Tuesday's Symbolism: A Rooster, Vesta, and a Grand Water Trine

The celestial dance brings the Moon into Cancer today, washing our homes and hearts with nurturing energy perfect for focusing on domestic bliss and the abundance flowing into our lives. Like the weather vane rooster that watches over my mother's pool—a symbol I restored years ago—we all have talismans that keep protective spirits present in our spaces, bringing pride, renewal, good fortune, and hope for new beginnings.

Vesta, goddess of the hearth and home, emerges as today's guiding force. In astrology, she represents focus, devotion, and the sacred flame of domestic life—themes perfectly aligned with Cancer's nurturing waters. Currently forming a powerful conjunction with Haumea and Black Moon Lilith, Vesta completes a Grand Water Trine with the Venus-Jupiter conjunction and the North Node. This harmonious configuration connects our deepest desires with our destiny and the abundance entering our lives.

The universe speaks through symbols today, showing us the results of recent actions in dramatically literal ways. Though astrologically quiet, this day carries profound symbolic weight and manifestation potential aligned with protective, nurturing home energies. As we honor both divine feminine and masculine forces, remember that we exist within multiple overlapping cycles—Venus forming her five-petaled pattern, Mercury's upcoming retrograde, nodal shifts, and Virgo eclipses approaching in September. By maintaining high vibration, we can ride these cosmic waves rather than being overwhelmed by them.

What are you manifesting under this Cancer Moon? How might your enduring work benefit others? Share your experiences and remember that for every ending cycle, countless others continue their cosmic dance around us. Light a candle (though not too many during this waning phase) and prepare for the coming double new moon that promises fresh beginnings for everyone.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Astrology Time, shane here, dailyastrocatcom.
Today is Tuesday, the 18th ofAugust, and the moon's going to
be in Cancer all day long.
This is a day to focus on thehome, happiness and the bounty
we are bringing into our lives.
In my mind, I went back to theweekend my grandchildren, my

(00:22):
mother's pool and her dog, daisy.
Beside that pool there's aweather vane rooster.
It's a powerful symbol thatwatches over everyone and
everything that I was asked bymy stepfather to paint and
restore as a gift for her mymother several years ago.
It keeps my spirit present andit brings to her pride, renewal,

(00:48):
good fortune and the hope of abrand new day.
That's what Rooster symbolized,right?
I wish every one of you thisand more.
Today's keyword is Vesta.
Now, we're going to get intothis.
Right, the color is apearlescent top coat.
Yeah, a little white sheen.

(01:08):
Right, it's actually on thatrooster, especially around the
base.
The base is this reallyinteresting green with this
pearlescent white sheen aroundit.
That's like a little top coat.
Now, beside that, we're goingto get into it a little bit.
I just want to do what I wroteliterally, you know, just

(01:29):
verbatim only, because I want tocapture this symbolism of what
it is that came to me as I wasconsidering this day, rather
than interject it full of ideasand then distract from it.
Everyone knows who painted thatrooster.
Trust me, my mother tells them.
Not everyone knows who paintedthat rooster.
Trust me, my mother tells them.
Not everyone knows thesymbolism that it represents.
However, in a way, the roosteris a house spirit that blesses

(01:54):
the house.
When I looked up house spiritsand deities, vesta came up.
Now, vesta is one of thesehousehold goddesses In astrology
.
The astrology Vesta representsfocus, devotion, dedication,
home and hearth.
Perfect for cancer.

(02:16):
Right, that's interjected.
Vesta happens to be conjunctwith Haumea and Black Moon,
lilith Powerful, divine femalesymbols.
Right, this grouping is part ofa Grand Water Trine that is
completed by the widely conjunctVenus and Jupiter, as well as

(02:38):
the North Node I mentioned thisa couple days ago Powerful,
powerful, grand Tr groundrepresenting new ground, what we
desire, the power to achievethat, and how it's tied in with
our destiny and with the bountythat's coming into our, our, our
, our lives through this Jupiterand Venus conjunction, which is

(03:01):
basically going to be over inthe next couple of days.
So this is where we we get achance to enjoy the power of
this Now I believe that Jupiterwill still be in this position
because Jupiter is going to bein Cancer for the entire year.
Venus will be quickly moving onas she races to complete yet

(03:22):
another petal right One of myfavorite subjects we will get
into that later.
This is a tangent okay.
So look, I'm content today tolet the symbol speak.
We're being shown that theresults of our recent actions

(03:42):
are going to be in adramatically literal way.
It's what happens.
This involves an unfolding ideathat I've been kicking around
that honors both divine,feminine and masculine energies
the rooster, vesta, the GrandWater Trine, mars and Mercury

(04:09):
Still under that right.
We still have that going on.
So, look, is it perfect?
No, it never is.
The symbols are there for you totake from them what you will
just like, your dreams.
You just take them and let themspeak to you.
This day is not very busyastrologically, but this is how

(04:33):
it spoke to me.
This is what came to my mindand what I wish to convey to you
.
So today, our houses areblessed by the most of this most
appropriate manifestation, andthere will be a manifestation
that will come to you that isvery much in keeping with the
spirit of that rooster.
Okay, leave me a comment and letme know what it is that you're

(04:56):
bringing about.
Let me know what yourmanifestation is.
Let me know what your enduringwork may have brought somebody
else.
That is something that's goingto be good.
Right, and realize that.
Your own good fortune in all ofthis.
For every cycle that ends, we'rein the midst of myriad others.
Right, just mention that petalof Venus in the background,

(05:19):
perfected in March, there'sanother one that'll be forming
when Venus is conjunct with thesun, which will happen.
It will happen.
Mercury is direct.
Mercury will go retrogradeagain.
The nodes will shift.
The eclipse is coming in Virgo.
In September we're going tohave a black moon month period.

(05:40):
Just know that these energiesare all like little waves.
Right, attune your energy sothat these waves that come, your
vibration is high.
That way it mitigates the wave.
Okay, now, in 1887, dmitryMendeleev you know that guy that

(06:04):
brought us various scientificthings makes a solo ascent by
balloon to an altitude of 11,500feet above Klin, russia, to
observe an eclipse.
Okay, that's 3.5,.
Russia to observe an eclipse?
Okay, that's 3.5 kilometers.
By the way, okay, over twomiles.
