In the journey of spiritual growth, particularly tonight, we are guided to delve inward to heal. 

✨Aspects (Time/degrees below)

Early thru midmorning, Moon in Leo opposite Venus in Aquarius opposite Mercury in Aquarius trine Chiron in Aries.  Guard against expectations born of entitlement and avoid extravagance and/or overindulgence of food or drink this morning.  Avoid generalizations, particularly with others. 

Solitude or quiet time with someone we trust could produce a positive conversation that could reveal aspects of ourselves we never realized and actually lead to a form of healing through clarity. This is particularly accurate regarding our relationships and how we feel about them. 

This evening Mercury in Aquarius sextile Chiron in Aries sextile Lilith Rx in Sagittarius* during the void-of-course Moon. 

According to Lynn Bell, Mercury Internet School of Psychological Astrology (MISPA), "Lilith represents an aspect of self that has gone out of bounds. This can happen in any area of life, sexual, intellectual or emotional, as if something has been heated too high and then cut-off or isolated. Underlying the cut-off is a source of power that has become stuck in refusal mode. 

Chiron in Aries represents the wound of self, and "Lilith resonates with those aspects of the feminine that have been rejected by a given culture, and her symbolism connects us to something that has been disavowed in our own lives. 

This archetype is of equal importance for both men and women, often triggering mysterious struggles in relationship. How may we unlock this powerful placement in our charts, and what happens when this archetype is released?"

In the journey of spiritual growth, particularly tonight, we are guided to delve inward and discover our Shadow self. This aspect of the feminine psyche, often likened to Lilith, symbolizes the elements that have been historically marginalized, repressed, denied, feared, and mistreated.

Through the emotions of anger, outrage, and rebellion, and by embracing the feelings that arise from invoking Lilith, we undergo a spiritual transformation. Because Mercury is featured here, release is imperative to obtain the healing we seek. Whether through conversation with a safe person, artistic expression, or the written word is a personal choice. 

By experiencing and accepting the essence of Lilith's independence, we learn to integrate our shadow selves—our irrational, rebellious, moon-cycling, intuitive, and feeling aspects that dwell in the night's darkness, the subconscious, and the depths of our wombs, a deeper place beyond any recognition or accolade. 

A place of origin and profound healing. 

*The latter sextile is partile but not perfected.

No major aspects—Art & Poetry 

"Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love."

  - Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926)

There is nothing wrong with enjoying something new by yourself, especially if a partner isn't interested. 

Venus in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus early morning. This aspect increases our desire to eschew routine for excitement, particularly through our intimate relationships. Avoid becoming too demanding or impatient toward others to fulfill our needs today. 

Be willing to listen as much as you expect to be heard and guard against making mountains out of molehills. 

If you can't find a partner to enjoy new and exciting things today, then there is no harm in discovering them yourself through an art exhibit, live music, or some other venue of interest. Beware of impulsive over-indulgence, particularly regarding finances. . .
