Below are the Ray, Ascendant, and Node influences as well as strong planetary aspects over the coming week. Each daily chart is cast for 8:00 AM.
Ray Influences
Below are the Ray, Ascendant, and Node influences as well as strong planetary aspects over the coming week. Each daily chart is cast for 8:00 AM.
The 1st Ray of will and power is strong all week suggesting that the ability to assert oneself or to express one’s will in a positive manner is powerful and effective.
The overall impact of the 2nd Ray of love and wisdom initially suggests that one’s ability to act with love, empathy, and wisdom may have an average impact this week. However, with the 6th Ray of devotion and idealism having a severely reduced effect, it suggests that wisdom and love may continue to exert a stronger influence on expressions of ideology and fundamentalist devotion over the course of the week.
The 3rd Ray of active intelligence’s continuing moderate impact suggests that instinct and adaptability to change are having an average influence on our interactions with others and the ability to solve problems this week.
The significantly reduced impact of the 4th Ray of harmony through conflict suggests that the willingness to cooperate with others to find solutions will be quite challenging throughout the week. But even with the disciplined or logical approach to seeking truth from the 5th Ray having a slightly greater impact, we may still have issues with achieving a shared agreement with others.
Overall, the strong 7th Ray influence on ceremonial order throughout the week suggests that a practical attitude will influence perceptions and decisions.
The Ascendant
Leo – A masculine sign, a Leo individual is purposeful and self-reliant. He or she is gregarious and loves to plan get-togethers with others. They prefer to lead rather than follow but have a tendency toward manifesting pride in a manner that can lead to failure.
- Moon conjunct The Ascendant – Intuition is strong today as are your emotions. Allow your inner awareness to bring insight that helps you to see the benefit of maintaining an emotional balance. (7/1)
- Jupiter trine The Ascendant – You’re focused on new ideas and perspectives and you’re ready to explore new experiences with others. (6/26-30)
☊ ☋
Node Influences
N Node: Taurus; S Node: Scorpio – a transformative combination that describes strong emotions that can lead to expressions of victimhood, and the need for a focus on a spiritual perspective that views the behavior of others as a window into one’s own issues. The challenge involves forgiving the self for judging others. With this placement, we also know what we value or desire, however, how difficult that is to achieve depends upon the balance we strike.
Aspects:
- Moon quincunx S Node – It’s time to let go of past influences so that you can move forward in a positive manner (6/25-26)
- Mercury quincunx S Node – Some reevaluation may be necessary before continuing on with a particular endeavor (6/29)
- Uranus conjunct N Node/opposite S Node – Something unexpected could arise that aligns you with your true nature or destiny (6/26-7/2)
