OOB Moon enters Cancer overnight @ 4:48 AM EDT, 12th House @ 4:48 • V/c time:  PM 3:14 - 4:47 AM.

If you're unfamiliar with a v/c ( void-of-course ) or OOB Moon, you can read an article here: http://inspiritualservice.com/astrology-articles

If you'd like to learn more about Cancerian lunar transits and natal information, please visit http://inspiritualservice.com/the-moons-promenade

This nurturing lunation will experience a sense of liberation from the weight of emotions and sensitivity under this rogue, out-of-bounds Moon. We respond to this influence by becoming more light-hearted in expressing how we feel as well as more understanding and sympathetic toward others.

Hosting intimate gatherings with a good meal between close friends and family are the ideal social events during this transit. Our sensitive natures are more likely to take things in stride rather than personally. Our emotional rapport is stimulated, and we feel supported in our growth.

The Moon entering Cancer on a Wed, ruled by Mercury, favors the conscious mind, study, travel, divination, and wisdom. The waning gibbous Moon is also a time for study, meditation, and little magical work outside of banishing harmful energies.

Each zodiac sign is born with a polarity that remains throughout their lives. Knowledge of this polarity and a subsequent balance between opposites can prove stabilizing regardless of what planetary aspect we may face on a daily basis. However, ignoring this polarity can appear devastating when facing a difficult aspect, such as a challenging square.  

In this case In this case, the polarity for Cancer is Capricorn ( and yes, the resolution for the polarity is different - as you read when the Moon transited Capricorn earlier this month ).  Cancer is the sign of home and family, of nurturing and the feminine aspect. They seek close relationships and are happiest surrounded by the familiar and those whom they love.

Capricorn, on the other hand, is the sign of reputation and public standing. Natives of Capricorn are concerned with the image they project, and they search for power and fulfillment in the outside world.

So how do we reconcile these polarities in order to achieve balance? According to Stephen Forrest: Discipline, integrity and objective accomplishment heal self-
indulgence, whining, and the compulsion to rescue malingerers.

What this means is that to combat their shadow aspects, Cancerians can balance their fragile, unpredictable, and temperamental need for love and approval through discipline and self-accomplishment and maintaining integrity that avoids a victim mentality.

Do you know where Cancer resides in your birth chart? Even if you have no planets in Cancer, the house it resides in is influential.

#AspectingtheCosmos, Wed, August 28, 2024, EDT: When we ignore the signs of an approaching storm we suffer the consequences of that choice.

Mercury Retrograde stations direct: http://inspiritualservice.com/celestial-events-2024
Moon enters Cancer: http://inspiritualservice.com/planetary-transits-2024

Midafternoon the Sun in Virgo sextile the OOB Moon in Cancer and the OOB Moon in Cancer sextile Hygieia Rx in Taurus: Opportunities to implement improvements in avenues of health are highlighted.  If you've wanted to end bad habits, now is the time to commit.

Late afternoon, Venus in Virgo oppose Neptune Rx in Pisces and the OOB Moon in Cancer square Juno in Libra: Higher logic and reasoning are avenues of reconciliation during polarity. If an agreement can't be reached, serious discord in a committed relationship is on the horizon. Recognize the signs of a coming storm and avert them, if at all possible, while maintaining integrity.

Early evening the OOB Moon in Cancer square the Nodes in Aries & Libra while opposing Ceres Rx in Capricorn: We may feel stuck or isolated from others. Evaluate where these feelings emanate from, and if it's cyclic, we can break the effect by believing in ourselves, knowing we are exactly where we belong, and we are doing the best we can.

#MercuryRetrograde stations direct in #Leo today @ 5:14 PM EDT. Allow for a gradual time of acclimation as it makes its way through the two-week post-shade period.

Mercury turning direct in Leo brings clarity to otherwise cloudy conditions. Our sense of confidence and trust on our own abilities increases.  That's because Mercury represents intellect, the avenue of expression, and our ability to reason, and Leo, a fixed fire sign, represents power, courage, and an eagerness 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.

Our focus shifts toward the "big picture" and expression arrives easily through creative and entertaining ways. As Leo, ruled by the Sun, it highlights our personality, our core, and our true essence; therefore, connecting with our heart and mind through all things we love.

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.

Leo's creative abilities, combined with Mercury's intellectual approach, guarantees a solid foundation through the written word also. 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.
(Post Wed 28 )

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.

But when Mercury embodies Leo energy, we are not afraid to be in the spotlight—we shine unapologetically—and we should.

Venus enters Libra tomorrow morning @ 9:23 AM EDT, 1st House, the natural home of Aries ruled by Mars. The first house is a house of life and identity. Its cusp is also dubbed our rising sign, or Ascendant.

