Sedna re-enters Gemini early tomorrow morning ( Saturday ) @ 7:35 AM EDT, 2nd House, the natural home of Taurus ruled by Venus, a house of value and substance.
After a retrograde back into Taurus, Sedna moves permanently into Gemini until August 2067, when it will enter Cancer. This transit heralds the Rise of AI.
Sedna is a dwarf planet known as the "Goddess of the Sea" or the "Asteroid of Abandonment", she also encompasses. 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.
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.
She takes approximately 11,390 years to orbit the Sun. However, because her orbit is elliptical, the time spent in each sign differs.
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."
In the below article, Clay outlines orbital characteristics, past cycles that include the Neolithic revolution, Sedna in the signs, including predictions for Gemini - the rise of Artificial Intelligence.
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.
So here are some for this Gemini period:
"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.)
"We see that Sedna in Gemini is going to be all about the rise of Artificial Intelligence which will inevitably promote a consciousness revolution. And a consciousness revolution is a spiritual revolution."
One thing we can look forward to next month is the Conjunction between Jupiter and Sedna in Gemini on May 27!

Moon enters Libra tonight @ 11:09 PM EDT • V/c Moon 8:20 - 11:08 PM EDT
Cardinal Librans are cooperative, compassionate, peace-loving, and judicial. This lunation is all about face-to-face relationships and/or partnerships.
Libra enjoys restoring balance; however, care should be taken as to how to go about setting the scales right, as superiority or insensitivity could produce more imbalance.
In general, this transit combines a congenial nature with friendly fellowships. We are at our most social and cooperate state, which makes us prone to compromise.
Also ruled by Venus, Libra loves to shop for a decorate their home; therefore, we, too, may feel the urge to beautify our surroundings or surround ourselves with the beauty of an art gallery, coastal or scenic visit to the mountains.
The Archangels associated with Libra Archangels Jophiel and Hagiel, bestowing the qualities of beauty, joy, harmony, and diplomacy.
Archangel Jophiel is the angel of beauty and wisdom. Though angels do not have actual physical genders, Archangel Jophiel is usually represented with feminine traits.
As the angel of beauty and wisdom, Archangel Jophiel is the patron of artists and artistic illumination. John Milton in Paradise Lost referred to Jophiel as the ‘cherubim with the swiftest wing.’
The speed of Jophiel’s flight refers to the high vibrational energy at which Jophiel operates in our lives.
Archangel Haniel rules over the planet Venus, the star sign of Libra and Friday, and is the angel of joy, who usually appears in female form in the material world.
Her name means the ‘Joy of God,’ or the ‘Grace of God.’ She is also known as the archangel of divine communication.
Archangel Haniel acts as a direct conduit between our lower human energy and the higher energy states of the celestial realms.
Libra seeks to weigh things up and come to an impartial judgement, not ruled by emotions and Librans seek to always balance the body and soul, mind and spirit.
Those born under the sign of Libra are known to be diplomatic, lovers of harmony needing a stable, balanced environment. Librans are known for their logic and diplomacy.
Librans can see both sides of an issue, but can have difficulty making decisions. Librans like to constantly circulate and love to socialize. Their energy is one of cultivated refinement and charm.

Moon enters Aries early tomorrow morning @ 7:26 AM EDT, 10th House. V/c Moon: 4:27 AM - 7:25 AM
This is a bold, impulsive, and energetic transit. Don't be surprised if you feel out of your element. This transit portends that even the meekest of us won't hesitate to take a stand.
This lunar visit is great for starting things; however, may lack the willpower to complete them. Take care not to become too argumentative or assertive.
Ares, the deity linked with Aries, was recognized by the Romans as the god of war and by the Greeks as the embodiment of combat. In contrast to Mars, his Roman equivalent, Ares was not widely venerated and his cult was limited in Greece. He epitomized the unpleasant realities of savage combat and carnage.
In astrology, Aries is venerated for his strength and courage, he initiates the path for us to achieve our dreams. Imbued with fiery energy, he approaches everything with a passion unmatched by other signs. Where he is located in your chart is where you expend the greatest energy.

Venus enters Aries overnight @ 12:01 AM, 5th House, the natural home of Leo ruled by the Sun.
Venus is in her detriment in Aries; therefore, her influence will assume more of the sign's, in this case, Aries' coloration.
This is not a negative thing, except that Mercury is currently Rx in Aries thru the morning of April 25th, so miscommunication can easily break down.
The fifth house represents our playful side, which emerges only after work is completed and it's time for entertainment and celebration.
It embodies the charming, creative, and delightful aspects of our personality, where we discover our hobbies, interests, and companions for leisure activities.
Joy is encapsulated here, and the fifth house radiates when we engage in creativity, allowing us to recognize a fragment of ourselves within our creations, ranging from the smile of our child to a work of art.
This house is also traditionally associated with speculation, something strongly cautioned against during Mercury Rx. Make sure we gather all the facts of the situation before making a decision.
The transit of Venus typically signifies a period when the cosmos bestows upon us a modest gift of warmth or affection, as well as a well-earned respite.
These times are often sociable and amiable, where we engage in more mingling than usual and show greater interest in fine dining and comfortable surroundings over anything that resembles work.
During the span of this transit ( four months ) Venus will traverse approximately one degree every two days. This gradual transition will allow us to observe subtle changes in our sentiments regarding love and romance.
With Mercury Rx until the 25th of April, we're strongly encouraged to slow down, so it's the perfect opportunity to heed these changes.
Aries' energy motivates us to embrace boldness and creativity in matters of love; however, Mercury Rx cautions us against impulsiveness or starting a new relationship through the 25 of April.
We can, however, express our desires for a relationship more openly. While Mercury Rx also cautions against re-igniting old flames, those of us currently in romantic partnerships are urged to reconcile after minor disputes or misunderstandings, as this would foster a trust that endures a lifetime.
This transit may either be a blessing or a curse, and with Mercury in Rx, it can easily prove to be the latter.
There could be more dramatic energy manifesting itself as possessiveness, jealousy, and even obsessiveness. This is why overtly flirtatious behavior and/or excessive socializing as per Venus' nature can easily trigger a partner.
On the other hand, if we pay close attention to any red flags of our behavior, this transit heralds an exhilarating period characterized by vibrant passion and a zest for adventure.
While it would typically favor travel, communication, and pioneering new projects, Mercury in Rx cautions against these, at least through the 25 of April ( I know I keep repeating this date but feel it's necessary ).
Aries embodies energy and action combined with courage, and Venus represents affection, socializing, and a sense of value. Therefore, this transit lends the confidence necessary for new adventures or romantic relationships, but the wherewithal to review our current situation and the nuances of change now presenting themselves through Mercury's retrograde.
Afterall, the benefits of slowing down and evaluation will become more apparent throughout the following months, when this transit is full steam ahead without the shadow of Mercury Rx!

