Asteroid Goddesses - the undistorted Natural/Divine Feminine

[Helena]

Hi Mary,

What wonderful gifts you share with us, thank you so much for taking the time to expand this matters so meaningfully here.
Relative to Lilith, there is now in my view a need for astrology, or a great time, and in particular here through the wisdom of EA, to dive into this matters with a integrative perspective that starts with focusing on asteroid Lilith as a real physical body and its nodes has the root point to get a 'pyramid' as you put it 'to rise from the bottom up' in regards to women's true strength and power, which is in itself not power through diminishing other's power like we see when the pyramid is invert, but collaboration of everyone's best resources and diversity as true collective power, already a monumental task on its own that's being rebuild for centuries now with little by little progress.
One of the things I have been noticing is the that there is a need to understand just how much and how many times the astrological studies that focus on this Lilith or that, as separate parts, are actually distracting the soul to reach this very source, or natural instinctive self first as a built in structure  by design. Of course each of us would have their own paths in the evolution/involution motion but I think it's very important to collectively not distract women with more guilt and shame and, as in this therapy I mentioned, to start a process of integration by welcoming all Lilith's as necessary survival systems created by the survival needs of the very root, or the flight of the bird away from the Mother tree as you so beautifully put it, so that She takes charge nurturing the system back to its source and strength.

I really thank you for also helping me close the gap I have had as a question for a long time as to why we always find the SN of Lilith conjunct the NN of Ceres and the NN of Lilith conjunct the SN of Ceres, so reverse paths. I'm seeing this mirrors this exact flight of the bird back and forward and the journey's of Kore/Persephone meeting at exact points each journey starts and ends. Now is a very special time, as we are seeing Lilith back to its own south nodes and Ceres's north nodes, with Ceres also at its own north nodes. Would we be witnessing a time of Lilith flying back to the Mother tree and Persephone rising up to meet the mother with a new Spring, which then would make so much meaning that them both meet so close to Sedna!? Wow... I'm sure this is my piscean nature but its difficult not to see how much we are living the myth itself and I am hopeful we see indeed a rise up.

I so much agree also that the documentary you mention, Kiss the ground, can be so inspiring of our future if we so choose. Is not without meaning that one of the results of war in Ukraine and the sanctions to Russia is that there is a shortage of pesticides, sold and manufactured mainly by Russia, that then contributes to one the world greatest problems which is intensive farming and non regenerative agriculture, where large areas of soil are used and left lifeless, which then is a major source of global warming, as nature is unable to keep its own natural regeneration for a long time.
I worry thought that the ones that most pollute are also the ones that would have the means to buy and engage in life styles that in appearance look 'green', like electric cars or consuming only bio food produces, and then have the vast majority who cannot afford it appear to be the ones that are responsible for the pollution, creating in fact an 'eco cast system' based on micro-consuming, that in reality will distract from the true questions, that you mention, of who is the biggest polluter and why. I truly hope people can individually be able to make a distinction between personal choices, which are very welcome and necessary but in essence private and personal, and structural practices that are indeed the main focus and source of global warming and very public and collective. I surely hope we don't go too fast, skipping the steps of dismantling this systems for what they are and changing the interpretation to one of collective, whole, universal meaning while Jupiter is in Pisces.
It's so interesting from what you mention of Ceres in Gemini, that also this is a war that is now being fought in the realms of disinformation and the attempt to discredit and denial (by Russia) of what's right in front of our eyes, awful atrocities and crimes, when the Ukrainian president remains a true and natural Gemini archetypal example of spreading the information and true message to all corners of the world, to as many people as possible.

Still relative to Lilith and what I mentioned from the IFS therapy, for those interested, and since those are not my words in regards to the therapy, I leave the book where it is mentioned, that's also a great source for everyone concerning the theme of Trauma and specifically the brain effects, and specially a great source for astrologers and therapists to reference that's called, quite appropriately in time of Uranus in taurus, "The Body Keeps the Score" by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk.
Also for all things Lilith and JWG's teachings on evil and how this affect women, specifically the teachings of sadism/mascohism relationships and inherent psychology that's dominating the world for so much time, there is a incredible new documentary, not very easy to watch, called Phoenix Rising, where an actress, Evan Rachel Wood, offers her testimony of her story of abuse and how she put herself in out of that situation, and how she has started to overcome it to actually promote law changes that protect other women. It is a very interesting testimony because in the midst of her own total destruction and likely death, there one or two changing moments where she inexplicably rises up to pick herself from the ground, and touches this inner strength that I would call her natural Lilith. It's a very impressive testimony.

Thank you again Mary.

Many blessings to you and all,
Helena

Greetings Helena,
I truly appreciated everything you wrote which beautifully articulated the depth of your understanding of these archetypes. Thank you for that. With regard to Lilith, the parts can definitely act as distractions to obscure her wholeness, and absolutely yes to your point about tolerating no more shame and guilt as a function of a woman's consciousness, and I would even go further, as a state of her heart.The shame and guilt is patriarchal induced, as we all know and try to remind ourselves when those feelings arise within us. Even so,every element of empirical experience introduced to consciousness forms the basis for the heart's wisdom to develop through. Even shame and guilt, for it teaches what that personally feels like, and from its knowing arises one of the heart's greatest blessings - empathy.

With respect to the issue of global warming,your worry about the conditions of inequality "creating in fact an 'eco cast system'"are certainly valid.   Thanks for sharing that perspective.  As far as moving too fast, Jupiter's inspirational light and potential in Pisces may be fleeting, but hopefully its wisdom is being captured right now by its conjunction to Neptune sextile the current South Node of Pluto in Capricorn and influencing/expanding the consciousness of all old-timers, whose North Nodes of Saturn and Pluto in Cancer are receiving a trine from this same conjunction.

As for Ukraine's president Zelinsky, he seems to be a prophet for these times, a virtual Aquarian knight in shining armor. What an inspiration for all as he bravely and steadfastly leads his people through this nightmare while enduring the misery a true leader's heart must as he witnesses his people suffer through unimaginable horrors. All the while, he remains strong imploring to the world for help as a matter of conscience, reminding all of the principles of fealty and kinship to a global community whose responsibility it is to act in order to sustain, protect and preserve humankind's most treasured ideals and values. Amazing blessed soul!

As for Lilith, as described previously Lilith represents the individuation point of the Soul as it separates from the Mother Tree, Goddess or Source. The archetype of Lilith is as close as one can come interpretatively and symbolically to the Soul itself once it separates. She is like the"Big Bang"which signifies the thrusting power that accompanied the individuation of the universe, although for her, she signifies the individuation of the Soul. In this context and in every birth chart, Lilith represents just that, a woman's thrusting power (to mix up the gender thing a bit :-) meaning where her greatest power exists through which the purest instincts of her Soul flow outwards for their interaction with the phenomenal world. Since she reflects the female Soul's primal nature in its most undistorted and purest form, she represents the root of womankind's inherently divine nature. As such, Lilith represents all women as manifestations of the Divine Mother, her true image, a far cry from patriarchal propaganda.

It is this seminal quality belonging to Lilith that empowers and defines every woman's function as guardian of humankind's way. To be a guardian is not simply a term used to help women recover their self-image and identity as distinguished members of society, but equally, as a call to action, if we are to actualize not only our potential, but do the thing most important that defines it, help humankind come out of this pivotal gateway and critical juncture with their Soul intact and regenerated.

