Moon enters its detriment in Capricorn @ 4:15 PM EST
Void of Course Moon: 10:41 AM - 4:15 PM
With the Moon in its detriment, it will assume the coloring of Capricorn, who is ambitious, cautious, and responsible; however, can be impersonal, so we need to take care not to alienate others with a cold shoulder.
The positive aspects of this lunational transit is that we can be at our most organized, practical, and businesslike. Here duty, caution, and pessimism contrast.
We become laser-focused on our goals and make certain that family business is taken care of. Because Organization is in the forefront, we tend to align anything in our lives that seem scattered or disrupted. Now is also a perfect time to make a plan, complete with rules and guidelines, or opt to educate ourselves on something that interests us.
Developing a strong structure with a focus on traditional values and obligations will strengthen our resolve and ensure our success.
Entering Capricorn on a Monday, ruled by the Moon, represents peace, sleep, healing, compassion, friends, psychic awareness, purification, and fertility.
The Waning Moon represents study, meditation, and very little ritual except to banish harmful energies.

I saw this earlier, and it profoundly affected me because there's so much truth contained within.
When we initially react in a judgmental way, many tend to feel guilty afterward. That guilt can lead down the path of self-blame and feelings of worthlessness. We can undervalue ourselves and judge our experiences as negative. But without contrast we can never learn - that contrast isn't just inclusive of physical experiences but mental, emotional, and psychological.
What if, after every thought we perceived as judgmental could be recognized as 'conditioning' or 'contrast' instead of 'negative' or 'judgmental'? How quickly could self-blame and 'unworthiness' dissipate in place of truth? And how quickly, in recognizing the conditioning, could we course correct and be proud of ourselves instead?
Is it really any different than turning the wrong direction down a one-way street, saying, "Oops! Wrong way, Tammy!"? Because it's what an initial judgment is - a one-way street we've inadvertently turned into going the wrong way.
And as silly as we may for missing the traffic sign, it's certainly nothing to blame ourselves for. On the contrary, it conditions us to pay closer attention next time.
And that's all judgement is too. Unless we don't realize it and course-correct our thoughts. . .

Wed, Mar 06, 2024: A trigger is an indication of something unhealed - just because it passes doesn't mean that we've healed the wound. It means the trigger will be stronger next time. Taking action now prevents a later storm.
Moon enters Aquarius: http://inspiritualservice.com/planetary-transits-2024
Midafternoon the Moon in Capricorn trine Lilith Rx in Virgo trine Neptune in Pisces within 8 minutes of each other: Beautiful balanced opportunity to spiritually evolve through making peace with aspects of ourselves we would otherwise hide. Reach for the higher thought by using our lower thoughts as steps.
Early evening Mars in Aquarius sextile Chiron in Aries: Mars in Aquarius is raw action meeting knowledge while Chiron in Aries represents the wound of self. Here we have the wisdom and courage available to us if we're emotionally ready to release the truth from an old wound that continues to be triggered by certain circumstances.
A trigger is an indication of something needed healed - just because it passes, and we've weathered the storm doesn't mean that we've healed the wound. It simply means the trigger will be stronger next time until we do.
Tonight, the Moon conjunct Pluto in Aquarius: Emotions and thoughts may cancel one another out. Guard against knee-jerk reactions to others. Grounding in whatever way works for each person quells the influx of heavy emotions.

Moon enters Aquarius @ 7:39 PM EST, 5th House, the natural home of Leo ruled by the Sun. • Void of Course Moon: 2:35 - 7:38 PM
This lunation heralds a Rebel Nation and brings out warrior within us. We're ready to make our mark by being authentic and ready for those new adventures and experiences which highlight who we truly are to others.
The caution here is to act with genuine intent vs. acting for the sake of acting. If we're not careful, we can become fanatical or addicted to the action itself rather than the cause behind the action. This could lead to burning bridges for the sake of watching a fire rather than for our own good.
The Moon enters Aquarius on a Tuesday, ruled by Mars; therefore, the energy is passionate, courageous, aggressive, and protective.
The Waning Moon indicates it's a time of rest, study, meditation, and very little ritual work except clearing negative energies.

#Aspectingthecosmos, Thu, Mar 07, 2024: A personal or business commitment can solidify and grow if we cooperate and work toward a unified goal.
Late morning the Moon in Aquarius sesquiquadrate Lilith Rx in Virgo: This is the only minor aspect I ever mention because of its heavy karmic residue. The Moon is a builder of form representing the feminine archetype and governs how we nurture and desire to be nurtured.
Lilith represents the feminine exile. Somewhere along our experiences, someone overlooked our gifts or commercialized our talent for their own benefit. Somewhere along our experiences, we were swallowed whole and spit out naked. Lilith is here to collect. We need to set clear boundaries and use our voice.
Late this afternoon the Moon square Jupiter in Taurus: Emotional challenges. Potential pushbacks against boundaries. Seeing the opportunity in the challenge shifts our perspective.
Tonight, Jupiter trine Juno Rx in Virgo: A personal or business commitment can solidify and grow if we cooperate and work toward a unified goal.