Vesta re-enters Cancer early tomorrow morning @ 6:57 AM, 4th House, the natural home of Cancer ruled by the Moon.
Vesta, the goddess and guardian of home and hearth, the eternal flame that keeps the household safe and warm, re-enters Cardinal Cancer, whose maternal nature is devoted to home, family, and domesticity. This is the second favorable transit of the day.
Because Vesta represents the flame inside us, her placement in our natal charts allows us to understand our feelings toward our family and home.
Vesta 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.
Ruled by the Moon, the Fourth House is the natural domain of Cancer. It represents our sense of security and finality, as well as our homes, parents, origins, and the homes we will create. This house also covers our legacy, genetics and ancestry, our psychological foundations and personal lives.
This atmosphere emphasizes property, especially houses and other secluded places. This is the house of endings, where the final years of life, the conclusion of all affairs, posthumous fame and the burial site are shown.
Vesta is NOT a goddess to look toward in our quest for love. She was devoted to the eternal flame that allowed Rome to exist—a metaphor often associated with self. Vesta in the Fifth House, ruled by the Sun, highlights our individual expression with fortifying and vitalizing action.
She represents our personal space and identity in our charts. She is the inner flame that helps us endure any hardship and maintain our hope in the darkest times. She is also the light that inspires us and lets us enjoy our lives and our achievements.
By exploring the astrological goddesses of wisdom, connection and self-actualization, we can discover our true selves and make wiser decisions for our lives.
I wish you much joy and success throughout this transit! May your flame burn bright, resulting in beautiful creativity.

Hygieia enters Aries @ 10:36 AM, EST, 11th House, the natural home of Aquarius ruled by Uranus, the awakener and freedom urge.

Hygieia enters Aries @ 10:36 AM, EST, 11th House, the natural home of Aquarius ruled by Uranus, the awakener and freedom urge.
While mentioning specific aspects it's made in previous weeks, Hygieia isn't an asteroid I've discussed in-depth. I've just begun incorporating her into my knowledge and work, having educated myself about her predecessors.
Hygieia is a goddess of health, cleanliness and hygiene. Her name is the source for the word "hygiene".
Hygieia is a Greek goddess associated with medicine and healing. She is the daughter of Asclepius, the god of medicine and a son of Apollo, the Olympian god of light and music.
Hygieia has four sisters who also represent aspects of Apollo's art of healing: Panacea (the universal cure), Laso (the recovery from illness), Aceso (the healing process), and Aegle (the glowing health).
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.
Hygeia in Aries is a potent astrological combination that can inspire positive health and healing transformations. Aries is a sign of action and initiative. People are more likely to take control of their health and wellbeing when Hygeia is in Aries. This can be an opportunity to adopt healthier habits, such as exercising regularly or eating better.
Hygeia motivates us to start a new exercise regimen, consume healthier meals, or acquire a new skill in sports, while Aries provides the dynamic energy. If we've been considering a new health regime, now is the perfect time to implement it.
All good things have their cautious sides, and this transit is no different. Take care that pursuing better health can sometimes lead to impulsive or aggressive actions that may do more harm than good.
Individuals and organizations should plan and consider their health initiatives carefully, instead of acting hastily and without balance, especially as Aries is impulsive and often impatient for results.
This transit encourages us to be proactive and confident toward our health and well-being, not just on a personal level, but a collective level as well. We can use this time to make beneficial changes in our lifestyles and support a healthier society through our own example.
If this is your natal chart placement, then you are more than likely a take-charge person when it comes to your own health and well-being. You also value independence and self-reliance and may prefer homeopathic remedies of healing rather than conventional medicine.
However, you also need to guard against a tendency to be impulsive and take risks when it comes to your health, as this can lead to injuries or accidents. It is important for you to find a balance between being proactive and taking necessary precautions to avoid unnecessary harm.

