Grand Trine (Sun in Scorpio, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Pisces). Mercury in Sagittarius sextile Pluto in Aquarius - There's a flow of feeling, the rush of an inner tide. We're steeped in mystery, intrigued by the unknown, enticed to go deeper. The more we understand ourselves, the easier it is to support ourselves. Faith and karma, lofty topics of conversation, sit side by side with basic needs and loves. There’s a poignancy at times too. Echoes of ‘don’t worry my dear, it’ll all come out in the wash.’ It’s grandmother mopping up tears, soup for a cold, the smell of roast potatoes on Sunday.

Here too is light at the end of the tunnel – and the beginning. For every ending is a beginning. All we need to do is set the mind straight, focus on the higher path. What you say today has power. Choose your words and thoughts carefully to echo your deepest truth. New roads will open, when the time is right.

🌙 HECATE’S NIGHT🌙

The 16th November is a very special day and night in the Pagan Calendar.

Hecate is the Triple Goddess, and most often associated with a three-way crossroad. She is Hecate the Maiden, Hecate the Mother, and Hecate the Crone. Although the dark of the moon is her traditional time, Hecate can be called upon during any moon phase, as She is the One and the Three.

She is the goddess of witchcraft, the night, the new moon, ghosts, necromancy and crossroads. If you’ve been feeling the pull to release, redirect or reclaim your power… this is your sign.

Call in the light, honour your shadows, and let the goddess guide you toward the path meant only for you.
Trust your instincts. Trust your magic. Trust the whispers you feel, not just the ones you hear.

✨🖤 Blessed Hecate’s Night, my loves.

Ceres (Demeter), is one of the Asteroid Goddesses that resides in your chart. Ceres governs mysteries, and our initiation into them, She oversees the mothering-nurturing aspects, yes, but her mythos and importance dive deeper considering her own relationship to her daughter, Persephone, and the sacrifice necessary to embrace these mysteries.

Demeter was the Greek name for this goddess, whose daughter Persephone was abducted by Hades/Pluto and secreted away down in the Underworld. In grief and anger, Ceres withdrew her blessings from the world, causing all vegetation to perish. A compromise was reached whereby Persephone was allowed to spend 6 months above ground with her mother, but must also spend the remainder below ground, during which time nothing would grow.
Ceres placement often better demonstrates one’s style of nurturing than the Moon placement, both the creative giving of it, the style of receiving it, and its dark potential. A 12th- house Ceres might mean an elusive maternal relationship, or one where the native ingests spiritual values along with the mother’s milk. A Ta**us Ceres lends groundedness to the nurturing style, while increasing the potential to want to possess those being fed. Interpreting the asteroid in terms of its archaic inner face, we discover the wise funerary priestess, Ceres in her crone phase.. Like the prehistoric crones who cradled their dying tribesmen in their arms in last rites, Ceres can inspire us as compassionate caretakers of the terminally ill to guide those in hospices, for example, to make their final descent.

Asteroid Goddesses reveal how the Divine Feminine manifests in our lives - which is why I offer "The Goddess Report", a personalized astrological portrait of the asteroid goddesses in your own chart, at a price you choose. I believe that every woman should have access to the power of these influences in our psyches and paths.

I am offering the Goddess Report on a Pay-What-You-Will basis all weekend (which includes Ceres/Demeters’ placement in your own chart).Full details are in comments..
