"REBIRTH" Painting
Happy Mercury Day!!
RATES INCREASE TOMORROW!
My State is going to start charging sales tax on all the products I use for my business (website, zoom etc etc), so my business running costs are increasing AGAIN.
I want to give notice that this is happening on Aug 1 so my consultation rates will increase on Aug 1 from $230 to $250.
Any consultations bought and scheduled before the end of the month will be $230. Grab one while you can! https://bookme.name/louiseedington/lite/astrology-consultation
The Moon is in the Waning Crescent phase of the Lunar cycle this morning and on day 26 of this lunar cycle. As I write, the Moon has 15.6% light.
We are almost at the Leo New Moon! In this podcast I talk about the extraordinary links to the last Venus Retrograde where, throughout my whole Venus Retrograde Journey class, I spoke about the rise of the yin/divine feminine and, yes WOMEN. I did misspeak in one part. Venus will be at the degree of the 2017 Great American Eclipse and ASPECTING the Oct 22 2022 Libra Venus Star Point that was at 29˚ Libra.
I will make a quick correction in my next video but I can’t edit an already uploaded podcast.
I also recorded another video on the natal chart and transits of Kamala Harris. I will probably record another today. I really like her chart. Of course, I got the inevitable haters lol. I am more and more okay with it.

Onto today! I am making this post free today so that you are all aware that my consultation rates are increasing tomorrow.
Yesterday I said, ‘even though we are now in the balsamic/waning crescent Moon, the energy gets really spiced up today.’
And this continues for the earlier part of today.
I felt very restless and edgy and changed my mind COMPLETELY about something I am planning. I was planning a kind of ‘summit’ and got tied up making it all formal with contracts etc. NOT my usual vibe at all.
I am instead making it a gathering and all the interviews will be free.
This feels SO much more open and more my style. I may never be rich but I like getting the message out to many people for as little as possible.
Though clearly I DO have to pay my bills, hence the rate increase and reindeer above. Consultations are the only thing I am increasing the price of.
These ‘changes’ and openings are very ‘of the energy’ right now.
And today is likely to bring more in this big shift of energy we are experiencing, more restlessness, more feelings of misalignment to the new ‘energy’ we are in.
I felt SO out of alignment yesterday around that gathering but also that edgy feeling brought big ahas about how “I” want it to look.
So, I pivoted. And so might you!
Today, the curious and ‘pivoting’ Gemini Moon aspects Chiron and Eris in Aries (both just stationed Retrograde) and Venus in Leo bringing a heady mix of fire and air firing up the passionate and vocal vibe. This was very much reflected in Kamala Harris’ rally in Atlanta that Rolling Stone said had a ‘homecoming vibe’.
It was bold (Aries and Leo), fun (Gemini and Leo), loud (Aries, Gemini, and Leo) , and very vocal (Gemini) and, yes, about the rise of women as Venus retraces the degrees of her Leo Retrograde last summer where I talked extensively about the rise of women.
Even though these are supportive aspects and opportunities, they feel quite powerful as we approach the Leo New Moon that has all the main degrees of that Leo Venus Retrograde activated.
The New Moon is at 12˚ Leo which was the degree Venus stationed direct at last Sept 2
Vesta will be at 20˚ Leo which was the Aug 13 2023 Star Point
Venus will be at 29˚ Leo which is conjunct the degree (28˚ Leo) Venus stationed Rx at on July 22 2023.
29˚ Leo is also the degree of the Aug 17 2017 Great American Eclipse (and Dump’s Ascendant)
29˚ Leo also aspects the 29˚ Libra Star Point from Oct 22 2022 - the first Libra star point in over 150 years.
Women/the feminine are rising big time! I include marginalized groups in ‘the feminine’ in many ways, which of course refers to the yin energy, not the physical beings.
Later today we have a powerful mutable Grand Cross as the Gemini Moon opposes the Galactic Center and squares Juno in Virgo at 27˚ 7’ Gemini/Virgo/Sagittarius. This also aspects Neptune in Pisces at 29˚ 42’
Though I just added the GC in and it has shifted to 27˚ 11’ Sagittarius from our perspective. Which means we are shifting because the GC is a fixed point like a star. Interesting. This does happen over tui with all ‘fixed stars’ but the GC has been at 27˚ 7’ for quite a while and has suddenly leaped 4’. Another thing to research lol.
I will, as always, give my favorite quote on a mutable Grand Cross from Deva Green.
“The mutable grand cross reflects the process of aligning with information (Gemini) that is founded in natural laws and truth (Sagittarius), and adjustment (Virgo) of outdated viewpoints and opinions that are not based on universal, timeless principles (Pisces). In other words, as we seek to understand the human journey in a holistic and universal sense, our viewpoints and perspectives naturally shift (mutable archetypes) to reflect this evolution within consciousness. It has been described as the process of moving from the microscope to the telescope”
With Juno representing the balance in sacred partnership of all kinds, this Grand Cross ALSO reflects the shifting perspectives towards the rise of the feminine.
The patriarchy will die screaming but it feels f*ucked to me.
It’s also interesting that I had a couple of conversations about this being the end of the boomer power base (Pluto in Leo) and the rise of Gen Z (Pluto in Virgo). I have to think on that more but I agree and find it interesting that the Leo Venus Star Point really launched this shift alongside the Royal Star, Regulus, moving from Leo to Virgo at the end of 2011.
I will be beginning my Venus Star Point Level 1 Class in August. I have been procrastinating long enough lol. Watch this space for details.
For you personally, if you have placements at the end degrees of those mutable signs you will feel the shifting perspectives and adjustments more than most.
The out-of-bounds (this seems like a longer OOB than usual and I am sure it is) Moon then enters their own sign, Cancer, and emotions, intuition, imagination, and nostalgic vibe increases.
The Moon aspects stationing Mercury in Virgo (remember - don’t sweat the small stuff - it’s just stuff), and squares Black Moon Lilith in Venus’ home sign, Libra, as Venus in Leo trines Eris in Aries.
More big shake ups, more determination to bring stability and security back into our lives, but especially around birthing, motherhood and for childless cat ladies (I mean WTF).
This also brings a sense of rebirth, renewal, and LOVE. The nurturing, warm, kind, and considerate kind of love that will be shown to the self and others. So yes, the self-care thing as always.
Have you noticed a difference in your life if you prioritize self-care as I do?
As the USA is a Cancer country, this also feels like a rebirth here.
We are not going back, to quote the new Dem candidate (who will win imo).
Of course this shift is being reflected in the rejection of the ‘far right’ and autocratic energy globally gradually.
Much love
Louise

“…The patriarchy will die screaming but it feels f*ucked to me…”
I completely agree 🙏❤️
Gen X is Pluto in Virgo and it's so exciting to have a candidate in my generation!!!
