Cosmic Wisdom Weaving, Sept 20 2024. Embrace Your Inner Morrigan
Art: The Morrigan by Antony Galbraith
Happy VENUS day! So sorry this is late.
Life sidetracked me.
The Moon is now in the Waning Gibbous phase of the Lunar cycle this morning and on day 19 of this lunar cycle. The Moon has 82.3% light as I write.

The Moon is in rooted Taurus all day and was conjunct preventative health asteroid, Hygeia, bringing your focus back to grounded holistic health. Appropriately I was at my Doctors office already this morning lol. Just for a check up - = preventative health.
The Moon then moves onto aspect pandora’s box Centaur Pholus and Ceres in Capricorn and Mars in Cancer as Mars opposes Ceres bringing the cardinal grand cross square the Moon’s Nodes to an end.
This is one big push to begin to take action to make sure your needs and security is taken can of after the realizations that the structures you have been living under do not necessarily provide a sense of safety and nurturing. This can apply to personal and societal needs.
The other big aspect for the day is the Virgo Sun’s opposition to Neptune in Pisces while the Sun is conjunct elemental divine feminine Black Moon Lilith.
Rediscover the natural connection with the Earth, nature, the cycles, and others, this aspect says. I have long maintained that the coming paradigm in consciousness is a re-imagining of pagan or indigenous ways (for want of a better term) but in a way that fits with our expanded knowledge base and understanding. A cleansing of the separative, dominator control zeitgeist to one that is more interconnected in so many ways. A simple example would be the gradual return to buying local and sustainably farmed foods.
In another example, I think of how we work with Eclipses. Eclipses were often feared by the ancients because they didn’t always fully understand them. Now we do understand how they work and observation over time shows that eclipses bring resets of ALL kinds. Both positive and less so and this also depends on your perspective and how you respond to the energies. If you think an Eclipse (or other aspect) will be ‘bad’, then perhaps it will be. Thoughts do become things.
This is true of all energies in the Astrological realm. Nothing is all good or all bad. So called challenging aspects can bring impetus and drive to change, take action, or grow. So called ‘good’ aspects can be missed completely if we don’t choose to work with them.
As others have said, the cosmos impels, it doesn’t compel.
The concept of "impel" versus "compel" can be compared to the carrot and stick. When someone is impelled, they have an internal will and want to do something. This motivation is more similar to a hope-based goal, rather than a fear-based one.
THIS is why I am passionate about you all choosing to understand the carrots that are being dangled - or rather opportunities that the Cosmos is offering each of us both within and without.
The symbols for the Sun/Black Moon Lilith conjunction show this pull back to simplicity and connectedness.
Let’s start with John Sandbach’s symbols:-
“Virgo 29. Pagans purifying themselves beneath a waterfall. (Omega Symbol) Transforming/Responsible
(Degree Angel: Chavakiah (cha-VA-kee-Yah) Sexual Energy, Reconciliation)
You know that the world is there for us to use for our own growth, and that if we do this in the right way it is harmless to the universe, and supports all of life. You have a great ability to make use of what is there in ways that can be joyous and simple. Your approach to existence is refreshing and generous, which can generate much magic power to nurture us all.
The Chandra Symbol for this degree is “A witch preparing magic mushrooms.” Mushrooms grow up very quickly, and rot very quickly as well. The witch is aware of this – aware that things must be used in their immediacy, that every moment is soon to die, but in its flowering has a potency and usefulness which can be employed. Trying to be perfect can be lethal in that it can inhibit one and thereby cause one to lose the myriads of opportunities that are continually passing.”
The Sabian symbol is “A (hu)man gaining secret knowledge from a paper (she)he is reading” - for me this speaks to interpreting the symbols and messages that you are receiving and analyzing and discriminating to seek the underlying messages (secrets). The opposing symbol (29 Pisces) is “a prism”.
Combining these two symbols in the opposition this tells me that we are being invited to look at everything with both right and left brain, using the rational and the irrational, mind and intuition, to process the message of the day.
To put it another way, this is QUANTUM. Working with both wave and particle and responding and reacting to the collective shift and expansion in consciousness.
Early tomorrow, the Taurus Moon trines focus and commitment asteroid, Vesta in Virgo, and squares space holder and Cosmic Doula, Chariklo in Aquarius. Both of these aspects help you to center yourself into your inner knowing to help you to write your new story.
Lunar sextiles to retrograde Saturn and Nessus in Pisces help you to release more blocks, self-limiting beliefs, old shoulds, and old trauma.
Mercury in Virgo also squares Jupiter in Gemini bringing big new ideas and expansion of mind opening as you try and make sense of the shifting sands in the world and within the self. Mercury is strong in Virgo and may wield a verbal and critical sword or two, especially because of the close proximity to the Sun/Black Moon/Neptune opposition.
An example here is the news of the death of two women in Georgia because of the lack of abortion care.
Harris was on fire about this. A short clip here.
I may have verbally whiplashed a man who called abortion a ‘wedge issue’ today.
WE ARE NOT GOING BACK.
Now, let’s see what card we have for the day.
My YouTube videos that I can recommend also are

Remember,
Joy is an act of revolution.

The card for the day is the Ten of Swords.
I decided to use the Tarot of the Hidden Realms and this is the Morrigan. I am not surprised because the Mercury/Jupiter square forms a t-square with my Sagittarius Sun and the Sun/BML/Neptune opposition forms a t-square to my ascendant. I am mad as hell about the women dying in Georgia and the Georgia Election board voting that all votes must be hand counted.
The Morrigan is a Celtic goddess associated with war, fertility, destiny, and death. She is a complex and multifaceted figure who is not necessarily good or evil. Her name translates to "phantom queen" or "great queen".
This card is a culmination and a completion. It promises an end to suffering and if you are struggling channel the Morrigan. The message of that is that this will be over when YOU decide it’s over. It may not be pretty and you may have to let that Black Moon Lilith rage out, which will not be easy for some of you.
The shadow of these aspects is defeatism and fear. Find your inner Morrigan.
Love to you.
