The Gathering Place ( Modalities of Divination )
Mercury entered Capricorn @ 5:30 AM, 2nd House, the natural home of Taurus ruled by Venus.
Mercury rules chatty Gemini and analytical Virgo, so moving into an earthy sign such as Capricorn denotes a serious preoccupation with our thoughts and feelings. Our thinking becomes more methodical and centers on solid foundations from which to build our intentions into a reality rather than ideals.
Mercury will move out-of-bounds tomorrow ( Thu Jan 09 ) but moves pretty quickly and only remains OOB between 10-14 days. Also, it only moves OOB up to four times a year, depending on the cycle. Mostly it's twice annually.
Contrary to the Moon, Mercury is never out of bounds in the fixed signs such as Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. It is only present in cardinal (initiating) and mutable (changing) signs.
An OOB Mercury maintains a balance between nocturnal and diurnal signs, as well as a balance of elements, yet it notably lacks the stabilizing presence of the fixed signs. More on Mercury OOB: inspiritualservice.com/astrology-articles
The 2nd House is a house of personal resources and possessions along with security. Some consider it the newly embodied human establishing bodily awareness and physical security. This is the realm of surviving, thriving, and our sense of self-worth.
In grounded Capricorn, we are able to detach ourselves and become the observer. This will serve us well, especially in fields where powers of concentration are required. Detailed work is much more feasible and our diplomacy and tact shine when required. We are able to laugh at ourselves in this placement, as self-doubt is highly diminished.
In the natal chart, difficult aspects to Mercury can cause one to be too ambitious, dogmatic, suspicious, and even materialistic. If you recognize these traits, you might want to slow down a bit and re-evaluate your goals. Goals are always worth working toward, but there are more honorable ways of achieving them than being competitive and overly ambitious et al.

💫 #ApectingtheCosmos: Thu, Jan 09, 2025, EST: After the initial conjunction, today is a fertile opportunity for social contacts, practical matters, and artistic abilities.
Following our intuition during the Lunar conjunction with Uranus midmorning is advised. Psychic abilities are enhanced but doubt and/or overthinking can hinder our abilities; therefore, any epiphanies should be taken seriously. Writing them down will help preserve the memory. Follow your heart when expressing yourself.
Mid/late afternoon, the OOB Moon in Taurus sextile Neptune in Pisces sextile OOB Mars Rx in Cancer, ushering in the productivity mentioned above. Take advantage of social options, creative urges, and practical solutions.
Late tonight when the OOB Moon in Gemini trine Pluto in Aquarius, we can't help but desire to probe the emotions of others to create a deeper connection. We're psychically protected when delving into the occult or taboo. Though with the Moon in fickle & flighty Gemini, whatever we discover may not hold our interest long.

Mercury traveled OOB today:
When Mercury, the Prince of Communication and Messenger of the gods is out-of-bounds ( OOB - beyond 23°27’ declination ), whether natal or transit, there are several things we can expect.
A transit only affects you during the duration of the transit. And because Mercury moves pretty quickly and only moves OOB up to four times a year, depending on the cycle. Mostly it's twice annually, but in 2025 it will be three OOB periods.
In 2025, Mercury will be OOB the following dates:
• Capricorn: Enters Jan 09/Leaves Jan 20
• Gemini: Enters: Jun 01/Leaves Jun 20
• Sagittarius: Enters: Oct 31/Leaves Nov 10
Mercury can only be found OOB in the solstice and solstice-bordering signs of Gemini, Cancer, Sagittarius, and Capricorn.
Contrary to the Moon, Mercury is never out of bounds in the fixed signs such as Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. It is only present in cardinal (initiating) and mutable (changing) signs. Mercury maintains a balance between nocturnal and diurnal signs, as well as a balance of elements, yet it notably lacks the stabilizing presence of the fixed signs.
Mercury is also associated with the physician and healing; thus, he carries the caduceus, a short-staff wand entwined by two serpents, sometimes surmounted by wings that is now the modern symbol for medicine. However, from a mythological standpoint, Mercury could also put people asleep or be a messenger of death.
OOB planets can go one of two ways: firstly, they can produce exceptional creativity exceeding the potential of expectations; secondly, they can be erratically unpredictable and go to extremes that can detrimentally affect others, including themselves.
Those with OOB planets, to put it simply, like coloring outside the lines. That can be considered a creative genius or dangerous liability. Whether the declination is North or South is equally important.

💫 #ApectingtheCosmos: Fri, Jan 10, 2025, EST: Healing and growth are not always pleasant and can involve growing pains and emotional wounds. But it's the facing and assuming responsibility for our choices that facilitates healing and healthy growth.
We may feel an increased need for affection and social connections midmorning when the OOB Moon in Gemini square Venus in Pisces. While we feel more sensual, we should avoid impulsive actions and careless regard for others that could cause a partner or friend discomfort.
Early evening the OOB Moon conjunct Jupiter in Gemini trine OOB Ceres in Aquarius, ushering in feelings of generosity and good will. Investments of all types should prove successful whether business or personal. Our goodwilled intentions will serve those we love and care about the most.
We may feel emotionally and spiritually confined tonight when the OOB Moon in Gemini square Saturn in Pisces. If we find it difficult to maintain or create connections with others, we may want to evoke a selfcare ritual and reflect on our emotions. Taking responsibility for them is akin to healing therapy.

