#AspectingtheCosmos, Friday, August 23, 2024: There is nothing more lovely than a mellow evening and soothing ambiance. Tonight is such.

Moon enters Taurus & Vesta enters Virgo: http://inspiritualservice.com/planetary-transits-2024

Early afternoon the Moon in Aries conjunct Eris in Aries inconjunct Pallas in Scorpio: With Eris shaking emotional foundations, discord is possible. Wisdom is readily available to us as well as an analytical atmosphere to get the ball rolling again by believing in ourselves and who we are.

This evening Venus in Virgo inconjunct Chiron Rx in Aries and the Moon in Aries square Pluto Rx in Aquarius: Enlist the help of a friend or close partner to help with an issue we're struggling with. Healing is possible through a relationship. Going at it alone may cause emotional upheaval in deep and dark places.

Late tonight the Sun in Virgo trine the Moon in Taurus: With both the Sun and Moon shining in their natural homes, there's a lovely flow of communication and comfort to this evening. Enjoy the atmosphere.

Moon enters Taurus this evening @ 8:01 PM EDT, 3rd House, the natural home of Gemini ruled by Mercury • V/c time: 8:44 AM - 8:00 PM EDT. This is a LONG lunar void-of-course time, so you may want to read up on the effects it may have on you.

V/C Moon: http://inspiritualservice.com/astrology-articles

The last lunar cycle I discussed the constellations and sub-ruling planets of each zodiac sign as the Moon transited them. This month I'm going to discuss polarities ( opposites ) and how to reconcile them.  

If you'd like to learn more about Taurus lunar transits and natal information, please visit http://inspiritualservice.com/the-moons-promenade

Each zodiac sign is born with a polarity that remains throughout their lives. Knowledge of this polarity and a subsequent balance between opposites can prove stabilizing regardless of what planetary aspect we may face on a daily basis. However, ignoring this polarity can appear devastating when facing a difficult aspect, such as a challenging square.  

In this case, the polarity for Taurus is Scorpio ( and yes, the resolution for the polarity is different - as you read when the Moon transited Scorpio earlier this month ).

Taurus are ruled by Venus, the Roman goddess of Love, beauty, and appreciation, particularly for the arts. In astrology, Venus' influence inclines toward a love of luxury and exceptional creative ability.

As a fixed Earth sign, Taurus are sensuous and sentimental. They may not give lavish gifts as tokens of affection because they are not carefree spenders, value is what you can expect for a hard-earned buck. They are willing to follow their hearts; however, may find it difficult to display their feelings openly, as they are very private and contained individuals.

As Taurus can be dogmatic, living with them isn't always easy. They do have a surplus of energy; however, don't expect them to use it when you want them to. They are more apt to put it to use when they decide to. Despite being shy and reserved with strangers, you can be a wonderful host or hostess and truly enjoy entertaining those they are fond of through good food and wine in a plush environment.

Taurus' natural home is the 2nd house, showing how we handle the possessions we hold dear. This includes money, objects, and the qualities we value in ourselves and others. This house also holds the side of us that takes care of what we have and what we buy for ourselves. It also reflects our self-esteem and sense of worth.

Conversely, Scorpio, Taurus' polar opposite, is the sign of endings and regeneration, legacies and shared wealth. The wealth of Scorpio natives tends to be spiritual rather than material, which they give to other sin the form of teaching, writing, and the healing arts.

So how do we reconcile these opposites in order to achieve balance? According to Stephen Forrest: Honesty, shadow-work, and courageous emotional investigation heal denial, lassitude, and materialism.

What this means is that to reconcile inner/outer polarity, Taurus should learn to relax more and not place so much emphasis on material possessions, but spiritual avenues of gratification. Ten minutes of meditation or deep introspection can bring much more pleasure in the long run than counting ( or re-counting ) assets ( once again ).

Yesterday we discussed the Cusps of Virgo. As the Sun makes its way through this Sun sign, we'll discuss the three decans.

First Decan of Virgo: August 22 thru September 01:

Mercury, known as the planet of intellect, rules and sub-rules your astrological sign, endowing you with a powerful mind. You tackle issues with logic, seeking to understand the causes behind events before devising improved systems. Your observations are frequently seen as prophetic, yet they stem from acute perceptiveness.

