The Gathering Place ( Modalities of Divination )
Aspecting the Cosmos, Sat, Nov 18, 2023: Two MAJOR aspects coming in overnight tonight. Firstly, we have the Sun conjunct Mars in Scorpio, 3rd House. This perfects at 12:41 AM. the conjunction will remain within a few minutes until Nov 21st, when it begins to separate by degree. We can expect intense energy, initiative, and action toward our desires involving awareness and relationships and/or partnerships.
The second conjunction is the OOB Moon and Pluto in Capricorn, 4th House @ 3:27 AM. The Moon moves faster, so this conjunction will begin separating by degree @ 6:00 am; however, will remain a conjunction throughout the day, until around 4:00 PM EST. Fluctuating changes to our ambitions and desires. Some previous goals are ending to make room for new beginnings. There's an emphasis on security and the future.
Early morning OOB Moon in Capricorn will square Pallas in Libra. These two are anaretic degrees in their signs, which means they're both moving into new signs today. There's a feeling of need or urgency to complete something, whether a decision or project contrasted with a desire to take things slow and make sure we act wisely.
Midmorning Jupiter in Taurus trine Lilith in Virgo. There's a need for stability and substance. Inspiration and harmonious expansion is accompanied by grounded practicality.
Lastly, this evening OOB Moon in Aquarius square Jupiter in Taurus. Expect a social/group conscious expansion of imagination and a need for independence. Patience and conservative actions carry us through endings to new beginnings of our dreams.

Pallas, the goddess of Wisdom, War, and Craft enters Scorpio tomorrow, Sun, Nov 18 @ 4:01 AM EST, 2nd House, the natural home of Taurus ruled by the Venus.
Pallas Mythology & Spiritual Significance:
"Pallas is the goddess of wisdom, and she is also the goddess of self-defense. Pallas sprang fully formed and armed from the head of her father, the king of heaven. Pallas is also an artisan and is connected to the art of weaving.
"Pallas' symbol is the wise owl. She is in charge of defending herself and those important to her, and she creates objects of lasting beauty, through her love of fabric, and her skill with a needle and thread.
According to Lewellen,
"Pallas is never the aggressor; she never strikes first, but she defends herself and those she loves. She is in essence the warrior queen, and the philosopher. Her closest astrological sign seems to be Sagittarius, and the house she most resonates with would be the ninth, the sector in our charts that relates to our philosophical take on the world, since we are all philosophers, even if we are not aware of it.
"Anytime we come up with a reason or a theory as to why we want to live our lives a certain way, we are exercising our philosophical side. This is where Pallas comes in. When we have to defend ourselves and come up with a strategy to deal with office politics, or school or neighborhood or community cliques, this is where Pallas comes in. When we are attacked by others because of our political or religious beliefs, or our lifestyle choices, or for no reason at all besides someone's obscene desire to vilify and bully us, this is where Pallas comes in.
"We use our wisdom when we need to, and if we have to do battle against someone or something, the wiser we are, the more likely we are of achieving success. When we have to deal with someone we find difficult, if we can chart his or her day of birth, and locate where Pallas was for our rival, or our opponent, we can better understand who we are dealing with.
"Likewise, it is a positive thing for us to know where our own Pallas placement is, according to house and sign, so we can determine for ourselves how and in what way we process wisdom, and how and in what way we deal with conflict. The fact that Pallas does not take the part of the aggressor, or the bully should give us the encouraging knowledge that she can be trusted."
Scorpio:
As a fixed Water sign, a Scorpio's recuperative powers are remarkable. They are a truth seeker and have keen judgment and penetrating insight, and these qualities enable them to exercise a great deal of authority over others.
Willpower and persistence are their strong points, and although they are somewhat reticent, when prodded they can become outspoken and direct. They are determined, can be aggressive when threatened, and shrewd in matters of perception ( think human-Xray machine ). They are rarely passive or neutral about anything.
Scorpios are also known for being fiercely loyal, and they will always stand by those they care about – even if it means sacrificing themselves in the process.
When it comes to love, Scorpios are not afraid to go after what they want. They are often very intense and passionate lovers but can be a bit possessive at times.
Pallas in Scorpio transit:
As you can read from the descriptions above, Pallas is at home in Scorpio. This transit suggests an intense probing and perception that reaches the core of any issue or person. The key is practicing our intuition. When it comes to healing ourselves or others, this honed intuition can guide is to the source of the affliction rather than the symptoms.
Between Pallas' wisdom and Scorpio's X-ray vision, our creative intelligence becomes an archaeologist unearthing the hidden and unknown that we or others attempt to hide. This involves occult ( Scorpio ) wisdom ( Pallas ) revolving around the great mysteries of life involving death and reincarnation.
Pallas in Scorpio Natal:
If this natal position possessed a keyword, it would be intensity, as it infuses your lives with the intense wisdom of Pallas and the transformative energy of Scorpio. Neither are afraid of the depths of the human psyche, and their combined insight is powerful and profound. This energy exudes a sense of mysticism and magnetism, luring family, friends, and acquaintances to seek guidance from you.
To work with the energy of Pallas in Scorpio, it is imperative to sharpen your intuition and nurture a heartfelt discernment of others. This involves accepting not just your shadow side, but that of others. The challenges this will present are in reality opportunities for growth and transformation. Pallas is strategic by nature, and that innate ability is available to assist you navigate through a minefield of obstacles to solutions.
The downside to this position is balancing the power you possess with vulnerability. If you don't, there's a good chance that your power will become a shield against others. Vulnerability, on the other hand, permits true emotional connection and assists you to navigate around power-struggles and manipulation which fail to foster genuine relationships.
The best way to work with this energy is to respect others and be trustworthy. This is possible through the transformative energy of Scorpio, whose depths when vulnerable will develop and maintain authentic connections with others. Use both this transformative energy and the wisdom for yourself and the greater good of others.
I will be celebrating my Pallas return later this month, as my natal Pallas is in Scorpio. Where is your Pallas positioned?

