Esoteric & Magickal Influences for 12-18 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!
Retrograde Planets:
- Chiron – reflect on inner woundings, apply their message, and then move on.
- Eris – time to explore and reevaluate your expression of feminine power to maximize your potential.
- Uranus – stations retrograde today and indicates a focus on esoteric studies and original thought.
- Ceres – reflect on the manner in which you extend/receive nurturing and consider whether or not your approach is balanced and respectful of boundaries, both your own and those of others.

Sunday, 12 December 2021
- Numerology – 3 – self-expression, Spirit/Soul/body balance, imagination, optimism, detail-oriented
- Rune – Algiz (ᛉ) – elk, protection, bridge between physical/astral realms, higher consciousness
- Geomancy – Fortuna Minor – lesser fortune, progressive success, outer assistance
- The Sun in Sagittarius; The Moon in Aries
- Magickal Focus – Sun, clarity, truth, healing, courage, removing barriers, leadership
- Favorability for working magick: neutral
As you allow your thoughts to shift to a higher level of understanding, you may benefit from outside counsel or assistance to help you remain on the right path. Search for an underlying message that will bring everything into a better perspective and move forward with a self-disciplined attention to detail.
If you experience delays, they may be forcing you to consider another choice or direction. It may also be that your focus is off, or that an unexpected situation has arisen and clarity is lacking, with confusion the result. Again, this experience may be testing your resolve and it’s best to accept the situation for the message it brings.
Your intuition is strong and you remain committed to higher principles. You respect the skills others bring to the table and you’re able to help them achieve their own objectives. A sense of purpose guides you and others derive inspiration from your guiding hand.

Although you’re eager to achieve your goals, a patient approach will likely benefit you more than will one that hurries through the process. This is particularly true if you’re collaborating with others. Remain on task and avoid expressions of over-confidence.
If unfolding circumstances trigger insight, your intuition is strong and it should serve you and others well. Their faith in you is well-placed due to your character and your willingness to look within for inner strength.
Take the time you need to reevaluate your path if necessary. You seek a higher understanding that informs your decisions, and your authority and influence are predicated on appropriate actions.

Changes unfolding today reflect shared purpose and alignment with others, with protection of all you’ve achieved uppermost on your mind. A rhythm has developed and you’re willing to see the situation through to its end.
You express yourself well and you view your collaborative efforts with others in a clear and realistic manner. You’ve learned to nurture the relationships you’ve built along the way and you’re ready to learn from your experiences.
Know that you’re in the right place at the right time with the right people, and you’re ready to take advantage of new opportunities that present themselves. This is not the time to cut corners or to give in to frustration.

Wednesday, 15 December 2021
- Numerology – 6 – empathy, harmony, comfort, aid, shared path
- Rune – Berkano (ᛒ) – protection, family, fertility, new beginnings, healing, growth
- Geomancy – Carcer – self-imprisonment, restriction, stuck in outmoded perception
- The Sun in Sagittarius; The Moon in Taurus
- Magickal Focus – Mercury, communication, interactions, balance, justice, revelation
- Favorability of working magick: neutral
The weight of one’s perceptions can be difficult to bear if they’re unrealistic or influenced by deception from others. Chant Berkano to heal the damage done and to begin anew as you extend compassion not only to others but to yourself as well.
Remain flexible and open to taking back control over your values and principles, particularly if you’ve allowed others to define you. Realize that there may be a period of adjustment as you return to a more positive and realistic path.
Allow Higher Self to be your ultimate guide and do not feel encumbered by the past. Negative influences that desire continued control over you have no place in your life. And it’s likely their deception that has contributed to your reawakening.

Thursday, 16 December 2021
- Numerology – 7 – balance, observation, spirituality, magick, analysis, meditation, truth
- Rune – Laguz (ᛚ) – flow, clairsentience, emotional balance, purification, drawing energy back, harmony
- Geomancy – Cauda Draconis – endings, Dragon’s Tail, South Node of the Moon, lower kingdom, karma
- The Sun in Sagittarius; The Moon in Taurus until Gemini at 12:43 PM PST
- Magickal Focus – Jupiter, social justice, healing, abundance, income, growth, achieving goals and desires
- Favorability of working magick: very good
With today’s seven numerology, remaining balanced is advised, with observation more important than reactions that are impulsive. If energetic or vampiric intrusions are experienced, visualize your own energetic channels dissolving, and then draw back your remaining energy. From there, visualize an energetic shield around you to prevent any further disruption.
Express gratitude toward others who respect your boundaries, especially if you’re feeling more emotional than usual. Avoid judging yourself or lashing out in frustration or if feeling overwhelmed by circumstances around you. This is really a passing phase and anything that’s truly important will resurface if necessary.
Self-analysis can be valuable, but now is the time for clarity achieved from an inspired vision. You’ve experienced the indiscriminate use of power and some time away from that influence will bring greater spiritual awareness.
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, 17 December 2021
- Numerology – 8 – achievement, recognition, harmony, success
- Rune – Perthro (ᛈ) – fate, chance, childbirth, the womb, cause/effect, synchronicity, well of Wyrd
- Geomancy – Puer – little boy, lack of impulse control, risk-oriented, unstable influence
- The Sun in Sagittarius; The Moon in Gemini
- Magickal Focus – Venus, compassion, love, harmony, attracting a partner, partnership issues, female sexuality, fertility, healing, friendship
- Favorability of working magick: very good
Although you desire recognition from others, if impulse control is lacking, you may find that external forces will control your fate. Instead, take a risk-averse attitude and be aware of synchronicities that can influence a different mindset.
If interactions with others are overwhelming, it may be that you’re ready to move on to new experiences. Or it could simply be that you’re feeling out of sorts and taking a step back to regain your balance or perspective is all that you really need.
If you’ve been pushing yourself to get things done, you may experience some burnout, reinforcing the need to self-isolate. You may find that turning off the noise helps regain your focus as well as your ability to inspire others.
Correspondences
- Element – Water
- Color – Green, rose
- Crystal – Turquoise, lapis lazuli, beryl, rose quartz, coral
- Resin – sandalwood, ambergris, musk, orris root

- Numerology – 9 – endings, completion, generosity
- Rune – Raidho (ᚱ) – path, integration, process over goal, harmony, rhythm, cycles, justice, soul journey

- The Sun in Sagittarius; The Moon in Gemini; Full at 8:35 PM PST
- Magickal Focus – Saturn governs; restriction, bindings, summoning, harvest, purification, protection
- Favorability of working magick: neutral
Be generous with your time and your experience as a new path opens today that you take in harmony with others. Raidho’s influence stresses the process itself, so work to build a consensus by respecting boundaries and the input of those in your group.
Explore new opportunities with optimism and self-confidence. If you’re managing resources on behalf of others, remain open to a new process that may improve collective success.
Your philanthropic influence will draw support from others as well as will your pragmatic approach. Pay attention to details and your intuition will alert you should circumstances arise that require a change in course.
