LunaGreyhawk said:Timely and wonderfully written as to impart the wisdom of the cosmos.  Thank you Ahavati - I took a screenshot to read again when I wake.  I wish you a wonderful holiday. I am grateful for this thread and for you, my friend ❤️

You're very welcome, Jenn. I am grateful for your support and contribution to this thread, my friend. Happiest of Thanksgivings to you and yours! ❤️

Even Wisdom Needs to Rest

Sometimes you are exposed to so much information, it overwhelms you.  You aren’t able to translate that knowledge into wisdom because you don't find time for integration.  Life is busy, and you may be used to moving through life's obstacle course at a fast pace.

You might even be at a time in your life when you're working so hard to achieve your goals, you think you're not allowed to take a break.  What if you missed something or let go of a responsibility? What would happen if you said no to something or someone?

Now is the time for releasing the badge of busy-busy. This a time for slowing down and integrating the knowledge you have gained.  You will not receive the wisdom of your past experiences if you don't pause and process.  Take your eyes off your to-do lists and goals.  Relax, knowing that resting is imperative to integrate the information you need to thrive.

Now is the time for dreaming, for down-time, for slowing your pace and taking things off your plate. Maybe take a vacation or, at the very least, schedule time to do nothing. It's an uncanny truth that the cycle of nonaction, not doing, resting, and dreaming can sometimes bring the most astounding revelations upon your return. Remember, even Wisdom needs to rest.

Here's some Thanksgiving fun!  You need to know your sun, moon, and rising signs!

Apparently I'm an intense boss who needs to stop people pleasing. Bwahahahaha! That was very true at one point; however, now I don't give a shit! Mission accomplished!

Aspecting the Cosmos: Friday, Nov 24, 2023: We would take a chance on someone we believed in. It's time to believe in and take a chance on our self!

Mars -> Sagittarius: inspiritualservice.com/planetary-transits

Early morning the Moon in Aries conjunct the North Node while opposing the South Node in Libra. This is going to produce fluctuating emotions and moodiness if we're unbalanced. Part of us that wants to step out of our comfort zone and take a chance on destiny! Yet, the other part is reserved and content within the safety or our patterns. Aries is very much present here in the Lunar and North Node positions. Draw on its strength and courage. We would take a chance on someone we believed in. It's time to believe in and take a chance on us!

Right after noon, the Moon square Pluto in Capricorn. The holidays are rough on many who are alone. Take care not to fall victim to self-pity or negative thoughts of hopelessness. If we can find the beginning in the ending, we can move forward in a more positive light. Changes are meant to transform us into better human beings, and they do when we learn to work with them instead of against them.

Early evening the Moon in Taurus oppose Pallas in Scorpio. Both Taurus and the Moon are domestic in nature, there's a polarity between domestic stability and an intense desire to socialize. Have fun. Be wild and creative; it's the holidays! Get out and see Christmas lights. Make eggnog and invite a friend over to share it. If you can't get out, invite others in! Stepping out of established habits and patterns requires belief in ourselves and what we want.

Mars entered Sagittarius @ 5:15 AM EDT, 2nd House, the natural home of Taurus ruled by Venus this morning.

This is a house of Values and Substance and reflects financial affairs, possessions ( except real estate ), investments, earning power, and any gain or loss through our own efforts. In indicates our inner talents and resources, our need for fulfillment, our emotional feelings, and our sense of self-worth and values. Since many people believe that liberty is largely a matter of money, this is the house of personal liberty. It is also the house of material debt.

Mars

Mars rules the Zodiac sign of Aries and Scorpio and represents action, aggressive urge, initiative, and energy. This planet deals with our animal nature, desire, and sexual energies. It reveals our ambition, competition, and death. It also governs surgery, war/operations, accidents, inflammation, and all types of injuries. In earlier times it was known as the lesser malefic. The action of this planet is sudden, self-assertive, and highly disruptive. Its energy can be used destructively or with courage and strength. Where you find Mars in your chart is where you expend the greatest energy.

