The Gathering Place ( Modalities of Divination )
#Art Odilon Redon
Venus reenters Aries today @ 1:16 PM, EDT, 9th House, the natural home of Sagittarius ruled by Jupiter. This is a realm of philosophy, ethics, religion, spiritual growth and higher education.
"Venus was originally an Italian goddess of blossoms; hearts and flowers eventually were incorporated into this mythos due to her loving, passionate and creative energies; in fact, her name became the root for the word venerate—to lift up, worship, or esteem."
Later she was adopted by the Greeks as Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, followed by the Roman Venus.
Venus enters her detriment in Aries; therefore, her influence will assume more of Aries' coloration; therefore, be cautious about our actions and behavior. Venus is notorious for socializing and flirting, which can set some wildfires of emotion where quick-tempered Aries is concerned.
Gaining a broader perspective is encapsulated here, and the ninth house radiates when we engage in social arts such as conversation, exploration, visual arts, and music. Adventure also proves for valuable experience.
The transit of Venus typically signifies a period when the cosmos bestows upon us a modest gift of warmth or affection, as well as a well-earned respite. These times are often sociable and amiable, where we engage in more mingling than usual and show greater interest in fine dining and comfortable surroundings over anything that resembles work.
During the span of this transit, Venus will traverse approximately one degree every two days. This gradual transition will allow us to observe subtle changes in our sentiments regarding love and romance.
Aries' energy motivates us to embrace boldness and creativity in matters of love; however, with Venus in her detriment, we may demonstrate a bit more caution in our actions by refusing to make impulsive decisions. Whether considering a separation, reunion, or established boundary, we are more apt to take our time.
Also guard against impetuous, aggressive behavior, especially in partnerships. Those of us currently in romantic partnerships are urged to reconcile after minor disputes or misunderstandings by assuming responsibility for their actions coupled with a commitment to change, as this would foster a trust that endures a lifetime.
This placement can be a blessing or a curse whether Venus. There could be more dramatic energy manifesting itself as possessiveness, jealousy, and even obsessiveness. This is why overtly flirtatious behavior and/or excessive socializing as per Venus' nature can easily trigger a partner.
On the other hand, if we pay close attention to any red flags of our behavior, this transit heralds an exhilarating period characterized by vibrant passion and a zest for adventure, albeit the treks may be of a somewhat slower nature.
This transit favors travel, communication, and pioneering new projects. Aries embodies energy and action combined with courage while Venus represents affection, socializing, and a sense of value. Therefore, this transit lends the confidence necessary for new adventures or romantic relationships.
This combination can be a tremendous blessing or a curse—you decide which.

💫#AspectingtheCosmos, Thu, May 01, 2025: Everything we encounter and everyone we meet is an opportunity to improve ourselves.
Early through midmorning the Gemini Moon square Neptune in Aries inconjunct Pluto in Aquarius: This energy is best navigated when we focus on others, within our boundaries, rather than our self. We may be required to adjust our attitude or doubt in order to spiritually advance. Remember that everything we encounter and everyone one we meet is an opportunity to better ourselves.
East coast night owls will encounter the Moon in Cancer sextile the Sun in Taurus, presenting an excellent opportunity to clutter clear the mind and domestic environment. Getting rid of excess thoughts calms the monkey mind and beautifying our surroundings produces feelings of appreciation. It also clears the energy and altars our mood. This enables us to clearly see and analyze how to obtain what we want.

Blessed Beltane or May Day ( Northern Hemisphere ) and Samhain ( Southern )! May the warmth of the fire be always warm within the hearths of our hearts! Rabbit! Rabbit!🔥❤️
My mother's people were traced back to the Isle of Skye, a Scottish island to the west of the mainland, and my father's ancestors were from Aberdeen on the east coast of Scotland.
I remember visiting when we lived in England and all of the new and strange emotions that accompanied that visit. I was only around 10-11 years-old, but I didn't realize then, at such an early age, that that the land of my ancestor's was resonating within me.
The Sky looked different, the ocean moved differently, and the air carried memories that sparked my senses. My dream was to always return to Skye one day for a Beltane festival to welcome summer and honor Mother Earth properly. A dream I haven't given up on.
For those of you unfamiliar with Beltane, it's an ancient pagan ( pre-Christian ) festival that welcomes summer with the ritual of fire, maypole dances, and flowers. It's typically observed on May 1st; however, in many places it's celebrated on the Sunday prior to May 1st if it falls on a weekday.
More information:
Beltane is first mentioned in a glossary attributed to Cormac, bishop of Cashel and king of Munster, who was killed in 908. Cormac describes how cattle were driven between two bonfires on Beltane as a magical means of protecting them from disease before they were led into summer pastures—a custom still observed in Ireland in the 19th century.
Other festivities included Maypole dances and cutting of green boughs and flowers.
In early Irish lore a number of significant events took place on Beltane, which long remained the focus of folk traditions and tales in Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man. As did other pre-Christian Celtic peoples, the Irish divided the year into two main seasons.
Winter and the beginning of the year fell on November 1 (Irish: Samain) and midyear and summer on May 1 (Irish: Beltaine).
These two junctures were thought to be critical periods when the bounds between the human and supernatural worlds were temporarily erased; on May Eve witches and fairies roamed freely, and measures had to be taken against their enchantments.