With regard to the nodes for both Lilith and Ceres, the Goddess is definitely orchestrating things here because that is a topic inspired by your recent post that I wanted to address next - their meaning and significance. In essence, Lilith is the root, symbolic of our primal nature, where her nodal axis describes by archetype her thrusting power in a state of vibrant becoming.  Like a seed buried in the soil, she germinates and thrusts herself up with the power of the universe behind her to actualize her potential. Ceres signifies the Goddess' mystical regenerative powers that convert the Soul's primal nature, represented by Kore in Her myth, into a fountainhead of wisdom through Persephone. Ceres' transformation mystery operates through life's eternal rounds of birth, life/preservation, and death/rebirth. Successive cycles of loss, initiation and recovery are experienced by the Soul through this until conscious realization of its primal nature arises, whereupon it is positioned at its beginning to restart another round.

The reversed nodes attest to the sacred, irrevocable and eternal bond held between women and the Goddess linked to these archetypes.Through the overlay of these converging symbols, the eternal round between sacred daughter and Divine Mother is given substance and form, immortalizing their sacred relationship within the heavens themselves. Through their mutual contact points, Ceres' transformation mystery, the eternal rounds of birth,life/preservation and death/rebirth affixes itself upon Lilith's nodal axis. This synthesizes to Lilith the Goddess' powerful dynamic of loss, initiation and recovery. Through this cycle,the full force of the regenerative powers of the Soul are applied directly to Lilith to focus, initiate and activate her full potential along with the realization of her Soul's divine nature. 

It signifies the Goddess' intention/desire/need to rebirth Lilith, ushering in womankind's collective awakening through her. Womankind's collective awakening paves the way for the recovery of her role as guardian of humankind's way, where the principles of Natural Laws become the laws of the land upon which human society is organized so that it can co-exist and thrive in peace, harmony and balance to Nature.In short, this is the medicine the world needs right now to heal and recover from its sickness of ignorance it has endured far too long.

As described in both Lilith and Ceres books,it is through the sacred Daughter and Mother relationship that the Goddess endows women with certain faculties, including sexual, to guide and safeguard humankind's way. Through them,the Divine Mother's spiritual nurturance is perpetuated without end. Womankind's collective awakening catalyzed and nurtured by the powerful fusion of Lilith and Ceres signifies that that which came before, the loss of the Goddess' powers expressed through Lilith are in the process of being recovered,nurtured and fortified by Her awesome and mystical regenerative powers.These powers once belonged to Lilith, before their loss due to involutionary forces.   

Through this tightly closed continuous circuit formed by the reversed nodal contact points, the Soul is blessed by Ceres' regenerative powers every step of the way to nurture the awakening and recovery of Lilith's primal nature. Behind every bend and turn in the road,an effort is made to refortify and replenish Lilith's resources as she awakens. For her resources can become easily exhausted given her nature - powerful she is, yes, but easily damaged emotionally because of her innate innocence and purity. Protecting these things is absolutely essential for they exist as the source of the Goddess' greatest power and wisdom that flows through her.

In both South and North Nodes for Lilith are infused The Goddess' mystical regenerative powers that transform Kore's primal purity into Persephone's wisdom nature. Likewise for Ceres, whose nodes are infused with Lilith's indomitable thrusting power through which flows the pure instincts of a woman's heart and Soul. Very powerful stuff!

Since Ceres's regenerative potential at the global level is wholly dependent upon Lilith's development and actualization, this configuration affirms, re-sanctifies and refortifies natal Lilith, enabling her to benefit directly from the Mother's mystical regenerative powers until she attains full recovery of her nature. When this occurs, her consciousness becomes reunited in Oneness to Her sacred Mother, as it was before all became lost, yet now consciously realized.

With Lilith's South Nodes in Taurus, Gemini and Cancer for all women, these archetypes embody where her greatest power once dwelt through which the purest instincts of her Soul flowed outwards for their interaction with the phenomenal world. It signifies her thrusting power of vibrant becoming and what is intended to be recovered,fortified and preserved in a state of primal purity as Lilith's actualization unfolds. Within its sphere of influence, she dwelt within the Mother's eternal garden. Likewise it signifies by archetype, sign and house, its ruler, aspects, etc. in what manner Lilith's nature was lost.

Lilith's North Node symbolizes by archetype (Scorpio, Sag, Capricorn) how her recovery will manifest. Considering that trauma plays into the equation for almost every Soul/woman, it identifies the archetypal elements that natal Lilith will use to help the Soul/woman heal and move beyond it. How this will be orchestrated is shown of course by the node's sign, house, ruler, aspects, etc.

With Ceres' South Node in conjunction to Lilith's North Node, it is as if the Divine Mother is there enwombing and protecting her potential through every woman as it unfolds, holding it up for the gods to bless when some level of fruition has manifested, and then recycling it back to Lilith's South Node to affirm it through Her own North Node. Ceres' North Node sits there to receive and hold a sacred space for her, replenishing Lilith's root with Her waters of life.

So it is like what you describe as a"flight of the bird back and forward and the journey's of Kore/Persephone meeting at exact points each journey starts and ends." As cited in the Ceres book, Kore and Persephone represent Lilith as the original woman undergoing an involutionary phase of development in the world cycle. Now that the wisdom of the sacred daughter as Kore/Persephone has been potentiated following her initiation while dwelling in Pluto's underworld realm of the unconscious, she is ready to hand the reigns back to Lilith. All the wisdom gained will be transmitted through Lilith to support the recovery of womankind's function as guardian of humankind's way.

With respect to your question, "Would we be witnessing a time of Lilith flying back to the Mother tree and Persephone rising up to meet the mother with a new Spring, which then would make so much meaning that them both meet so close to Sedna!?"All certainly seems to symbolize an awakening from a long sleep, while frozen in Sedna's ice, which as you say is like"living the myth." Truly, for just as we are experiencing now, they experienced an awakening and reunion to their Divine Mother after enduring a long "sleep"in Pluto's underworld realm of the unconscious.

Yet, remember that this cycle repeats itself about every 2.5 or so years,  the time it takes both Lilith and Ceres asteroids to travel through the zodiac. This means both becomes regenerated and nourished from the Goddess' power and wisdom throughout this dynamic cyclically. When each transits over their own or each other's nodal axis, they are times of added potency and revelation.

If you are anyone is interested, I would be happy to apply these dynamics through the various combination of archetypes to show how it plays out.

May the Goddess bless and empower each of us indomitable Liliths,
Mary

Hi all,

I am new to this thread and I am currently in the process of reading the thread from the beginning as my interest in using the goddesses asteroids in my own work deepens; but having read the recent last two comments by Helena and Mary, I wanted to provide my own humble insight on the times we find ourselves in.

Firstly, Mary I would be interested in seeing how the dynamics you have spoken about plays out! So I look forward to your future posts. And I have to agree with the point you made about how the shame and guilt has been induced by the patriarchy and how we need to remind ourselves about this, which is very critical at this present time.

My personal experience with the asteroid goddesses is limited at this point but I've had an interest in the asteroid Lucifer being the influence of evil and the bearer of light in astrology and I feel in conjunction with the current transits of the goddess asteroids it can help provide a deeper insight into the current world events.