Sagittarius

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.

“Don’t fence me in!” could be their motto.

Sagittarius strengths are Freedom-loving, broad mindedness, generous, optimistic, scholarly, and enthusiastic! Their extroverted nature can unintentionally hurt others who are more sensitive by being blunt and/or impatient. When imbalanced they can by pushy, argumentative, procrastinating and self-indulgent.

Mars in Sagittarius

Mars and Sagittarius can complement one another, especially in regard to desires and goals. Between the Archer's vision and Mars' energy, much can be accomplished in the way of forward movement. Sagittarius' optimistic enthusiasm can fan the flames of Mars' initiative nature. Both this planet and this sign detest grass growing beneath their feet ( unless imbalanced ). They like to be doing. Going too fast, however, can raise caution flags regarding accidents. Mars' self-assertions can be viewed as destructive if imposing upon freedom-loving Sagittarius, whose broadmindedness insists on justice. We all know the wheels of justice can turn slow and therefore require patience.

The God of War respects the Archer's straightforwardness, and the Archer admires Ares' courage, strength, and willingness to clear the path for constructive advancements. They will work very well together as long as they respect the other's boundaries to maintain balance. If one of these fire signs becomes pushy toward the other, things are going to become heated very quickly. Then we can expect arguments, impatience, hot-headedness, and taking unnecessary risks that may lead to injury or loss.

If we feel agitated, impatient, or aggressive during this transit, it's a signal that we're out of balance and need to recalibrate. Grounding, meditation, and honest evaluation of our actions and plans can adjust the scales in our favor.

Let Your Dreams be Woven True

Human beings often believe they create
their world through the power of determination and will alone. Hard work and effort, striving, ambition, focus, imagination, and desire are all worthy components of reality creation, but they are not the only ones. To truly be an empowered co-creator and work your magic in the world, you need to remember you are in a partnership with your Higher Power.  This is the metaphor of the Dream Weavers: It is a reminder that you are never alone. There are always divine forces at work on your behalf,  listening to the stories in your mind and heart and reflecting them in the outer world.

There is another message here about the strands in the fabric of reality that are constantly being woven. While there are things you cannot change or control, there are also the threads you choose to weave into this fabric of life, based on the electric force within you. You dance between surrender and creation, fueled by your inspired dreams and intentions.

Now is not the time for pushing harder but for allowing things to organically take their course. Do your part, taking your steps but surrendering the rest to the Divine. Remember your job is to know your why and hold space for the energy of your dream. In weaving the sacred essence of your desire, the "how" of it Will be revealed. Weave and let go, weave and release. Let your dreams be woven true and, like magic, things will seem to work out, even when you're not concentrating on the pattern.

(Card and message are from the Dream Weaver’s Oracle deck by Colette Baron-Reid.)

Aspecting the Cosmos, Sat, Nov 25, 2023:

There's a four planet stellium in Sagittarius: The Sun, Mars, Mercury; and Ceres. ( I know Ceres is a dwarf planet but it still counts. ) That's a lot of fire energy considered Yang, or masculine ( Aries, Leo, Sagittarius ).  It's also associated with transformation and action ( Phoenix, Scorpio = fire water ). This energy is perfect for evoking the self-confidence we need to take action toward what we really want.

The opportunity is prime; however, the aspects are going to present challenges to overcome. How badly do we want whatever it is we want?

Early morning the Moon in Taurus sesquiquadrate Lilith in Virgo. Karmic aspect ( and there will be two more of these today ). Emotional triggers and a deep wound/s. Something we'd rather stay buried. Work through it instead of avoiding it. The second happens right before lunch between Mars in Sagittarius and Chiron in Aries. Draw on the courage and strength of Aries to stay the course of this healing regardless of how badly we wish to distract ourselves.