💫#AspectingtheCosmos, Fri, May 02, 2025: One who fears loss in the face of difficulties can trace the insecurity to its origin for healing clues.
Early afternoon Venus conjunct Neptune in Aries. Expect a heightened sense of creativity & romance (especially if you have Aries placements). Pay attention to synchronicities and don't be surprised if you suddenly remember a dream. We may feel drawn to spirituality or desire connections with a likeminded energy, particularly if this occurs in your 7th house. If in your 12th, a longing for solitude may arise, creating the perfect opportunity to connect with Source.
Tonight, the Moon in Cancer square Chiron in Aries. We often face challenges to test our resolve. The revelations are a blessing because they reveal unhealed wounds. They're a gauge for self-worth and what we consider important. One who fears loss or threatened in the face of difficult circumstances can trace the initial feeling to its source. If we experience insecurity or fear, remember this situation is a revelation and here to push us from our complacency into action that will perfect healing.

💫#AspectingtheCosmos, Sat, May 03, 2025: Having faith in ourselves enables us to achieve authenticity based on integrity.
Mid-late morning, the Leo Moon trine Neptune & Venus in Aries. If you've been working too hard and feel like you're spinning in place, then it's time to relax. Balance is essential to maintain a healthy outlook on our self-worth, and there is no better medicine than laughter. Have some silly fun to restore self-confidence!
Midafternoon the Leo Moon oppose Pluto in Aquarius: With a more relaxed mind and boost in self-confidence, we are able to focus without allowing unnecessary distractions pull us from our goals. Having faith in ourselves enables us to achieve authenticity based on integrity. Here we and discover we are supported and guided in every step.
Tonight, the Moon conjunct Venus in Leo, sweeping in an imaginative and creative energy steeped in cultural and artistic appreciation. It's like a return to our inner child, where everything seems magical, filled with new beginnings and achievement born from disciplined dedication.

Pluto stations Retrograde in Aquarius Sunday morning @ 11:27 AM EDT, and will remain such thru October 13 @ 10:54 PM EDT. This Rx is happening in the 8th (Whole ) House, the natural home of Scorpio ruled by Mars & Pluto. This is a house of karmic connections, sexuality, research, secrets, and legacies.
Pluto stations Rx once a year while opposing the Sun, lasting around five months, so this retrograde isn't out of the ordinary.
This planet is known as the harbinger of destruction and is represents transformation and reformation. A Plutonian retrograde is typically a time of inner reflection and re-evaluation of our relationships, particularly our family, friends, associates, and the power-struggles we may experience with them.
The First Quarter Square Moon in Leo is also happening Sunday, reemphasizing the need for a sacred pause. Taken symbolically or metaphorically, perhaps it's a lunar sign for us to observe a sacred pause in our own life and observe whatever challenges we may be facing.
But don't get too caught up in blocks. Being proud of how much we've accomplished is equally important because it renews our sense of accomplishment and motivation.
When re-evaluating our relationships, ask yourself how you feel in the presence of each person. Do you feel controlled? Manipulated? Unable to be your authentic self or express your feelings without fear of repercussions? If you feel this way, Pluto Rx is here to provide the power you need to break the cycle of fear so that you can be free.
The tool of preference is distance vs engaging in any power-struggle for control. If those whom you feel have dominated, manipulated, or controlled you cannot be reasoned with, or respect your boundaries, then it's time to distance yourself gracefully from them. If someone pressures you for creating distance, they are operating out of their own fear of loss and/or not being in control.
We are not here to change anyone's mind or behavior; we are only here to improve ourselves. Whatever action we decide to take should always be for our greatest good, which serves the greater good of the whole.
If those whom you wish to distance from are immediate family, work associates, or close "friends", then distancing may not be possible. We can, however, set boundaries and ignore any passive-aggressive, manipulative, and/or controlling behavior they may attempt. Even if it's walking to another room and closing the door. Or walking outside and around the block to distance ourselves.
We teach others how to treat us by what we accept. Pluto is here to add power to the dissolution or reformation of our relationships.
This five-month Rx trek isn't just about our relationships with others; it's about the relationship with ourselves. Are we operating out of fear or love? Do we find ourselves trying to control the behavior of others?
Do we catch ourselves being manipulative to get what we want? Or do we have secret habits that are taking us down the rabbit hole of destruction: addiction ( this could be drugs, alcohol, sex, food, etc. ), hidden prejudice, secret judgments, and so forth.
This is not a time for power-struggles, or they will backfire by evolving into repetitive habits that become more destructive as time passes. It's a time to clean the slate of relationships that do not add to our quality of life, and habits that prevent us from obtaining the quality of life that we want and deserve.
We don't meet anyone by chance. Some are here to teach us how to set boundaries and distance ourselves. Not all are here to transform into a positive experience that will remain in our life.
Our goal is here is mastery over ourselves: our choices and behavior. None of us are born to subservient to another's power trip, including our own.

