The Gathering Place ( Modalities of Divination )
Mercury enters the Lion's Den @ 8:51 AM, EDT this morning, 1st House, the natural home of Aries ruled by Mars representing the overall condition of our physical appearance and the first impression we make upon others. As the first house of the astrological new year, it also represents new beginnings.
Mercury is known by many monikers: Messenger of the Gods; Prince of Communication; Overseer of Travel, Patron of Merchants, and Trickster to name a few. He represents intellect, the avenue of expression, and our ability to reason.
Mercury is considered in his fall in Leo, so it's important to understand that it could have difficulty expressing our true nature. It's akin to staying in someone else's house that we're not comfortable in. We can express ourselves, but without the freedom we'd feel if we were 100% comfortable. Treading on eggshells is a good term for this transit.
And, honestly, aside from Daniel, who really feels comfortable in a lion's den? ( Not that Daniel was comfortable, but you get the point. He is the perfect example of being in his Fall and having to conform. )
As a Fixed Fire sign, Leos are powerful, courageous, and eager to conquer everything they set their minds to. Compassion and big-hardheartedness, consciousness, drive, and natural leadership are the four main characteristics of the Lion.
Their fiery energy can seem overbearing to light and airy Mercury. But you know what they say! "Fire needs air to survive." So, while this transit may be considered Mercury's "fall" - it's a breath of fresh oxygen for Leo.
The merging of these energies spells many things, but unsuccessful does not need to be one of them! If you have been considering a new health regime, now is the time to start one. With Mercury's concise abilities to reason and Leo's eagerness to conquer challenges, it's guaranteed to progress—whether you're just starting out or need a boost of fire to continue.
Also, the written word or alternative endeavors such as painting or crafting, are highly favored at this time. Leo's creative abilities, combined with Mercury's intellectual approach, guarantees a solid foundation. Through the courageous and determined energy of Leo combined with Mercury's wisdom to focus inwardly on the outward expression of visual or aesthetic pleasures, original and innovative creations are bound emerge.
All is peaceful in the house of Leo when he doesn't feel threatened. But should he feel threatened, be prepared for his negative traits to emerge, because he will stop at nothing to protect his den. This behavior could include vain competitiveness, overbearing behavior, and pretentious cruelty.
Mercury has the wisdom to navigate this house utilizing the positive aspects of Leo to further success as long as he avoids playing out the trickster archetype. Tricking a Leo can garner serious ramifications that may produce a lifelong scar.
Unless, of course, we're Daniel. And even he didn't go as far as to provoke a house he knew he didn't rule. . .regardless of how protected he was.

Moon just entered Gemini @ 11:51 AM this morning, 10th House • Void of Course: 11:43 - 11:50 AM.
Geminis are the social butterflies of the zodiac and enjoy learning a little bit about everything. Their curiosity is insatiable, which makes them brilliant scholars and conversationalists. They do prefer to keep things light and within the airy realm of creative possibilities rather than emotional depths.
With the Prince of Communication as their ruler, they are clear channels of information, sharing their findings through strong communication skills. They are quick to change, and while highly social, they're not inherently intimate.
They learn through communicating, networking, and socializing but need to guard against restlessness that leads to aloofness and lack of focus.
The Gemini Archtype is The Messenger.
Gemini, known as the Zodiac's Messenger and Storyteller, has an unquenchable desire to communicate. A Gemini can easily while away the hours in deep, intellectually stimulating discussions, always ready with a story or a lively debate. They're never dull company, thriving on conversations that go beyond the superficial and dive into the fascinating and complex.
The Storyteller archetype thrives on bringing incredible individuals together, reveling in the dynamics of their interactions. Making friends comes naturally to them, and their captivating storytelling makes it difficult not to be engrossed in every word they convey. They excel in expressing thoughts, often in a witty and endearing manner and are not ones to shy away from the spotlight.

Fromelalome said:Thankyou Ahavati for safeguarding against all evils.
I want to say 'You're very welcome'; however, I don't feel I'm safeguarding against all evils ( though I've always wanted to be a superheroine ). I feel more like I'm sharing information that others can use to become more intimately in tune with themselves, and thus contribute more positively to the collective. 'Know thyself' is my philosophy and reason for answering this call.
But you're very welcome to note it from your perspective. It's perfectly acceptable. xo

#AspectingtheCosmos, Wed, Jul 03, 2024 EDT: Healthy boundaries are not castle walls designed to keep others out. They're invisible fences of intuition which alert us to a trespassing belief.
OOB Moon: http://inspiritualservice.com/astrology-articles
Midafternoon the OOB Moon in Gemini inconjunct Ceres Rx in Capricorn: Unpredictable and restless/airy emotions may have our head in higher clouds of thought, but an adjustment is required in order to recognize a pattern of denial. It may be something we don't want to but proves vital if we sit with it.
Tonight, the OOB Moon in Gemini square Juno in Virgo square Saturn Rx in Pisces: Expect potential discord in a committed relationship. Don't be too nitpicky or flippant. Maintain healthy boundaries of belief so as not to doubt our own self-worth.

