Crawling out of my cave to share this illustration of the "Virgin Goddesses" from Greek and Roman Mythology (Hestia/Vesta, Athena/Minerva, & Artemis/Diana)

Hestia, first and last, sacred goddess of hearth and home

I call upon you to protect the domestic worker - those who do the thankless work of caring for children and cleaning homes. May they be honored and rewarded.

O Hestia protect the migrant - those who leave the familiarity of their own homes and loved ones in search of a better life to support their families. May they be honored and rewarded.

Eternal Hestia may you protect those so often overlooked by society - the dishwashers, cooks, landscapers, nannies, maids, construction workers, and all those whose toil is used to build and maintain homes and society without thanks. May they be honored and rewarded.

For my women in astro community, when you have your period in the month, it might be more stable the month of your Sun transit over 2nd, 5th, 7th, 9th house. You may feel less cramps. So if you have Sagittarius over the 2nd house, your period is more stable in the month of December.

First house planets degrees also show the people you were meant to meet in this lifetime. For example, Part of Fortune in the 1st house at a Gemini (27) degree shows, you were meant to cross paths, meet Gemini Sun.

Part of Fortune also shows your happiness, ease, alignment or when you were in the right place at the right time.

Lilith also shows karmic sexual or power dynamics that you are likely to experience with the Sun sign of your Lilith.

Vesta can describe the circumstances of losing your virginity, but it can also indicate celibacy.

Ceres shows how you nurture others and how you wish to be nurtured in return. But it also shows healing, parenting, dependency, abandonment issues, lessons about giving and receiving care, attachment and separation.

Asteroid Briede shows your engagement, but it also shows your behaviour as an archetype as a briede to be, it shows your marriage energy. So your identity shift into a briede.

Asteroid Groom shows how you embody the partner role in committed relationships. For example, Gemini Groom can become more anxious when in a partnership, Aquarius Groom more chaotic, random, unstable or unpredictable etc.

I notice with late degrees, look at the minutes as well, you could have Pluto at 4 degrees, 56 minutes, which indicates you relate more to Pluto at a Leo degree (5 degree already), not Pluto at 4 degree.

With Chiron in Retrograde you may not fully understand the extent of your wounds and past hurts. You may not be aware of some of your wounds.

In a Synastry chart, Moon aspecting someone's Mercury can indicate delayed emotional clarity. You might realize much later that you have feelings for this person.

If you have 6th house Venus, you often become the emotional caretaker in your partnership, which could leave you emotionally drained in the long run. Even when you don't want to.

Capricorn Risings can have their rebel phase in their late 30s, 40s.

Aries Saturn don't trust themselves when younger, their self-trust develops slowly, but with time.

Aries and Scorpio Moons are really fast thinkers. I notice Moon in quick reacting signs are often people who think really fast. Capricorn Moon, Taurus Moon process thoughts much slower.

Aries Moons love small victories over time more than praise.

Soft Life Coded Placements: Treating oneself is not just self care, it's a devotional act. A receiving channel. This invites flow knowing we are worthy, even when we are not producing, performing, or pleasing. Every soul deserves softness, but these placements may already carry that remembering.