Aspecting the Cosmos: Sun, Nov 19, 2023: When we rely on our innate strength, we can overcome circumstance through the courage of surrender.
Pallas - > Scorpio @ 4:01 AM EST, 2nd House: inspiritualservice.com/planetary-transits
Early morning the OOB Moon in Aquarius sextile OOB Mercury in Sagittarius. While OOB planets seem to have their own rhythm and are unpredictable, we can turn our focus to the signs and houses for clues. This energy portends an intellectual assessment to domestic matters of finances, security, possessions, and property. Christmas is on our mind! So is our budget!
Midmorning the OOB Moon sextile Chiron Rx in Aries. Once again, the same houses ( or settings ), 2 and 4 are prominent here. Possessions, security, values, freedom, and endings. Are we emotionally attached to materialistic possessions? Now is an opportunity to clutter-clear and release them so that fresh energy can enter. Ending an attachment of any kind brings a type of healing energy into our sacred space and lives.
Early evening the OOB Moon squares Uranus in Taurus. Sudden and unexpected circumstances or situations. We can choose to feel frustrated by limitations that can lead to our own self-undoing, or we can choose to find the hidden power of the 12th House ( Uranus is currently transiting ) innately within us and overcome circumstance by surrender. Surrender isn't weakness; it's courage. It's also liberating.

