The Gathering Place ( Modalities of Divination )

OMG that was the most amazing experience. I feel like I just woke up and am ready to work rather than fatigued as I typically do this time of the day. I can't believe how long it lasted! We saw 85-90% coverage here! It looked like the thumbnail of God with the sun instead of the Moon.

Cell phone shot with ecliptic lens before I closed my eyes and absorbed the energy for about an hour!

Moon just entered Taurus this morning @ 7:24 AM, EDT, 2nd House, the natural home of Taurus ruled by Venus. V/c Moon: 10:39 PM ( 8th ) - 7:23 AM ( 9th ). This brings a much-welcomed and grounding from yesterday's fiery energy.

Taurus is uncomplicated and focuses on the desire to sate its sensualities. We want a comfortable and safe home, to feel fulfilled from a satisfying meal, and money in the bank to take care of our needs. Everyone wants most of these things daily; however, these desires are amplified and magnetic while the Moon transits Taurus.

The goddess associated with Taurus is Venus ( Aphrodite ). Venus is a Roman goddess whose functions encompass love, beauty, desire, fertility, prosperity, and victory. In Roman mythology, she was the ancestor of the Roman people through her son, Aeneas, who survived the fall of Troy and fled to Italy. Julius Caesar claimed her as his ancestor. Venus was central to many religious festivals, and was revered in Roman religion under numerous cult titles.

The Romans adapted the myths and iconography of her Greek counterpart Aphrodite for Roman art and Latin literature. In the later classical tradition of the West, Venus became one of the most widely referenced deities of Greco-Roman mythology as the embodiment of love and sexuality. She is usually depicted nude in paintings.

In astrology, Venus is the embodiment of socialization, a sense of value, and affection. She rules art, culture, aesthetics, charm, good taste, and harmony among many other traits and material possessions. Where Venus lies in your chart shows what you really enjoy.

For those interested.

We as humans are contradictory. If we can understand and forgive a feral animal for biting when it feels threatened because that's its nature, then we can understand and forgive ourselves and others for the same. We are one of nature's creations and are not separated from it.

This is the veil being lifted from the wound and an opportunity for evolution through change—a Saturnia lesson, one we'll never forget and will be less likely to repeat.

OOB Moon enters Gemini @ 9:00 AM, EDT, 1st house, the natural home of Aries ruled by Mars. V/c Moon: 6:04 AM - 8:59 AM.

OOB Moon: http://inspiritualservice.com/astrology-articles

Gemini is playful and witty but does have the ability to focus and get things done when it calls on its higher power. The caveat is being influenced by outside forces that vie for our attention; thus, distracting us from the task at hand.

Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the Messenger of the Gods and protector of travelers; therefore, day trips are favored. We may find our minds are able to come up with shortcuts that can resolve our obligations in a more expedient manner. Unless, of course, we become too scatterbrained and fickle about what we really want.

Mercury also serves as the patron of shopkeepers, merchants, commerce, as well as thieves and tricksters. He is frequently equated with the Greek deity Hermes, known for his swift footedness as the messenger of the gods.

Mercury was linked to Maia, who was identified as his mother due to her association with the Greek Maia. The Greek Maia, a member of the Pleiades, was the mother of Hermes through Zeus. Similarly, Mercury was regarded as the son of Jupiter because of this Greek connection.

Late morning the OOB Moon in Gemini square Saturn in Pisces: Unpredictable emotions and clashes. Unlimited freedom vs structure and caution. Compromise builds steps.

Early afternoon the OOB Moon sextile the North Node in Aries trine the South Node in Libra square Mars in Pisces: Releasing something that holds us back, a person, situation, or even emotion such as fear, doubt, or insecurity ensures steps toward our future.

Midafternoon the OOB Moon sesquiquadrate Pluto in Aquarius: Karmic pattern surrounding destructive emotions. Guarding our thoughts transforms out life.

This evening the OOB Moon inconjunct Ceres in Capricorn trine Chiron in Aries: Adjust rigid schedules or worry and replace them with light-hearted fun. The evening is perfect for nurturing ourselves and those we care about with things that make us happy.

With Mercury in retrograde, we're in the cusp of retrograde season. It really kicks off early next month when Pluto turns retrograde. Be prepared.

Late morning the Moon in Gemini square Neptune in Pisces: Emotional discord and a desire to escape a situation will find it waiting for us wherever we go. Find our footing and reach for the higher thought to rise above so we can learn the lesson.

Late afternoon the Moon in Cancer inconjunct Pluto in Aquarius:  While our intuitive nature enjoys dreaming about our goals, wishes, and hopes, an adjustment from dreaming to analyzing and planning will take us further. Strategic reformation.

AaronBraveHeart said:How does retrograde affect love and how should we approach chances for new relationship that are fluctuating now?

Hi, Boyana. That's a great question and the answer is multi-faceted and dependent upon which planet is in rx and the dynamics of the relationship. I can tell you with Mercury in Rx it's not advisable to start a relationship because the foundation of any relationship is based on open and honest communication.

Mercury is the planet associated with communication and technology; thus, when retrograde, there will be potential communication mishaps. Particularly at the onset of a relationship in the digital arena because discourse relies on electronics to establish a foundation.

I read an article recently that cited over 50% of couples meet one another through technology, whether on social platforms such as facebook, websites such as DU ;), or dating apps. Our communication is wholly dependent on technology. When Mercury is rx, misunderstandings regarding meanings and intentions of what the other means can lead an otherwise promising relationship down a dead-end road.

Mercury rx is viewed as a period for revisiting the past. Whether it's reviewing a mistake or a situation from a new perspective. Somewhere above is the post about Mercury Rx, or you can read it here: http://inspiritualservice.com/celestial-events-2024

Oh, and beware of ex's showing back up trying to restart the relationship, which is notorious for Mercury Rx. What happens is during the review period, we tend to want to correct a mistake, but our lesson here is to learn from our mistakes. A reunion now will most likely end not long after Mercury stations direct and passes it's post-rx shadow period, which lasts roughly a week.

Pluto Rx will be a completely different matter. Stay tuned for that!

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the guidance! I will be careful then.

Moon enters Cancer @1:46 PM EDT, 12th House, the natural home of Pisces ruled by Neptune. Void of Course Moon: 10:46-1:45 PM

The Moon is dignified in Cardinal Cancer, who is intuitive, sensitive, and maternal! Ruled by this Luminary, Cancer stimulates emotional rapport between others.

Entering Cancer on a Saturday, ruled by Saturn, indicates a day of longevity, exorcism, endings, homes, and houses. The atmosphere of the 12th house is also one of limitations, frustrations, endings, and self-undoing.

Discovering our hidden strength in this house is a sign of spiritual evolution.

The Goddess associated with Cancer is Artemis, Goddess Of The Moon And Wilderness! In Greek religion, she is the goddess of wild animals, the hunt, vegetation, chastity, and childbirth; she was identified by the Romans as Diana.

Artemis was the daughter of Zeus and Leto and the twin sister of Apollo. Among the rural populace, Artemis was the favourite goddess. Her character and function varied greatly from place to place, but, apparently, behind all forms lay the goddess of wild nature, who danced, usually accompanied by nymphs, in mountains, forests, and marshes.

Artemis embodied the sportsman’s ideal, so besides killing game she also protected it, especially the young; this was the Homeric significance of the title Mistress of Animals.
