Rune Divination ~ Ehwaz (ᛖ), Hagalaz (ᚺ), Berkano (ᛒ)
We’re in a time where inner growth can be stimulated or catalyzed by our experiences. Hagalaz, the powerful Norn rune of the past, allows you to examine and transform perceptions that have held you back so that you’re able to move forward with a different perspective. Berkano reinforces this idea and its presence in the reading suggests that healing is a factor in that transformative process.
Although Ehwaz suggests that partnerships can be affected by a new level of understanding, that will only happen if you do the inner work necessary to view your relationships from an awakened perspective. Ehwaz involves Laguz forward and reversed as well as Kenaz suggesting that the light of Spirit flows into our collective awareness.
Although the forward and reversed presentation of Laguz could illustrate how we align together with others, in truth it involves how we meet the self in full clarity and then express that light (Kenaz) to others. It’s almost as if Spirit enters our awareness through a vortex of light. Laguz helps us to achieve an inner balance that we can then extend to others in our life.
In short, you can use this energy to determine who you are, not only to yourself, but within your relationships as well, and then move forward in a manner that invokes higher awareness, compassion, and healing.

Energetic Influences
Polarity: The feminine (receptive) side of self is having the greatest influence suggesting compassion, empathy, and understanding are having the strongest impact today.
Elemental Influence: Earth (material concerns, physical presence) and Water (emotions, compassion, empathy) provide the strongest elemental influence today with Air (intellect, reason, justice, interaction) next in strength. Fire (will, creativity, motivation) follows with the lesser influence.
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 1st (will/power), 3rd (active intelligence), and 7th (ceremonial order and magic) Rays continue their strong today indicating that intellectual response is impacted by expressions of will and the ability to keep ego expression at bay. The 2nd Ray of love and wisdom has decreased significantly in strength, and with the 5th Ray of concrete knowledge and science also less today, the fixation on ideology with the 6th Ray may influence the acceptance of the truth.
With the 4th Ray of harmony through conflict continuing its moderate influence you may be less willing to collaborate with others. Aligned with the lesser 2nd Ray’s position, feeling supportive of others will likely also be less. Finally, the 7th Ray’s impact on balancing higher self with ego suggests that ego awareness may have a greater impact on your overall perspective today with ideology influencing your reactions and perceptions.
Lunar Phase: Waning; 3rd Qtr on 26 Dec 2021 at 6:24 PM PST at 05°Li32; New on 2 Jan 2022 at 10:34 AM PST at 12°Cp20

Significant aspects or patterns that may inspire or inform magickal workings
General Patterns – Others may seek you out to discuss their problems today given your patience and compassion. You intuitively understand how inner woundings may leave an individual feeling isolated and how examining them offers the opportunity to heal and move on. In addition, if you feel scattered today, be aware of how you respond to others, especially if unexpected changes occur.
Sun/Lunar position: The Sun in Capricorn; The Moon in Libra until Scorpio at 1:17 PM PST; Yule continues – Choose your words carefully if tensions are high and remember that you’re there to offer advice, not become part of the problem. As others feel pressure to accomplish something, it will be your own self-disciplined example that will guide them to a better outcome. The weekly esoteric influences are available here.
The Ascendant: Capricorn – a feminine sign, Capricorn individuals are naturally risk-averse until all factors are known made more interesting given its initiating Cardinal energy. With Capricorn, there’s a delicate balance between ambition and cautious persistence. A Capricorn individual prefers to carefully plan and then work diligently in a process-oriented manner. A conjunct with The Sun suggests that you have a positive influence on others and you may be recognized for your achievements. That said, a square with Chiron suggests that opportunities for healing old wounds may arise, and achieving a greater understanding may be possible.
Hemisphere Emphasis – With a majority of the planets on the left side of the chart (10th – 3rd Houses), it describes energy that initiates your experiences and motivates others. In addition, most planets are below the horizon suggesting more of an inner focus today.

Black Moon Lilith: 5th 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 5th House of creativity, play, and children this may challenge your inner Lilith to observe how you approach responsibility and not blame others for any self-imposed difficulties that might arise. Although you need to accept the wild child within and the positive effect that has on your creativity, you still need to engage 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. N Node conjunct Ceres retrograde suggests you might reflect on how supportive you are to the needs of others, while a square with Jupiter advises not to over-commit yourself. Juno sesquisquare the North Node indicates suggests that there could be tension with a partner involving a new endeavor.