Weekly Tarot Card, Sun, Nov 19 - 25: ACE of WANDS: Spiritual Strength. An inspired new beginning.
Can you feel it? Something is brewing in that magical, mysterious pot that wise women, healers and witches of all times have used to concoct their charms and potions. Much like the contents of that cauldron, this card indicates that new things are brewing. Sailors and pilgrims know the feeling of new beginnings with the wind at their back when one's efforts are in tune with the flowing forces of nature. This is when artists create with inspiration. Athletes perform in the zone and religious field the movement of the divine. Breath and the hearts of lovers bubble over with passion.
The creativity of the ace of wands inspires us to harness inspiration, combine the most luscious ingredients from the pantry, and create magic with what lies dormant in our hearts and souls. This card brings the gift of enthusiastic beginnings, transformative energy, and deep spiritual desire. Here the passions are aroused and creativity is assured. The opportunity for a new way of life is at hand, along with the life force itself that makes us want to take action.
This energy could manifest itself in a creative project. Enterprise, invention, or even a birth. Someone once said that hell is your last day on Earth when you are given a vision of what you could have done compared with what you actually lived. This view speaks to unrealized potential. The gulf between what we are capable of and what we actually do.
Think of the magnitude magnificent artistic accomplishments of the Renaissance Michelangelo, da Vinci, Botticelli and Donatello. An unprecedented flow of creative genius. Why that time? That place. Surely the same potential that existed in their time exists in all times and ages. What then stops you from realizing your potential? From courting your genius or accomplishing the tasks that you were put on this earth for? What might you create when the power of the Muse moves your soul? What talents lay hidden in your heart, ready to burst forth? What do you dare dream up?
Think of all the great accomplishments that people have achieved. Mountains climbed, voyages taken, discoveries made. If those who understood these feats had known ahead of time just how difficult their tasks would have been, they'd have thought twice about beginning them.The act would have simply seemed too daunting. However, because they were led by their imagination and dreams, they accomplished considerably more than anyone thought possible.
Divinatory Message.
As the first card in the first suit of the Minor Arcana, the Ace of Wands represents a powerful new beginning. When it appears, ask yourself what lies unrealized within you. Likely, this new beginning is related to your already existing passions and interests, so take a look around your life and consider what new concoction you can prepare with the ingredients of your life. If that doesn't start the ball rolling, then notice what has a charge. What?
Notice what has a charge of curiosity for you. It could be a simple idea to learn about a particular subject in more depth, the desire to give yourself more creative time, or perhaps a yearning to deepen your spiritual practice. Whatever it is, follow that spark and see where it leads. There is an opportunity to realize the full potential within you from where you are currently are, and the moment to begin is now.

Aspecting the Cosmos: Mon, Nov 20, 2024: We can learn something important and discover the freedom in authentic expression if we have the courage to be open and vulnerable.
Early morning we're rising to a karmic influence of a sesquiquadrate between the Moon in Aquarius and Venus in Libra. It's important to use our voice. Our beliefs, our opinions matter and are needed in the world.
Midmorning Sun conj Ceres in Scorpio. When we use our voice, we are heard. Our avenue of expression is liberating and a means of healing. We are then ready to release and move forward. Within the hour, the Moon in Pisces conjunct Saturn in Pisces. A depth of awareness rises. We know who we are and who we can rely on. Work hard but have fun and give rise to whatever benefits us and humanity.
Late afternoon the Sun in Scorpio sextile Pluto in Capricorn. We can form deep connections in relationships by being authentic and vulnerable. Transformation and regeneration are on the horizon.
Early evening Moon in Pisces trine Vesta in Cancer. Compassion and understanding combined with devotion and action. Domestic focus.
Late tonight Saturn in Pisces trine Vesta in Cancer. There's a mutual understanding that something must end. How can we feel safe and secure while releasing? Sitting with sorrow or suffering. Allowing what is to be. Four minutes later Mercury trine Chiron. Communicating how we feel, even to ourselves, is a release. We have learned something important and discovered the freedom in authentic expression if we had the courage to be open and vulnerable.

When a Witch Must Drink Their Brew
There is no one like you, and your essence is brimming with life force and purpose unique to you. This is your magic elixir, so drink it down and cast off what doesn't serve you. Being fully yourself is what's required of you right now; nothing less will do. Yes, it takes courage to cast off the spell of society, with all its expectations, manipulations, and restrictions, to claim your true expression.
Do you worry about the consequences?
What if you won't fit in? These are times when a new world is being birthed. Your truest note in the symphony of life can only be played by you. This is how you serve the whole world, in harmony with others to create the sweetest music. This is a time for you to ask yourself what is truly authentic to you, what is in or out of alignment with your values.
Adjust your life where you need to, for this is a profound time to stand up, shine, and be seen. Drink in your magic, share it with the world, and be bold. When a Witch must drink their brew, they are at a profound moment to own their own magic—just like you. You were born for these times.