My last post discussed Hekate as a beneficial energy to induce during this lunar phase. This month I'd like to discuss the Goddess Kali.
The goddess Kali represents the essence of Mother Nature, embodying the ideal energy for your ritual ceremony on the Dark Moon in Cancer. She is at once creative, nurturing, and consuming, yet always loving and kind.
She is commonly known as Kali Maa, which means, "the dark mother." Before the existence of creation or the celestial bodies, there was only darkness. It is from this darkness that all of creation emerged.
Kali's dark visage symbolizes the primordial darkness from which everything originated, making her energy perfect for this Dark Moon preceding the emergence of the waxing Crescent Moon.
According to Hindu text, the Goddess Kali first appeared in the original Atharva Veda written 1200 BCE & then in Upanishads as “the dark blue tongue of Agni", the God of fire & then in several Puranas as Lord Shiva’s consort.
She is mentioned in the Mahabharata, as a female figure, who carries away the spirits of slain warriors and animals, destroys evil forces in order to protect the innocent, is the benevolent mother who protects her children from misfortunes, is identified as the supreme mother of the universe, the most powerful form of Shiva’s Shakti & one who bestows moksha or liberation.
Some sects even regard her as the Absolute Reality.
Call upon her energy for our Dark Moon ceremony to surround and protect us from negative or misfortunate energy with a mantra such as:
"Om Krim Kalikaye Namaha", a powerful invocation that includes the sacred sound "Om" representing the universe, "Krim" representing the goddess's energy, "Kalikaye" referring to Kali, and "Namaha" meaning "I bow to you". Some say this mantra can bless people with health, wealth, and goodwill.
As these intentions are intimate, so too is the energy summoned for support: God, the Great Spirit, Universe, Angels, the goddess Kali, Hekate, or your Spirit Team - all energies from love spring from the Source, enveloping you in its protective Love.

Jul 05, 2024: Emotions follow thoughts. Stopping negative ones at the door of our heart prevents the cancer from spreading.
OOB Moon: http://inspiritualservice.com/astrology-articled
New OOB Moon in Cancer: http://inspiritualservice.com/celestial-events-2024
Early afternoon, the OOB New Moon square the Nodes in Aries and Libra @ 12:27 followed closely by a square to Lilith in Libra: emotional events are not going to be predictable. The NN in the 8th portends that something must end so it can be transformed, and the SN in the 2nd could be pointing toward our self-worth, and whether we're paying too high a price for peace at the expense of our own voice.
Lilith is here to collect; therefore, beware of the imposter syndrome trying to tiptoe in through the back door of your thoughts. You know that thought, the one that convinces you that no matter how much you've learned, or how experienced you are, you're a fraud who will be exposed.

New OOB Moon in Cancer perfects this evening @ 6:57 PM EDT with no Void of Course time.
To learn about an OOB Moon: http://inspiritualservice.com/astrology-articles
You've undoubtedly read all the positive aspects of this New Moon, but there's some aspects to be aware of: Both the OOB Moon and the Sun in Cancer are opposing Ceres in Capricorn. Ceres is all about cycles and patterns, literally and metaphorically.
Ceres also points to our wellbeing and selfcare; thus, its placement can indicate past traumas, particularly childhood vulnerabilities and struggle. A well-placed Ceres would indicate a parent who is balanced, loving and nurturing whose children grow up to be independent and self-sufficient adults.
A poorly placed Ceres in your natal chart could indicate abandonment issues, bouts of melancholy, and eating disorders, and could indicate an over-bearing parent who attempts to control their children to the point that the children become co-dependent.
The opposition with the Sun, representing our inner selves, and the OOB Moon, representing our emotions, signals there's a polarity between these representations and the cycles and selfcare of our life. Perhaps who we truly are isn't what we are projecting out of some need or dependency.
We must find ways to nurture and provide for ourselves. This means changing up patterns we have grown accustomed to that in reality are dishonoring us. It's time to become our own Mother.
If we are walking a path solely to fit in or belong so that we feel accepted by a certain faction, we will continually feel anxious, waiting for the curtain to be pulled back and expose us.
The more we try to be something we're not, the more that inner child is going to show out, and the "imposter syndrome" will become like a river of muddy sludge impossible to navigate.
The time has come under this powerfully emotional New Moon to realize our own worth. Look at how far we've come. Look at all we've learned. Look at all of our experience as a positive thing worthy of praise and love.
Close the backdoor to the "imposter syndrome" before it gets a foot in. Surrounding ourselves with supportive friends and family members who celebrate what we truly desire and are becoming in life is imperative.
But if there are none, know the Universe is conspiring on our behalf and those who do appreciate what we are becoming are gravitating toward us.
Stay the course of your heart.

