Esoteric Influences for 15 to 21 May 2022
Sunday 15 May 2022
- Numerology: 6 – harmony, assistance, empathy, love, guidance
- Rune: Ehwaz ᛖ – change, momentum, intuitive bond, Merkaba, travel, partnership, mutuality
- Geomancy: Fortuna Minor – lesser fortune, external assistance, progressive success
- The Sun in Taurus; The Moon in Scorpio; Full at 9:15 PM at 25°Sc17; Total Lunar Eclipse at 7:27 to 10:55 PM – Exact at 9:13 PM
- Planetary governance: The Sun ☉
It may be that your focus is off in some manner today, and it’s time to reassess any areas that may need more structure. How you relate collaboratively with partners may need some refinement, and you may benefit from outside assistance in that regard. Release any hesitance to new experiences by learning to balance responsibilities at home with those in your career. Take time to experience tonight’s Full Moon and Total Lunar eclipse to bring illumination to your awareness.
Your creative approach serves you well when taking responsibility for the well-being of others. And although you’re generally successful, you realize that too much focus on acquiring wealth can bring its own problems. Instead, you prefer to express patience and a willingness to always learn more so that you persevere against challenges and avoid any disruption brought about by an ineffective response.
Monday, 16 May 2022
- Numerology: 7 – observation, balance, seeking truth, meditation, magick, analysis, spirituality
- Rune: Sowilo ⵢ – The Sun, the will, light, energy, self-confidence, higher awareness, illumination, healing
- Geomancy: Puer – boy, impulsive, driven, risk-taker, unstable, accident-prone
- The Sun in Taurus; The Moon in Scorpio until Sagittarius at 4:51 AM
- Planetary governance: The Moon ☽
Although you may feel like setting off on a new adventure today, you need to be sure that you’re not avoiding any responsibilities that need addressing. With Mercury in retrograde, your desire to escape may be influenced by difficult interactions with a partner where more balance is needed. But if not, you may simply want a change of scenery to clear your mind and consider other perspectives.
Expressing selfless service to others will increase receptivity from partners or co-workers who may be feeling left out of the process. Invest in their expertise to expand support and be there to provide assistance during challenging times. This is not the time for egoic agendas that serve only you at the expense of others.
Tuesday, 17 May 2022
- Numerology: 8 – leadership, material success and recognition, and inner strength
- Rune: Thurisaz ᚦ – thorn, Thor’s Hammer, defense, new beginnings, protection, opposition, impulsive behavior, giants, chaos
- Geomancy: Fortuna Minor – lesser fortune, external assistance, progressive success
- The Sun in Taurus; The Moon in Sagittarius
- Planetary governance: Mars ♂
As you search for spiritual meaning in your life, your intuition is strong and you may decide to change careers. It may also be that you’ve been under some stress and you would benefit from some time to regroup. As you break through challenges, you’ll want to avoid any impulsive behavior that can set you back. Consult someone with more experience if necessary, and don’t allow your need for a conclusion to impact results that are progressive in nature.
Realize that unexpected situations or events can support both empowerment and growth, and that remaining adaptable to changing circumstances can open doors to better solutions. Others may look to you for guidance during this period so its best that you act with patience and in a manner that conveys the overall picture.
Wednesday, 18 May 2022
- Numerology: 9 – Endings, completion, generosity, compassion, and spirituality
- Rune: Gebo ᚷ – balanced energy exchange, link, marriage, partnership, gift, reciprocity
- Geomancy: Puer – boy, impulsive, driven, risk-taker, unstable, accident-prone
- The Sun in Taurus; The Moon in Sagittarius until Capricorn at 5:02 AM
- Planetary governance: Mercury ☿
Although you relate well to others, you may need to step back and engage in some reflection today, especially if interactions with others have been difficult. You may also be considering how you balance career and home. Remember that miscommunication can happen during Mercury retrograde so take care that you communicate your needs and be ready to listen to the needs of your family as well. Know that a little reciprocity and compassion go a long way in keeping the peace.
In addition, as you respect and acknowledge the contribution of others, you fundamentally create a strong and protective foundation, particularly where your family is concerned. That way, opportunities that present themselves will be viewed as something that benefits all with support the natural result.
Thursday, 19 May 2022
- Numerology: 1 – new beginnings, leadership, and individuality
- Rune: Perthro ᛈ- understanding fate, birth, womb, chance, cause/effect, synchronicity, divination
- Geomancy: Caput Draconis – head of the dragon, new beginnings, entrance, threshold
- The Sun in Taurus; The Moon in Capricorn
- Planetary governance: Jupiter ♃
You may be rather impatient when expressing new ideas and perspectives because it may seem that others either don’t necessarily agree or perhaps their expectations of you are unrealistic. And you may also find that your need to nurture others is not well-received during this period. This may be due to hesitance over embracing a new direction, or possibly lacking a shared understanding of the situation itself.
However, the problem could also surround how others perceive your leadership or control. If you’re unable to allow for the input for others, you could be seen as too arrogant or dogmatic to hear their views. In that case, you’re only limiting your own awareness and contributing to a challenging experience that doesn’t yield results.
Friday, 20 May 2022
- Numerology: 2 – collaboration with others, harmony, and love
- Rune: Algiz ᛉ- elk, protection, bridge between physical and higher awareness, higher consciousness
- Geomancy: Puella – young girl, scattered, superficial, happiness, emotional, ambivalent
- The Sun in Taurus/Gemini at 6:22 PM; The Moon in Capricorn until Aquarius at 5:53 AM
- Planetary governance: Venus ♀
You need to continue to trust your instincts surrounding a partner during this period. Not everything may be as it seems and you may need to offer additional understanding and compassion, especially if you have misjudged your partner, or if Mercury’s retrograde effect is making interactions difficult. Try to see the bigger picture and, if possible, make room for a reset of sorts to happen.
A little humility on your part can make all the difference in terms of preserving the relationship you’ve built together with your partner. Otherwise you limit yourself in a way that leads to an unnecessary breakdown of communication and shared goals. Instead, strive for some compromise and see the situation from a higher perspective.
Saturday, 21 May 2022
- Numerology: 3 – optimism, imagination, and attention to detail
- Rune: Ansuz ᚨ – Odin’s rune, eloquence, divinity, divine message, clarity
- Geomancy: Via – path, way, alignment
- The Sun in Gemini; The Moon in Aquarius
- Planetary governance: Saturn ♄
You need to strike a better balance between work and taking time for yourself. If boundaries are lacking, be clear about your expectations and in your message to others. Remember that Mercury’s retrograde could be impacting interactions today, so stay focused on the issue and express yourself with clarity and eloquence.
Although you may feel frustrated, take care not to react to issues in either a controlling or superficial manner. Stay positive so that others around you do the same. Processing change can be a difficult issue to manage but in this case, your needs are important and you have every right to a balanced life experience.
