🌖OOB Moon: Waning Gibbous in Cancer
💫 #AspectingtheCosmos, Mon, Dec 16, 2024: Up until the OOB Moon enters Leo tomorrow evening; it's a great time to plan and set goals with clarity.
Early morning the Sun conjunct Medea, shining upon this alchemical asteroid illuminates our connection with the natural ways and means of Nature.
Whether through herbs, crystals, or any other form of alchemy, follow your attention to what's calling to you then listen to your heart.
Midmorning the inconjunct between the Cancerian OOB Moon and Venus in Aquarius prompts us to be honest with our feelings rather than expect others to know what we desire. The majority of our disappointments are expectations of others - who are most likely oblivious to our needs.
Early afternoon the energy shifts to a trine between the OOB Moon and Saturn in Pisces. Honoring tradition and those who came before us will gift great satisfaction. Our instincts are spot-on and can be relied upon to make important choices.
Late tonight, the Lunar square with Chiron Rx in Aries will undoubtedly accompany potential triggers. We may feel as though we don't fit it or belong anywhere. Perhaps memories of past holidays are painful to bear.
Regardless of the reason, it's time to overcome by tapping our inner strength and forge a new path to healing.

💫 #ApectingtheCosmos: REMINDER: Up until the OOB Moon enters Leo this evening is an excellent time to set goals and plan! When riding a roller-coaster, our only fear is whether the equipment is safe. Knowing it enables us to throw up our hands and enjoy the ride. Today is such a day. Trust in your solid foundation.
Freedom-loving Uranus Rx entering a trine with the OOB Moon early morning enables us to lower our defenses and open up to a greater sense of independence. Changes should be non-chaotic.
Late morning brings a Lunar inconjunct with the Sun in Sagittarius. We may experience moodiness and uncertainty. Stress can produce anxiety and/or insecurity. Finding ways to relax the mind during this window will ease these symptoms.
Early afternoon the OOB Moon trine Neptune in Pisces, bringing heightened intuition and sensitivity. Our imagination may be limitless and our creative ability to bring it to life is palpable. Those who form a relationship at this time may experience a karmic, soul-bonding familiarity.
❗️Take care during tonight's Lunation in Leo oppose Pluto in Aquarius. Melodrama and relationship discord may present themselves. Guard against knee-jerk reactions and potential moodiness between extremes. Sharing these feelings with someone you trust can alleviate the pressure.

💫 #ApectingtheCosmos: Wed, Dec 18, 2024: The quickest way to shift doubt to hope is to simply believe in our self. It's such a simple concept, yet many find it difficult to navigate feelings of worth.
Expect a burst of emotional intuition coupled with energetic passion when the Moon conjuncts Mars in creative Leo! Allow intuition and the heart to guide endeavors and take advantage of communication avenues when the Moon trine Mercury in Sagittarius early morning!
Midmorning we may encounter a loss of energetic omfph and inspiration when the Sun in Sag squares Neptune in Pisces. Avoid escapism and refuse to wear the rose-colored-glasses. Facing reality and moving through tasks ( even at a snail's pace ) will pay off huge dividends.
Early tonight, we'll figure out how to reconcile these energies when the Moon oppose Venus in Aquarius inconjunct Saturn in Pisces, as a desire for companionship increases. Do not become discouraged if your affection isn't returned. Awareness that others have their own battles to face that have nothing to do with you eases expectation.
We'll feel reinvigorated later tonight the Moon sextile Jupiter Rx, creating intuitive ways for personal growth and expansion. Focusing on the direction we desire to go and believing we'll arrive shifts our perspective from doubt to hope.

💫 #ApectingtheCosmos: Friday, Dec 20, 2024 EST ( adjust time accordingly to your zone ): The asteroids are busy today!
We may find it difficult to contain our emotions early morning when the Moon inconjunct Pluto. We are at our most discerning during this lunation; focus on the task at hand rather than treading emotional territory until this window closes.
Early evening energy shifts to a lovely trine between the Moon and Pallas, bringing intuitive wisdom and guidance into situations. Avoid over-confidence and/or arrogance because 45 minutes later the Moon square Mercury in Sagittarius, portending potential discord. Virgo is the healer and wants to improve everything; however, NOW is NOT the time to over-analyze or criticize the decisions and actions of others. Especially when unsolicited.
Tonight, another lovely trine between the Moon and Pholus in Capricorn occurs, enabling us to see beyond the layers of others. This energy can prove very enlightening and may wake us to a new direction on our Souls' path. Expect the unexpected and perhaps something magical.
Late or early tonight Venus squares off with Juno in Scorpio, bringing challenges to committed relationships designed to prompt growth and achieve a harmonic balance. Are we too complacent? Taking committed relationships for granted? Can we improve ourselves to foster acceptance & understanding between others?