🌓First Quarter Moon in Leo @ 9:52 AM EDT, 9th House ( whole house system), the natural home of Sagittarius ruled by Jupiter, the great benefic.
The moon is burgeoning toward the fullness of her light is called the "yang" phase, a masculine reference which implies strength and determination to achieve the fullness of one's goals.
In alignment with the Spring months - it's a time of action, commitment, and preparation to reap the harvest of labor. Rest will come in the symbolic winter, or "yin" phase of the Moon.
It's also a great time to re-evaluate the plan we've drafted in order to reach our goals. While this Lunar stage has already gone through the new to waxing crescent phase, the First Quarter Square now observes a sacred pause to briefly consider its next phase: Waxing Gibbous.
Taken symbolically or metaphorically, perhaps it's a lunar sign for us to observe a sacred pause in our own life and observe whatever challenges we may be facing. But don't get too caught up in blocks. Being proud of how much we've accomplished is important because it renews our sense of accomplishment and motivation.
Keep nurturing your dreams and trust in the process of development, even in the face of stumbling blocks. Your efforts will yield results with patience and attention. View this lunar phase as a midpoint to manifesting success!
Focus on growth and forward movement, no matter how dark it gets. This darkness could include doubts or fear; and those emotions/thoughts should be honored as they rise; however, not held as absolute truth but a moment in time that will pass.
The purpose here is to shine the light into dark emotions and give them the space they need to fully express themselves. Then gently release them to Mother Gaia or the Universe so they can transmute them into something positive for humankind.
This lunation occurs in the 1st Decan of Leo, symbolizing it's time to shine! While we may feel uncomfortable under this spotlight, it's an opportune time to share what we desire with the world. Authenticity is a vital aspect to display in order to truly connect with others.
The minor arcana Tarot card associated with this decan is Five of Wands, symbolizing the "Lord of Strife". While this may seem a contradiction against the spotlight, it's not if you examine the ruler of this decan, Saturn.
While the spotlight of the Sun is obvious, Saturn, the greater malefic representing security, may have us nervous or even scared to be seen. The combination of the Sun and Saturn on this card is typically accompanied by a deep longing to be seen contrasted with anxiety that we won't be accepted for who we are.
"Strife" may also be interpreted as backstage events. Here fear is meant to be a catalyst to overcome our vulnerability and reveal who we truly are.
How many times have we worked hard on something only to freeze when it comes to pass. It's almost an unbelievable wonder and a healthy dose of stage fright. So, if you're experiencing this, know that it's normal for this placement - as a matter of fact, it's highly beneficial.
Jupiter bestows blessings on this decan; however, the combination of expansion ( Jupiter ) and the Sun ( Leo ), there is an opportunity for our ego to get the best of us through boastful and pompous expressions.
The keyword for navigating this phase is "humility" because of the tendency to act arrogant, thus lacking objectivity. This could produce the opposite of what we desire to achieve, especially in relationships with others.
Remaining grounded will ease any disheartened emotion we may feel when meeting challenges. Nature is the best medicine for connection; however, if that isn't possible you can create a natural atmosphere within your home by relaxing or meditating to nature sounds or even relaxing music.