Right after lunch, and less than an hour after the previous aspect, Mars square Saturn in Pisces. This is the peak of today's challenging energy. We still have Aries' strength; however, he's butting heads with the Teacher, Saturn. Frustration and limitations: one step forward two steps back. If we just believe in ourselves and keep moving forward, we will get to the other side.

Late afternoon the final sesquiquadrate occurs between Mercury in Sagittarius and Jupiter in Taurus. The challenge continues but not as extreme. Mercury is in the 8th house, the house death and rebirth. We may feel like we are dying, but we will be liberated from this cocoon if we utilize patience. Jupiter is stationed in the 1st house - New Beginnings and expansion are on their way.

Lastly, relief. Eleven minutes later, the Moon trine Juno in Virgo. The Moon in the 1st house reiterates new beginnings. Juno represents committed relationships, including the one with our self. Positioned in the fifth house portends creativity, romance, and fun. We should make certain we have some tonight! We've earned it!

How hard are we willing to work for it? "Anything worth having is worth working for."

Ceres followed Mars and Mercury into Sagittarius this morning, Sat, Nov 25 @ 12:12 AM, 4th House, the natural home of Cancer, ruled by the moon. This is a house of endings and security.

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 any to 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.

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.

Sagittarius:

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.

Sagittarius strengths are Freedom-loving, broad mindedness, generous, optimistic, scholarly, and enthusiastic! But don't attempt to fence them in!

Ceres in Sagittarius:

What else is a goddess to do when there's no children to look after or garden to tend? Why go adventuring, of course! And that is exactly what Sagittarius offers Ceres during this transit: The Spirit of Adventure! The Archer is a freedom-loving philosopher, enthusiastic scholar, and will have us adventuring not just outwardly, but inwardly too. We won't just exercise our physical body, but our intellect to boot.  

Pay attention and don't ignore any urges to know "more" about something, even if we feel it's out of our league: Philosophy, religion, metaphysics, politics, or any other issue that intrigues us. Now is an opportunity to expand our mind into uncharted territory. To familiarize ourselves with the mysterious unknown and experience the unlimited freedom of knowledge and the truths it offers.

It's also the perfect time to begin a study of something that has always interested us. Perhaps we want to change careers or start up some type of spiritual business involving reiki energy, oracle/tarot cards, or astrology! Take heed that we don't grow impatient with the learning process. The Archer is not known for his patience and can be quite the procrastinator.

As Andrew Carnegie once said, "Anything in life worth having is worth working for." And. . . "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." ~ Chapter 64 of the Tao te Ching

Aspecting the Cosmos: Sunday, November 26, 2023:

Ceres in Sagittarius: inspiritualservice.com/planetary-transits

Early morning the Moon in Taurus inconjunct Mercury in Sagittarius. With nothing related ( quality, element, active/passive ), it's difficult to integrate. Adjustments required are indicated by the planets and houses involved. Typically, health/work or finances are indicated here, so curb extravagant spending and eat healthy/exercise if possible.

Forty-five minutes later, Moon trine Lilith in Virgo. Peace with a shadow aspect. Perhaps we've stopped resisting and begun the integration process that leads to a more positive transformation as indicated by the previous aspect.

Midmorning the Moon sextile Neptune in Pisces. Heightened intuition and spiritual urges. Love of arts: Poetry, color, and dancing. We seek the ideal in fun, creativity, and stimulating conversation.  Less than ten minutes later, Venus inconjunct Uranus in Taurus. Relationship/Family issues require an attitude adjustment. What, or to whom can we be grateful for today if thrown for a loop over sudden and unexpected circumstances that would otherwise have us reeling?

Late afternoon Moon trine Pluto in Capricorn. Deep emotional connection with our interests. Intellectual discussions and pursuits. Ready for action coupled with energy of new beginnings.

Tonight, Mercury in Sagittarius trine North Node in Aries sextile South Node in Libra. Innate understanding our past while charting our destiny. We know what we have to do in order to move forward. Ten minutes later the Moon in Gemini oppose Mars in Sagittarius. Emotional exchanges. Stand our ground. Circumstances or resistance to our plans is beyond our control and require compromise to restore balance.

