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) and Fire (will, creativity, motivation) last in strength.
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. Although the 2nd Ray of love and wisdom is still considerably reduced in strength, the 5th Ray of concrete knowledge and science had increased again today. And with the 6th Ray decreasing its own influence, expressions of ideology may have less of an impact on the acceptance of scientific truth.
With the 4th Ray of harmony through conflict’s present influence, you express a moderate willingness to collaborate with others. Aligned with the lesser 2nd Ray’s position, feeling supportive of others may 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.

Significant aspects or patterns that may inspire or inform magickal workings
Sun/Lunar position: The Sun in Capricorn; The Moon in Capricorn until Aquarius at 2:44 PM PST – You express yourself with honesty and others feel they can trust your integrity. They are inspired by your clarity surrounding difficult situations and appreciate the way you speak your truth. You especially appreciate the women in your life and the support you both express and receive. 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, with a trine with Uranus retrograde emphasizing your willingness to assert yourself on behalf of others.
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 (now in Pisces) advises not to over-commit yourself and to reevaluate how you relate to others. Pay attention to messages and synchronicities and allow Spirit to inform your path (Mercury trine N Node).
