💫Full OOB Wolf Moon in Cancer 

Aspects (time & degrees below)

Early morning the OOB N' Moon in Cancer opposite OOB S' Mars in Capricorn, creating a brief period of dissonance that could affect our relationships. Tolerance becomes the keyword of the morning, and patience with things that wouldn't normally disturb us. 

Relationships with women in particular could be more challenging. This transit is brief, and awareness can be a wonderful tool to help us navigate rough waters. 

Midafternoon the OOB Moon conjunct Jupiter Rx in Cancer, ushering in relief from the previous aspect. Petty foibles no longer try our patience, and opening up to others becomes much easier if we take it slowly. This transit has a tendency to mirror what we give back unto us, so make sure its nurturing support. 

Tonight, the OOB Moon in Cancer square Chiron in Aries, presenting a wonderful opportunity to assist the healing of another or heal with the assistance of others if we do not allow fear to prevent us from opening up to vulnerability. 

Whether you're in a relationship or single, you may struggle due to past experiences that produced wounds. Yet, there is such an opportunity present for spiritual growth by facing these wounds by allowing them to surface so they can finally be addressed.

Courage (Mars) and open communication (Mercury) are essential prescriptions.

I dare you to call me hysterical…

but something is changing

if you have no vacancy for mystery

stop reading

though even stone can resonate

so maybe try

listening

listen to the mystics

who drink the same nectar

poured directly from the heavens

through the straw of an ancient spirit

watch the resistance

the diverging of religions

an old guard is moving

notice a world aching

for something different

who have had their fill

of hell fires and the thumb holds of shame

wars for power

othering and oppression

for ignorance of rising seas

and children starving

if you have tethered yourself

to a jealous macho God

who only makes room in his heaven

for those who worship him

a God who’s ego

looks a lot like your father’s

maybe you have asked a little too little

of your creator

maybe you should have been looking

at your mother

deep down she’s always known

God dwells in the details

both male and female

and the devil

grows in all of us

who live afraid of our shadows

I have come to know the Holy Spirit

as a woman

She is that message whistling from the tips of mountains

the shifting pull of tide

the gentle wind

the haunting inkling in your chest

to resist what has always been

her story is the puzzle piece missing

from the mystery of Mercy

but that is changing

She knows

no one can experience goodness

if they’re brought to it in chains

She knows Love

as a beautiful song

of opening 

pouring out and allowing

resonating

her part in the transcendent chant

has too long been ignored

She knows humans will always resist

what they feel they can’t control

but her time has come

I dare you to call me hysterical

and I challenge you to prove me wrong

but something tells me

when the light dances with darkness

and cities quiver

when the cock crows at the moon

and the wolf howls to the sun

so starts an era of Holy Wind

so begins the time of Divine

Feminine

Art: “Erato, Muse of Poetry “1870, Edward John Poynter

💫 No major aspects—enjoy this art education.

‘Erato‘ is the Greek Muse of lyric and love poetry, particularly erotic poetry and mimic imitation. The daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne, she inspires verses that capture deep emotions and intimate thoughts, with her name meaning "lovely" or "desired". Her wreath of myrtle and roses are symbols of love and beauty and her lyre, or small kithara, is a musical instrument associated with Apollo.        

In the Orphic hymn to the Muses, it is Erato who charms the sight. In Simon Vouet's representations, two turtle-doves are eating seeds at her feet. She is sometimes depicted holding a golden arrow, symbolizing "eros", the feeling she inspires in everybody; at times she is accompanied by Eros, holding a torch.      

Edward John Poynter (1836–1919) British artist his work, characteristic of the neoclassical and academic art styles of the 19th century. Often depicting historical, mythological, or biblical subjects with dramatic and opulent effects. Beyond paintings, he also worked on murals and stained glass and was an influential administrator who became president of the Royal Academy.       

His work features delicate brushwork, precise composition, and a high level of detail. He was not limited to oil painting; he also created murals and stained glass, demonstrating his versatility across different mediums.                                                                                              

I love the bold colors of her wings against her golden gown.

💫Be still under after the void-of-course period to set things straight. 

Late morning the Sun conjunct Venus in Capricorn during the void-of-course Moon. A void-of-course Moon indicates that all is not as it seems. It may not be a good or appropriate time to answer pertinent questions because the results may not be what you want.