Weekly Tarot Reading, Nov 26 - Dec 02, 2023: XIII DEATH: The riddle of transformation and the inevitability of change. Something is ending, but beyond it lies the promise of renewal.

A tender figure cradling a skull stands in a translucent cocoon perched above a marshy swamp. A green serpent, potent symbol of transformation, weaves its scales around her body, calling to mind the staff of Asclepius, Ancient Greek God of healing and emblem of the medical profession. The subtle message in this imagery is that death and dissolution can be seen as a kind of medicine for the soul. The woman is in the process of metamorphosis, as evidenced in the flesh missing from her arms and chest, exposing the bones of her rib cage and still beating heart.

The death card in the Tarot rarely points to actual death. Rather, it is a card of renewal, as the as the death it hints at is usually metaphorical in nature. If, however, physical death is actually in question, this card invites us to take an honest look at the situation. The death card hearkens a time of change, loss, and the release of the old. However unsettling it may be, there is a unique beauty to it, a sense of lovingly shepherding something or someone from one realm to another.

The perpetual movement of creation and destruction is necessary in this world. By shedding what has expired, we open ourselves to the new. It is of note that her transformation is taking place within a cocoon. For what creature better knows the path of transformation than the Caterpillar? That journey is indeed fascinating, for rather than being an isolated moment, it is a continual process that unfolds through time.

The greatest transformation taking place within the chrysalis where the body of the Caterpillar is completely undone and reduced to an amorphous state of potentiality. The creature then experiences death to the form of itself it knew while the new body and identity of a butterfly. This formed with great effort and not without peril, the winged creature worked to free itself, and emerges triumph transformed. Transformation doesn't arise despite its ordeal, but rather because of it.

DIVINATORY MESSAGE: When the death card appears in a reading, something has reached its natural end. This could be in any area of life, a dead end job, a passionless relationship, one-sided friendship, a lifestyle or habit that has become unfulfilling or even dangerous, and so on. The death card asked you to take an honest look at what is within you or your life that is ending.

Perhaps there is something that has already ended but has not been released and must be submitted to the renewing cycle of death and rebirth. Meeting endings is an exhausting process when we fight against them. We would benefit tremendously from learning to face our grief and our unresolved pain as bravely as possible. Endings are painful and losses unavoidable, yet in moving through the fevers pain. And facing the unknown, we may then reach for a new life that awaits us on the other side.

Wisdom keepers say the universe of horrors of vacuum, and so it is understood that something new, perhaps even as unrecognizable as the butterfly to the Caterpillar, will eventually emerge in its place. Death is therefore not the end but a great teacher of transformation. Endlessly presenting us with opportunities for growth and change through its Riddle.

Full Moon in 04°GEMINI51' @ 4:17 AM ( EST ), 9th House, the natural home of Sagittarius and one of life and aspirations.

Happy Full Beaver Moon Blessings to all!

This Full Beaver moon gets its name for taking place during the time of fall when beavers seek refuge in their lodges, per the Farmers’ Almanac. In some Native American cultures, the moon’s November moniker comes from the time when tribes would set beaver traps to harvest their fur ahead of the frigid winter. Symbolically, it reflects the monumental shifts headed our way.

This Moon is located in a very active-versatile Gemini, so you can expect to feel chattier and more social. Additionally, because this lunation burgeons in the 9th House, the natural home of Sagittarius ruled by Jupiter, we can expect to reach for higher levels and more broadminded, philosophic thinking.
 
Full Moons represent release and manifestation, particularly of the intentions you set during the earlier New Moon of the cycle. It’s an expected full circle moment from the previous New Moon. That doesn't mean your goals have fully manifested during the month ( although they certainly could ). It signifies the release previously mentioned. In order for something new to enter, it must have room. This ritual of release prompts us to take inventory of our time blocking and how it's spent. We may be able to accomplish much more toward our aspirations by a simple arrangement of our calendar.