The Ascendant is one of the most important points in the natal chart and reveals the exact degree and sign that was on the eastern horizon at the moment of our birth. It highlights the beginning of all enterprise and ambition. Its energy is courage and strength, or destructively.

Venus

The Romans adapted the myths and iconography of Venus' Greek counterpart, Aphrodite, for Roman art and Latin literature. In the later classical tradition of the West, Venus became one of the most widely referenced deities of Greco-Roman mythology as the embodiment of love, affection, and beauty.

Venus is considered the planet of love; in early times it was called the lesser benefic. It rules art, culture, aesthetics, possessions, partners, beauty, charm, good taste, sentimentality, sugary sweets, color, harmony, poetry, paintings, jewelry, singing, drama, and music. Venus' action is gentle and harmonious, and governs emotional contacts, tenderness, moral character, marriage and unions of all kinds. Also, sociability, disposition, luxuries, pleasure and appreciation.

Venus is the planet of love and sensuality, not sex. Where you find her in your chart reveals what you really enjoy.

Libra

Libra is the Cardinal sign of the West, and here to assist our balance as we enter a new season. Cardinal signs are called such because they govern the changing of the seasons. It is a peace-loving diplomat who is companionable, refined, judicial, artistic, and so much more.

Venus in Libra

In Libra, Venus is dignified, which strengthens our response to it. This energy enables us to control our circumstances. Venus and Libra were made for each other; thus, complement one another's strengths while compensating for lesser light attributes.

This opens the door to manifestation for all zodiac signs, and we perform it with a more soft, feminine energy versus a masculine assertiveness, unless we succumb to the whiles of Aries and Mars in the first house, using our strength and courage for destructive purposes.

If you were born with Venus in Libra, then harmony, marriage, and all social relationships are extremely important to you. You enjoy companionship and you like to please others. Quite fair in your judgment. You have high standards of social behavior. You love beauty, luxury, and intellectual stimulation as well as entertaining.

Discord and loud noises can make you nervous since your sense of hearing is well developed. Although you were not money oriented, you appreciate what money can buy. Your talents are many, but the arts are particularly suited to your temperament.

You are attractive to and attracted by the opposite sex. In fact, you are in love with love. You can be easily hurt, but you rarely carry a grudge. Gracious and appreciative, you are eternally young at heart. However, with difficult aspects, you may become too superficial or gushing, and you may be unable to stand up for what you believe.

Guarding against indecisiveness and paying any price for peace or companionship are life lessons for those who hold this natal placement.

OOB Moon in effect: http://inspiritualservice.com/astrology-articles

#AspectingtheCosmos, Thu, Aug 29, 2024 EDT: A past that blocks the door to the future can easily be removed by implementing a higher perspective. Dedication to that task will pay off.

Venus enters Libra: http://inspiritualservice.com/planetary-transits-2024

Mid/late morning Venus in Libra trine Pluto Rx in Aquarius and the OOB Moon in Cancer trine Saturn Rx in Pisces: Liberation of emotions. Perfect time to contemplate and set forth plans to attain our hopes and dreams. Higher thinking leaves behind all lower vibrations.

Late afternoon the OOB Moon sextile Lilith in Virgo and the Sun in Virgo inconjunct the North Node in Aries: If we allow inhibitions from our deepest shadows to rise, we can also release them; thus, ending their hold on us. A past that blocks the door to the future can easily be removed by implementing a higher perspective. Dedication to that task will pay off.

Tonight, the OOB Moon in Cancer square Chiron Rx in Aries: Pay particular attention to our intuition and/or dreams tonight. Challenges to our self-worth can be overcome by believing in ourselves and what we have committed to accomplish. There are no mistakes, only experiences.

Everything rests on how bad we truly want it.

Pallas Return 27°SCO22' @ 6:39 PM 10th House. This is my second return ensuing a retrograde.

Pallas is the goddess of wisdom and self-defense. Her symbol is the wise owl.

She is also known as an artisan connected to weaving due to her love of fabric and skill with a needle and thread. She was known to create and inspire patterns of lasting beauty. This metaphor carries over into our life patterns and linked ideas.

Known as the warrior queen and the philosopher, she most resonates with the sector in our charts that relates to our philosophical take on the world, since we are all philosophers, even if we are not aware of it.

Whenever we deduct a theory involving how we desire to live our lives, we are exercising our philosophical nature. This is the influence of Pallas.  

Whenever we stand our ground or strategize politics, or we're challenged by others over our beliefs or lifestyle choices, this is where Pallas can offer strategic wisdom that we can respond from rather than a defensive reaction.