Currently, the transit of Ceres at 15 degrees Gemini is opposing the asteroid Lucifer at 14 degrees Sagittarius in a full phase; we can see we are living through a critical time. With the ruler of the transiting Lucifer being Jupiter in Pisces, which is building up to the grand conjunction with Neptune in Pisces on the 12th April, we can see how the current world events are showing us the transitional point humanity is in especially in terms of our personal and collective philosophies and belief systems. The War in Ukraine is an example of Lucifer in Sagittarius where Putin believes his philosophy and reasoning for the attack of Ukraine is justified! A report release by the London School of Economics (LSE) also showed that many Russians believed that Putin's reasons for attacking Ukraine were also valid!

https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2022/03/17/what-do-ordinary-russians-really-think-about-the-war-in-ukraine/

We can see how the energies of Lucifer are playing out on the world stage. JWG said about Lucifer, and I quote "the existence of evil is dependent upon all humans, or any human, maintaining any separating desire that takes the person away from Source". Therefore, as we seek to embrace the energies of the undistorted natural goddesses and feminine energies, we need to be mindful that anything negative/evil is but a reflection that is pointing us towards liberation so we can ultimately be free from all external desires to merge with Source.

Namaste,

Rav

Hi Mary and All,

Mary, thank you so much for providing such depth of information available here so we can all learn from it. It is such a joy for me and I'm sure for many others for the existence of this message board and the gifts it has been giving us all who come with a true desire to learn and share form this wisdom of EA, so absolutely yes to going further with more extensive application of this archetypes as Rav already mentioned.

"Lilith is the root, symbolic of our primal nature, where her nodal axis describes by archetype her thrusting power in a state of vibrant becoming.  Like a seed buried in the soil, she germinates and thrusts herself up with the power of the universe behind her to actualize her potential."
This is such a beautiful way to see lilith :-), I absolutely agree and thank you too for sharing that notion of anything that tries to distort that being the root of 'patriarchal propaganda', such an appropriate way this times to put it like that and to see that one of the ways women and men can get themselves free of it is through liberating the mind of this lies and mental constructs. And on the other hand, truly helps grasp the concepts of how the regeneration cycles as represented by ceres connect to lilith has intrinsic (re)initiating force.

Just this is week in my country a protest of young women (may the Goddess bless the Pluto Sag. souls that are speaking out and changing status quo all over the world) has brought to light a decades old system in one of the main law university, of all themes, where young students were subject to all kinds of harassment and classes where the so called teachers literally teached feminism was one of the worst forms of terrorism because it opposed an absolute 'divine law' saying men were by nature superior to women. And thinking this was happening in the 21st century law degree class of a democratic country. It is with hope that we are seeing the main public opinion, or consciousness, everywhere, is saying enough is enough.

Relative to the asteroid Goddesses I share an image that this week reminded me not to forget Juno at a time where Juno is conjunct Saturn and mars, after the venus conjunction too, then ruled by Uranus in taurus, of a Ukranian couple of soldiers in Kiev that took a little time off the war in a beautiful sunny day to get married. What I find most striking is the equality they portray both in the same exact clothing, same riffle on each shoulder, marrying in the presence of family and friends like any other couple, celebrating with a glass of champagne. I leave the image bellow, it's a great inspiration for a new future.

Thank you again Mary,
Helena

Hello Rav and all,

Thank you Rav for your keen insights and what a pleasure to know you are joining the thread. You are absolutely right about the symbolic nature of Lucifer within these times, and the need to be "mindful that anything negative/evil is but a reflection that is pointing us towards liberation so we can ultimately be free from all external desires to merge with Source." It is so important to not overlook the fact that in the midst of all the trauma and heartache we feel within every drop of evil exists a germ of wisdom, an inherent potential waiting to evolve into Lucifer's form as Bearer of Light. There are so many intersecting points and lines currently demonstrating this truth on the world stage as you mention, beginning with the war in Ukraine.

This perspective in and of itself that values the knowledge gained from the dark side of life in equal measure to the light side forms the basis of Ceres' transformation mystery. The ignorance stemming from the unconscious forces known as evil becomes converted into truth and wisdom through empirical experience as the Soul involutes and evolves.
Bringing this back to the sacred feminine, this is a perspective championed by women since time immemorial, when the Goddess' wisdom flowed through them for which they were once respected as distinguished members of society and honored for their capacity to keep and guide humankind's way. 

Transiting Neptune and Jupiter in Pisces emphasize the many Piscean qualities of the sacred feminine through which the darkness is converted into light through the power of unconditional love and the Soul's sense of its undivided unity to the Creation. And those emphasized qualities then collectively influence humans' emotional and psychic states (unconsciously or consciously depending on evolutionary state) and their choice-making as they witness and react or respond to the currently unfolding world events.

With all the outer planets in the signs of Capricorn (Pluto), Aquarius (Saturn) and Pisces (Neptune and Jupiter) human consciousness shifts away from individual concerns to those of the collective, to re-orientate humans back towards that which they must if they are to survive - their Soul or "we" consciousness. We can see all this playing out on the world stage beginning with the global warming crisis to the war in Ukraine, and the players of good and evil involved within it as you mention. All of them upload into the forefront of consciousness everything that the world as a group collectively must manage and change if they are to survive and grow beyond it - the atrocities of war, disconnection from and exploitation of Nature, etc.

With Pluto in Capricorn orchestrating the necessary transformation to the structural organization of human society, I feel its ruler Saturn in Aquarius compels humans to objectify and take responsibility for what has been created in their failed role as global citizens and stewards of Mother Earth. Their failure due to inadequate leadership in the hands of those holding power has resulted in global warming causing extreme climate change and the suffering of untold numbers, both human and non-human. The excessive burning of fossil fuels along with the destruction of Nature's biodiversity has destroyed the Mother's regenerative capacity. Human's unceasing, ongoing and limitless exploitation of Nature's resources reaching now into the deepest wild pockets left on Earth is believed by some researchers as the cause for the release of new lethal viral and bacterial pathogens into the environment, like the current pandemic Covid 19. Saturn's ruler, Uranus in Taurus, quickens humankind's awareness of the issues and concerns about human survival stemming from those failures in leadership, and the issue of values that created it in the first place that must be transformed if humans are to survive. As a result, a growing scarcity of resources is emerging that the human lifestyle organized around patriarchal values depends upon.

The issue of survival dovetails with the issue of values which reflect essential needs and practices required to sustain human survival and well-being. This is where the sacred feminine enters, for she points the way to remedy the situation by reversing course to realign to Natural Laws that reassert basic fundamentals to accomplish and sustain this. One of those things is by reestablishing humankind's reciprocal partnership to Nature. The values belonging to the sacred feminine expressed by the asteroid goddesses provide insights and gems of wisdom to inspire and guide women to progressively lead the way towards the recovery of human society that is once again organized according to the principles of Natural Law.

As you cited,with Lucifer in Pisces ruled by Jupiter in Pisces, at a collective level it signifies the throwing off of any separating desires linked to beliefs and philosophies  stemming from delusion (Lucifer ruler Jupiter in Pisces) and with its full phase opposition to Lilith to any delusions linked to humankind's original nature, such as its false notion of superiority to Nature, the glamorization of itself at Nature's expense, its treating every being in Nature as an object there to satisfy some need or pleasure it might have without respect for its/Nature's own life cycle and regenerative needs, and in general its sense of separation from Nature as this standard of operation driving industrial enterprises whose products are toxic to the environment and those living within them.