Mars enters Pisces tomorrow evening @ 8:05 PM, 6th House, the natural home of Virgo ruled by Mercury. In this atmosphere work and health are linked together, and our analytical as well as planning abilities become focused.
I've always felt that Mars in Pisces was like placing a Warrior into a harem and expecting them to behave. It's not going happen! However, what happens will hopefully be a gentler action than Mars' accustomed impulsive aggression. Afterall, we are influenced by our environment so we can hope!
Mars transiting Pisces can portend a highly creative energy filled with a more selfless approach than Mars' aggression. Or it can bring a volatile energy in regard to escapism ( by force if necessary ) and self-sabotage.
Depending on where we each are in our personal development, this transit will be a blessed transformation or a cursed undoing.
Neptune rules Pisces and is known for inspiration, spiritual movement, dreams, and elegance. This energy encompasses maritime matters, liquids, music, movies, stage and television, glamour, dreams, illusion, delusion, spirituality, ideals and the things we take deeply for granted in our life without questioning.
Neptune's action is subtle, gradual, and sometimes insidious. It's the higher octave of Venus and the second of the transcendental planets. Where we find Neptune in our charts is where we tend to deceive ourselves and/or others. Conversely, it is also where we seek the ideal.
Pisces is an understanding and compassionate sign who is emotional, musical, artistic, and introspective. Mars represents pure action, energy, and initiative that represents our animal nature, desire, and sexual energies.
The energy, determination, and unstoppable drive of Mars combined with sympathetic and intuitive Pisces can lead humanity in positive or negative steps, depending on the aggressive and often impulsive actions of Mars and escapist and procrastinating temperament of Pisces.
Mars may jump the gun, eager to begin something, but their natives are not well-known to complete it. This is where charitable Pisces can prompt the continuation through a gentler approach, pending they themselves don't succumb to the shadow aspect of their indolent nature.
Pisces armed with Mars is a soft melody encouraging us to pursue our dreams through a more compassionate and understanding means of obtaining our desire. It encourages us to knock gently on a closed door instead of kicking it open.
Pisces is the one sign who understands the old adage, "You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar." Conversely, they can also be highly manipulative in their shadow state. This manipulation can be used for a greater good, such as bringing peace to a volatile situation, or a destructive manner bent on dividing or influencing others to partake in conflict.
If we are aware of the shadow aspects of our own nature, then we will immediately recognize when slipping into them. Keep a check on intentions at all times to ensure they're reflective of the positive traits of Pisces compassion and Mars energy and action.
If we do that, the melody rises high and encompasses the world in the arms of its tune, bringing a soft yet firm energy to all our actions.

Venus enters Pisces @ 5:51 PM EST, 7th House.
Venus, exalted in Pisces, is not just considered the Goddess of Love, but the glue of the Universe—as love is the highest essence of all creation.
The keyword for Pisces is "understanding", as they possess a compassionate and sympathetic nature when demonstrating their positive characteristics.
These two are cojoining in the 7th house, the natural home of Libra ruled by Venus, is a house of face-to-face relationships, partnerships, and cooperation.
This house indicates what we lack within ourselves as it's opposite the 1st house, revealing our strongest personality traits. Therefore, what we lack is apt to be mirrored in others.
However, with Saturn currently in Pisces until 2026, this transit will be hampered by discipline and structure under taskmaster Saturn.
Conversely, if your Venus is in Capricorn, ruled by Saturn, the energetic signature of this transit will be more powerful.
The threat here is to fail to create balance between work and pleasure. While goals, dreams, and work are important parts of our lives, we are nothing without Love. Don't forget to MAKE time for love.
And I don't mean just romantic love, but that of friendship, the earth, creation as a whole. Fall in love with every moment of every day and all that you are blessed with.
Revel in the essence of Love balanced with accomplishment - travel, go places you've never been, experience things you've never done.
As Love heals all things, it's also the perfect time to heal estranged relationships, so we should be kind, courageous, and love in all our deeds and communications.
The good news is that Venus will conjunct Neptune in Pisces April 4th, 11th House @ This conjunction is brief but oh so powerful and considered a very auspicious day. These two together provide a fairytale-like atmosphere, especially for creative-endeavors and love. If we're not in a relationship, we could be swept off our feet, much like Anchises—discipline and structure be damned!

Mercury enters Aries this evening @ 11:03 PM, 6th House, the natural home of Virgo ruled by Mercury, a house of substance and duty showing work, health, and habits. It indicates career, employees, tenants, servants, pets, and dependents.
This house also highlights the service given to others. Here work and health are closely related.
Mercury is the prince of intellect, communication, avenues of expression, and patron of travelers. He possesses reasoning ability, awareness, and rules the brain, sight, mouth, and tongue among many other body parts, including ALL hormones.
As the bearer of the caduceus, he holds healing power and has the ability to transcend dimensions.
Mercury's action can be knee-jerk, uncertain, and sometimes volatile under certain influences. Where we find Mercury in our chart indicates where and how we communicate best.
Aries
Aries is associated with quick changes and sudden forks in the road. Their life is marked by arriving at a certain place and then being turned in a new direction. Life is adventurous!
There is a dynamic restlessness to the Aries character. With the Sun in this sign, you are an activist and doer. If you have a new plan or idea—you can't wait to plunge in! The amusing little prayer, "Grant me patience NOW!" is typical of the Arien attitude.
When others first meet them, their instant impression is of something exciting, vibrant, talkative. Others will be lucky if they can get a word in edgewise. If someone brings up a topic, they will be delighted to tell in great detail exactly what they think about it.
Aries gravitate toward the center of action. They are audacious and intent on getting their own way. Since their nature is to express power, they treat opposition as an annoyance to be brushed out of the way. They are a natural leader who exudes self-confidence.
They are generous about helping others in a crisis. They are openhearted and share ideas and advice, and will even pick up the check. They are uninterested in the small and petty!
Mercury in Aries
It's not difficult to figure out how this transit will play out! Our attention to details and styles of communication become more proactive, improves, and increases. And what I mean by increases is not just substance but speed.
When Mercury is transiting through Aries, we need to keep a tight rein on our temperament, or we may find our actions more impulsive, hot-headed, and aggressive than we realize.
Because Mercury indicates short-term trips, this applies to travel as well, or we may discover ourselves in the midst of road-rage.
Aries is a cardinal fire sign ruled by Mars, the God of War. This transit heralds' fresh ideas and an eagerness to begin; however, Aries is not known for long periods of effort and concentration to complete what they begin.
Short-term projects and goals are more favored during this period.
Mercury in Aries Natal:
The keyword for this natal placement is "Impulsive". You are imaginative, and you have good foresight and a desire to be first in everything. You can express yourself easily and you can improvise beautifully. At times you use your nervous energies cuttingly or even sarcastically.
Impetuous and impulsive, you may tend to sudden shifts and changes of viewpoint This placement is not well adapted for sustained mental effort; therefore, you need to cultivate patience and learn to not be impatient with delays.
Witty, inventive, and quick on the trigger your ideas are original. You can be combative and love a good debate. Sometimes you can be too headstrong or too self-centered. If there are challenging aspects from Mercury to Jupiter in your chart, you are prone to exaggeration and tend to look at the world as you wish it to be, not as it really is.
Many fixed planets in our chart will help to stabilize this placement.