Void-of-Course Conjunction

The usual axiom for starting things on a v/c Moon is, “Nothing will come of the matter.”  

Outcomes will not go as you planned; in fact, most of the time it will end up far worse than you planned. You may be caught blissfully unaware. Or perhaps you'll miss something you weren’t paying close enough attention to.

But you won’t be able to set the situation right during this 21-minute period before the Moon enters Virgo @ 11:57 AM. 

Now is the time to be still and stay as you are. Take no action and wait for the storm to pass over. Be patient and allow matters to settle before beginning anew to allow this matter to resolve on its own without your help, work, or interference.

Don’t bail anyone out or make loans currently because it is unlikely you will be repaid. 

Medical results will probably not be accurate. If your question is about a job or career move, then it’s not the right one. If you apply for a job and get hired, it will not be long-lasting. It’s possible you will get hired and then a more suitable job will come along, and you will have to leave the first one.

After a long and costly effort, your matter in question may fail. People around you may start behaving like screwups. It could be that great passions are playing against you. Discipline is needed. It is not a time to act impulsively. Whatever you do as your routine will stay as it is. However, matters that are unplanned or spontaneous will tend to work out for you.

A v/c Moon can be used to your benefit, so keep this in mind. For instance, you can work on something you really don’t want. 

You can interact with persons you don’t really want to become a fixture in your life. Embarking on anything new or untried will tend to go wrong. In other words, if you agree to plans you don’t really want to come about during the v/c phase, then it will be very likely they will not come about.

However, meditation and any type of psychic or spiritual efforts will work out better during this v/c phase. It’s a good time to dream and even make plans; just do not act on them yet.

Also, do not plan a wedding! Keep in mind, the time is not yet ripe.

Sun conjunct Venus post Void-of-Course

Once the VC has passed, creativity and relationships rise to the surface. It's a good balance of give-and-take between yourself and others.  Socialization is highly favored during this time, and the possibility of making new contacts that can benefit you is high. 

Surrounding yourself with the beauty of life and positivity of others enhances your warmth. Mercury OOB S' should've affect interactions too much, as the southernly OOB indicates a more inward effect than outward. Still, guard your words and attitude toward others. The Sun is all about self and ego can creep in if we feel over-confident. 

A good alternative is to host a gathering this evening with family, friends, and/or associates. The warmth and gaiety should exude from your personality is a magnetic way that can potentially increase revenue through a new offer or partnership. 

Guard against being over-indulgent during this period. You don't have to break the bank to host something pleasant. You just have to be yourself.

💫 Unsatiated desires could potentially lead to arguments or discord in relationships as a form of energetic outlet. 

Mars conjunct Venus in Capricorn tonight and rising desires could be on the menu. When this masculine and feminine energy combine, it's the epitome of a natural instinct to conjoin, and not necessarily with someone you care about. 

Mars' masculine energy represents an aggressive urge that seeks gratification whether through battle victory or feminine conquest. Unsatiated desires could potentially lead to arguments or discord in relationships as a form of energetic outlet. 

Creative endeavors through performance would benefit and could suffice as the perfect outlet for pent-up energies seeking a way to escape. Whether involved in a local theater or alternate form of production, such as playing a band or a solo performance would serve as gratification. Even something as dancing could suffice, as long as it's physical movement. 

Be on the lookout for a potential new love interest. However, know that whomever you meet during this time, if you're physically attracted to them, could turn physical on the first date under this aspect.

"Be wise, O my Pain, and be more calm.

You claimed the evening; it's coming down; here it is:

A dark atmosphere sweeping the city,

Some bring peace, others worry.

While mortals the crowd vile,

Under the whip of Pleasure, this merciless beggar,

Going to collect remorse in the servile party,

My Pain, give me your hand; come here,

Far from them. See the late Years bending,

On the balconies of the sky, in vintage dresses"

"Be tranquil, O my Sorrow, and be wise.

The Evening comes, is here, for which you sought:

The Dusk, wrapping the city in disguise,

Care unto some, to others peace has brought.