For Lilith, I see her opposition to Lucifer signifying a time when her powers of objectification (full phase aspect) to discern her dark and light nature are enhanced by this transit, both necessary to integrate the lessons involutionary forces have taught her in order for her to evolve and reach her full potential. In order to integrate them, first it is essential that she own them (Gemini trine to Saturn in Aquarius; Lucifer in Sag forming sextile) in order to ground her nature into that from which it becomes realized (knowledge gained from both dark and light sides) as she awakens from her unconscious state.

All of these intersecting issues become items of interest and issues of concern for Lilith and Ceres, both transiting in Gemini. Plus, Lilith's South Node is there for many women, as is Ceres North Node. In Gemini I perceive them both as exemplifying the power of environmental inclusion that is mentally invoked through the gathering, categorizing and dispersal/sharing of ideas, thoughts and feelings that reflect the Mother's ubiquitous presence in the phenomenal world. Lilith applies her indomitable thrusting energy to this archetype through the prism of a shamanistic consciousness, wholly united in oneness to Nature and a conscious Creation, where environmental inclusion is self-evident; whereas Ceres is expressed through this archetype as a form of external nurturance. As the Soul (through the primal Lilith) individuates and separates from the Source, it seeks connection through its environment using Gemini's tools as a means to do so and sustain its sense of inclusiveness (once self-existent for Lilith, then lost as the sacred daughter through Ceres undergoes involution.)

So these two states of consciousness operate together, switching back and forth from what was - to become something new, their integration to one another as Persephone wisdom nature. Afterwards, Lilith recovers her primal nature, although now consciously realized as gnosis of some aspect of Her universal Self.

And thanks for your interest in seeing how the dynamics between Lilith and Ceres play out. Basically the process is as described above. When the archetypes are added, an amazing story unfolds illustrating the beauty and truth that exemplifies Lilith's nature, every woman's true nature.. I will put together a few examples, which should be posted in a few days. I hope that is okay. In the meantime, if there are any questions, please let me know.

Goddess blessings to all,
Mary

Hi All,

I want to post the chart Anastasiia Yalanskaya of Ukraine. Please read her story below for she represents, to me, the very essence of Lilith that is being discussed by Helena, Rav, Kristin, Rose, and Mary Blue.

                                                                 *********

Young Ukrainian volunteer killed delivering aid to dog shelter near Kyiv: 'She was a hero'

By Ashleigh Stewart
Global News
March 8, 2022 11:38 am

As Russian troops closed in on the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, Anastasiia Yalanskaya insisted she would stay, even while her friends and family fled around her.

The 26-year-old Ukrainian woman was delivering food to a dog shelter in Bucha, 30 kilometres outside Kyiv, on Friday when she was shot and killed alongside two men she had been volunteering with.

Yalanskaya's friends and family say her car was deliberately targeted at close-range by Russian troops. Global News has been unable to confirm the circumstances of her death.

Friends do not know why she was targeted, but believe Russian troops are increasingly killing civilians at random as a way to scare the population into submission.

"I asked her to be extra cautious. That nowadays, a mistake costs extremely much,"  her husband Yevhen Yalanskyi says.

"But she was helping everyone around. I asked her to think of evacuation but she did not listen."

Despite denials from Russian President Vladimir Putin, the number of civilian casualties in Ukraine is mounting – though the total number remains unclear.

As of March 1, the United Nations Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine said it has recorded 752 civilian casualties. The next day, Ukraine's State Emergency Service said 2,000 civilians had been killed.

Friends believe she was killed at close-range

Yalanskaya had been delivering food to a dog shelter in Bucha that had been without supplies for three days. The town has been devastated by Russian bombardment. It is part of the line of Ukrainian defence as Russian troops make their push to Kviv.

Her final Instagram story, posted just hours before her death, shows her sitting in the backseat of a vehicle, smiling into the camera, beside bags of dog food.

Yalanskaya's best friend, Anastasiia Hryshchenko, who evacuated to Vinnytsia, 250 kilometres southwest of Kyiv, raised the alarm about her friend after she hadn't heard from her in several hours.

Hryshchenko says she had been in constant contact with Yalanskaya, due to dangerous areas around Kyiv where fighting has intensified in recent days, including the area where her friend was delivering food and medical supplies.

When Yalanskaya didn't respond for several hours, she contacted the father of a man that Yalanskaya had been volunteering with. The trio were due to return to his house after their trip.

He told her he had found their car, riddled with bullets, not far from his house, Hryshchenko says. They had delivered the dog food and had almost gotten home.

The damage to the car indicated it was fired at from a close distance and from a "heavy weapon," she says.

Though there has been no formal identification of her body, Yalanskaya was carrying her driver's licence and has distinctive tattoos that were identified by friends. Her body, along with those of the two men she was with, remain at the man's father's house, because the fighting is so intense no one can get through, Hryshchenko says.

"Not being able to help her last journey is very painful for me," Yalanskyi says. He and Yalanskaya were separated but remained extremely close, he says, a fact which other friends also spoke about. He is currently in Sri Lanka.

"She was one of the best human beings I knew. She was committed to help, to help her friends and relatives and whoever needed help," Yalanskyi says.

"She loved animals. We had a dog and a cat. She was the best partner I ever had."
'We will all be together soon, safe and at peace'

Yalanskaya, a job recruiter, had been keeping a daily blog on Telegram to inform her friends and family of her surroundings as she delivered aid around the region.

On Saturday, February 26, she wrote on the channel in Russian, after having spent the night sleeping in a parking garage due to bombing fears: "Now I realize even better how important it is to be able to just see the loved ones whenever you want."

"We will all be together soon, safe and at peace. I believe in it."

Yalanskaya's friends say 'the world needs to know she's a hero.'.

In the preceding days, she chronicled her volunteer work and spoke of her talks with the Ukrainian Armed Forces at checkpoints, saying she was proud of being Ukrainian "for the first time in my life."

On Tuesday, she wrote about helping a kindergarten in Brovary, just outside Kyiv, where 40 children were without food and diapers, as well as bringing aid to a military hospital and bringing food for volunteer dogs.

"We are not scared. We are united like never before. We help each other. We stand for hours at roadblocks and thank those who protect us," she wrote. "We will win."

On Wednesday, Yalanskaya wrote her longest post, detailing her thoughts and feelings from her week of volunteering.

She spoke of needing to drive with the windows half-open to hear which side of the road the shelling was on and to "step on the gas" while driving past the forest.

Hryshchenko says Yalanskaya had told her the fighting was particularly intense around the forest.

"Do not slow down" signs must be obeyed, Yalanskaya wrote, otherwise "you can hear random sh_t exploding right next to the wheels."

She wrote of visiting people to drop off supplies 20 kilometres from the fighting and 200 metres from the fighting.

"The 'hotter' the location you are heading to, the more people there will be at the roadblocks trying to dissuade you from going. But when they see the determination in your eyes, they will wish you strength, they will thank you, and ask you to be careful."

On Thursday, Yalanskaya outlined her plans for the next day — the day she would die.

"I am tired. Third day in the car," she wrote. "Could not get to Irpin. They blew up the bridge where I went yesterday.