Black Moon Lilith enters Libra late this afternoon @ 5:18 PM EST: A desire for relationships and partnerships increases.

Black Moon Lilith enters Libra late this afternoon @ 5:18 PM EST: A desire for relationships and partnerships increases.
It's been 13 months, since January 2023, that Lilith entered a new sign. To incorporate this transit into our understanding, it's necessary be aware of who Lilith is, as well as the properties of the astrological sign Libra.
Black Moon Lilith is the astrological representation of feminine exile exiting earthy Virgo, the domain of analytics and practicality, for Libra, the domain of harmony, balance, and justice.
Sidenote: Wherever you find Lilith in your chart ( sign and house ) is a reflection of her payback demand, some past wrong which must be avenged. Somewhere along your experiences, someone overlooked your gifts or commercialized your talent for their own benefit.
Somewhere along your experiences, you were swallowed whole and spit out naked. Lilith is here to collect.
But first, "In order to know virtue, we must first acquaint ourselves with vice." ~ Marquis de Sade
Peace-loving Libra is the social and persuasive butterfly of the zodiac representing cooperation, diplomacy, refined taste in the arts, and judicial insight. We'll be alerted if we've slipped into the dark side of this balanced sign if we demonstrate tits shadow aspects: fickle, apathetic, peace at any price, pouting, indecisiveness, and easily deterred.
Libra's natural home is the 7th house, ruled by Venus, a house of face-to-face relationships.
This house represents our business and marital partnerships, including divorce, contracts, lawsuits, bargains, agreements, and any dealings with the public and the public's response.
It also reveals our open enemies, cooperation ( or lack thereof ) with others, and indicates what we most lack in ourselves. That is because this house is opposite the 1st House, a house highlighting our strongest personality traits.
With Lilith in Libra, others often act as mirrors if we opt to pay attention and recognize the reflection. Lilith is known for revealing aspects of us that we ourselves had no knowledge of.
Don't suppress those aspects. On the contrary, we need to explore them with an open and nonjudgmental mind.
If your Natal BML is in Libra, you'll experience a lot of challenges in this lifetime involving due to the lack of harmony Lilith represents. You may have a fascination with relationships; however, that doesn't guarantee they will be successful ones. They either tend to abruptly end, or we may become attracted to those who are not available to reciprocate our feelings.
Libra is ruled by Venus, so appreciation of beauty and the finer things in life are a natural balm to this native; however, when Lilith enters the picture, your appetite for love intensifies, yet can't be satisfied. You may not easily trust others; therefore, it's difficult to maintain balance and harmony, especially in an intimate relationship.
You must take care not to define yourself by the expectations of others or view yourself as an extension of those relationships in hopes of filling a deep-seated hole of insecurity in your heart. Lilith is rebellious, independent, and refuses to conform to expectations or demands.
This position reveals what has been repressed within you, and Lilith's presence can have a destructive effect if we're not fully aware of her influence.
However, if you can face and manage to integrate Lilith's qualities, you're guaranteed to discover a feral power you've never known. Negative people can have a detrimental effect in this position, so make sure you surround yourself with positive individuals who genuinely care about you.
This means forgoing a desire for attention from those whose actions and treatment of others are less desirable regardless of how you feel about them.
Despite what you may crave, you need a partner who is patient, kind, and loving in your life. Only this type of mate can provide the safety and security that you need to open up and trust someone. That is the very challenge that you face in this lifetime, opening up in trust to the right person.
When you realize that your choices make all the difference in outcomes, you're enabled to recognize a pattern that may have kept you locked in a loop from childhood experiences. For example, if your parents fought or argued a lot. It's important to recognize what makes you uncomfortable in this life, i.e. - drama or discord, and not make the same mistakes.

Mercury enters his detriment in Pisces overnight @ 2:29 AM, 4th House, the natural home of Cancer ruled by the Moon: WE choose what we are going to think, feel, and believe—confidence and communication will follow that belief with grace and ease.