Because the Sun always opposes a Full Moon, awareness is required to maintain balance during the intensity of this, or any full lunation. Gemini's influence is expressive and quick-witted. However, when imbalanced we will experience a lack in concentration and become scatterbrained with a tendency to not follow through with our plans. Additionally, our attitude could shift into ungratefulness, restlessness ( lack of contentment ), or even scheming or insincerity.

( Make sure you check my 'Aspecting the Cosmos' report for the planetary aspects as well. )

If we recognize these lower-vibrational traits, then slowing down and breathing to ground bring us back to the moment where we can focus on only one thing: Being here and now. Scrying is also helpful. Anything that brings us to into a silence and stillness removes us from the energetic chaos. If you are not in a position for privacy, as many are not, escape to the bathroom for few minutes.

It does wonders to be aware and assume responsibility for our attitude and actions. It's also a sign of spiritual growth.

The time of preparation for the season of darkened cold is coming to a close. Soon we will nest in the shadows with time to contemplate a new year burgeoning with possibilities and lessons. Remember that real freedom comes when we actually get what we want versus being disappointed. Not all lessons are painful, some are learned through contentment when the mind can expand in peace rather than the yearning or worrying disappointment creates.

Here is wishing you each a beautiful ritual and a prosperous process of manifestation.

Aspecting the Cosmos: Mon, Nov 27, 2023: Don't take things or people for granted this evening. Avoid addictive substances and focus on gratitude and the hidden mysteries of the arts.

We only have two major applying aspects beginning this afternoon when the Sun in Sagittarius inconjunct Vesta in Cancer. Being overly exertive or ambitious could affect relations with others and dampen our inner flame/enthusiasm. Make certain our actions are honorable. Creativity and fun are always nice choices on the menu of life.

This evening Mercury in Sagittarius square Neptune in Pisces. A need for comfort and safety hesitates and prevents action. With Mercury in his detriment, expressing our true feelings may be challenging. Don't take things or people for granted this evening. Everyone likes to be appreciated. Avoid addictive substances to escape feelings and focus on gratitude and the hidden mysteries of the arts.

Bring it Into Form

Beautiful dreamer, you can imagine
wonderful worlds of light. You can dream up so many possibilities. Now it is time to bring those possibilities of light into the world. They need to be more than ideas. They need to live, to manifest. The world needs not only your dreams, beautiful as they are, but also your creations. Get thee to thy desk! Thy easel! Thy computer! Work, beautiful dreamer. Don't just dream, create!

You are being asked to honour yourself with a commitment to complete your inspired tasks. This will help you to grow and that is a wonderful reason to commit. But, there is another reason - you know that your inspired ideas are worth translating into practical forms so that other people can access them and experience something special, too.

If you have been thinking about writing a book, painting a picture or acting on an inspiration or idea, then this oracle is bringing you an unequivocal YES! Do it. Now. Don't dally or dither about the details or worry about how it is all going to work out. The universe loves a bold spirit. Once you take a step, it will rush toward you like an enthusiastic and chivalrous lover - opening doors, hand gently guiding at your lower back - as you are moved forward. You will promptly be provided with all that is needed to take the next step.

There is sacrifice inherent in translating the perfection of an idea into the limited physical form. Although something may be lost when turning a multi-dimensional concept of endless potential into something concrete, this oracle guides you to realise that there is much more to be gained. You must become free of this inspiration so that you can receive your next inspiration. It is already waiting for you. So, on you must go.

This oracle also confirms that the information you need to translate your ideas into form will be provided according to the higher wisdom of life. It may or may not happen by traditional routes. Even if it seems unimaginable, when it is time for something to be born into form, nothing can stop it. It will happen!

HEALING PROCESS
Relax and follow your breathing as it flows in and out. In your own time, imagine, sense or perceive that there is a beautiful light sparkling, twinkling, like a shining star. This light is within the centre of your heart.

