Mercury retrograde, which conjoined Pallas throughout August, reached exact early this morning. Pallas Rx conjoins the USA Moon in Aquarius (note: separating)—especially significant with the nation’s Sun in Cancer ruled by Moon, i.e., “We the People.”
From a London astrology webinar earlier this summer which explored asteroid symbolism (linked description not available), themes for a prominent Pallas-Athene in all sign placements include:
ability to see patterns and employ that in one’s work
detachment from, dislike of, extreme emotion (especially emphasized in Aquarius)
need to integrate masculine and feminine or “depolarize” them
Also emphasized in Aquarius, i.e., USA placement:
perceiving diversity and “differentness”
wisdom from uniqueness and thinking outside the box