Your warm and witty personality attracts friends and admirers alike. However, you hold high standards, expecting intelligence and decorum from those you associate with. In matters of love, you are romantic and devoted, showing great sensitivity towards your partner. Beneath your exterior, a considerable amount of nervous energy simmers, leading you to worry in private and fuss over minor issues.

#AspectingtheCosmos, Saturday, Aug 24, 2024: When making changes to our lives, looking at the collective impact as well as long-term dividends in happiness rather than the current moment is priceless.  

Vesta enters Virgo: inspiritualservice.com/planetary-transits-2024

Midafternoon Mercury Rx in Leo sesquiquadrate Ceres Rx in Capricorn and Mars in Gemini sextile Chiron Rx in Aries: Opportunity for healing through communication ensuing a review of and an adjustment to our past and current patterns. Relaxing with others and letting our hair down for fun eases the tension of the process.

Late afternoon the Moon in Taurus trine Lilith Rx in Virgo: Emotional clarity brings focus, dedication, and commitment to a transformative decision which in turn pays off in the long run.

Note: Mercury retrograde in effect: http://inspiritualservice.com/celestial-events-2024

Vesta enters Virgo tonight @ 7:36 PM EDT, 8th House:

This evening, Vesta, the goddess and guardian of home and hearth, the eternal flame that keeps the household safe and warm, moves into the mutable Earth sign of Virgo, whose nature is analytical and practical.

Because Vesta represents the flame inside us, her placement in our natal charts allows us to understand our feelings toward our family and home. She is also considered the very inspiration that helps us survive a turbulent world by fanning that tiny little flame within us. That feeling of accomplishment and joy over attaining a desired goal is attributed to Vesta.

The 8th House is the natural home of Scorpio co-ruled by Mars and Pluto. This is a house of endings and regenerations, highlighting the support we receive from others, including financial, moral, spiritual, and physical. Legacies, trusts, wills, taxes and insurance matters fall within the walls of this abode, as well as secrets, sex, spiritual and physical regeneration, psychological rebirth and degeneration, and death.

Because Virgo is the Healer Archetype of the Zodiac, we may feel more supported throughout this transit. Also, whatever issues may arise with any of the above, Virgo's fact-finding and exacting mind can assist us navigating through the particulars of it.

Moon enters Gemini Sunday night @ 11:05 PM EDT, 2nd House, the natural home of Taurus ruled by Venus • V/c time: 9:40 PM - 11:04 PM EDT.

Each zodiac sign is born with a polarity that remains throughout their lives. Knowledge of this polarity and a subsequent balance between opposites can prove stabilizing regardless of what planetary aspect we may face on a daily basis. However, ignoring this polarity can appear devastating when facing a difficult aspect, such as a challenging square.

In this case, the polarity for #Gemini is #Sagittarius.

Geminis are ruled by #Mercury, known as the Messenger of the Gods, the Patron of short-distance travel, Merchants, health-related concerns, communication of all kinds, and is known as the trickster! Being he is currently retrograde, reading about the effects proves beneficial.

As a mutable air sign, Geminis are famous for their duality and love of new experiences. As a communicator, Mercury has the ability to traverse worlds and known to change their minds often. Geminis are often known as a jack-of-all trades but a master of none unless they truly apply themselves.

Geminis are known for two separate sides; thus, their personalities are changeable and fickle at times. Their curiosity is a wonderful attribute and remains childlike throughout their adult life. Infamous for discovering shortcuts, Gemini knows just when to apply that knowledge to further their goals.

Gemini's natural home is the 3rd house, which corresponds to our close environment such as hometown neighborhood. This house reveals the side of us that performs routine tasks without much conscious thought as well as our style of communication and general attitude toward short trips.

Because Gemini is so childlike at times, this house also represents our childhood, elementary education, and relationship with our siblings. They can often attach themselves to unhealthy situations, which lead them to become defensive, scatterbrained, scheming, lacking in concentration and follow through, ungrateful, and restless.

Conversely, Sagittarius, Gemini's opposite, is ruled by benevolent Jupiter and is the sign of higher education, philosophy, and long-distance travel. They are enthusiastic and easily bored with routine. This freedom-oriented sign is generous and optimistic to a fault, though they can be excessive and overindulgent.

