measured, practical approach, particularly if this involves women in your life, and especially if emotions are involved. Reflection may be required to integrate your own awareness with the emotional needs of others so that interactions flow more smoothly.
Timing may play a factor and it may be necessary to wait for the right moment to express yourself today. You may also benefit from sage advice from someone with more insight. This is a time to listen to the needs of others rather than to assert your own perspective.

Pay attention to the underlying message someone is trying to express. It may be that there has been a less than balanced effort and that person feels either left out of the process or overly burdened. To avoid any further upset, step back to gain an overall perspective and then rectify the issue to everyone’s satisfaction.
If tension persists, it may be that resentment is still lingering. However, it’s best to simply take note and let it pass. Reflect on the situation to prevent further misunderstanding, especially if you end up dealing with any additional unexpected reactions. Perhaps all involved would benefit from retreating to their own respective corners, so to speak, until balance is achieved.
Delegate any additional responsibilities and respect what others have to offer. Avoid minimizing mistakes by rationalizing and have the sensitivity to alter your behavior to preserve collaborative efforts.

Wednesday, 8 December 2021
- Numerology – 8 – leadership, harmony, material achievement and recognition
- Rune – Eihwaz – (ᛇ) – link between realms, connection between opposites, protection, as above so below
- Geomancy – Puer – little boy, lack of impulse control, risk-oriented, unstable influence

- Magickal Focus – Mercury, communication, interactions, balance, justice, revelation
- Favorability of working magick: neutral
If your focus is scattered or you feel unsettled at all, meditation or trance work may be helpful to invoke a higher level of awareness. This is an important time for you that could bring recognition from others who can help advance your career, so take the time you need in order that you present your best self.
In truth, you have plenty of support to help you on your path, and you are ready to explore new experiences and take in new information. But again, if you’re feeling scattered at all, don’t allow it to impact your confidence. This is likely a cyclical experience and a quick check of your biorhythm chart may prove that out.
On the other hand, your scattered focus may be signaling the need for more flexibility regarding your perceptions. If it’s something unexpected that is keeping you off-balance, it may be that it’s there to stimulate further growth. Again, meditation may be helpful in finding a higher meaning.

- Favorability of working magick: excellent
Be generous with your time today so that someone knows you care. A friend or family member may be going through a difficult time and the sympathy and love you share will give them comfort and peace. And they’ll appreciate any guidance you have to offer.
If you find that your own issues are triggered, observe the greater message involved and focus instead on pursuing new experiences. This may be a stressful time for you and others and finding something enjoyable to share may change everyone’s perspective.
Accept reality as it is with the flexibility to move in a different direction if necessary. You have a profound influence on others because you’re willing to step outside your comfort zone to find unique solutions.

Saturday, 11 December 2021
- Numerology – 11 – Master Number, illumination, awakening, spirituality
- Rune – Nauthiz (ᚾ) – Norn rune of the future, inner fire, binding, need
- Geomancy – Fortuna Minor – lesser fortune, progressive success, outer assistance
- The Sun in Sagittarius; The Moon in Pisces until Aries at 1:46 PM PST
- Magickal Focus – Saturn governs; restriction, bindings, summoning, harvest, purification, protection
- Favorability of working magick: excellent
You may benefit from outside assistance today so that you continue to make progress. Today’s Master 11 numerology suggests a new level of clarity can be discovered, and with the impact of Nauthiz on the future, you have the will to make things happen.
While the Moon is still in Pisces, intuition is strong and a spiritual focus serves you well. If tension surfaces between you and someone else, respond with empathy and compassion to diffuse potential conflict. As the Moon shifts into motivated Aries in the early afternoon, your mood shifts as well as your self-confidence. Look for opportunities to come your way.
Although it seems as if you and everyone else are surviving in spite of the continuing circumstances, don’t forget to look for positive experiences that can provide a more balanced view. Look beyond the words of others that are deceiving at best to understand the truth of their agenda. This is a time to be vigilant in your values and principles to protect yourself from the irresponsibility of others.