"Tomorrow we'll try to enter from another side."

'She was never prouder to be Ukrainian'

Yalanskaya's friends are reeling after her death, though they are not surprised that she was killed helping people, as it was what she was known for.

Hryshchenko says Yalanskaya was a "kind and caring person" and "she could energize everyone around her."

While people had asked her to evacuate for her own safety, Yalanskaya was "absolutely sure she was needed there," she says.

Yalanskaya decided to stay in Kyiv as her friends and family fled, despite protestations from loved ones.

"She was a very good person, she was always helping everyone, she wouldn't do anything else."

Hryshchenko says civilians are now increasingly being targeted, especially around Kyiv.

"They're just randomly shooting people. They see civilians and they just shoot them," she says.

"They want people to be scared and horrified. But it only makes our people braver."

Valeriia Gorska, a former colleague and friend, said "the world should know that she's a hero."

Greetings Rav, Helena, Mary Blue and Rose ~ very powerful exchanges on the feminine!

Let's keep it going..

***

Thank You, Rad, for posting this story about the 'hero' Anastasiia Yalanskaya of Ukraine, as well as the Soul tunes to honor her spirit.

Anastasiia has a classic signature for a warrior ~ Lilith in Aries on the South Node. North Node of Mars in Aries as well, and Amazon conjunct Neptune and Mars in Capricorn, a fearless Soul for the right cause, although at her core she is more of a Peaceful Warrior, reflected in her efforts linked with helping the helpless and rescuing those in need, animals and children alike. Warriors lean on their courage but not all warriors carry a spear.

This is an absolute re-live for Anastasiia, sacrificing her own life time and time again to save the innocent. This has always been her 'cause', the very 'cause'  that has led to her (sudden) death at the hands of dominant forces.

The balsamic skipped step involving Neptune and Mars in Capricorn in the 9th, squaring the Nodes, reveals the vulnerable positions she has put herself in on the front lines of war or in the line of fire in order to save the innocent. She was fearless in her footsteps, she was certain they would win, and perhaps also naïve to the real dangers that existed. Either way, for her, it was worth it.  There was only once choice. She will go where she feels she is needed most, and she has died for the fight many times for this very reason.

Uranus and Mercury are joined at the last degree (29 degrees) of Capricorn and are also squaring the Nodal Axis. Uranus rules her Venus in Aquarius, and Venus ruling her Moon in Taurus, reflects the unresolved trauma she was born with and the sudden deaths in prior lives as a result of her dangerous pursuits.

FOUR planets in Capricorn are squaring the Nodes, this is immense!

Her Soul very well may have been hiding out in recent lives because of the overwhelming odds against her nature and all that she was fighting for? Anastasiia does have Saturn in Pisces as well, conditioning every other planet in her chart, and is ruled by Neptune in Pisces (which is balsalmic to Mars). Saturn in Pisces also squares her South Node of Uranus in Sagittarius in the 8th house, re-stating the themes of trauma and sudden exits. This can also represent a signature of futility and feeling frozen in a sense, given the way things have gone in the past...with so many innocent lives lost, not to mention what she may have done to try and protect them and where that led.

Given that Neptune and Mars are balsalmic in Capricorn, courage can be hard to come by after lifetimes of a barrage of patriarchal domination and witnessing so many innocent parish, although, in this life, it only fueled her on. With Uranus and Mercury forming a new phase conjunction at 29 degrees, and Uranus ruling her Venus in Aquarius, the rebel in her was returning. All she needed to access that brave vein again was for that trip wire of trauma to be activated, and for her to know it was worth the fight. This time she had to stay, refusing to flee and evacuate after encouragement from friends and family. There was a higher cause calling.

All four planets squaring the Nodes are moving away from the square, while Neptune and Mars are only one degree beyond the exact square, Uranus and Mercury are waning by six degrees, and are also in a new phase, giving her more courage and also some distance from the fear that may have kept her paralyzed in the past. This time there would be no running or hiding. This time, there would only be action.

***

The transits of her death are so revealing as well. Transiting Pluto conjunct Uranus and Mercury in Capricorn while squaring her Original Lilith in Aries and the Nodes. The rulers of her Nodes, Mars and Venus, are forming a balsalmic conjunction in Capricorn while conjunct her Neptune/Mars interface. If that wasn't enough, transiting Uranus was squaring her Venus in Aquarius, the ruler of her Moon in Taurus in the 12th. These energies are overwhelming to imagine.


Rad:  When does a repeating theme so extreme ever end for a Soul like hers? 

***

She wrote: "We are not scared. We are united like never before. We help each other. We stand for hours at roadblocks and thank those who protect us," she wrote. "We will win."

and she very well may be right in the end.

Even though she could not complete her earthly mission, stories of self sacrifice such as hers are spurring on the world and inspiring others to act, and no doubt she is influencing others from the other side.


Goddess Bless the Brave Souls of Ukraine,
Kristin

[Rad]

Hi Kristin,

Rad:  When does a repeating theme so extreme ever end for a Soul like hers? 

The extremes of the lives she has created for herself are a reflection of her desires to always remain in alignment with Natural Laws and how those laws correlate with the nature and structure of realities on this Earth. As these Natural Laws continue to be violated by the majority of humans on Earth that then lead and create the very opposite of the realities that the Natural Laws create her Soul will continue to be a warrior confronting the perversions of the realities that humans create because of the violation of Natural Laws.

As a result the types of lives she will continue to create will be 'extreme' as measured against the status quo wherein the the status quo continues to create perverse realities that harm the entire planet with all the humans and animals on it. Remember in Natural Law is can take extremes to counteract existing extremes in order to recreate natural balance.

Her next life will be defined by her commitment to recreate bio-diverse ecological realities that attempt to re-balance Nature relative to the Natural Laws. And, within this, her ongoing commitment to animals and what they need to sustain their own life forms. Her next life will be right back into the very region on Earth in which her last life was taken: Ukraine. Relative to Geodetic Lines of Earth the Taurus zone correlates to most of  Ukraine.

In her death chart the transiting N.Node was conjunct her natal Moon in Taurus, the S.Node conjunct her natal Ceres and Pluto in Scorpio which is conjunct her S.Node of Mars. Her natal S.Node of Ceres is in Sagittarius conjunct her natal Jupiter, and the S.Nodes of her Venus,  Mercury and the S.Node of Lilith. Her S.Node of Amazon is conjunct her S.Node of Mars and Pluto, her natal Amazon is conjunct her Mars, Mercury and Uranus in Capricorn, and her N.Node of Amazon in Taurus is conjunct her natal Lilith in Aries which is conjunct her S.Node.

She will be a warrior again: and again.

God Bless, Rad

Anastasia Yalanskaya, a tribute to this wonderful human: Watch... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHajjmPzx8s

[Helena]

Hi Rad, Kristin, All,

What an amazing soul indeed. Lilith in Aries conjunct the south node, Pluto in the 1st degree of Sag. Jupiter at the galactic center and then the stellium in Capricorn, amazon and mars! in Capricorn balsamic to Neptune, Saturn in pisces, etc. etc.. Wherever we look in the chart there is an instinct to serve the highest ideals in its purest form, a duty to do the most honourable thing, to serve. Venus is in Aquarius, at the south node of neptune, ruled again by Uranus in Cap. would put so much more value in feeling honourable, doing the right thing for her community, than it would at survival of the physical body.  I doesn't seem Anastasia would stop much to think about saving her skin, and I was looking at the skipped and thinking that maybe when the soul is in great alignment with natural laws that the skipped steps are simply blocks on the road that signify how much this plane is subject to man made laws, it is not so much personal, so it will be solved when the world itself evolves. I wonder if this is correct Rad?

