Let loose and engage in entertainment that lifts the spirit: Artistic endeavors, music, singing and/or dance. Engage the higher thought and rise to avoid any escapist temptation through addition, which means party in moderation.

Ceres enters Pisces Sunday @ 5:52 PM, EST, 7th House.
This Roman goddess was originally known to the ancient Greeks as Demeter. Her name was derived from da meter, meaning "Earth Mother". She is the sister of goddesses Vesta, hearth and home, and Juno, committed relationships.
As goddess of agriculture and the harvest, Ceres symbolized the cultivated, fertile soil that fed and provided for humanity. One of the greatest ancient myths involves the daughter of Ceres, Kore/Persephone's abduction by Hades/Pluto to the underworld. Cere's loss of her daughter became a lesson of loss and return that was re-enacted for roughly 2,000 years as the initiation rites of the Eleusinian Mysteries.
In an act of rage against her brother, Zeus, who had approved of Hade's abduction of Persephone, Ceres prevented the ripening of crops so that they withered in rot in the soil, on their vines, stalks, and branches. If she must live without her daughter, then humanity would suffer without sustenance, symbolized by winter.
Realizing his defeat, Zeus eventually compromised to allow Persephone to return to her mother in the spring of each year and remain through summer. Thus, spring symbolizes the lifting of Ceres' curse upon the earth. The soil became rich and fertilized once again, and fruits were bountiful. Persephone's return to Pluto is symbolized by autumn, when death begins to ripen into winter.
According to C.G. Jung, "To enter Ceres mean to be pursued, to be robbed, to be raped, to fail to understand, to rage and grieve, but then to get everything back and be born again." He believed that the function of mother in psychology governs a number of qualities that cannot be contained to just one zodiac sign, and attributes Ceres functions best in Cancer, Taurus-Scorpio, and Virgo.
Ceres' aspects to the planets describe how the nurturing/mothering function may be integrated with other areas of the personality. Harmonious aspects in a transit or natal chart indicate easy blending while stressful aspects signify potential conflicts between nurturing needs and individual requirements. Balancing these two polarities eliminates the need for stress as a motivational factor.
Cere's will enter Pisces square to Sedna 00°GEM06' and Juno 00°SAG29'. Conversely, Juno sits opposite Sedna 00°22', forming a T-square. This is significant, particularly on the critical 00° ( referred to as the Ingress ) which symbolizes the beginning of an astrological season or a planet’s transit through a sign.
Because this degree is the beginning, the zodiac signs the planets enter is VERY felt here. In this case, we have Pluto in Aquarius, Juno in Sagittarius, and Ceres in Pisces on the 00°; therefore, the traits of Aquarius ( imagination ), Sagittarius ( visualization ), and Pisces ( understanding ) will be intensified.
The square aspect represents a challenge, dynamic tension, turning point, or accomplishment. The potential of any chart lies in its squares and if you don't understand them, they can appear as stumbling blocks; however, understanding them enables us to construct steppingstones based on decision followed by action.
Aquarius is a fixed sign; therefore, the action is slow and deliberate, while mutable Sagittarius and Pisces' actions will be variable depending on the influences of the former fixed signs. Therefore, we can assume that Ceres entering mutable Pisces will vary her action on understanding based on the impact of Pluto in Aquarius' imagination/revelation and Sagittarius' unifying vision.
Steppingstones or building blocks are established when our attention is focused on actions that produce long term results aligning with our visions.
Stumbling blocks will occur if we allow our thoughts to travel to self-doubt or if fear paralyzes us from making positive choices. Indecisiveness facilitates not only procrastination but a sinking ship of dreams.
These aspects will continue well into the second week of March and will be followed by a square to Jupiter in Gemini, where our forward movement and resolve will be tested. This is yet another opportunity to expand our interests through partnerships, dedication to hard work, and structural organization that brings about initial results that boost our self-confidence and validate our worth.
The opposition between Juno and Sedna emphasizes the need to unify energetic polarities involving committed relationships and more advanced sensory perceptions rather than traditional methods. It's time to step out of the box and into our dreams.
Ceres in the positive characteristics of Pisces combines the nurturing aspect with that of compassion, understanding, intuitive empathy, and forward movement should we utilize the power of the aforementioned aspects. Conversely, the "angry mother" aspect of Ceres can emerge through the negative characteristics of Pisces as melancholy, pessimism, emotional inhibition, and indolence.
The "Great Mother" in Pisces presents a wonderful opportunity to nurture our own minds to achieve spiritual heights in character and goals.

💫 #ApectingtheCosmos: Sun, Feb 23, 2025: Anchors are valuable and keep us physically grounded; however, they can also prevent us from emotionally and spiritually advancing. Our Vessels are meant to sail in-between docking.
Early morning the Moon in Capricorn sextile the Sun in Pisces, creating a portal of balance between our emotional and inner self. Our minds are inventive, and we are expressive and eager to begin or further our personal interests.
We may want to pull back just a bit when Mercury in Pisces trine OOB Mars Rx in Cancer right before noon. We may be excited to communicate our desires; however, avoid arrogance & impulsiveness actions, especially spending at this time. Evaluating or revamping our bookkeeping proves helpful.
This afternoon the Moon in Capricorn square Venus in Aries quincunx Jupiter in Gemini, indicating a transformation can occur if we're willing to release something that's holding us back. This could be an emotion such as fear, or a person/job who is not fostering our spiritual growth.
Releasing this anchor enables us to move toward our dreams and wishes. Carefully analyze all aspects of your life right now. What is not energetically aligning with your goals? Make a plan to change it.