So how do we reconcile these opposites in order to achieve balance? According to Stephen Forrest: Faith, belief, commitment and mind-stretching experience heal mind games, attachment to intellect, defensiveness, and belief in the myth of the objective, dispassionate observer.

This means is that to reconcile inner/outer polarity, Gemini should focus more on mind-expanding games than mind games in general. The former will expand their experience and intellect in a positive light while the latter locks the mind in a lower vibrational mentality that produces negative effects.

Note: Mercury retrograde in effect.

#AspectingtheCosmos, Sun, Aug 25, 2024 EDT: The infusion of fresh ideas often arrives by resting the mind from projects and tasks long enough to focus on something else, like our hopes and dreams.

Moon enters Gemini: inspiritualservice.com/planetary-transits-2024

Midmorning the Moon in Taurus square Mercury Rx in Leo sesquiquadrate Ceres Rx in Capricorn: Our methods of communication need to be evaluated. Pay particular attention to repetitive patterns. Avoid flippancy and pay particular heed to the undercurrent of energy to avoid potential conflict.

Midafternoon the Moon in Taurus trine Venus in Virgo and Venus in Virgo inconjunct Eris Rx in Aries at the exact same time: Paying particular attention to our work and health habits pays off in the long run. Maintain focus on the project or commitment at hand but don't become obsessed. Rest the mind on more pleasing things when needed.

Late afternoon the Moon in Taurus oppose Pallas in Scorpio: Thick emotions can be reconciled with a desire to cut loose by utilizing the wisdom available to us. Take a break and dream.

Early evening the Moon in Taurus conjunct Neptune in Taurus in the 4th: We can expect sudden change that may bring upsets in our domestic lives. Eccentric impulses may arise and sleep patterns may be interrupted and offset by boosts of energy contrasted with lethargy. Avoid overthinking and rely on instincts and patience instead. Conversely, epiphanies should be written down and followed up on.

Late tonight the Moon, now in Gemini, trine Pluto Rx in Aquarius: With the Moon's transit into Gemini, our emotional intuition may wane toward, light-heartedness, logic and reason. We may experience restlessness, but focusing on communication or catching up on correspondence can occupy our mind and keep us grounded in reality.

#CollectiveCasting Oracle Card of the Week: Sun, Aug 25 - 31, 2024: FAMILY

It's been quite the month, and the old saying, "Every journey leads you home" rings true in this weekly card. With the Moon in earthy Taurus followed by airy Gemini, watery Cancer, and ending in fiery Leo, we'll be experiencing all the elements of the zodiac.

Mercury Rx may have caused misunderstandings, particularly in close relationships; however, it stations direct Wednesday, so miscommunication and/or misunderstandings should begin to level out. Remember that Juno is occupying Libra - the asteroid of committed relationships, and affectionate Venus enters Libra Thursday, the sign of face-to-face relationships.

This week is all about close relationships. Family is defined in many ways. With Pluto, the harbinger of destruction, re-entering Capricorn the first of next week, getting our relationships in order is imperative. Whether this means having a heart-to-heart about how we feel, setting boundaries, or releasing certain individuals that may have a toxic effect on us.

All of the above sets the stage for moving forward. With the South Node currently in Libra, we need to draw strength from the North Node in Aries to use our voice not in a forceful manner but a firm and resolute one based in love and truth.

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

We welcome the Last Quarter OOB Moon 03°GEMINI38' occurs early tomorrow morning @ 5:26 AM, EDT, 11th House. The house of wishes, dreams, goals, and friendships! <3

We give a lot of credence to the New Moon and Full Moon phases; however, these two phases are not the only ones which affect us. The more we ingest the Moon and her cycles, the more her effects on our own inward tides make sense.

The Last Quarter Moon occurs around a week after the Full Moon. It only looks half-lit because we can't see the other side from Earth.

Scientifically, we are merely viewing the reflection of sunlight off the Moon. The amount of light we see changes throughout the month because of what is called "Lunar Phases" and a result of her trajectory and our visibility.  She is also Earth's only natural satellite.

Scientifically and astrologically, the Moon tangibly affects our moods in the same manner it affects all bodies of water on Earth, being our bodies are roughly 60% water, and our brains 90%.

Because the Moon's gravity creates high or low tides according to her phase, it's reasonable to assume that she affects us as well.

Digging through Science and Astrology uncovers Spirituality.

