The Lessons of the Asteroid Goddesses (and the Challenge of Mars Trine Neptune Retrograde) by Priestess Bairavee Balasubramaniam, PhD

Tonight, the Goddesses teach us balance. They call to us – Pallas Athena, Juno, Vesta and Ceres – bidding us to find Wholeness and the Feminine Spirit through experiences of our choices that nurture and honor our most intimate, deepest selves. Each Goddess Asteroid is linked by way of The Moon, The Archetypal Mother in Sagittarius, inspiring us to adventure as she moves towards her Fullest Self. They teach us these powerful lessons and remind us to nurture ourselves as we seek the Divine Other – in ourselves, in others, and at the world at large.

These lessons come just in time for the trining of Mars with Neptune Retrograde. The force, or assertive drive of Masculine energy meets a gritty, earthy, understanding of the transcendental and spiritual. We are inspired to act upon our visions – will they illuminate, or force realization through disillusionment?

Those are our choices to make as the Gods and Goddesses light up our skies tonight. The Moon makes a septile to Mars during its potent trine – telling us – that we have come, once again, to karmic crossroads. What we choose now will end one cycle and begin another.

Blessings to all,