Mercury enters his detriment in Pisces overnight @ 2:29 AM, 4th House, the natural home of Cancer ruled by the Moon: WE choose what we are going to think, feel, and believe—confidence and communication will follow that belief with grace and ease.
The 4th house is a house of endings and security. It represents our roots, heritage, ancestry, and private life. As a house of endings, it features the closing years of life, the ending of all matters, fame after death and even the place of burial.
In addition to the house ( or settings/ atmosphere of the transit ) we must first understand the planet and astrological sign of the ingress.
Mercury is the Prince of intellect and avenues of expression. He also possesses reasoning ability, awareness, and rules the brain, sight, mouth, and tongue among many other body parts, including ALL hormones. That last part is beneficial to know for this transit, as it's in the home of the emotional and intuitive Moon, which rules our moods.
Additionally, Mercury's action can be knee-jerk, uncertain, and sometimes volatile under certain influences. Why am I focused on some lower vibrational traits?
Pisces, on the other hand, is intuitive, compassionate, sympathetic, emotional and psychically astute.
You would think that this pair would make magic together; however, that's not the case for a transit ( in comparison to the natal chart, which is an entirely different story ).
Why?
Mercury is in his detriment in Pisces. And a detriment means that Mercury will not be operating at his full potential and must conform to the rules and regulations of Pisces, which can be pessimistic and emotionally inhibited ( there's those hormones again ) with bouts of melancholy and timidity when it leans toward the negative aspects of its traits.
Awareness and grounding exercises will help us stay focused in the moment to prevent impractical thoughts or feeling misunderstood, which can lead to procrastination and indolence. Avoid too much caffeine and sugar, as they can be emotional triggers via hormones.
During this transit, we can consciously choose the light and stick to positive aspects of ourselves, and the artistic side of our gifts. And we ALL have artistic gifts.
Also, be charitable toward others as well as our self. Most importantly, believe in our self and our ability to make a vital contribution to this planet.
Lastly, realize that ANY feelings of insecurity, doubt, melancholy, pessimism, misunderstandings, and the like could simply be Mercury kicking up his heels in a place where he must conform ( among other energies at play, which would be discussed in my daily energy updates ).
Bottom line?
WE choose what we are going to think, feel, and believe—confidence and communication will follow that belief with grace and ease.

Astrea enters Cancer this morning @ 10:16 AM, 3rd House, the natural home of Gemini ruled by Mercury: Raising planetary vibration through giving and gratitude contributes to the creation of a New Age and balances injustice with justice through action.

Astrea enters Cancer this morning @ 10:16 AM, 3rd House, the natural home of Gemini ruled by Mercury: Raising planetary vibration through giving and gratitude contributes to the creation of a New Age and balances injustice with justice through action. If Love be our goal, our own shall be increased the more we give of ourselves.
Astraea in Mythology
In Greek Mythology, Astraea, also known as the Star Goddess or Maiden, was renowned as the virgin god of justice, innocence, purity, and precision. She was beloved by the Greeks and thought to represent the Light in the world during what scholars have referred to as 'The Golden Age'.
The Golden Age ( Age of Innocence ) was one of the five Ages of Man in the old Greek religion. In mythology, the ages represented the history of human existence and its subsequent deterioration. Astraea came to symbolize humanity's fall and the hope that a new age of innocence would return.
As to her origins, there are differing stories; however, the widest accepted is that she herself is a descendant of the Titans.
According to Hesiod’s Theogony, her father was the second-generation TITAN, Astraeus, the astrological GOD OF DUSK. Her mother was EOS, the goddess of the dawn. It's believed that Astraeus was the only daughter, sister to the four Anemoi winds ( wind gods ): Boreas, Notus, Eurus, and Zephyrus.
Astraea in Cancer
At best, Cancer is a sensitive, intuitive sign possessing a maternal domesticity combined with a sympathetic and traditional views. At worst, it can be broody, touchy, too easily hurt, manipulative, too cautious, or host self-pity parties.
Astraea's movement into this hard-shelled sign can alter that potential for negativity by increasing its empathy and a desire to focus on the more positive aspects it can offer the whole, especially toward the vulnerable or less fortunate.
The influence of belief for a new age is rekindled through work that raise planetary vibrations through a method of giving that transforms hopelessness into hope.
The ingress into the third house, the natural home of Gemini ruled by Mercury, indicates a focus on all forms of communication and intellectual pursuits related to justice and balance. Gemini's clever and inventive nature has the ability to conjure up new avenues of versatile assistance for the vulnerable and destitute.
Raising planetary vibration through giving and gratitude contributes to the creation of a New Age and balances injustice with justice through action. If Love be our goal, our own shall be increased the more we give of ourselves.

Venus in Aquarius @ 11:06 AM
The keyword for this ingress is, 'Affectionately Detached' ( aka Hold On Loosely but don't let go ). 🎼
Venus is known as the Goddess of Love and Beauty. Where you find Venus in your chart reveals what you enjoy the most. Gentle and harmonious, Venus governs emotional contact and moral character. Additionally, she also rules over partnerships and domestic unions of all kinds.
NOTE: Venus is known for her sensuality, not sexual prowess. Nor should she be consulted for long-term love interests. Juno is the one you want to consult about what kind of love would best suit us long term.
Aquarius, on the other hand, is all about freedom and independence. Though tolerant and humane, any attempt to cage them in will result in a backlash of unpredictable and radical rebelliousness.
Thus, the key phrase: "Affectionately Detached". Or, as 38 Special so eloquently put it: "Just hold on loosely, but don't let go; If you cling too tightly, You're gonna lose control".
Since both Venus and Aquarius gravitate toward artistic beauty and creative arts, this transit will favor such endeavors between individuals. Aquarius energy encompasses progressive individualism, while Venus is all about aesthetics and culture.
This ingress is perfect for creative endeavors: alone or with others. Allow such endeavors to be divinely inspired and free of constraints or control.
If your natal Venus is in Aquarius, you are cool, calm, collected, popular and unselfish. You prefer liking many to loving one and live by your own rules and regulations, regardless of how unaccepted this may be to society.
Your romantic attractions are often sudden, but not always lasting. Your partner must be a friend as well as a lover, from whom you seek mental stimulation and plenty of variety.
Not possessive yourself, you will shy away from anyone who might want to tie you down. You are intuitive, and you function well with friends and in groups. You are interested in new art forms, legal reforms, and technical endeavors.
With difficult aspects, you may be aloof, cold, stubborn, and may crave eccentric sexual experiences. Make certain you check which house your natal Venus resides in Aquarius to garner more depth of understanding.