Tomorrow is International Women's Day
This year, the official theme of Women’s History Month is “Inspire Inclusion". When we inspire others to understand and value women's inclusion, we forge a better world.
And when women themselves are inspired to be included, there's a sense of belonging, relevance and empowerment.
The #InspireInclusion campaign aims to forge a more inclusive world for women.
With well over a century of history and change, the first International Women's Day (IWD) was held in March 1911. IWD isn't country, group or organization specific. It's a day of collective global activism and celebration that belongs to all those committed to forging women's equality.
Marked annually on March 8th, IWD is one of the most important days of the year to:
• celebrate women's achievements
• educate and awareness raise for women's equality
• call for positive change advancing women
• lobby for accelerated gender parity
• fundraise for female-focused charities
Everyone everywhere can play a part in helping forge gender equality. From a wide range of IWD campaigns, events, rallies, lobbying and performances - to festivals, parties, fun runs and celebrations - all IWD activity is valid. That's what makes IWD inclusive.
So together, let's all help fight the good fight. All IWD activity is valid, that's what makes IWD so inclusive. Join in and make IWD your day by doing what you can to support and advance women.
When women aren't present, we must ask: "If not, why not?"
When women are discriminated against, we must call out poor practice.
When the treatment of women is not equitable, we must take action.
And we must do this each time, every time.
Organizations, groups, and individuals worldwide can all play a part - in the community, at work, at home, and beyond.
To truly include women means to openly embrace their diversity of race, age, ability, faith, body image, and how they identify. Worldwide, women must be included in all fields of endeavor.
On an individual basis, it's important to understand, value and seek out the inclusion of women and girls. Additionally, sharing this knowledge, support and encouragement with others is key.
On an organizational or group basis, there are many ways to ensure the needs, interests and aspirations of women and girls are valued and included. Organizations and groups can #InspireInclusion through action in areas such as:
• forging women's economic empowerment
• recruiting, retaining and developing female talent
• supporting women and girls into leadership, decision-making, business and STEM
• designing and building infrastructure meeting the needs of women and girls
• helping women and girls make informed decisions about their health
• involving women and girls in sustainable agriculture and food security
• providing women and girls with access to quality education and training
• elevating women and girl's participation and achievement in sport
• promoting creative and artistic talent of women and girls
• addressing further areas supporting the advancement of women and girls

#Aspectingthecosmos, Fri, Mar 08, 2024: Being blatantly combative solves nothing. Maintain our boundaries and stand firm but compassionate in resolve. Remember who you are.

International Women's Day: http://inspiritualservice.com/beliefs-1
Midmorning Mercury in Pisces conjuncts Neptune, signifying an end to something and beginning of hopes, dreams, and wishes. If possible, plan a lunch with close friends to talk about visions and goals.
Late morning the Moon in Aquarius sextile Eris in Aries trine Vesta in Gemini: We feel empowered to stand our ground in a graceful manner. This fuels the light of our desire to move forward.
Midafternoon the Moon conjunct Venus in Aquarius, 8th house: This can be favorable or unfavorable dependent upon our individual situation. The 8th house is a house of endings and regeneration. Perhaps something needs to end in order for something we want to be born from it. This may be painful or a relief. But what's to come is worth the effort.
Tonight, the Moon inconjunct Lilith Rx in Virgo: Success is ensured by minor yet firm adjustments to our emotional perception. Being blatantly combative solves nothing. Maintain our boundaries and stand firm but compassionate in resolve.

Happy International Women's Day and Holi for all our friends who celebrate!🎉
Moon enters Pisces @ 8:04 PM EST, 7th House: http://inspiritualservice.com/planetary-transits-2024 • Void of Course ( v/c ) Moon: 1:56 - 8:03 PM EST
The Moon in Pisces, ruled by Neptune, is a sleepy, dreamy, trancelike state that allows us to escape from the harshness of reality. That is why this transit is dubbed the escapist or spiritual urge. However, we should take care how we induce this state and eschew drugs or alcohol. Meditation is a healthy means.
The Moon enters Pisces on a Friday this month, ruled by Venus, representing love, friendship, reconciliation, and beauty.
The Waxing Moon indicates it's a wonderful time to for manifestation magic outside of the v/c times.

The Dark Moon phase occurs tomorrow morning beginning @ 5:00 AM EST. This is a preface to New Moon in Pisces @ 5:00 AM EST Sunday. The Dark Moon is the is the 24-hour phase that precedes the New Lunation.
Noting the correlation between the twenty-nine days of the Moon's cycle and the twenty-nine days of women's menstrual cycles, the ancients surmised that the Moon must be feminine.
During the waning dark phase of the Moon's cycle, the fruit that has been left on the vine to go to seed withers and decomposes.
Matriarchal cultures who venerated the Goddess since the Upper Paleolithic were conquered and destroyed by patriarchal, warlike races who carried superior weapons. The earliest peoples understood that the power of life lay in the darkness of the Moon. But after thousands of years humanity forgot this truth and began to fear the power in the waning dark Moon.
The Dark Moon time is a time of retreat, of healing, and of dreaming the future. The darkness is lit with the translucent quality of transformation; and during this essential and necessary period, life is prepared to be born.
What do you want to release?
• Write it down or speak it aloud for a burn ceremony.
• Call in God/Spirit/Source/Angels or the Goddess Kali, the Goddess of destruction & dissolution, and repeat the following mantra 3x's during the burn ceremony.
OM KALI-YEI NAMAHA ( I surrender to the Divine )
• Sit in meditative gratitude to experience the dissolution of release.
• Give thanks to Kali for the destruction of our ego through knowledge and dissolution of that which doesn't serve our highest good.
~ So Mote it Be!
The beauty of any ceremony is that it comes from your heart as pure intentions of release. Just as the intentions are personal, so is the energy you call in to assist you: God, Source, Great Spirit, Angels, goddess Kali, Spirit Team - all energy emanates from Source. You are protected by its Love.
The Dark Moon is 24 hours prior to the New Moon. So between 5:00 AM tomorrow - 5:00 AM Sunday is a good time to release residual baggage left over from the previous Full Moon release prior to setting New Moon intentions!