Weekly Oracle Card Reading & Celestial Guidance: Feb 23 - Mar 01, 2025
1. #ARIES: Act
#Aries asks that you remember your personal fire, your reasons for being alive. It pumps up the volume on your life force—its energy is raw, exhilarating, direct, rude, passionate, and looking for a challenge. Use your wisdom to focus this raw power into a worthy goal rather than arrogant and domineering behavior.
Move into new territory. Cut the chase. Be a hero. Feel the call to action and thoughtfully respond rather than exercising a "me-first" intolerant attitude.
Aries activates our inner adolescent; direct orders can set off knee-jerk rebellion. Instead of telling others what to do, or how they feel, express your own experience and opinion and speak in "I" terms. Set a challenge and allow others to discover their own answers.

OOB Mars stations direct in Cancer Sunday night @ 9:00 PM, EST. His power loses a great deal of force in the watery, emotional sign of the Crab, and he finds himself unable to control circumstances and situations with the force he is so accustomed to wielding at will. However, serving as the protector of this domestic sign serves him and other perfectly.
Monday brings a perfect day to attend to outstanding projects or goals. Communication, focus, and organizational abilities enable our desire to reach our goals when a double sextile between the waning crescent Moon in Capricorn and Mercury/Saturn in Pisces permeates the morning.
Tuesday brings a double conjunction between the OOB Moon in Aquarius/Pluto followed 90 minutes later by Mercury in Pisces/Saturn in the 1st House. If you need to rest or have fun, rest and/or have fun—but never give up following your heart. Even one step is further than you were.

OOB Mars Stations Direct in Cancer @ 9:00 PM, 10th House tonight.
I for one am breathing a sigh of relief that my traditional overlord will begin to move forward, though he still remains OOB and in his fall ( opposite its exaltation ) in this watery lagoon of emotion, experiencing difficulty expressing his real nature.
Cancer has a very nurturing and connective nature while Mars, on the other hand, is all about forceful aggression and acquisition. However, Mars is also known as the protector, which would serve him well in this Moonchild's realm.
Mars can bring resistance and conflict to the ethos of Cancer, who may attempt to stifle his nature in return—which is, of course, utterly contrary to what he represents: heat, fire, violence, and war. His negative side can also produce illness or sudden accidents.
His power loses a great deal of force in the watery, emotional sign of the Crab, and he finds himself unable to control circumstances and situations with the force he is so accustomed to wielding at will.
In some signs, such as Aries, Scorpio, and Capricorn, Mars is magnificent! We witness positive traits of strength, courage, and tenacity. Conversely, when poorly placed, we cringe at his sudden destruction, angry disruptions, and self-centered crudeness.
In essence, Cancer has an unruly and rebellious child in her home producing an upheaval in balance and harmony in this sensitively domestic sign.
The weaponry Mars wields are those of battle—the goal, as is the case of all war, is to divide and conquer. However, being Mars is divided from himself in this placement, additional attempts to divide will only exacerbate rather than solve the issue.
Nope, hard-shelled Cancer won't budge. This is her home and her rules. Therefore, it is up to Mars to conform. Ruled by the Moon, Cancer's soft and yet firm in her boundaries; thus, she wraps each planet who visits in a warm womb of welcome. Reconciliation and connection are her priorities, which, as you can imagine, does not make a warrior comfortable.
On the contrary, whatever primordial urge that Mars connects to through this watery, Lunar sign will remain suppressed or burst through suddenly, indicative of a destructive or rebellious teenager, or 'Warrior at Home' syndrome.
Mars in Cancer is akin to a soldier returning home after war but forgetting to leave the soldier on the field of battle. Instead, he brings the battle home. This has been documented repeatedly throughout history in veterans suffering from PTSD.
Yet, the man is very much within the warrior and is being given an opportunity to reconnect with love and nurturing. This includes the love and nurturing of himself by himself and a reconnection of spirit.
This is so much more than a wo/man having to conform to the rules of home. On the contrary, it's all about self-love and accepting love from others.
Therefore, no matter what tactics this Mars employs, Cancer isn't budging; her offer is firm. If Mars balks, then it will resemble a divisive family conflict, or all-out war, where no one truly triumphs. Least of all Mars, who will leave this watery sign without the gift or vital knowledge of self-surrender through acceptance.
His aggressive actions will rip apart the very foundation he fought with fire and brimstone to protect, while Cancer kept the home fires burning, waiting for the Warrior's return.
And there's your irony in a nutshell.
In the book, “Astromythology” (Llewelyn, 2004), Raven Kaldera assigns Mars in Cancer to Frey, a god from the Norse pantheon who gives up his sword in exchange for love.
That is a perfectly adept metaphor for this fiery transit through water. Like the Klingon Warf laying down his killer instincts for the Betazoid Councilor, Deanna Troi.
Lay down your sword and shield, Warrior. Partake of the fruits of your victory, learn to love yourself by allowing the nurturing nature of Cancer to imbue you with peace from within—that you may rest for just a bit before rising to battle again. In the famous words of Andrew Barton:
"I am wounded, but am not slaine;
I'le lay mee downe and bleed a-while,
And then I'le rise and fight againe."
Mars will enter Leo April 18 @ 12:21 AM, EST.