The Longest Night, Winter Solstice
In the Celtic calendar, the longest night begins tomorrow night @ 5:16 PM, with the setting of the sun. Sunday's return of the Light occurs at sunrise, 7:29 AM EST. Daylight will last only 9h 49m 33s tomorrow followed by 9h 49m 34s Sunday.
May your hearth be warm,
your company merry,
and your spirits bright.
Withering Roots
Tomorrow will also the first day of Winter,
Honoring the Winter solstice is important because it's a time to slow down and turn inward, something that can be overlooked not just in the holiday frenzy, but out of habit as well. After a bustling spring, a busy summer, and rush of harvest, it can be difficult for the body to acclimate to a slower, more relaxed pace; however, slowing down is a prelude to hearing one of the greatest teachers on Earth: Mother Nature.
Many do not know how to navigate the chilling temperatures or darkness and instead battle with melancholy and depression in the absence of natural warmth and light. This can be particularly harmful for those who isolate themselves from society.
Unfortunately, human nature isn't as easy to detect as nature herself. Visibly everything appears to die in Nature—trees, flowers, and so forth. A deep freeze falls across the land and replaces a once beautiful view out of the window. Of course, we have learned that nature is merely dormant, drawing sustenance through its roots to return brilliantly in spring.
But what about people? People don't shed their leaves or lose their petals. How can we tell when their roots are being sustained or withering when we can't see them?

#CollectiveCasting #Tarot Card & Celestial Schedule of the Week: Sun, Dec 22 - 28, 2024: No 5. Obstacles and Challenges
With success often comes challenges that we must face in order to overcome them. Else we would remain complacent. While this may seem as though it's a difficult time to get through, it's not impossible if we keep our minds open to the bigger picture and trace the source of the issue.
Too often we get caught up in the emotions of an event, whether past or present, which prevents us from moving forward. This is a time to step back and observe the big picture. Become an observer in your own story rather than suffer through it.
We may have taken a wrong turn last week or perhaps are feeling regret over some past decisions and/or actions that this holiday season brings to the surface like flotsam and jetsam. The purpose here is to evaluate WHY we feel the way we feel.
If we can trace the emotion that we're currently experiencing BACK to the first time we can remember feeling it, then we can change the outcome of that experience by envisioning a new story. Take the knowledge we glean from this so we can apply it to the future.
This card is also an indication that competition is around you either personally or professionally. Refuse to play the comparison game and shine as brightly as you can.

I want to wish a very Happy Solar Return to all my #Capricorn friends and followers! The solstice was busy ( plus I'm working my ass off on deadlines ), and I didn't have time to post; however, I didn't forget about you! xo
Some information about #Capricorn:
SYMBOL: The Seagoat's horn and tail ♑
MODE + ELEMENT: Cardinal Earth 🌱
RULING PLANET: #Saturn 🪐
HOUSE: 10th 🏠
MANTRA: “I use”
BODY PART: Knees & lower leg 🦵
COLORS: Blue, Black, and Pure White. Blue is the luckiest and regarded as the power color symbolic of ‘Saturn’, their ruling planet. 💙🖤🤍
ARCHANGEL: #Azrael🪶
GODDESS: #Persephone, Goddess Of Harvest & Queen Of The Underworld.
ARCHETYPE: The Ruler
The #Archangel linked to Capricorn is #Azrael, also known as the angel of Unconditional Love, governs the planet Neptune and the zodiac sign Capricorn. His associated color is green, and his name translates to "God Is My Aid" or "Whom God Has Bound By Oath."
This AA serves as a powerful ally in discerning truth, distinguishing fact from rumor. He offers guidance and protection during rituals to contact the deceased and facilitates communication with other spiritual entities. He also aids in overcoming bewitchment and dispelling malevolent illusions.
The #goddess associated with Cardinal Capricorn, the harbinger of Winter, is #Persephone, Goddess of Harvest and Queen of the Underworld.
Her abduction myth, her stay in the underworld, and her periodic return to the surface symbolize her roles as the spring embodiment and the vegetation personification, especially of grain crops, which go into the earth when planted, emerge from the earth in spring, and are reaped when mature.
The Sun enters the Seagoat on a Saturday, ruled by the Saturn, representing longevity, exorcism, endings, homes, and houses.
The Waning Disseminating Moon in Virgo heralds a time for study, meditation, and little magical work except that designed to banish harmful energies.
Capricorn ( Jan ) Birthstone* 💍
By her in January born
No gem save Garnets should be worn;
They will ensure her constancy,
True friendship, and fidelity.
Modern: Garnet
Zodiac: Ruby
As a Cardinal sign, Capricorn is ambitious, serious, and dedicates to duty. Life can seem difficult, but ultimately Capricorns triumph. They are self-disciplined, responsible and practical, at and at times wallow in self-pity.
They have excellent reasoning ability and a strong sense of purpose and direction. They may appear somber and reserved in their dealings with others, but once they trust you, they are loyal and steadfast.
They are socially oriented and willing to work hard for anything they want. Their self-esteem is extremely important to them.
*Birthstone poetry reprinted from 'The Occult and Curative Powers of Precious Stones' by William T. Fernie, MD. Harper & Row ( 1981 )

