#AspectingtheCosmos, Monday, Sep 16, 2024: Escapism never serves the healing process, only processing the wounds will.
The Moon in Pisces square Pallas in Sagittarius midmorning, bringing opportunity through tension. Now is not the time to be fickle or scatterbrained, but analytical and focused. Paying attention to our health will also pay off.
Late afternoon the Moon in Pisces trine Mars in Cancer and Venus in Libra oppose Chiron Rx in Aries: Heightened intuition can assist in navigating moodiness. Escapism will not serve the healing process. Processing our emotional wounds will.

Regardless of your Sun sign, your Moon also has a ruling planet.
If your Moon is in Pisces, then Neptune ( ruler of Pisces ) rules your Moon and plays an important part in your natal chart. It provides an indication of how emotionally introspective you are, and how you express musical or artistic ability.
Neptune is the planet of spiritual or escapist urge and intuition. Where we find Neptune in our charts is where we are apt to deceive ourselves and/or others; it's where we seek the ideal. It also rules all maritime matters, liquids, and things we take for granted in life without questioning.
Having Neptune as the ruler of your Moon adds to your emotional instinctiveness. Here we need to feel sheltered and loved, as well as surrounded by beauty. Adverse environments will produce suffering, as this planet rules the 12th House - one of frustrations, limitations, and more often than not, self-undoing.
And yet, the 12th is also where we can reach great spiritual heights when we rise above personal circumstance to see the bigger picture of what this situation may be attempting to teach us. Many times, we are blinded to the lesson amidst suffering, and yet the suffering will continue, and even increase, manifesting through physical issues such as disability and/or illness, until we can move past the lesson once learned.
It's very important to not be deceived by our own over-developed sense of romanticism and optimism firmly rooted in how we believe things should be. More often than not, our rose-colored glasses distort reality, which can be upsetting once realized.
Focusing on musical and/or poetic/artistic ability alleviates a wondering mind from becoming too engrossed in its own sorrowful circumstances. Releasing the beauty of our talents into the world elevates the overall vibration of the planet.
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/the-moons-promanade

#AspectingtheCosmos, Tue, Sep 17, 2024: Challenges exist for a reason. Perhaps we're not getting exactly what we want but what we need in order to succeed.
Full Moon in Pisces/Lunar Eclipse: http://inspiritualservice.com/celestial-events-2024
Early thru late morning, Moon conjunct Saturn in Pisces and the Sun in Virgo inconjunct Eris in Aries: There's a lesson to be learned here through a relationship, particularly the one with our self. Once realized, we can move past our complacency by refocusing on our dreams.
Midafternoon the Moon in Pisces square Jupiter in Gemini: Grand opportunity to expand and double our interests if we're willing to let go of the past, compromise in a relationship ( including the one with our self ). Maybe we're not getting what we want but what we need to obtain what we desire. Gratitude alters everything.