May the Goddess bless this soul in her journey,
Helena

P.S. just noticing she has also vesta and pallas conjunct the north node and at the moment of her death Pluto was transiting exactly square her lilith and pallas, rulled by venus in Aquarius and Pluto was also balsamic conjunct her Uranus. She was apparently shot in the head, what a monstrous crime that was committed not only to her soul but the Goddess herself, nonetheless her message of bravery, lilith and pallas, passed even with more power to inspire others to do the right thing.

[Rad]

Hi Helena,

Yes, you are essentially correct. Another way of saying this would be that the nature of her skipped steps are rooted in her ideals where her ideals are defined by Natural Laws themselves. Thus, relative to all the Capricorn planets squaring her Nodes, not making the necessary decisions about her own life choices that incorporate the 'realities' of others, including governmental structures and it's leaders, that then impacts on her personal choices and decisions. Relative to her S.Node in Aries conjunct her natal Lilith this includes making 'impulsive' or instinctual choices rather than, the nature of her skipped steps, 'considered' choices/ decisions that include and incorporate that realities of others.

It is this last critical point that reflects what you said about 'blocks' in the road. So it becomes necessary from the point of view of her own evolutionary journey to understand the nature of those blocks, and to learn how to make new choices/ decisions because of that allow her skipped steps to become resolved.

God Bless, Rad

Hi All,

This is is a great thread I appreciate all that have offered their insights here! Anastasiia is an inspiring Soul.

Pluto in Sag/7th house-connected to the Natural Law of giving/sharing/inclusion, desire to create balance through uniting with Nature and Natural Law. Experiences of extreme perversion of these Natural Laws in past and current lifetimes, and then used her own voice on behalf of those who were violated, the innocents, and who could not help or speak for themselves. In addition she has desired to align herself with a higher cause/purpose relative to a role of serving those affected by societal systems, governments, defined by the perversions of natural laws; governments that want to assume total authority and domination over others and Nature. She did not flee and instead stayed to help the innocent no matter what the personal consequence to herself ending in loss of life. This is seen by the South Node of Aries conjunct her Lilith, the S.Node of Chiron, and her natal Amazon conjunct her Mars, Neptune, and Uranus which in turn square her N.Node in the 6th House.

Resolution of the indicated skipped steps include knowing when to give and when not too, what to give and what not too, and understanding that by martyring herself relative to her commitment to her ideals which are defined by Natural Laws that this can lead to early life endings that cuts short her capacity to reach ever more people, to teach through example, about Natural Laws.   

In my view, Pluto's polarity point in the Gemini in the 1st house, and North Node in Libra/6th house highlights an essential message and natural truth that " in the end the last will come first" in terms of sacrificing her life for those who could not help themselves. The planetary ruler of he North Node is Venus in Aquarius in the 10th House which is conjunct her S.Node of Neptune which symbolizes her life serving as a motivation to others to give to those who are in need/the underprivileged in the some way.   

Namaste,

Deva

Hi Rad & All,

Rad, thank you for explaining what comes next for her, and how she resolves those skipped steps.

EA is so literal, even down to Anastasiia getting shot in the head by the dark opposition. Lilith in Aries on the South Node squared by natal Neptune and Mars in Capricorn, and those skipped step points receiving a direct hit from transiting Mars.

It is SO graphic!

Her Soul really does remind me of Joan of Arc in her own way, in terms of going beyond those limits, and not considering how her choices would impact others, not to mention her own life. But willing to be able to die in her efforts to protect others, and the sacrifice involved.                     

Her story is such a testimony for how she was created by God, her feminine fingerprint with Lilith in Aries on the South Node and Amazon in Capricorn conjunct her Neptune/Mars ~ these symbols = SO literal...so I really loved what you wrote Rad:

She will be a warrior again: and again.


Goddess Bless,
Kristin

Greetings to all and to the beautiful hearts within you that make this amazing thread so dynamic and real. In answer to Helena and Rav's wish to show how Lilith and Ceres play out through their reversed nodal connections, what follows is just that. Since AnastasiiaYalanskaya's tragic death and inspirational story is the focus of the current thread, she is chosen with great honor and admiration to demonstrate how this works. Before starting, a quick recap of Lilith and Ceres.

Lilith in her primal state represents the totality of the asteroid goddesses combined. She is the root at ground zero. The other goddesses represent aspects of her nature that have become splintered off as a function of involutionary forces when she separates from the Mother/Source. The goddesses manifest as projections of the unconscious, through which Lilith discovers herself and her inherently divine nature.

Ceres through her sacred daughters signifies her aspect of maternal Soul nurturance through which the cycles for Her transformation mystery are tended and cultivated to advance evolutionary growth. Ceres and her sacred daughters also symbolize the eternal rounds between Soul and Source, in general, and that more specifically for sacred human daughter and Divine Mother, where Her powers that tend and cultivate evolutionary growth are transferred to womankind, blessing them with faculties to help them guide and keep humankind's way. 

This process of transforming Lilith's unconscious state into realization of a woman' s true nature can be difficult as the Ceres myths attests (separation anxiety, loneliness, grief, loss of power, etc.). I am reminded of the importance for each woman to remember that her greatest power as the indomitable Lilith comes from the Mother's eternal and infinite organizing power of love - those attributes expressed through the qualities of the sacred feminine for the Pisces archetype receiving transits from Neptune, Jupiter and Venus right now, with Mars on the horizon. For that is what Lilith in her fullness is designed to do and be, a reflection, a true image of her Divine Mother in this way.

With respect to AnastasiiaYalanskaya, her natal Lilith is 28 Aries in 12th house where she applies her indomitable thrusting energy through the prism of a shamanistic consciousness, wholly united in oneness to Nature and a long forgotten memory of a conscious Creation. Through its power demonstrating the purest instincts of her heart are expressed her ideals that fuel her Soul desire to be a champion fighting for those who are most vulnerable to the exploits from patriarchal ignorance and its perversions of Natural Laws. Its ruler Mars in Capricorn in 9th conjunct Amazon reflects her sense of duty and responsibility to do so; its ruler Saturn in Pisces in 11th reveals her predisposition to sacrifice herself for the greater good at any cost, including giving her life; its ruler Neptune in Capricorn in 9th conjunct Mars, Lilith's ruler, gives her a sense of ultimate meaning through these duties she undertakes.