Responding to or ignoring from a place of knowledge instead of fear lends an air of victory before the battle is over.

More importantly, however, is knowing where our OWN Pallas is ( sign and house ), to determine how we process wisdom and deal with conflict. The fact that Pallas is not naturally the aggressor or bully means those who are demonstrating those lower-vibrational energies are out of alignment.

Knowing the location of their Pallas provides insight that may be of assistance in guiding them back into alignment. Same for ourselves.

A Scorpion Pallas enables us to see deeply below surface level to the root of the issue. We have extreme powers of observation, which can be both a blessing and curse, especially when others seem naive to them.

If your Pallas is in Scorpio, and Scorpio is the Alchemist Archetype, then your healing abilities get right to the source of a challenge rather than treating the symptom of a disease or behavior. You love philosophical thought, healthy debate, and will use psychological modalities as an archaeological shovel.

Scorpio rules the reproductive organs; therefore, they may engage in sex therapy and/or cellular regeneration. Therefore, you are artistic and particularly drawn to sacred geometrics, double entendre, and tantric practices along with the occult and ancient history.

With both Gods of War and Underworld as overlords, you are fearless in the face of danger and ruthless in battle, using considerable skill at strategy. Unsolved mysteries intrigue you, the more obscure the better.

Innate insight can provide the upper hand in any situation, and when relying on Pallas for strategic wisdom and guidance, you'll be able to respond and/or ignore baiting instead of reacting out of fear to any circumstance that may arise.

Becoming intimate with your natal chart provides deep insight and revolutionary change when one understands the dynamics of the planets.

#AspectingtheCosmos, Fri, Aug 30, 2024, EDT: When we brush off a trigger from our past or press it down, it can't serve its purpose. It will then grow stronger and reemerge in the future.

Moon enters Leo: http://inspiritualservice.com/planetary-transits-2024

Early morning the OOB Moon in Cancer sextile Uranus in Taurus trine Pallas in Scorpio: Expect surprise and exceptional creativity. We may feel isolated, even from ourselves, but wisdom to navigate this energy is available. Focus on the beauty of creation.

Late morning/early afternoon the OOB Moon in Cancer trine Neptune Rx in Pisces oppose Pluto Rx in Aquarius: Undefined, dreamy quality with a tinge of polarity. Don't be afraid to dive deep into the self for answers or to alter course completely. It could be the very thing to reconcile the polarity.

Late afternoon the OOB Moon in Leo sextile Venus in Libra and the Sun in Virgo sesquiquadrate Chiron Rx in Aries: Attention to detail and appreciation for dedication and commitment to tasks and relationships. We could experience a triggering effect that brings up something from the past. Don't brush it off or swallow it down. It has a purpose.

This Sunday is a major day in astrology. Pluto Rx re-enters Capricorn, Uranus and Sedna both station retrograde, and the Moon enters Virgo. I'm beginning the countdown this morning.

Uranus stations retrograde in the sign of his fall, Taurus Sunday morning @ 11:18 AM, EDT, 7th House, joining Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto, not to mention the asteroids Chiron, Eris, Israel, and Sedna in the retrograde parade.

Time to inhale, slow down, and pay close attention to what we're doing and saying to one another, ESPECIALLY with Uranus entering the picture. We may attract energy at some ethereal level, and it can seem surreal, as though we are living in an alternate reality or separate dimension.

Because of this influence, we may experience less certainty, which in turn breeds or enhances feelings of isolation and not fitting in.

Uranus is the natural ruler of Aquarius and the 11th House, a house of group relationships and social consciousness. However, this station is happening in the 7th House; thus, we have both one-on-one and group relations involved.

The 7th is the natural home of Libra ruled by Venus, and represents partnerships ( marriage and business ), public relations, open enemies, and others. It highlights what we most lack in ourselves because it's the opposite of the 1st house, which reveals our strongest trait.

With Lilith currently in Libra, others become a mirror. Be prepared for legalities to arise in the form of contracts, political dealings, and/or lawsuits.

This retrograde is an annual cycle that lasts about 155 days, causing the planet to relapse roughly four degrees backward. Uranus represents transformation initiated often by sudden destruction. This is a time of inner change in response to external changes in your life.

Representing the freedom urge, Uranus rebels against conformity. Its keyword is "the awakener", reflective of one of my favorite lines from Dune, "The sleeper must awaken."

If we feel as though we're struggling against the current to achieve what we know in our hearts is part of our destiny, we can expect Uranus to be the catalyst for change. This influence won't be external, but internal.