Saturn in Pisces on the eve of an eclipse. . .its raining all over the world it seems.
Currently we are faring well with this non-tropical system with no significant impacts. But it's raining torrents and we're under a flood watch through tomorrow. This image is Carolina Beach, a few hours east, where 15-18" of rain fell and caused catastrophic flooding. This is what's heading our way. Do hope it's passed by tomorrow evening.
Photo by Jen Mihalkanin.
Tonight, the second of four supermoons and penumbral eclipse will occur 25° Pisces 41' @ 10:34 PM EDT, 10th House. It’s the first eclipse in the Pisces/Virgo axis in decades and is considered a preview for the next 24 months.
The balance between spirituality ( Pisces ) and practicality ( Virgo ) is highlighted, with an emphasis on healing, service, and harmonizing aspirations with reality in the coming two years. This eclipse series encourages a path of self-exploration, concentrating on personal identity, health, employment, and our service to others.
This period is poised to foster substantial personal development and transformation, particularly for individuals with prominent mutable signs in their astrological charts. Especially with the Lunar Nodes moving into Pisces and Virgo's anaretic degree January 11 @ 6:02 PM EDT ( Hallelujah! I've been under the influence of the Nodal shadow and return for THREE years! )
The arrival of the Penumbral Lunar Eclipse in Pisces also brings strange things, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac. Did you know that frost occurring in the dark of the moon kills fruit buds and blossoms, but frost in the light of the moon will not?
This lunation assumes the name "Harvest Moon" because it rises around sunset for several days in a row, providing farmers a dose of extra light int he fields to complete their harvests prior to the first autumnal frost.
In the case of this lunation, it's not the month that determines this Moon's moniker, but the proximity to the equinox. Its name would be "Corn Moon" if October's full Moon had been closer to the Equinox, and October would be considered the "Harvest Moon". Instead, next month's full Moon will be called the "Hunter's Moon".
With the Sun opposing the Moon, we can wrestle with strong urges and blocks. Many of us will experience discomfort, while those of us ruled by Neptune ( Pisces ) or Venus ( Libra ) may find our footing a bit more secure. It's particularly important around this lunation to avoid the escapist urge when feeling overwhelmed, as Pisces is apt to do.
Resistance and suppression will exacerbate whatever the situation is. Though endings can seem unnerving, Lunar eclipses can bring about the ending of a pattern, relationship, or situation that no longer holds relevance in our world. Regardless of how it may feel at the time of separation, knowing that it's separating to make room for the things we seek to welcome into our lives.
This is not a negative occurrence. On the contrary, EVERYONE, whether they show it or not, is being pushed out of their comfort zones by this energy right now. Full Moons represent release and manifestation, particularly of the intentions you set during the earlier New Moon of the cycle. It’s an expected full circle moment; however, when an eclipse is involved, the energy can be highly dramatic and overly emphasized.
It's important to look back to March's lunar eclipse and what we were working on or experiencing at that time. Was there something that imitated a change in our lives then? With change comes release and acceptance.
To many astrologers, Lunar eclipse energy a powerful teacher, catalyst, and deeply transformative period in our lives. So powerful that the course of our lives can be altered at this time. This can include abrupt and unexpected changes involving beginnings and endings.
And, of course, Full Moons, much less a Super Full Moon enables us to see things that are normally hidden. This may not feel like a blessing dependent upon the situation; however, it's certainly a pivotal point improving our lives based upon the decisions we make with this revelation.
Pisces is deeply intuitive, emotional, and associated with our subconscious, dream-state ( Neptune ), and spiritual insight ( 12th House ). Don't forget to extend compassion to ourselves during any intense feelings rising from new information and subsequent decisions we know we must make for our own good.
TRUST that you are exactly where you are meant to be. Work the energies of this celestial event through whatever ritual aligns with you to navigate this channel of change rather than hide from it.
Spiritual or Escapist urge: That's the choice.
Some cultures believe a Lunar Eclipse brings bad luck, so they refuse to eat during the event. They keep their food covered so it will not become contaminated by the bad energy. Others report feeling a greater sense of peace, and a higher overall level of understanding.
In Christianity it was an indication of the end of the world or the second coming of Christ. The connection was made from the Biblical passage of Joel 2:30, which read: "And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness. And the moon into blood Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord."
We astrologers believe that the Moon controls emotions as it does the tides of the oceans. Many believe that an eclipse can reset our emotions and unleash emotional and spiritual clarity that eliminates past emotional baggage.
Whatever we may individually believe, may we each know that we have the power to respond to any situation by altering our perspective to acceptance and gratitude.

Midmorning the Moon in Aries trine Pallas in Sagittarius: Wisdom and analytical focus is available for work and personal evaluation of possessions and responsibilities. Don't overlook our health.
Midafternoon the Moon in Aries conjunct the North Node in Aries oppose the South Node in Libra: This is an energetic time to push forward on those goals and dreams. We can reconcile opposing energies by commitment and determination to get the job done through available means and resources rather than giving up.
This evening the Moon in Aries square Mars in Cancer square Ceres in Capricorn: Challenging energy producing potential volatile reactions. Take care not to become emotionally invested in cyclic drama, as it produces no positive outcome nor contributes to our own well-being.

Regardless of your Sun sign, your Moon also has a ruling planet.
If your Moon is in Aries, then Mars ( ruler of Aries ) rules your Moon and plays an important part in your natal chart. It provides an indication of your independence and pioneering spirit, as well as how emotionally aggressive you are.
Mars is ruled by Ares, the God of War. It's known as the planet of courage, strength, and activity. Where we find Mars in our charts is where we expend the greatest energy.
Having Mars as the ruler of your Moon adds an adventurous spirit open to new and exciting ideas. Self-realization occurs through your relation to experiences, and you have natural and sincere enthusiasm.
The caveat of this position is the need to consciously develop patience. This lunar position has a short-fused and uneven temper; however, as quickly as you flare up, you'll also forget the cause of your outburst.
Take care against your "me first" tendencies unless you wish to alienate others. Your mind is brilliant and acute; however, it leaves you at the mercy of nervousness and even headaches such as migraines at times. This can stem from hiding a sense of insecurity behind an aggressive exterior.
You can be very warm when inwardly stirred as well as impersonal. Feeling with your ego vs your heart may become a lifelong struggle to overcome. Focusing on positions requiring quick decisions are vital and your leadership skills are dynamic and your attitude self-reliant.