Tomorrow evening ( Saturday ), the North Node enters Pisces and the South Node enters Virgo @ 6:02 PM EST.
I, for one, am celebrating! For three years I have been under the shadow of the Nodes ( 18 months ), then experienced a reverse Nodal return ( 18 months ). When I review that trek through the valley of doubt against the karmic pull, the acceptance into release of what no longer served, I am amazed at the progress I've made. As I step into master astrology classes this year, I realize it was the frustration of mistakes, the precipices of giving up, and the sheer will to continue which led me to this very moment.
Throughout it all, that voice within me kept saying, "Don't give up". And though I wanted to many, MANY times. I did not.
When the True Nodal axis shifts every 18 months, the North Node zodiac sign's archetype takes precedence, in this case, Pisces, the Mystic. This is connected to our Soul's path; however, in order to attain it, we must release the fear and perceived safety of our South Node in Virgo comfort zone.
Some astrology reports you read will say Moon's Mean Nodes, while here I am using True Nodes. What's the difference? It's really quite easy.
Before the wonderful world of computer applications, the Mean Nodes were calculated by hand due to variations over a period of time. It's old school and many astrologers still adhere to the practice as a basic foundation of delineation. True Nodes are the exact spot, measurement, and location of the node at an exact moment in time calculated by a computer in a few seconds, and the tool many modern astrologers prefer.
The Moon's Nodes are considered the heart of the system. The South Node represents the karma we have brought with us not just from past lives but have accumulated during this life as well. We only karma that is not ripe ( completed ) in this life with us into the next so that we may eventually resolve it.
The South Node provides ample time to deal with our ripe karma in this life, so long as our pride and/or obstinance don't interfere. This is where the Nodes come into play, and why they are considered the heart of the system. The challenging news: When karma is ripe it's coming for us; the positive news: We are ready.

Energetic relief arrives late afternoon when OOB Mars trine Neptune in Pisces and the OOB Moon trine Venus in Pisces, enabling us to tap into our spiritual reserve and demonstrate kindness is the best defense.

25. GODDESS OF DREAMS, Vision, Intuition, Receptivity ( REVERSED )
When this card presents itself reversed, it indicates that we may feel a disconnect with the spirit world as well as the unlimited inspiration from our spirit guides that we've grown accustomed to. Perhaps we've lost the faith, or the power of belief.
It may be that we doubt our own ability to trust ourselves to correctly interpret their messages. Or have even become so busy that we haven't the time to pursue such spiritual approaches.

💫 #ApectingtheCosmos: Mon, Jan 13, 2025, EST: Facing a wound prepares us for unexpected and pertinent information. Heeding our dreams yields intuitive insight.
Midmorning we may be forced to face unhealed trauma. This could stem from a tigger or energetic influence tied to your natal chart and divine plan. Our need for comfort may oppose our desire for growth, but only one leads forward.
Late afternoon/early evening the OOB Moon in Cancer sextile Uranus Rx oppose Sun in Cap, bringing us unexpected encounters that can reveal pertinent information. Don't be surprised by sudden eccentricity, especially with the lunar opposition of the Full Wolf Moon nipping at the heels of the sextile.
Tonight, the OOB Moon conjunct OOB Mars Rx in Cancer trine Neptune in Pisces, ushering in a buildup of energy, making it difficult to sleep. Occupying the mind should help; however, if not, try exercise. Heeding our dreams yields valuable insight from peaked intuition.

First Full Moon of the Gregorian calendar for 2025; however, it's the Thirteenth Lunar Cycle on the thirteenth day, marking the final Full Moon for the Year of the Dragon.
Here in the West called it's called the Full Wolf Moon and will burgeon in Cancer 5:27 PM EST - "Emotionally Tenacity" is the key phrase.
The Moon is dignified in Cancer, so this will strengthen its influence as well as our response. When a planet is dignified, it enables us to control our circumstances, which is perfect, as the Full Moon is the time of greatest power.
When occupying Cancer, whatever has been buried will come to the surface. This can be an incredible time for awakenings, deep healing, forgiveness, and pouring emotional momentum behind manifestations.
Cancer is maternal, sympathetic, but sometimes patronizing, and apprehensive about matters outside of its control. Their primary attachment is to home and family; therefore, this Moon will touch on all our relationships and living space, urging us to process and practicing release of emotions to avoid blocks and maintain a healthy flow of energy.
This lunation can send our intuition and sensitivity into overdrive. If we allow ourselves to be imposed upon, we may feel a deep resentment. Remember, this Moon is dignified, which enables us to control our own circumstances. Adhering to boundaries is imperative.
Each month the Full Moon resides in different constellations, zodiac signs, and houses. For that reason, it’s best to know what that sign represents and which house it occupies in your personal chart, for the deepest understanding of how the Full Moon will affect you directly.
If you'd like to know which house this lunation falls in your natal chart, reach out!
According to Native American legend:
"Native American tribes have labeled full moons for many reasons. This particular full moon is called the Wolf Moon. It is said to be the time wolves howl loudly at the moon.
"They are crying out in hunger as the cold season has left them with fewer prey options. This has also been referred to as the Spirit Moon because it is the first full moon of the year, indicating the importance of setting intentions and goals.
"The wolf moon can evoke an animalist desire to be free, to be wild, untamed, to crave, and to pursue the things that we’re naturally drawn to. Even if it doesn’t make you money, even if it’s not particularly profound according to worldly standards, the full moon wants you to go after what your soul craves."
Being this is the first Full Moon of the year known also as "Spirit Moon", rituals are sacred investments in ourselves, our abilities, and the healing of parts of us that have experienced negative circumstances such as betrayal, rejection, etc.
It's time to howl at the Moon. Perhaps a sacred salt bath. Spiritual music. White candles. And some of the most important releases and intentions of the year.