First Quarter Moon 27°50' Aquarius came in this morning @ 5:50 AM EST, 4th House, the natural home of Cancer ruled by the Moon. This is a house of endings and security highlighting our homes, family, and heritage. It also encompasses real estate and all that is hidden. Refer to today's "Aspecting the Cosmos" to view the planetary aspects surrounding this lunation.
While much attention has been given to the New and Full Moons, there is great significance in alternative phases as well. For example, the first quarter moon can be seen as a symbol of growth and planning. This is because the moon is burgeoning toward the fullness of her light. This is called the "yang" phase, a masculine reference which implies strength and determination to achieve the fullness of one's goals.
This phase aligns with the spring and autumn months, as both are a time of work and preparation to brave the heat of summer and cold of winter seasons. In this case, there's wood to chop, a home to winterize, winter gardens to planet, and so forth. It's also the holidays, and those require much preparation.
Amid the scurrying of work and fellowship of family, it's also an opportune time to re-evaluate the plan we've drafted in order to reach our goals. While this Lunar stage has already gone from new to waxing crescent, it 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. Be proud of how much we've accomplished and just double-check our headings ( and lists to ensure we've not overlooked anything ). Make sure our inward compass is pointed in the right direction. It would be shame if the needle wasn't magnetized, and we found our self-going in circles as so many do this time of year.
Regardless, the focus is growth and forward movement through the unknown phases of darkness until fully illuminated. This darkness could include doubts or fear; and those emotions/thoughts should be honored as they rise. The purpose here is to shine the light on them by giving them the space they need to express themselves prior to releasing them to transmute into something more positive for us and humankind.
Lastly, it's a season of letting go, and I think of Ceres, the archetype of Mother Gaia, who is now conjunct the Sun, having to release her daughter, Persephone, to Hades until Spring. We see this release in the leaves falling from their trees. We feel it in the coolness of the temperature. And we sense it in ourselves, that something must change within us, as is always the case in growth.
Using our voice is one means of liberation and healing, and typically precedes a depth of awareness within ourselves. We know who we are and who we can rely on. Work hard but have fun and give rise to whatever benefits us and humanity this season. We may not be aware that our actions are making a difference, but they are.
Just look at the moon. Regardless of the depth of darkness, it continues forward, inching light across every section of its orb until there is no darkness that can be seen. Harness the energy of this phase. Integrate it into our being and move forward on our chosen path, cultivating our path with each step.
Spring will appear in the blink of an eye!

Aspecting the Cosmos: Tue, Nov 21, 2023: Let go and have some creative fun this evening. Give the love you wish to receive, even if not returned immediately.
Midmorning the Moon in Pisces will inconjunct Venus in Libra @ 10:31 AM. There's a tension between awareness and belief and the need for harmony and balance. Sometimes we have to step out of our comfort zone to achieve what we truly want.
Just after noon, Moon sesquiquadrate Pallas in Scorpio. We need to locate the "tear in the structure" of a relationship to restore balance. The intense desire for Pallas' wisdom can quell the emotional Moon in Pisces so that reason can chart the necessary course for corrections. Steady as she goes.
Just after 2:00, Moon square Mercury in Sagittarius. We could face some challenges to progress as well as adequate expression. Try to be patient with delays or rescheduling and know that everything happens in divine timing. I have known delays to save lives.
Around 8:17 this evening, Mars in Scorpio sextile Pluto in Capricorn. this aspect brings reconciliation to differences through compromise. This includes any fears for safety and security within us. Let go and have some creative fun this evening. Give the love you wish to receive, even if it's not returned immediately.

Time to Feed the Hungry Heart
There are times when you work so hard and move so fast, juggling so many things and putting others first, that you don't remember to take care of yourself. When this happens, you start to feel burned out. You might resist this knowledge and force yourself through the exhaustion to prove you're a hero, to show how far you can push yourself. After all, it's impressive being the too busy one, the one who handles it all, isn't it? Well, the Universe is not impressed at all!
Did you know that the world will continue to spin if you take some time to take care of your-self? Do you remember what kinds of books or shows you love to explore for the sake of fun? You must build yourself up with stories of hope and redemption, love and goodness, triumph and truth if you want to write it into your own story. Maybe you need a hot bath and a good cry (or not), a hug from a pet, dancing for the sake of it, a walk where you don't bring your list of to-dos with you. You can accomplish so much more if you include rest, relaxation, fun, spending quality time with your loved ones, healthy food, and lots of self-love to your menu. It's time to feed your hungry heart. Feed it with love.