#AspectingtheCosmos, Thu, Sep 19, 2024: Compromise accomplishes much more than competition and/or demands if you don't wish to suffer loss.
Midmorning, the Sun in Virgo trine Uranus in Taurus: We may feel more day-dreamy than work-oriented this morning. Take advantage of breaks and/or lunchtime to discuss goals and dreams with colleagues or friends to keep the momentum going.
This afternoon the Moon in Aries sextile Jupiter in Gemini conjunct Chiron Rx in Aries: Fresh energy of initiation and action involving side-by-side relation/partnerships to further a goal. Healing is born from being versatile rather than rigidly breaking.
Tonight, the Moon in Aries oppose Venus in Libra: Reconciliation between these opposing forces requires a more gentle and affectionate approach over a bulldozer effect. Compromise accomplishes much more than competition and/or demands if you don't wish to suffer a loss.

Regardless of your Sun sign, your Moon also has a ruling planet.
If your Moon is in Taurus, then Venus ( ruler of Taurus ) rules your Moon and plays an important part in your natal chart. Here the Moon is exalted and provides emotional stability.
The planet Venus is ruled by the Roman goddess of Love, Venus, known as the lesser benefic and rules all forms of written, visual, and audio art, culture, and aesthetics. You are most likely gifted in many of these avenues.
Having Venus as the ruler of your Moon adds a gentle and harmonious aspect to your emotional contracts and moral character. As ruler of the 7th house, this planet also represents face-to-face, intimate, and profound relationships. Where you find Venus in your chart shows what you really enjoy.
The caveat of this position is paying any price to keep the peace or for companionship - especially at your own loss of balance. Because of the social nature of this planet, the fear of being alone is strong, but when you learn to draw spiritual strength from within yourself rather than outer influences, that fear dissipates.
Take care against narrowmindedness and convention, as they may prevent you from receiving ideas outside of those which are compatible with your stable temperament. Pride, laziness, jealousy, and obstinance must be guarded against.
You seldom succeed in straying from tradition impressed upon by your environment as a child. In friendship, love, and marriage, you are loyal and lasting. You most likely have a penchant for gardening and are referred to as a "green thumb".

Merry Mabon!
Sunday is the Autumnal Equinox and Mabon ( + 3 planetary transits ).The Equinox post is tomorrow; or you can access a sneak-peek here: inspiritualservice.com/beliefs-1
Known as the "Pagan Thanksgiving", Mabon marks the Autumn Equinox, symbolizing a time of balance, equality and harmony.
In ancient times Mabon was a celebration of the second harvest ( Lughnasadh was Aug 1 ), or Ingathering. It's a time when farmers gather hearty foods like grapes, apples, and pumpkins.
Today's celebrations extend gratitude for the abundance of Gaia - both literally and spiritually. It’s also a perfect time amid the falling leaves to reflect on the Wheel of the Year, recognizing what serves you and letting go of the things and people that did not during the past twelve months.
The Wheel coming to an end herald the perfect time to set intentions reflective of the waning light involving decrease and reduction.
The easiest (and most fun ) way to celebrate Mabon and the Autumn Equinox is to decorate your home to reflect the colors and bounty of Autumn. Fresh and dried flowers work perfectly for altars and areas about your home. Children love decorating gourds.
Some Mabon symbols you can use to decorate your home also serve the Autumn Equinox:
• Cornucopia (horn of plenty), pinecones, seeds
• Colors: Orange, red, yellow, brown, copper, dark yellow, dark green
• Foods: Corn, beans, squash, apples, pumpkins, cider, root vegetables, pomegranate, wine
• Herbs: Yarrow, rosemary, sage, mug wort, rosehips,
• Stones: Amber, citrine, cat’s eye, aventurine, sapphire, jasper
• Flowers: Sunflowers, thistle, marigolds
• Deities: Mabon, Green Man, Demeter, Persephone, Morgan, Pomona, Inanna
• Animals: Owl, stag, blackbird, salmon
I’m lucky to have my own flower gardens and trees to collect acorns and pinecones from. Unfortunately for city-dwellers, gathering such items may require visits to florists, nurseries or local farmer's markets.
It can sometimes be difficult to plan a family feast if Mabon/Equinox falls in the middle of the week, as is the case this year; however, it's not about the size but the intention behind the offering.
I'll celebrate amid floral and harvest decor, expressing what I am grateful for, as well as what I hope to accomplish in the coming year.
Celebrating solo can be a blessing. It will allow you to be more relaxed and provide the freedom to celebrate however you choose. Be that outdoors in your favorite place or a picnic on your living room floor surrounded by candles, flowers, and autumn decor.
If the trees can gracefully release their leaves and the flowers can gracefully release their petals to the earth - then we too can release what no longer serves us in order to be better servants to the earth and her inhabitants.
Expansion benefits all beings!
