The Gathering Place ( Modalities of Divination )
OOB Medea entered Capricorn last night @ 10:17 PM, EST, 5th House, the natural home of Leo ruled by the Sun.
Mythology
Goddess Medea: The Wise One
Zodiac Association: Scorpio & Pluto
According to the Larousse Encyclopedia of Mythology (1968), Medea imparts "female wisdom," stemming from the Sanskrit concept or force of "medha." This concept is also shared by other mythological figures like Métis and Medusa. Additionally, it traces back to the Babylonian "Me" or "Mother Wisdom," as well as the Egyptian 'Met' and the Greek "Meter," which also means 'mother”. Her name means “Wise One”.
In Greek Mythology, she is considered to be the source of all healing, and was versed in the use of herbs, magical plants, potions, and the art of transformation. She held the title of Princess of Colchis, was the granddaughter of Helios, the Sun god, and the niece of Circe, the enchantress. Many believe that her archetype transcends time and space, offering insights into the transformative power of the Dark Feminine.
‘Of all things upon earth that bleed and grow, A herb most bruised is woman’ Euripes, Medea
According to Lisbeth Cheever-Gessaman, she represents the untamed wildness of the soul, the shadow self that holds the keys to our deepest desires and fears. Through her, we learn to embrace the darkness within us, harnessing its potent energy for personal growth and spiritual evolution.
She was also recognized as the first sorceress to conduct rituals in Thessaly, is a pivotal figure in the region's reputation as 'the land of the witches.' Her legend suggests that she was instrumental in bringing women's herbal knowledge from Asia Minor to Greece.
In later myths, Medea is often remembered not for her healing skills but as a vengeful and rejected partner, overwhelmed by jealousy for which she found no cure. During the classical era, playwrights portrayed Medea as being consumed by anger, taking the lives of her own children to retaliate against Jason's betrayal.
Medea serves as a symbol of the profound respect and understanding of healing, herbs, and magic that was introduced to the West, only to be gradually overlooked and ultimately vilified. The myth contains elements of an ancient tradition. The name Jason signifies 'healer,' and his alliance with Medea reflects the traditional methods of healing that existed prior to the rise of empirical medicine and the vilification of magical practices.
As a heroine, she embodies the feminine wisdom that intuitively understands cooperation with nature and its cycles. She has an instinctual knowledge of the precise moments to conduct rituals and ceremonies that summon healing spirits or banish demons.
A prominent Medea in a birth chart signals a call to delve into the age-old feminine practices of herbalism, alchemy, and magical rituals. It speaks to our innate understanding of the body's natural cycles and its requirements for wellness.
This goddess evokes the time-honored tradition of connecting with the plant world, acknowledging the wisdom of nature, and recognizing the potent healing and transformative qualities inherent in the natural realm. Instinctively, the witch represents the drive that guides us to the right remedies and potions at the opportune moment and is the inspiration to craft rituals and ceremonies that summon the goddess's energies.
Medea in Capricorn
As a Cardinal sign, Capricorn is ambitious, serious, and dedicated to duty. Life can seem difficult, but ultimately Capricorns triumph.
They are self-disciplined, responsible and practical, but at times wallow in self-pity. However, 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.
Socially oriented and willing to work hard for anything they want, a Capricorn's self-esteem is extremely important to them.
When you combine the transformative nature of Medea with the articulate and dependable nature of Capricorn, you get an alchemical cocktail of dedication and commitment balanced with a reasoning ability strong enough to temper the jealous and vengeful side of Medea.
Guarding against melancholia is advisable by focusing on alchemical creations that can transform our personal or professional lives. These projects can be scheduling revisions that enable us to work smarter not harder or utilizing the organizational skills of Capricorn to get our ducks in a row.
This is a profound opportunity to advance our careers and get our personal lives in order if we avoid wallowing in self-pity ( that can affect our self-esteem and confidence ). The courage we need to transform ourselves is available through alchemy.

Venus glides from progressive Aquarius into charitable Pisces tomorrow night @ 10:25 PM, EST, 7th House.
Venus rules Taurus and Libra; however, is exalted in Pisces, and is known as the planet of Love. She rules over artistic endeavors, cultural influences, aesthetics, beauty, charm, good taste, and partnerships.
The keyword for Pisces is "understanding", as they possess a compassionate and sympathetic nature when demonstrating their positive characteristics.
These two are cojoining in the 7th house, representing intimate relationships and those we attract through friendships, romance, and even business partnerships of all kinds.
This house is the natural home of Libra, where those around us become mirrors and teachers on our journey to knowing our worth.
Venus has been under the liberating influence of Aquarius; however, moving into Pisces will place her under the dreamy influence of Neptune, ruler of the mystical and spiritual.
Here she is exalted and can strut about from under the weight of the crown, as an heiress flitting about socially without shackles.
Venus is not just considered the Goddess of Love, but the glue of the Universe—as love is the highest essence of all creation. Thus,
"Live each moment to the fullest" should be our mantra!
DIVE into Love. And I don't mean just romantic love, but that of friendship, the earth, creation as a whole. Fall in love with every moment of every day and all that you are blessed with.
Revel in the essence of Love - travel, go places you've never been, experience things you've never done throughout this lovely influence.
It's also the perfect time to heal estranged relationships. Love heals all things, so be kind, be courageous, and be love in all your deeds and communications.

💫 #ApectingtheCosmos: Thu, Jan 02, 2025, EST: Even the darkest and coldest night holds beauty if we seek it out. "Many a Winter's night she flies through the streets and peeps in at the windows and then the ice freezes on the panes into wonderful patterns like flowers."

Vesta enters Scorpio this evening @ 6:10 PM, EST, 5th House: Passion meets Intuition in this coupling between our inner flame and intense emotions.
As Goddess of the Hearth, the Greeks worshipped Vesta as the keeper of both the sacred fire and the home fire. She was a symbol of protection which insured the cohesion of the state and family for the people of the earth.
Vesta in the fifth house suggests a dedication to one's personal creative expressions—children or artistic forms. Alienation from children, romance, and the pleasure or creative blockage can often result. Sexual inhibition occurs through excessive sublimation of sexual energy into fifth-house affairs, or a painstaking focus on flaws may sabotage spontaneity.
Because Scorpio is associated with unearthing, we are apt to be more perceptive during this transit, particularly regarding the undercurrent, or things not seen. This window also signifies focus and creative passions associated with transformation and intimacy.

💫 #ApectingtheCosmos: Fri, Jan 03, 2025, EST: Battling a conflict of inner feelings can consume our attention. Giving the mind a break by focusing on beauty and what we appreciate often alleviates the tension and allows energies to reconcile themselves without force.
Overnight Mars oppose Pluto, creating a tense polarity between desires and the struggle to achieve them. Avoid becoming controlling and/or competitive. Instead, maintain your integrity while adjusting your methods of attainment.
Late morning & early afternoon the Moon conjunct Venus inconjunct Mars in Leo, ushering a window of emotional peace. Our sensory perception regarding appreciation of beauty will be enhanced, making it an excellent time to express our feelings to others. HOWEVER, we will also be susceptible to lower-vibrational energies, so guard against knee-jerk reactions toward others.
Midafternoon Mercury inconjunct Uranus Rx in Taurus can liberate our mind to new and innovative concepts that may affect the collective as a whole, as long as we don't allow our inhibitions to restrict our rationale.
Early evening Venus inconjunct Mars, increasing our desire for adventure and pleasure. Guard against a push-pull polarity between affection and resentment hi-jacking our attention. Focus instead on the beauty and pleasure we seek.