Sedna Rx back peddles into Taurus tomorrow, Nov 22, 2023 @ 2:50 PM EST, 2nd House. It will remain in Taurus until April 27, 2024, where it will move forward into Gemini until August 2067, when it enters Cancer.
Sedna is a dwarf planet known as the "Goddess of the Sea" or the "Asteroid of Abandonment". She assists in an introspective process that helps us to identify our greatest fear. Symbolizing abandonment issues, she can help you face the truth of yourself sans excuses.
It takes approximately 11,390 years to orbit the Sun. However, because its orbit is elliptical, the time spent in each sign differs.
Sedna's name originates from Inuit mythology because it is the coldest, most distant place known in our solar system. According to Inuit mythology, Sedna, Goddess of the Sea and Mistress of Marine Life, is thought to live at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean, one of the coldest and most unexplored areas on our planet.
Sedna is a prime example of spiritual evolution born from traumatic events such as betrayal, treachery, or abandonment that produced mental and emotional stress.
According to humanistic astrologer Alan Clay, "When a new solar system body is discovered, clues to the astrological meaning can be found by looking at a range of factors. But primarily, meaning comes from studying the planet in a large number of charts to find common themes. Here I'm going to present an overview of my research into the new outer-most planet in our solar system which I conducted for my new book Sedna Consciousness. Along the way we'll discover the evolutionary power of the "candidate dwarf planet" and learn of the profound implications for society as Sedna approaches her closest point to Earth later this century in the 2070s."
One such discovery that Clay linked to Sedna is the development of neural networks, the foundation of Artificial Intelligence. From the below article:
"Ray Kurzweil is a scientist, inventor and futurist, who made a series of predictions in the 1990s. All his predictions to date have been realised.
"By the 2030s, virtual reality will begin to feel 100% real. We will be able to upload our mind/consciousness by the end of the decade. By the 2040s, non-biological intelligence will be a billion times more capable than biological intelligence. Nanotech foglets (micro-robots – known as 'smart material') will be able to make food out of thin air and create any object in the physical world at a whim. By 2045, we will multiply our intelligence a billion-fold by linking wirelessly from our neocortex to a synthetic neocortex in the cloud." (From a 26 January 2015 article on singularityhub.com by Peter Diamandis.)
Sedna wants to be with her soul in joy and abundance, not treated as if useless, not disassociated from true Self, working her ass off, suffering…
Sedna in Taurus is all about stability, values, and dependability. It encompasses possessions and financial issues. Its shadow aspect represents global economic policy, censorship of information, massive wealth acquisition (read stealing and hoarding), and global influence, but also with occasional massive disadvantages for large numbers of people. It’s the massive chasm between having empathy and having none, because one ruthless party wants the $$$ equivalent from other’s life force energy or inheritance of wealth…
Sedna's higher expression is often those individuals who had been significantly disadvantaged by their policies, coming out the other end massively transformed by what could have felt like a near-death experience, or at least near-total collapse or loss, but perhaps having gained “everything” in return; for total release of an old life and outworn ego identity… Conscious… Aware… “I am that I am.”
The second house, the natural home of Taurus, represents financial affairs, possessions, investment, and earning power which leads to any gain or loss through our own efforts. There's a need for fulfillment in this house, our emotional feelings, sense of self-worth and values. Because many consider liberty is largely a matter of money, this is the house of personal liberty, but also material debt.
Now is the time to review our budgets and make solid plans for the stability of our financial future. Doing so in an honorable way can lead to personal fulfillment and a sense of self-worth that honors our values. There is a freedom in doing something right, even if it costs us something we value.
It's my hope and desire that we each discover that freedom during this retrograde.