As the Soul through the primal Lilith individuates and separates from the Source, Ceres in Scorpio provides nurturance between herself and others through the sacred feminine's faculty of Soul bonding with another. With this signature, there exists an urge for Soul immersion to another (human and non-human) in order to cultivate the Soul's powers in this regard. With Ceres in the 6th house, in balsamic conjunction to its ruler Pluto in Sag in 7th, is shown her powerful Soul connection and relationship to animals. Pluto's ruler in 8th Jupiter in Sag reemphasizes this, where she will do whatever she intuits is necessary to help them, even risking her own security and life in the process. Ceres trine to Saturn in Pisces in 11th reveals her deep sense of community to and through them as reciprocal parts and partners of a greater whole. Her sense of ultimate meaning is derived through this connection where she thrives as a devout protector, nurturer and provider for animals (Neptune, Mars, Amazon in Capricorn 9th sextile Ceres and trine Moon in Taurus 12th) With Ceres opposing her Moon in Taurus in 12tth, her survival and needs (Venus in Aquarius in t-square) are secondary to providing for their needs (Moon's ruler Venus in Aquarius 10th in grand air trine to Ceres' North Node in Gemini and Chiron in Libra). 

Lilith's South Node in Gemini applies her indomitable thrusting energy, again, through the prism of a shamanistic consciousness, wholly united in oneness to Nature with a forgotten memory of a conscious Creation, where environmental inclusion is self-existent. In the 1st house, she has learned how to speak her mind that expresses the pure instincts of her heart without caring how others might perceive her perspective on issues of deep concern to her (Pluto in Sag 7th house in opposition). With Mercury, Lilith's SN ruler, in new phase conjunction to Uranus in Capricorn, her pragmatism and methods will be rather unorthodox. She is her own authority and will do what she thinks she needs to do compelled by the pure instincts within her heart as Lilith.Through its ruler Mercury conjunct Uranus, her words will express directly her sense of urgency, responsibility and duty to take on the tasks she chooses to help others, even if she must do it alone. Consolidating them with the rest of the Capricorn stellium including Neptune, Mars and Amazon as cited, their ruler Saturn in Pisces in 11th signifies her sense of authority arises through the heart of a planetary steward, one whose vision of an ideal world includes sustaining reciprocal partnerships with all global lifeforms as a matter of conscience, representative as a golden standard for just being a decent human being.

As Kristin and Rad detail through the astro symbols, her idealism and indomitable fighting spirit which motivates with absolute determination her fight against violations of Natural Laws (Saturn in Pisces 11th ruling the Capricorn stellium) have gotten her into trouble before with Uranus square the nodes and natal Lilith, Pluto inconjunct Moon's South Node in Aries with Lilith in 12th.

With Lilith's North Node in Sag conjunct its ruler Jupiter in 8th, she will receive intuitive understanding of her Soul nature and her place within Creation and its laws that in effect bond all Souls together as one, while revealing the Natural Laws that accomplish this. Through them is experienced her Soul's thrust (natal Lilith Aries) and power (Lilith NN Sag in 8th) to bond with Nature (ruler Jupiter in 8th) which regenerates (Scorpio) her sense of purpose (Sun in 9th) and drive to keep going, nurture, protect and provide for that which she loves beyond all obstacles and personal sacrifice (Sun ruler Saturn in Pisces; Moon in Taurus opposing Pluto in Sag with Ceres in Scorpio.)

As the Soul (through the primal Lilith) individuates and separates from the Source, Ceres' South Node in Sag provides regenerative maternal, Soul nurturance through teachings within Nature that reveal to the individual Soul its true place within Creation and the Natural Laws that govern it that protect and preserve its way in harmony and balance to Nature.  In conjunction to Lilith's SN ruler, Jupiter in 8th, is signified her enhanced powers of regenerative, maternal nurturance as she merges with another Soul, animals in this case (natal Ceres in Scorpio in 6th) that would help her understand these truths within Creation relative to all this: that all are Souls first, created from the same Source, then incarnate as humans and animals second. She is but one part of the Oneness, as the other is that she has bonded to. Together they form interconnecting and essential parts of an infinite and eternal Whole, the gnosis of which is regenerated whenever their Soul's bond together in psychic union.

Ceres North Node in Gemini is expressed as a form of external nurturance enlivening a Soul's sense of environmental inclusion to the world since separating (as Lilith) from the Source. She will seek connection through her environment using Gemini's tools as a means to do so and sustain her sense of inclusiveness.

Now returning to Lilith's South Node in Gemini, what I perceive is that her Soul came into this life with a burning question, "If I choose to lay down my life for a good and just cause, can I do it without being penalized in heaven, ostracized, or going to hell?" With Jupiter in Sag 8th being the ruler of Ceres SN and Lilith's NN in conjunction to them, trine Lilith in Aries 12th, and influencing Ceres in Scorpio 6th, signifies her intention to get that question answered. Through her life journey, it will be realized intuitively (Jupiter) where she will recover through Ceres SN in Sag the knowing of the consciousness of the Soul's eternal nature, not only through psychic bonds forged between herself and others (human and non-human) that she feels compelled (Scorpio) to help (6th house), but to discover the truth behind her Soul power through choice to lay down or sacrifice its human life for the better good, the ultimate and sacred sacrifice of all (Pisces).

This same dynamic of ultimate sacrifice is reflected throughout the war in Ukraine, where men and women are taking up arms to fight, a choice every society honors with distinction, those defined by Natural Law as well as the patriarchal one.

The ruler of Lilith's SN, Mercury in Capricorn, provide the necessary discipline to remain focused and thoughtful while performing the role she chooses, for which she feels her duty and responsibility as a global citizen (Saturn 11th) and to do so through the sacred feminine attributes for Pisces (Saturn sextile Neptune, Lilith, SN Moon, Moon in 12th ) . Her Saturn is receiving a last quarter square from Jupiter, bringing its intention into the life in the form of a crisis in consciousness, where its realization will set the stage for the next life. With Capricorn planets squaring the Moon's nodes, SN Aries 12th and NN Libra 6th, she is learning how to do this without fear of judgments and guilt (Capricorn) caused by patriarchal religious conditioning and institutionalized beliefs (9th) that disavow or disapprove of such practices by a woman. Their patriarchal beliefs (9th Capricorn) in contradiction to her inner knowing (ruler Saturn in Pisces 11th) dictate that a woman's place should be in the home. For such endeavors that Anastasiia undertakes, judgments would be hurled at her to the effect that she is irresponsibly wasting her life for an animal(s) sake. In this life however, her Soul has received the recognition it needed, posthumously, to erase her guilt and fears from those judgments as the world applauded and honored her noble and brave efforts.

As for Ceres South Node on Lilith's North Node in the 8th : Ceres regenerative powers nurture remembrance of the Soul's eternal nature through the Soul bonds she forges, by virtue of the experience itself, where a particular state of consciousness becomes uplifted into awareness that naturally occurs through such unions. This capacity for Soul nurturance she has developed from other lives (SN) infuses her natal Ceres and Pluto, its ruler, with its wisdom, which Lilith and her North Node will learn from. In this way, she can become empowered to be her own master (Capricorn) from a Soul perspective, an adept, by choice, free of all patriarchal conditioning and guilt, to lay down her life for the sake of goodness and light.

So the question (Lilith SN in Gemini 1st house) about laying down her life for others' benefit becomes answered. Ceres NN in Gemini, facilitated through natal Ceres and its ruler Pluto in Sag, signifies how her regenerative powers nurture this knowing as gnosis of her inclusiveness to the true Reality belonging to the eternal Soul. That yes, she can do this (Sun in Capricorn inconjunct Lilith SN and Ceres NN in Gemini) without negative repercussions, reprisals and guilt if it serves the greater good. Therein, the Mother's archetype of sacrifice (Pisces) that at all levels births, sustains and regenerates Creation is given human form through this wonderful, giving and blessed Soul, her sacred daughter Anastasiia. In this way, this aspect of Lilith's primal nature becomes realized.