Symbolically, this phase pulls upon intuition, understanding, and letting go. When the tide pulls the ocean outward, the ocean releases the shore, and deposits what it can no longer carry back within itself. These deposits are enjoyed by shell collectors across the beach.

Therefore, we, too, need to release what we can no longer carry because it does not suit our greatest good. Imagine if the ocean resisted the gravitational pull of the Moon by attempting to retain all it was meant to leave behind? Consider what you are meant to leave as treasures for others to discover while you recharge into the deep waters of yourself.

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

Monday, August 26, 2024: There are two sides of a coin; the flipside is often resisted but should be investigated. Believing in ourselves and following our heart often means walking without others but is exactly what leads us home. The Universe has our back.

Last Quarter Moon in Gemini & Ceres Stations Direct in Capricorn: http://inspiritualservice.com/celestial-events-2024

Late morning the OOB Moon in Gemini sextile the North Node in Aries trine the South Node in Libra: While our emotions and intuition are unpredictable with the Moon OOB, there's still an opportunity to assess something in the methods we're using to obtain a goal. The smooth flow of lunar energy with the South Node can provide a gentle release of something we've been afraid to let go of.

Early afternoon the OOB Moon inconjunct Ceres Rx in Capricorn sextile Pallas in Scorpio: An honest evaluation of our cycles and techniques in regard to accomplishments will yield intuitive wisdom to course-correct toward a more hopeful and appreciative path toward our dreams. Now is the time for shortcuts but requires focus.

Early evening the OOB Moon in Gemini square Lilith Rx in Virgo: Often with new decisions comes resistance and potential self-doubt. If challenged remember who you are and stand firm in your convictions. Believe in yourself and follow the path of your heart.

Ceres stationed direct in Capricorn @ 3:39 AM EST in the 7th House, representing face-to-face and profound relationships.

Mythology:

The Roman Goddess Ceres' origins are in the Greek Goddess of the Earth, Demeter, who ruled agriculture, fertility, and had power over the cycles of life and death. She is known as the Archetype of Mother Earth, representing provision and nourishment.

The myth is a metaphor for nurturing and reflects how we care not just about others, but ourselves as well. Nurturing ourselves enables us to reach our full potential so that we may authentically nurture others.

The seasons are attributed to her because her daughter, Persephone, Goddess of Vegetation, was kidnapped by Hades to co-rule the Underworld, at which time Demeter refused to allow growth until she found her daughter.

The fields withered and humans starved so the Gods intervened. Hades was forced to return Persephone to Demeter by the Roman God Zeus ( Greek God Jupiter ), whereas they made a pact that Persephone, now Queen of the Underworld, would only spend half the year with her mother, and the other half with her husband.

Thus the seasons spring and autumn, representing receiving and letting go.

Ceres in Astrology:

While Ceres does point to our wellbeing and selfcare, its placement can also indicate past traumas, particularly childhood vulnerabilities and struggle. A well-placed Ceres would indicate a parent who is balanced, loving and nurturing whose children grow up to be independent and self-sufficient adults.

A poorly placed Ceres in your natal chart could indicate abandonment issues, bouts of melancholy, and eating disorders, and could indicate an over-bearing parent who attempts to control their children to the point that the children become co-dependent.

Capricorn:

As a Cardinal sign, Capricorn is ambitious, serious, and dedicates to duty. Life can seem difficult, but ultimately Capricorns triumph. They are self-disciplined, responsible and practical, at and at times wallow in self-pity.

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.

They are socially oriented and willing to work hard for anything they want. Their self-esteem is extremely important to them.

Ceres in Capricorn:

This is a marriage between the asteroid of nurturing, Ceres, with the ambitious and goal-oriented sign of Capricorn that can be a potent and positive force. It signifies a determination to succeed combined with dedication and hard work to accomplish that success.

Despite feeling highly motivated and driven, we must guard against an imbalance between a healthy work ethic and our personal lives. Learning to say, "No", particularly in this placement, is imperative to maintain a balance between business and our private lives.

Responsibility is strengthened in this transit, with a serious outlook on commitment to completing a task in a timely manner. When balanced, we know when to stop rather than push ourselves beyond our limit and won't succumb to the expectations of others.

If your natal Ceres is in Capricorn, the realization that delays or bumps in the road are a part of life are necessary or you may have a tendency to just give up or sink into self-pity.