Now while the sordid multitude with shame

Obeying Pleasure's whip and merciless sway,

Go gathering remorse in servile game,

Give me your hand, my Sorrow, come this way,

Far from them. See the years in ancient dress

Along the balconies of heaven press"

- Charles Baudelaire Meditation (excerpt)

💫 All things in moderation and personal discipline are warranted. 

Early morning the Sun conjunct Mars in Capricorn, providing the insight and the energy to act on a new venture that we may have been considering for a while. This is almost a mirror of yesterday's energy. The more active you are the better, just guard against excessive action or it could result in injury. 

You may even want to take the morning off if you have a desk job so that you can work alone to pursue your goal. Being cooped up in an office under supervision is likely to produce repressed tension that could easily spill over into power-struggles. 

Reviewing the current direction of our life is also favored due to the insight we receive. 

Early afternoon Venus in Capricorn opposite Jupiter Rx in Cancer, increasing our desire for excess in all things, whether food, spending, or hosting a soiree. All of these things can bring us great pleasure after a long week as long as we don't go overboard. Too much of anything is guaranteed to haunt us in the future. 

All things in moderation and personal discipline are warranted.

💫 Last Quarter Moon in Libra: Judge's Moon accompanied by an extended Void-of-Course. 

This lunar stage is often referred to as the last quarter square because it zeroes in on our outer wounds, or point of focus whenever we get triggered: it's a determiner that sets the gauge of how we react: do we tend to blame who or whatever triggered us rather than focusing on what needs healed within us?  

Spiritual maturity dictates that the recognition of our triggers or areas within us that need healed is all a part of our divine blueprint to nudge us onward. 

We KNEW what it would take to evict us out of our complacency—and just who or what it would take to honor the process. If some "one" or some "thing" is a 'bane' of our existence, there is a purpose for that presence, and the lesson is imperative. 

Recognizing that the purpose is here to serve us is one of the first spiritually "coming-of-age" signs. Perhaps the situation is teaching us to set boundaries, use our voice, or take action. 

Drop down into the heart and listen. 

Last week's Full Moon in Cancer opened the door to release and forgiveness. This lunation will show us exactly where we still have more work to do. With the extended 17-hour void-of-course time, hovering between Saturday and Sunday, it's a time for inner work, not major life decisions or strong actions. 

Aspects (time & degrees below)

While this process will not be easy with the following aspects, it will be more rewarding if we suffer through. The fourth quarter moon in Libra embodies balance, harmony, and emotional well-being. Therefore, creating this balance and harmony through the reconciliation of polar energies and overcoming obstacles is required. 

Early morning the Sun in Capricorn opposite Jupiter Rx in Cancer, requiring us to guard our positive energy from negatives such as arrogance or subordination. Honor previous commitments but establish boundaries against any request you know you will not be able to honor. 

Mid to late morning, Mars in Capricorn oppose Jupiter Rx in Cancer, Moon in Libra square Jupiter Rx in Cancer square Mars in Capricorn square Sun in Capricorn: This will be the most challenging time of the day. 

Required conscious about planning and performing honorably rather than egotistically prevents overestimating our abilities. 

Remaining within our own limits can bring success. Self-awareness is important regarding our actions to prevent smug self-righteousness or hasty decisions which could produce conflict with others. Overlooking slights will reduce a false perception of threats due to our own sensitivity.

Not everyone is out to attack us. 

Lastly, utilize patience regarding disruptions in routine or commute/travel issues if they arise. Don't take others for granted. If we have, it will most likely come to a head. Expressing ourselves without causing destruction is the challenge here, particularly with Mercury still OOB.  

Early-midafternoon the extended void-of-course kicks in until early Sunday morning. Also, the Libran Moon square Venus in Capricorn opposite Chiron in Aries. 

Nostalgia may overtake our thoughts during this time, which is fine as long as it doesn't cause us to overlook something pertinent in the present. 

Take care not to overindulge at lunch this afternoon. Alcohol may not be a wise choice at this time. Self-control will pay off in the near future and maintain current issues of self-worth or image that over-indulgence would just amplify. 

There is a profound opportunity here to face the aspects of ourselves we'd like to hide or hide from. Embracing the wound rather than rejecting it creates an atmosphere of profound healing. 

We have a powerful Super New Moon in Capricorn just around the corner. We're going to want to have as much of this behind us to take full advantage of what will be required in Saturn's realm. 

You designed this: You got this.