Sedna Rx in Taurus: inspiritualservice.com/planetary-transits
At 8:00 AM a sesquiquadrate between Venus in Libra and Saturn in Pisces perfects. This is a Karmic opportunity to break a pattern of downplaying ourselves or sacrificing our own peace at any cost. Saturn is here to teach us how to use our voice. We can express ourselves succinctly while remaining in the safety of our boundaries.
Around 9:30 AM the Pisces Moon sextile Pluto in Capricorn. Opportunity for a new beginning presents itself through transformative endings. Is this the new us? Have we learned to use our voice in a nurturing but firm way that values our beliefs? Thirty minutes later, the Moon trine Mars in Scorpio. An awareness forms about our relationships. We use the courage and strength available to us to chart our course to a goal or dream.
Around 10:30 AM, Moon trine Ceres in Scorpio portending a nurturing love and compassion for our self and others, particularly a child. We have an intense desire and awareness to pursue a hope or wish. Fifteen minutes later, Venus opposes Chiron in Aries. Polarities can be joined through mutual compromise. A social urge and aspiration for life desires to expand while a wounded part of us hesitates. Reach for inner strength and courage to move forward to break the pattern of fear.
At 12:34 PM the Sun in Sagittarius trine Moon in Aries. Buoyancy and freedom-loving outlook bubble to the surface. We are emotional yet courageous and ready for action. This propels us toward our desires. At 2:51 PM Moon inconjunct Pallas in Scorpio. Our dynamic energy and zest for action needs to be tempered with strategic wisdom to avoid impulsive behavior.
This evening around 8:00 PM, Pluto sesquiquadrate Juno in Virgo. Personal ambitions may clash with a committed relationship. Our desires could feel hampered by responsibility, backing us into a corner of choice. If we've faced this before, we need to evaluate our feelings: Did we have regrets? If so, about relinquishing our desires, or pursuing what we wanted at the expense of a relationship? Weigh the balance—then decide on action that will break the dance cycle.

Modern: Turquoise or Blue Topaz
Zodiac: Topaz
As a mutable fire sign, Sagittarius is forthright. Typically, gregarious and enthusiastic, Archers espouse high principles such as universal love and world peace. Happy-go-lucky, honest, cheerful, and optimistic, at times they can be restless, careless, and extravagant.
Their tolerance allows them to work well with all people, and they accept most people for what they are. Their extroverted nature can unintentionally hurt others who are more sensitive by being blunt and/or impatient.
“Don’t fence me in!” could be their motto.
Sagittarius strengths are Freedom-loving, broad mindedness, generous, optimistic, scholarly, and enthusiastic!

When the Weavers Built the Sun
Legend has it that when the Dream Weavers built the Sun, they created a huge ball of fire so they could see all the miraculous things they wove into being. They needed Light, and more life-force energy to flood our world so life could grow and flourish. Their big dream didn't exist before they imagined what it could be. They made it up as they went along, with no plans to follow nor certainty about how to do it. They claimed it energetically and followed the prompts of the Conscious Universe, their partner. They made an impossible thing real.
Right now, you're in a similar place. You have a big dream, but you don't have the "how" yet. Sometimes you question whether it's even possible and wonder if it’s not meant to happen at all. Looking at the chaos in the world, you wonder if it's selfish to feel that you deserve any of your desires.
Do not give up on your dreams. Something unique that will serve the greater good wants you to call it to life. You were given this idea as a gift from the Divine, and it is your mission to forge a new path to bring it here. If you knew the "how" of it, it would mean that you're not dreaming big enough.
Whatever your dream, we need you to begin now. It's time to act! Hold the vision of success—but not too tight—and lean into this greatness, your greatness. Just think of how many you will touch by this action. Trust that you were made for this. Step forward and keep walking, one step at a time, and the Universe will open the doors one by one.

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate!
Aspecting the Cosmos: Thu, Nov 23, 2023: Warriors aren't always about war and destruction. They're also there to provide courage and strength to attain our dreams without giving up.
Early morning the Sun in Sagittarius sesquiquadrate Chiron in Aries. Today we are being asked to draw upon the strength and courage of Aries to cut through fear and stand up for ourselves. We inwardly know what we want: the freedom to be accepted as we are, and the ability to live an authentic life. However, there are times that fear of rejection and abandonment prevent us from using our voice or acting in a genuine manner that honors our spirit.
Today, face the fear and walk through it with solid action, if only but one step, or saying one word, "NO". Make sure the action comes from the core of Love.
Afternoon/early evening, Moon in Aries oppose Venus in Libra perfects. We can be domestic homebodies, but always desire progress toward our goals, wishes, and dreams. This afternoon, leading up to this perfection, we seek a balance between our private, emotional needs and social urge to be around others. This is part of the previous aspect and becoming authentic.
How can we compromise with ourselves and restore balance between the polarities?