Early evening the Moon inconjunct Saturn in Pisces trine Jupiter in Gemini, suggesting that an alteration of our perspective or perhaps attitude regarding a situation can lead to growth and personal/professional expansion.
Tonight, Venus in Aquarius sextile Chiron Rx in Aries, opening a window of opportunity of healing by viewing our self as we do those we love, with a deep appreciation of who they are: light and shadow. Accepting our darkness is the only way to bring it forth into the light for healing.
Later tonight Pallas Athene conjunct Pholus in Capricorn, opening our mind to a revelation or sudden epiphany imbued with wisdom. If there are any boundaries to defend, we'll strategize with honor and integrity.

The Legend of the Yule King
Long ago, in the depths of winter, when the days were shortest and the nights stretched endlessly, the people of the land would gather to honour the changing of the seasons. It was a time when the frost covered the earth in a sparkling blanket, and the wind howled through the trees, whispering of the old ways. In those days, there lived two mighty kings who ruled over the cycle of the year – the Yule King and the Oak King.
The Yule King, an ancient figure with a crown of holly and ivy, reigned over the darkest days of winter. His face was lined with the years, his beard long and white as the snow, and his cloak seemed woven from the very chill of the north winds. His kingdom was one of frost and stillness, a time when the land rested in slumber beneath the cold earth. The Yule King’s power was immense, for he governed the silence and stillness of winter, making the nights longer and the days shorter. He was a king of endurance, a guardian of the deep sleep that winter brings.
But though the Yule King was wise and revered, his reign could not last forever. For deep within the heart of the forest, a rival king, the Oak King, waited for his time to come. The Oak King was young and full of light, with a crown made of oak leaves and a heart as warm as the sun. His power grew as the days lengthened, for he was the king of spring and summer, the bringer of warmth and life. Every year, as the solstice approached, the Oak King prepared to challenge the Yule King for dominion over the land.
On the night of the winter solstice, when the darkness reached its peak, the two kings would meet in a great battle. The Yule King, with his cold and quiet strength, would face the Oak King, whose warmth and light had begun to stir beneath the earth. The battle was one of great force, each king wielding his power against the other. The Yule King brought the stillness of winter, and the Oak King brought the promise of the sun’s return.
As the night wore on, the Oak King, with his light growing ever stronger, would rise victorious. The Yule King’s power would wane, and the first signs of the sun’s return would be felt, ever so faintly, on the horizon. With his defeat, the Yule King would bow and retreat, retreating into the deep shadows of winter. His time had passed, and it was the Oak King’s turn to rule.
But the Yule King’s reign was not one of pure darkness, for it brought with it a quiet magic. His rule reminded the people of the importance of rest, of patience, and of the quiet strength found in times of hardship. Though his time was brief, his legacy lived on, for it was through winter’s stillness that the first stirrings of spring could grow.
And so, year after year, the battle between the Yule King and the Oak King continued, a dance as old as the land itself. When the Oak King reigned, life would return to the earth, and the world would be filled with light and warmth. But when the Yule King ruled, the people would remember the quiet power of winter, waiting in anticipation for the return of the sun, knowing that in time, the cycle would begin anew.