What colour does it feel like? What energy does it have? What feeling or emotion?

Notice the star and let yourself feel it. If you are a more visual person, you may see colours or shapes. If you are more auditory, you may sense sound - words, pulsations, humming.

That star of light shines, burns and expands. It brings tingling energy into each of your fingers, all the way from your heart, down your arms, into the palms of the hands and radiating out through each fingertip. You can imagine rays of light, like rays of sunshine, emanating out of each finger.

The process then continues from your heart, all the way down through your body and through each leg, until the soles of your feet are filled with light, and it extends like rays out through the tip of each toe, fanning out like rays of sunshine.

When you feel that light has reached through your extremities say the following, "I am energised and empowered to bring my ideas to life. I release any fear that they won't live up to the perfection of my ideas or fantasies. I give them permission to become what they want to be, in service to life. In releasing these ideas into form, I open up to receive new ideas and inspirations.
I am helped with this process through unconditional love, for the greater good. So be it."

(Card and message are from the Sacred Rebels Oracle deck by Alana Fairchild)

Eris Rx conjunct North Node 24°ARIES19', oppose South Node 24LIBRA19' @ 1:12 PM ( EST ), 2nd/8th Houses respectively. Make sure to read today's Aspecting the Cosmos for Full Moon Energy accompanying this conjunction: inspiritualservice.com

Because Eris is a symbol of both strife and striving for justice among humanity, I use the analogy of cleaning out a closet when referring to Eris: Things are going to get a LOT messier before they get better. Whenever Eris enters the picture, she is here to do whatever it takes to get it done. After all, sometimes discord is required for accomplishment.

The position of Eris in our own natal charts reveals how we do or don't stand up for ourselves, why, and even how to combat negativity or destructive energies, including that of our own.  

If you'd like to read more about Eris Rx in Aries, you can do that here: inspiritualservice.com/celesial-events

In Aries, Eris is a force of change and innovation who inspires us to take action and initiate new beginnings. She also reminds us that we are not alone, but part of a collective that shares our vision and values. Conjunctions present connection and opportunity to tune into the essence of Eris energy.

The Nodes aren't planets. They're not even physical; they're visible shadows. Some refer to them as astrological or even mathematical points. They occur when the Moon is perfectly aligned with the Sun, moving from south to north. which are always directly opposite one another.

To become more intimate with the NN & SN: inspiritualservice.com/astrology-articles

You can associate the North Node ( NN ) with the 'Head of the Dragon', while the South Node ( SN ) the 'Tail of the Dragon', swooshing through our lives, dredging up sludge of old patterns and habits that no longer serve our greater good. Enter Eris, the force of change evicting us from our SN complacency toward our NN destiny.

I used the closet metaphor because in retrograde, Eris encourages self-introspection, backtracking and double-checking what may have been missed. It’s possible Eris could present a situation where we must stand up for ourselves, especially if we tend to keep the peace regardless of the cost ( as is customary with Libra ). Eris conjunct the NN in Aries can help lend support, courage, and strength, even though she DID create the situation!

Defend our heart's desires and that which we truly want against second-guesses and doubt. And, if we return to our SN roots ( and we will, often ), we will eventually recognize that it's our history, not future. The easy way won't fulfill us spiritually, even though it may feel a safe and familiar place. Our spirit will soon yearn for where we belong; that mountain we know we're destined to climb; that view we know we were meant to see from the day we were born.

If we don't make it in this life, then there's always the next. That's what lifetimes are: a succession of experiences under our belt.  

Friend, I am with you, and if your heart is heavy, I'll help carry it because I know you would carry mine for me. I am rooting for you to make that summit even if I don't, or we lose sight of one another along the small, winding trails, or in the darkness that will prevail in some haunted forest of our past.

But most importantly, I love you—each one of you—and look forward to celebrating the magnificence of view we are all afforded by that ultimate peak lying due north.  
Regardless of how many lifetimes it takes; my Spirit will recognize you.