This means we need to pay attention to our attitude, perspective, and belief system at this time. Any, or all of which could be holding us back. This may become the epitome of walking by faith alone.

The Moon in Leo will enter a square with Uranus: Expect surprise changes or even awakenings in relationships, with Uranus involved and Pluto Rx re-entering Capricorn, this isn't just domestic or private relationships. We may experience upheavals in government and political platforms by corporate control attempting to inflict division.

The positive aspect is to honestly evaluate OUR role in whatever situation is taking place. Whether it's a financial loss, relationship issue, or even our own mood and attitude, we MUST recognize our part in it. In other words,

"The sleeper must awaken" mostly to ourselves.

Moon entered Leo this afternoon @ 1:10 PM, 10th House • V/c time: 11:24 AM - 1:09 PM.

Void of Course Moon & Out of Bounds Moon: inspiritualservice.com/astrology-articles

Did you know that your Moon has a ruling planet?

If your Moon is in Leo, then the Sun ( ruler of Leo ) is the ruler of your Moon and plays an important part in your natal chart. It provides an indication of your emotional life, of the hidden currents in your personality, and underlines the kind of emotional impact you have on others.

The Sun is the planet of vitality and individuality while the Moon is the planet of emotions and instincts. Many astrologers attribute the sun to the conscious and the Moon to the unconscious.

With the Sun as your Moon's ruler, each consecutive planet, including the Moon, takes its cue from the it. It's the inner source of your pride, confidence, and identity, and craves the spotlight, which is why this lunar position can spell drama with a Capital D! Grand entrances and desire for recognition are hallmarks of this placement.

Guarding our excitement, pride, and emotion from evolving into melodrama is priority number one with this lunation, taking care not to overreact or demonstrate excessive vainness during this transit. Instead, focus on the creative process, as Leo is the Creator Archetype!

Shows, visual art, or music is the perfect remedy against drama. One can also express their romantic nature and love of fun and amusements during this time. These balance the masculine aspect of the Sun and feminine aspect of the Moon perfectly.

Knowing the ruler of your Moon sign and its ruler enables you to figure out how these energies can motivate you. For additional insights as to how the transit affects you personally, visit inspiritualservice.com/planetary-transits-2024

Note: Moon returns in bound.

#AspectingtheCosmos, Sat, Aug 31, 2024, EDT: That which we ignore, or quench has a way of arising stronger in the future, like a lotus through mud.

This evening, we have two challenging aspects on top of one another. Mars in Gemini square Lilith in Virgo and Ceres in Capricorn square Juno in Libra:  A part of us desires to let go and have fun with family or romantic endeavors; however, make sure it's not at the expense of a negative pattern of behavior that needs to be addressed. Especially at the expense of another. That which we ignore, or quench has a way of arising stronger in the future.

One of the largest astrological events since 2023 has been Pluto's dance between Capricorn and Aquarius. Although Pluto entered Capricorn in 2008, it's been skipping back-and-forth due to retrogrades. The varying energy of these two astrology signs have created a pendulum effect between the past and future.

This WILL have an effect on the electoral process.

This Sunday, September 01, Pluto Rx will re-enter Capricorn for the final time, prior to permanently entering Aquarius this November.

PLUTO

Pluto rules our deepest subconscious and embodies the principle of transformation and regeneration; thus, it can bridge the spiritual and material worlds.

It is widely known as the cosmic harbinger of destruction and regeneration. Its orbit is the most eccentric in our solar system and is also known as the slowest. It takes approximately 248 years to travel through the zodiac, staying in each sign between 12 ( Scorpio - Dignity ) - 32 years ( Taurus - Detriment ).

It is known as the third transcendental planet whose influence is not immediately felt by the individual. With anything that takes time, Pluto's eventual impact is deep and far reaching.

The entrance into a new sign leaves an imprint on an entire generation. Thus, it is heralded as the generational planet, as its transit into a new sign initiates a new generation.

When Pluto shifts into a new sign, notable cultural upheavals often transpire, upgrading our cultural mythology in real-time. That's because Pluto governs the masses, dictatorships, waste, subversion, atomic power, and crime. It exposes that which has been developed secretly or undercover.

Because it also governs bacteria and viruses, it's no surprise that COVID emerged during his initial transit through Capricorn, as well as the war in Ukraine, and now a greater unrest in the middle east is occurring.

CAPRICORN

Capricorn is the Cardinal sign of the South and Winter and has the power to govern the change of season. This doesn't mean just weather-wise. It also means the seasons of humanity.

When studying your natal chart, pay particular attention to which House Pluto resides; it indicates insight into the role you may be destined to play. And because it takes time to impact you, its function conjuncts with the passage from the South to the North Node ( what you're born into and your destiny ).