Mars enters Aquarius overnight,1:06 AM, EST, 3rd House.
Here raw action and energy meet knowledge and imagination!
Mars transiting Aquarius portends a highly individualistic transit filled with a desire for freedom of expression combined with progressive ideas that are both artistic and scientific.
Uranus, known as the upper octave of Mercury, rules Aquarius and is known as the awakener representing the freedom urge.
This energy encompasses metaphysical interests such as magic, the occult, astrology, psychology, and heralds' sudden change.
This change can be accompanied by altruistic and humane endeavors focusing on community and the world at large.
Aquarius is a visionary who sees the big picture, representing paradigm shifts, while Mars is the courageous warrior who clears the path.
On the flipside, this coupling can also produce eccentric, bohemian, egotistical, or utopian behavior.
The energy, determination, and unstoppable drive of Mars combined with a tolerant and logical Aquarius can lead humanity in positive or negative steps, depending on the aggressive and often impulsive actions of Mars and rebellious temperament of Aquarius.
Mars may jump the gun, eager to begin something, but their natives are not well-known to complete it. This is where clear-minded Aquarius assumes the completion through intellectual and revolutionary measures. We're talking genius breakthroughs.
Aquarius armed with Mars is a fight song that encourages us to stand up for what we believe, and we'll have the courage to fight for needed change. However, this war won't involve bullets or heavy artillery; it will involve strategic mental capabilities.
Aquarius is the one sign who understands that traditional ways acting haven't or won't produce the desires results; thus, the only way to accomplish a goal is outside of the box—to strategize and act in radically different methods that shift the poles of belief.
Mars is a conqueror and fights battle by battle for what he wants. However, Aquarius focuses on a global scale; therefore, grave injustice toward the greater whole won't go overlooked.
As the humanitarian of the zodiac, Aquarius will utilize its intellect and the energy of Mars to produce viable solutions for humankind.
This is a revolution of reformation. This is OUR Fight Song for positive change, some thing in the form of unexpected and unprecedented—the exact thing that miracles are made of.

Ceres enters Capricorn @ 6:09 AM, 1st house. The mass movement toward Air continues.

Ceres enters Capricorn @ 6:09 AM, 1st house. The mass movement toward Air continues.
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.
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.

Pallas, the goddess of Wisdom, War, and Craft enters Sagittarius @ 3:10 AM EST 1st House, the natural home of Aries ruled by Mars.
The first house is a house of identity and life. It's also representative of our Ascendant. It reveals our personality and natural disposition. Here our tendencies and individual expression is seen. It's filled with the energy of new beginnings.
Pallas Mythology & Spiritual Significance:
Pallas is the goddess of wisdom and self-defense in charge of defending herself and those in her care; thus, she is never the aggressor. Myth says she sprang fully formed and armed from the head of her father, the king of heaven. Her symbol is the wise owl.
She is also known as an artisan connected to weaving due to her love of fabric and skill with a needle and thread. She was known to create and inspire patterns of lasting beauty. This metaphor carries over into our life patterns and linked ideas.
Known as the warrior queen and the philosopher, she most resonates with 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. Whenever we deduct a theory involving how we desire to live our lives, we are exercising our philosophical nature. This is the influence of Pallas.
Whenever we stand our ground or strategize politics, or we're challenged by others over our beliefs or lifestyle choices, or for no particular reason (other than they are having a bad day and are lashing out), this is where Pallas appears to offer strategic wisdom that we can respond from rather than a defensive reaction.
Responding from a place of knowledge instead of fear lends an air of victory before the battle is over.
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.
“Don’t fence me in!” could be their motto.
Sagittarius strengths are Freedom-loving, broad mindedness, generous, optimistic, scholarly, and enthusiastic!
Pallas in Sagittarius transit:
Being the goddess of wisdom and wise strategy, Pallas is right at home in the higher thinking octave of Sagittarius, whose natural home is the 9th House, a house of aspiration and life, ruled by benevolent Jupiter, the planet of expansion and protection.
This transit highlights the higher mind and principles of Sagittarius: Philosophy and intellect. Despite being in our heads, per se, doesn't mean we're diplomatic in our speech. On the contrary, we can become very direct, tactless, even, which can be very off-putting to others. Regardless, major life decisions are deeply analyzed prior to making them.
Regardless, life is an adventure, and curiosity coupled with a desire to explore different experiences tops the list. This includes learning something new, anything from cultural diversity to local heritage that involves religion, philosophy, or spirituality. This can include foreign travel to study abroad or simple day trips to expand our knowledge of an area.
We are more open and inspired by the arts, the unordinary, and particularly the exotic during this transit. Our relationships are more open and grounded in trust than when in suspicious and guarded Scorpio.
Pallas in Scorpio Natal:
Those with this placement in their natal charts use their higher mind to connect wisdom and intellect. Whatever doesn't feel right, even if it appears logical, is going to be run through your philosophic filter. This is because you like to see the big picture, like a chess board, before deciding your next move.
The small details, like what kind of chess board or pieces, don't seem to matter to you next to that big picture of the game as a whole. Your desire to address an issue regardless of size ( big picture ) is appealing to you. The bigger the better. You enjoy a challenge because it's an adventure of the intellect to solve.
This is particularly true when the investigative process involves research; however, even if what you discover is logical, you'll keep searching until it feels right. This is especially true before you share it with others. Sharing something that appears logical but doesn't feel right is a contradiction to you. So, you'll keep digging until you feel you've gotten it right.
The only caveat with that is WHEN to share.
Sometimes, your eagerness to involve others in the results of your discoveries, especially if unsolicited, can make you feel unappreciated if their response lacks enthusiasm.

