Mary's Foundation at 20Leo30 conjunct Mary's Splendor at 22Leo15, in the astrological First House of endeavors and projects. The conjunction of Mary's Foundation creates a sense of self-consciousness with Mary's Splendor so close by, as the mode of interpreting the world and expressing oneself (Mercury) blends with the emotional ground of the personality.

The waning crescent moon is always an emotionally sentimental time for me, for I was born with Mary's Glory (Sun) in Sagittarius with Mary's Splendor (Mercury) conjunct Mary's Foundation (Moon) at 29Scorpio. Although the Sun was parallel Mary's Word (Uranus) at 18Sagittarius at my birth, and Mary's Word is now at 27Taurus15 trine Venus at 3Libra27.

Now is quite a special time for those born near the Virgo/Libra, Taurus/Gemini, or Capricorn/Aquarius cusps, for there is a grand trine between Mary's Victory (Venus), Mary's Word (Uranus), and Mary's Cross (Pluto).

But what is Mary's Victory but the peace to be had in doing the Will of God, who nevertheless was both her Father and her Son? What is Mary's Word but "Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it done unto me according to thy word"? What is Mary's Cross but watching her Son be flagellated and then crucified?

Now is a very special time for us all, even if we did not enter the world on January 20-22, May 20-22, or September 22-24. But for those who did, know that God is smiling on you, drawing you to Himself just as He did Mary. That is, of course, if we harken to the whisperings of the Spirit, and seek to obey God's commands. At this time, more than any other, the alternative is madness, decadence, and self-sabotage.

May the Lord bless you and keep you.

May the Lord let His face shine upon you and be gracious to you

May the Lord look upon you kindly and give you peace.

Amen