Pluto was last in Capricorn from 1762 to 1778. This was the time of the Declaration of Independence, the Boston Tea Party, Watts invention of the Steam Engine and the reign of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.

The Industrial Revolution was in full swing, and the rigidity of many governments of the time led to rebellions and uprisings in later years.  

Its ingress in 2008 corresponded with the Great Recession. Each of these crises, while encompassing Capricorn virtues of ambition and authority, had their origins in another sign: Perpetually optimistic Sagittarius, where unchecked governmental and economic institutions had been deemed too big to fail.

Think about that one. ^ Pride cometh before a fall.

According to Nyssa Grazda:

"During Pluto’s transit through Capricorn, we are collectively instructed to examine the integrity of political, commercial, legal, and religious establishments that we believe will afford us protection in an ever-changing world.

This period addresses the shadow of allegiance, exposing an obvious truth. That investing our time and resources into safeguarding the status quo is rarely rewarded with prosperity or even basic security. Our fidelity only serves to advance the agendas of the so-called Plutocracy, of those already in power."

Dark Moon in Leo begins Sunday night @ 9:56 PM and lasts until the New Moon in Virgo perfects Monday night @ 9:56 PM EDT. Void of Course Moon, @ 8:25 - 11: 48 PM EDT: inspiritualservice.com/astrology-articles

In the previous two months I discussed the goddesses Hekate, Kali, and Durga as a beneficial energy to induce during this lunar phase. This month I'd like to discuss Lilith.

According to Jewish folklore, Lilith was Adam’s first wife. She was created from the same earth as Adam. When he expected her to be subservient to him, she refused. Lilith explained to Adam that they were equal– made by God.

When Adam insisted again on her submission, Lilith uttered the divine names and flew away. Supposedly, Adam sent angels after her to force her to return. But she was with the Archangel Samael, and she desired to remain with him.

Ancient Jewish Midrash portray her as a demon. But contemporary, feminist theologians like Judith Plascow have incorporated women’s experience and women’s voices into traditional texts with their own Midrash. Plascow transforms the fearsome, vilified Lilith into a wise, empowered woman.

Lilith embodies the emotional and spiritual aspects of our unconscious or unrealized desires, sensuality, and unbridled sexuality. She owns her body and soul completely. For many women, Lilith is an icon of freedom. She is the woman who refused to be dominated or defined by anyone or anything outside of her.

Lilith asks, “What would happen if you leave everything behind?” She wonders what prevents you from getting to experience all that you desire. Lilith asks the questions that sometimes never fully reach the light of consciousness. Lilith is unclaimed.

She is the ruler of her body and soul and she reminds us that we are too. And not only that, we have a sacred obligation to be the body’s fierce protector. If I am entirely equal to everyone else, to every man, and every angel (like Samael), what would I choose for my life?

If I see myself as worthy, as the first woman ever created by the divine what more would I ask for? Am I living the life I desire? Lilith refused to settle. She answered all these questions within her, and took action on the truth she uncovered. Lilith demanded that she meet with what she really desired. And she’s here to demand that we all do the same. “

-  Excerpted from “The Divine Feminine Oracle “ by Meggan Watterson

#AspectingtheCosmos, Sun, Sep 01, 2024, EDT: Not all blockages to the future are detrimental. Many are for our own protection, whether we can see that or not. Trust in the timing of the Universe.  

Pluto Rx re-enters Capricorn: http://inspiritualservice.com/planetary-transits-2024

Dark Moon, Uranus, and Sedna station retrograde: http://inspiritualservice.com/celestial-events-2024

Early to midafternoon, Mars in Gemini inconjunct Pallas in Scorpio and the Moon in Leo trine Eris in Aries: Mars is ready to move forward but Pallas, in all her wisdom, is standing guard at Future's gate, saying, "There's something you must release first so it's not carried into the future." The Leo Moon is apt to engage in dramatics, especially with Eris retrograde in the picture; however, it's the retrograde that provides a bit of tempering and reflection to theatrics.

Early evening the Moon in Leo square Uranus in Taurus: Expect surprise changes in domestic relationships, potentially stemming from our past. There's a freedom urge here that could affect security. Hold on loosely or demonstrate compassion if you're the one feeling the need for space.

Tonight, the Leo Moon pushes against Pallas Athene, who stands her ground at Future's Gate, blocking any dramatic outbursts from this emotional Moon, demanding it reach for a higher thought and demonstrate gratitude. With emotions quelled and a more philosophic outlook applied, the Moon becomes harmonic with Mars in Gemini, quelling any insecurity or doubt we may have possessed.