Mercury enters Aquarius Mon, Feb 05 @ 12:10 AM.
Mercury is exalted in Aquarius, thus embodies out-of-the-box, innovative thinking. Mercury represents intellect and avenues of expression, whereas Aquarius represents imaginative thinking outside of the box.
This will spark an insatiable desire for knowledge and connection with like-minded. We can expect our desire for knowledge to increase while we open to new concepts and more progressive ways of being.
Being exalted in this Airy sign, the Messenger of the Gods feels completely relaxed and enabled as himself. Expression should be harmonious, as complementary forces are increased and the virtues magnified.
The only caveat is Aquarian's Fixed quality, which could add a bit of an obstinate stance. The conjunction between Mercury and Pluto in the 1st house will bring a burst of regenerative energy and determination to move forward.
This could be a new beginning or fresh start to an old project we didn't have the insight to complete.
It's a perfect time for deep reflection and probing possibilities. There may be something under the surface that we missed the first time around that will become more apparent.

Venus enters Capricorn, 3:51 AM EST, 2nd House.
The 2nd House is the natural home of Taurus ruled by Venus. It's a house of values and substance highlighting financial affairs, possessions, investments, earning power, and any gain or loss through our own efforts. Inner talents are also featured here, as well as our emotional feelings surrounding self-worth and our sense of values.
In early times, Venus was considered the planet of Love and was referred to as the lesser benefic. It rules art, culture, aesthetics, possessions, partners, beauty, and charm. Its energy is affectionate and supplies you with those things which create happiness by guiding you toward obtaining it. She also governs finances, since money is an avenue of happiness and security for many.
Venus is associated with our senses, known as the body's receptors, key indicators that alert us to what is pleasing—and what is not. Our desire to be surrounded by beauty, comfort, and security is a Venusian influence.
Capricorn, on the other hand, has a natural tendency to innately know how to create and successfully operate any organization. As finances are governed by Venus, and Capricorn is a frugal as they come in regard to not being frivolous, aspirations are easily attainable with this combination. Unlike the impulsive and often impatient energy of Mars in Capricorn, Venus adds a touch of affectionate advancement that includes a sense of value and affection.
Capricorn energy is all about living by discipline and caution, while Venus is the social butterfly and the face of any mutual endeavor. What Venus nurtures Capricorn brings to fruition the old-fashioned way through hard work while honoring time-and-true traditions, including respect for elders.
This is a power-packed, trustworthy duo that demonstrates determination and loyalty, especially in relationships. We have a tendency to honor our boundaries during this transit. This enables us to engage on a more earthy and mature level than in a passionate fire or emotional water sign. We realize our worth and freely give love when it's earned. We can't woo our way through this - our actions need to demonstrate our sincerity—and so do the actions of others before we freely engage.
Afterall, in this transit, we desire our relationships to last beyond flirty exchanges and playful banter. If you're already in a relationship, you'll be able to work through any issues to discover a solution or compromise. We'll work hard and play just as much, but it will be for keeps rather than a passing fancy geared toward temporarily sating our senses in the moment.

Black Moon Lilith enters Virgo @ 4:41 PM EST, Sunday, December 21, 2024: A penchant for perfectionism intensifies.
To incorporate this transit into our understanding, it's necessary be aware of who Lilith is, as well as the properties of the astrological sign Virgo.
Black Moon Lilith is the astrological representation of feminine exile who is exiting fiery Leo, the domain of power, purpose, and talent for the earthy, analytical, and practical sign of Virgo.
Sidenote: Wherever you find Lilith in your chart ( sign and house ) is a reflection of her payback demand, some past wrong which must be avenged. Somewhere along your experiences, someone overlooked your gifts or commercialized your talent for their own benefit. Somewhere along your experiences, you were swallowed whole and spit out naked. Lilith is here to collect.
But first, "In order to know virtue, we must first acquaint ourselves with vice." ~ Marquis de Sade
Because Virgo is the troubleshooter of the zodiac, having an excellent eye for details, delights in helping, and is willing to accept any task, our daily schedules and routines will be affected by Lilith's presence. Here is where we need to guard against extreme behavior and opinions by maintaining a middle balance between sides.
We'll know we've slipped if we demonstrate the darker side of Virgo: perfectionism, nit-picky and/or pettiness, overly critical, self-centered, pedantic, skeptical, and sloppy.
Because Virgo's natural home is the 6th house, work and health are related. Paying close attention to our daily habits such as food and diet, or any condition which may affect our health. We should also take care and pay close attention to whether we exhibit lucid sexuality or repression. We should be on particular alert against fear of failure due to perfectionism.
Expect a few surprises during this transit. Lilith is known for revealing aspects of us that we ourselves had no knowledge of! Don't suppress those aspects! Explore them with an open and nonjudgmental mind.
If your Natal BML is in Virgo, take an inventory of your expectations. Giving love ( or anything else, for that matter ) should be done on an altruistic basis, not with an expectation of benefit to yourself. Virgo is ruled by Mercury, so intellect and communication come natural to this native; however, when Lilith enters the picture, your knowledge may be more of a pretense than genuine expression.
Also, with Lilith in the picture, you will have a tendency to put financial security above relationships and your own desires. You actually search, whether outwardly or innately, for security, and desire a partner who is level-headed, free of drama, and an asset to help you resolve your issues. But this can be too ideal rather than realistic if your expectations are too high.
The main thing to avoid is repression of your personal desires, as this will manifest as health issues. If this happens, you will likely play the victim of your choices rather than assuming responsibility and working toward change. This mental attitude will be apparent and difficult to solve if it reaches that point.
When you realize that limitations you experience are mostly self-imposed, and you have the power to change, your life will pivot toward a more positive outlook.