This is a clear sign of imbalance. You must keep going no matter what, because goals are attainable with dedication and hard work. Especially in this placement.

With Ceres stationing direct, and the OOB Moon inconjunct her around noon today, an honest evaluation of our cycles and techniques in regard to accomplishments will yield intuitive wisdom to course-correct toward a more hopeful and appreciative path toward our dreams.

Nurturing self is not selfish. On the contrary, a nurtured self has the capacity to nurture everyone else.

#AspectingtheCosmos, Tue, August 27, 2024, EDT: The noise of friendships and social gatherings can be pleasant; however, equally important is the solitude required to hear the still small voice of direction.

Hygieia stations retrograde in Taurus: http://inspiritualservice.com/celestial-events-2024

Overnight Venus in Virgo trine Uranus in Taurus: The path to our dreams, hopes, and wishes are through a higher vibration of deep appreciation for what we currently have. Express gratitude and give thanks for all that is.

Early morning the OOB Moon in Gemini conjunct Jupiter in Gemini: This energy opens a portal of liberation and accomplishment through commitment and hard work. Focus on the tasks at hand and allow actions to be honorable.

Early afternoon the OOB Moon sextile Mercury Rx in Leo: An old project could be regenerated by rerouting the course of its development. Avoid being flippant at new ideas and/or suggestions. Be open to new avenues of ideas and suggestions that can benefit our goal.  

Late afternoon the OOB Moon in Gemini sextile Chiron Rx in Aries: Healing comes in many forms, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Avoid overindulgence or headiness by openly re-evaluating work and health habits compared to our past. There's an emotional freedom here that's not weighty in regard to discovery.

Tonight, the OOB Moon in Gemini conjunct Mars in Gemini in the 4th: With the OOB lunar aspect, we feel lighter and more secure in our actions. Spending time alone with domestic beautification and/or selfcare elevates our desire to move forward with plans. The initiative, power, and courage is there for the taking.

Note: Mercury Retrograde & Moon OOB in effect

Hygieia stations retrograde in Taurus @ 2:05 PM, EDT, 1st House, the home of Aries ruled by Mars.

I began studying Hygieia back in March, when she entered Aries.

Known as a Greek goddess of health, cleanliness and hygiene, her name is the source for the word "hygiene".  As the daughter of Asclepius, the god of medicine, she is also associated with medicine and healing.

A reference to Hygieia as a goddess of health appears in the Hippocratic oath. This oath requires physicians to swear by different healing gods, including Hygieia, that they will adhere to a set of ethical principles of practice.

A human-sized statue of Hygieia, the goddess of health, was unearthed by archaeologists from Dumlupınar University in August 2021. The statue, which depicts Hygieia holding a snake in her arms, was found in the columned gallery along the south wing of the agora in the ancient Greek city of Aizanoi.

Hygieia embodies health through the harmony of body and soul, heart and mind, and the balance between external success and internal tranquility.

Neglecting one for the other can lead to discomfort in one's disposition, potentially resulting in physical symptoms, mental distress, or emotional suffering.

When Hygeia entered Aries back in March, it heralded a potent new period that could inspire positive health and healing transformations.

When she entered Taurus in July, a more grounded and centered perspective involving our central surroundings, possessions, finances, and family came into view.

It was an opportunity to adopt healthier habits in health and spending involving our direct environment.  

But what does it mean when Hygeia stations retrograde in an earthy sign. Well, let's look at the environment the station is taking place: the First House - the natural home of Aries ruled by Mars

This house represents new beginnings, cycles, and marks the start of the astrological new year. It also represents our rising sign.

When in retrograde, we want to slow down and re-evaluate our current objectives and goals, plus take inventory of our progression. Resist acting on impulsive decisions without weighing the consequences.

We should evaluate our relationships too, as negative influences could impact the outcome of our goals. Taurus is patient and likes to evaluate all sides of an issue before making a decision.

Individuals and organizations can re-evaluate or and consider health initiatives for their employees. It's a proven fact that the more balanced and healthier employees feel the better the attendance record as well as quality of the work.

Instead of acting hastily and without balance, this retrograde encourages us to be proactive regarding our personal health and well-being, as well as the environments that affect us directly.

We can use this time to make beneficial changes in our lifestyles and support a healthier society through our own example.
