Divine Alignment: Humanity, Mercury & the Sacred Feminine
Our Moon went into Cancer on Sunday, May 24th at 7:07pm EST and shifts to O degrees Leo, on May 27th at 2:31 am EST. If you’ve been swimming in feels, that’s expected, with the Moon cycling through its native realm of Cancer. Heightened intuition, exploration of the subconscious and vivid dreams are on the fore when we have pronounced Cancerian transits.
Vesta and Mercury linked up on May 22nd and stay connected through Thursday, May 28th in the realm of Gemini, providing us pronounced mental clarity to embrace the Sacred Feminine. Our Nodal soul path also meets up with Mercury on May 25th at 3:31am EST at 25 degrees of Gemini and stays in close reception through Thursday, May 28, at 1:59pm EST. These two frequencies close their tour through Gemini at the same 29th degree, making for a potent exit. Vesta who has been conjunct Venus since March 24, 2020, is still in close reception to our planet of Love, as well as our brilliant Sun. Venus is currently retrograde, which simply indicates a “review,” of the energy indicated, so perhaps this is a time to review what’s in our hearts, with Gemini of course, asking “Why?” This divine alignment of Venus, Mercury, Vesta and the North Node is my favorite in our collective chart that I see through Thursday. This is a potent opportunity for engaging in thought processes related to the Sacred Feminine. Such exploration is open to everyone, as further indicated by our North Node anchoring this beautiful sequence of energy. This cosmic gateway ushers us from the realm of “me” to “we,” which we see in the classical Tarot, where Gemini is represented by “the Lovers” and in astrology, is known as “the Twins.” Gemini is the realm of sharing, as expressed by ideas, logic, facts, writing, speaking and music. Vesta is the realm of Sacred Feminine Service. Venus also imbues our planet with energy of the Divine Feminine and in while touring Gemini and in close reception to Vesta, she asks us to review our thoughts, ideas and stories related to the Sacred Feminine. The Sun is our fullest expression and supports our inquiries into this Sacred Realm. Here, we can shine. Our collective Nodal soul path embraces everyone, as this is the cosmic gateway being experienced by all beings on earth at this time. So everyone is invited and everyone is privy to receive the blessings that result in such participation. As we explore our relationship with the Sacred Feminine, Vesta can support our realms of community (Gemini) and bring us into our fullest selves (Sun), may we be guided by the logical reasoning (Mercury) of past, present and future knowings, so that we may manifest the most evolved expressions of this energy, for all to receive.
Remains of the Temple of Vesta, where Vestal Virgins lived in Sacred Service for 30 years, after which, they continued to receive distinguished status in society. Our current Mercury transit encourages us to ponder such relics. The presence of structures dedicated to the Sacred Feminine is real, so what were their fuller meanings before our time and what is their relevance today?
This is the symbol of Mercury, which I love for its representation of transformational and healing energies, depicted by the two snakes entwined, as well as the flame atop; which to me, always symbolises purification and also parallels the sacred flame of Vesta.