This is restated through its intended integration shown by her Moon in Taurus 12th on the Ascendent trine to the Capricorn stellium including Neptune itself and sextile to Saturn in Pisces in 11th ruled by Neptune. The Moon's ruler, Venus in Aquarius, allows her to objectify this need to know from within the intuitive depths of her Soul and integrate its truth (Venus grand air trine between Ceres NN in Gemini and Chiron in Libra) which has caused her such grief and trauma (its ruler Uranus 10th square Lilith, Moon's Nodes) in past lives.

And finally that her way of giving, sharing and including, symbolized by the Moon's North Node in Libra in 6th (ruler Venus in Aquarius and Pluto in Sag in 7th ), of laying down her life for an other's benefit (Saturn inconjunct to Moon's North Node in Libra with Pallas (archetype of warrior of wisdom who fights just causes as protectress of her people and kin, human and non human alike), Chiron (wounding about her social incompatibility because of her nature, its own SN conjunct Moon's SN) and Vesta, becomes an inspiration that brilliantly, radiantly, and eternally (Vesta) will shine on to inspire others (human and non-human alike) living by the same principles as she on precious Mother Earth.

Blessing to all,
Mary

Hi All,

Here is the chart for Oliwia Dabrowska who in now helping in doing what she can for Ukrainian refugees.

                                                                           ************

Girl in the Red Coat From 'Schindler's List' Aiding Ukrainian Refugees

By Emma Nolan
Newsweek
4/5/2022

The woman who famously played a young girl in the movie Schindler's List is working as a volunteer helping Ukrainian refugees in Poland.

Oliwia Dabrowska starred as the "girl in the red coat" in Steven Spielberg's 1993 film about the Holocaust when she was just three years old.

Now, aged 32 and working as a copywriter, Dabrowska has become a real-life hero, offering aid to Ukrainians fleeing their war-torn country.

"She was always the symbol of hope. Let her be it again," Dabrowska said in a post on Instagram with a still from the film.

The coat of Dabrowska's character is the only flash of color in the black and white Oscar-winning drama, with the little Jewish girl representing the innocence of her people being slaughtered.

The former actress, who is from Krakow, Poland, told her followers on Instagram she was leading a group of volunteers who are providing aid to refugees as they arrive at the Polish border and has confirmed that she has found homes for a number of fleeing families.

On March 13, she posted a photo of herself standing near coaches wearing a high vis jacket.

"Today Russia bombed Yavoriv. Only 20 kilometers from Poland. So close! I'm scared, but that only motivates me more to help refugees," she wrote.

"What about this family? Well, usually we transport refugees in our area, but this time we couldn't just say 'no.' They were desperate to get to their sister. Those kids... my God, I can barely hold back my tears."

In a Livestream posted to Instagram on March 14, Dabrowska said: "I don't wait for things and no one from our group of volunteers wants to hear thank you, we just do our job.

"The people need help and we give them help. I really care about every single person on the border.

"I found a home for ten families, also... I can't count how many transports for refugees from the border to mostly Krakow...and other places in Poland," she added.

"I will do everything I can, I will never forget these people, those faces, those eyes, I will never forget what I've seen.

"You can't prepare for that, you can only imagine there will be suffering people, children, old people, the sick."

Dabrowska has been receiving messages of support from people all over the world and said that she is "exhausted" but "still full of energy to help."

In Schindler's List, Liam Neeson plays Oskar Schindler who witnesses the young girl in her coat walk through terrified crowds in the Krakow ghetto in 1943 before later spotting her dead body on a cart.

It is witnessing this horror that prompts Schindler to draw up a list of workers who he can save from the concentration camps. The real-life Schindler is credited with saving more than 1,200 Jews from the Holocaust.

Dabrowska spoke about the effect that starring in the movie had on her in a 2013 interview, revealing she was "horrified" when she watched the film.

"It was too horrible. I could not understand much, but I was sure that I didn't want to watch ever again in my life," she told The Times.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has confirmed that more than 10 million people have now fled their homes in Ukraine because of the Russian invasion in what is in one of the largest humanitarian crises in decades.

It reported that over 2.3 million Ukrainian refugees have crossed the border into Poland, with others fleeing to Romania, Moldova and Hungary.

Her natal Lilith is 14 Scorpio, N.Node 27 Sagittarius, S.Node 16 Gemini. Her natal Amazon is 5 Sagittarius, N.Node 26 Taurus, and the S.Node is 16 Scorpio.

Hi Mary and all,

I have been catching up with all the posts today. I have to say that the amount of invaluable information that is shared here just blows my mind! I feel like I grow every time I come onto this MB, so thank you all! I hope I can provide something similar too.

Thank you Helena and Mary for your comments on my Lucifer post. It is easy to forget there is a light side to the darker Lucifer energies, which is to bring to light the natural goddess energies. With the current transit of Pluto in Capricorn we can see how we are all being pushed to seek self-mastery and responsibility for this natural way of being and remembering this once again. It can be easy for us to turn around and blame the patriarchy and the repression the feminine has experienced but that won't provide the healing that is needed on Earth. And we have seen that Anastasiia Yalanskaya was one such Soul who stepped into her power in a peaceful way.

Mary, your analysis of Anastasiia Yalanskaya's chart was extremely insightful, to the point I am sure to read it again and absorb as there was so much valuable information for me to learn from, so thank you again!

Just adding onto what everyone else has mentioned, is the fact that Anastasiia came into this lifetime with a desire to step into her own power where she could make her own decisions (PPP is in the 1st house Gemini). With the natal Pluto conjunct the SN of Mars in Sagittarius in the 7th house, we see a Soul who has in the past tried to follow her natural warrior instincts in a peaceful way, being considerate of others. Like Kristin mentioned, she was a peaceful warrior and she may have had lifetimes where she may have been forced because of society around her to not follow her truth (ruler of her SN of the Moon is Mars in the 9th house Capricorn). We can also see that with the SN of the Moon also conjunct her Lilith at 28 degrees, at a balsamic conjunction in the 12th house, we see that she was looking to close the cycle of patterns from prior lifetimes where she has been repressed in following her beliefs by patriarchal ways/societies she was born into (Mars in the 9th house Capricorn).

The goal for her would always have been about following her core truth, no matter what others thought and taking action where she felt she needed to and not to be controlled by others. One of her truths was to treat all living beings as one (Pluto in Sagittarius in the 7th house) because she understood the oneness of creation (Lilith in the 12th house). Like Kristin mentioned, she was in a re-live situation where she has sacrificed herself to help the innocent before. She had a natural and deep understanding of the daemon archetype and with Ceres in 6th house Scorpio in conjunction with her Pluto; she was never going to abandon the animals, even to save herself! With her skipped steps resolution node being the NN of the Moon in the 6th house Libra, she was always going to include animals (6th house). Deva explained her skipped steps signature, and I'd like to add that with the ruler of the NN of the Moon being Venus in the 10th house Aquarius, she showed the world that by following her value system she could be of service to a greater cause and an advocate of peace (Libra) over war (Mars).

Rad – thank you for the chart of Oliwia Dabrowska which I will look into over the next few days and provide my insights.

Namaste,

Rav.