Pluto enters Aquarius @ 7:57 PM, EST, 7th House: Power to the People. Pluto's entrance into a new sign leaves an imprint on an entire generation. Thus, it is heralded as the generational planet because its transit into a new sign initiates that generation.
”If we are to have any hope for the future, those who have lanterns must pass them on to others.” ~ Plato
It's important to understand that Pluto takes an estimated 248 YEARS to travel through the Zodiac. It's the farthest from the Sun, and its orbit is known as the most eccentric ( not to mention slowest ) in our solar system and remains in each sign between 12- 32 years.
Ironically, it only stays in the sign of its Dignity, Scorpio, for 12 years, while remaining in its Detriment, Taurus, for 32 years.
When this is all said and done, we will have experienced FIVE Plutonian ingressions ( thanks to retrograde ) within a 19-month period:
1. First, when he moved into Aquarius March 23, 2023 @ 12:40 PM. This ingress gave us a sneak preview of the Age of Aquarius and herald revolutionary and cultural change.
2. Retrograde back into Capricorn June 11, 2023 @ 5:36 AM.
3. Re-enters Aquarius today, January 20, 2024 @ 7:57 PM.
4. Retrograde back into Capricorn @ 7:58 PM September 01, 2024. This will run right through the U.S. presidential election.
5. Permanently enter Aquarius on November 19 @7:57 PM where he will remain for 20 years, until entering Pisces 2043.
Talk about shaking things up! When Pluto shifts into a new sign, notable cultural upheavals often transpire, upgrading our cultural mythology in real time.
It is also known as the third transcendental planet whose influence is not immediately felt by the individual. That's because, with anything that takes time, Pluto's eventual impact is deep and far-reaching.
The entrance into a new sign leaves an imprint on an entire generation. Thus, it is heralded as the generational planet because its transit into a new sign initiates that generation.
When studying your natal chart, pay particular attention to which House Pluto resides; it indicates insight into the role you may be destined to play. And because it takes time to impact you, its function conjuncts with the passage from the South to the North Node (what you're born into and your destiny).
My Pluto resides in the 12th House, the home of Pisces, ruled by Neptune. It is a house of subconscious and endings. Pluto is also my ruling planet, and as the second deconate of Scorpio, Neptune is my planetary sub-ruler.
I foresee and welcome great change.
Pluto rules our deepest subconscious and embodies the principle of transformation and regeneration; thus, it can bridge the spiritual and material worlds. It may be small, but the old cliche that dynamite comes in small packages has never rung truer than now.
Aquarius, on the other hand, is an air sign known for its independent and unconventional nature. It is associated with innovation, intellectual pursuits, humanitarianism, and a desire for social change.
When Pluto is in Aquarius in a birth chart, it suggests that the individual's transformative experiences and personal power will be expressed through Aquarian qualities. They may have a strong desire to challenge traditional norms, question authority, and bring about revolutionary changes in society. They are likely to be drawn to unique and alternative ways of thinking, and their personal transformation may involve breaking free from societal expectations.
Pluto's transit through Aquarius, on a larger scale, influences the collective consciousness and societal structures. During this time, there may be a focus on transforming and revolutionizing social, political, and technological systems. Issues related to individual freedoms, equality, and the advancement of human rights may gain prominence.
It's important to note that the interpretation of Pluto in Aquarius can vary depending on other aspects of an individual's birth chart or the specific time period of Pluto's transit.
Consulting with a professional astrologer can provide more personalized and detailed insights into the significance of this placement for a particular person or time.

Mars is exalted in Capricorn, which means his expression will be harmonious. The complementary forces of Ares and Saturn ( ruling planets ), as well as the virtues of the planets themselves will be magnified.
Mars transiting Capricorn portends a highly energetic time. Saturn ruled Capricorn is known for hard work and the creation process, be it a career, family business, or structure.
Capricorn has a natural tendency to innately know how to not only create but successfully operate any organization. With the energy, drive, determination, and unstoppable drive of Mars, aspirations are easily attainable if we're willing to work toward them.
That's because Capricorn isn't frivolous even though Mars may be impulsive, red-hot, and ready to go.
Capricorn energy is all about living by discipline and caution. And while Mars may jump the gun, eager to begin something, their natives are not well-known to complete it. This is where Capricorn steps in to complete tasks the old-fashioned way through hard work while honoring time-and-true traditions, including respect for elders.
With all this excess energy from Mars, outlets are highly advised during this transit: long walks in nature, competitive sports, or even short-term projects such as fundraisers or charity drives. This will Mars' appetite for impulsive action while allowing Capricornian energy to complete the bigger tasks, like building an empire!