#AspectingtheCosmos, Sat, Jul 06, 2024: More often than now, whatever energy we focus on, be it pain or hope, is that will expand before us.
Moon enters Leo: http://inspiritualservice.com/planetary-transits-2024
Late morning and shortly after noon, the OOB Moon in Cancer square Chiron in Aries conjunct Venus in Cancer: Unpredictable emotions involving potential triggers over an unhealed past wound. The conjunction can provide a nurturing compassion for self rather than an expansion of pain, if that's the energy we choose to focus on.
Early afternoon Saturn Rx in Pisces oppose Juno in Virgo: The teacher is shining a light on a polarity within a relationship. Evaluate the quality of our associations to see which may be taking a bit more than giving.
Mid/late afternoon the OOB Moon in Cancer square Eris in Aries sextile Uranus in Taurus: Conflicting energy. Think thunderstorm when two atmospheric elements clash, but then the sky clears, and everything is emerald and new, yet in a surprising and unexpected way. Maintaining our dignity and acting honorably brings us through the storm.
Tonight, Mercury in Leo conjunct Vesta in Cancer and the OOB Moon in Cancer trine Neptune Rx in Pisces: Fun romantic liaison and risqué communiqué with a partner in a domestically dreamy atmosphere. Singles can enjoy fantasies about the type of relationship they desire. Sweet dreams!

Moon enters Leo tonight @ 11:57 PM EDT • V/c time: 11:47 - 11:56 PM EDT
During the previous lunar cycle, we discussed the archetypes of each zodiac sign as the Moon transited. This lunar cycle I'm going to highlight the constellations and sub-ruling planets associated with each zodiac sign as the moon transits.
Leo is magnetic and flamboyant, and the Moon's energy transiting his domain is positive and vigorous. It's said that even the dark side of Leo is brighter during this lunation's presence. Here Leo draws emphasis to self, central ideas, or institutions, away from connections with others and other emotional needs. People have a propensity to be melodramatic.
Ruled by the Sun, and in tandem with the Moon, there's a balance of self-identity and emotional stability that lends a more quixotic nature. As the Creator archetype, Leos are visionaries in their own right, constantly conceiving and crafting new things.
The Moon enters Leo on a Saturday, ruled by Saturn, portending longevity, exorcism, endings, homes, and houses. The Waxing New Moon is the ideal time for manifesting magic!
There are three separate constellations and planetary sub-rulers designated for Leo according to the three decans, which are you:
July 23 - Aug 01: Ursa Minor, the Small Bear. This is the constellation of the Little Dipper and symbolizes goals and true direction. The planetary ruler and sub-ruler is the Sun, which doubles its beneficent influence.
Aug 02 - Aug 12: Ursa Major, the Great Bear. This is the constellation of the Big Dipper and symbolizes wisdom. Planetary sub-ruler is Jupiter, accentuating intellectual and visionary qualities.
Aug 13 - 22: Hydra, the Water-Serpent who symbolizes activism and mental energy. Planetary sub-ruler is Mars and underlines an impetuousness and willpower.
Where does Leo fall in your chart? Even if we have no planets in Leo, the house will reveal where we were born to shine!

#AspectingtheCosmos, Sun, Jul 07, 2024: Putting the shoe on the other foot is the quickest way to understand another's point of view.
Mid/late afternoon the Leo Moon will conjunct Vesta followed by a conjunction to Mercury in the 10th: This is Saturn's realm of dedication, commitment, and hard work. Here we must EARN—nothing is given. Potential discord could be lurking in the form of dramatic and emotional reactions over miscommunication. Take a breather, refocus and balance if spinning out of control.
Late afternoon the Moon sextile Lilith in Libra sextile Jupiter in Gemini in the realm of higher thinking and relationships, hopefully we have ended any previous disagreements or misunderstandings through an alternative perspective that takes into consideration the feelings of others. Put the shoe on the other foot.
Early evening the Moon trine the North Node in Aries sextile the South Node in Libra: Opportunity to further our goals and desires by releasing a stagnancy that prevents us from leaving our comfort zone. Ask the Universe for guidance to reveal what this murky presence is if uncertain.
Tonight, Venus in Gemini square Eris in Aries: Be careful of words and actions, ours and those of others. Venus in Gemini loves to flirt in ways they feel are harmless; however, could set off another's trigger causing discord to ruin the evening.

#CollectiveCasting Card of the Week: July 07 - 13 July, 2024: Atlantis Dragon Pythagoras, Mathematics, Astronomer, Music
Dear souls
I come to you today to tell you about my magical gifts. I'm really good with numbers and have an affinity with the stars, moon, and beyond. Music is my passion, and if you are having trouble with money, now would be a good time to call on me because I love numbers.
I am a very large dragon, so you may not see all of me, but you will know I am close to you. Take deep breaths, still your fluttering heart and in the silence, ask your questions. Some find it helpful to write what they hear in the silence. Be patient, the answer will come. And remind me to slow down my energy and messages I may speak.
