There’s a combination in the sky right now – see ephemeris below - that I’d like to highlight: Isis, 23 Libra and the Via Combusta, otherwise known as the Fiery Road.
Astro-Flash: Asteroid 42 Isis on the fixed star Spica is a ‘safe haven’ along the fiery road. Insight can come in the form of a sparkling conversation, a moments enlightenment, a feeling of peace and infinite possibilities. Receive this gift by noticing where you are empowered! Appreciate it!
More on Isis: The daughter of Geb, sister to Osiris and Seth, Isis is the embodiment of love and the power of nature. Her consort was Osiris and when his jealous brother Seth dismembered him and dropped his body into the Nile, Isis tried to put him back together again. She made love to her resurrected husband and gave birth to Horus. Think of Isis as an Aphrodite figure, a life-death-life goddess. Her themes are love, union, separation, dismemberment, longing, searching, and creativity. (Whenever a child is born it signals a creative outcome).
The Fiery Road: In the tropical zodiac, the area between 15 Libra and 15 Scorpio is called the Via Combusta or Fiery Way. It is considered ‘hazardous’ in horary charts. The only ‘safe’ haven or ‘protected’ degrees, are the fixed star Spica at 23 Libra 50′ and the fixed star Arcturus at 24 Libra 14′. These beneficial stars defuse the intense effects of the Via Combusta.
The Via Combusta is not ‘bad’ but it can add edge, risk and adventure, invigorating the journey. Meanwhile, it’s nice to have the ‘eye of the storm’ in the degrees of Spica and Arcturus! The Via Combusta amps up risk and excitement, intensity and challenge. Transits here can be like a sudden insight, awakening or powerful revelation. Eyes open. Awareness. Appreciation! The Via Combusta adds spice!
Let me know if anything out of the ordinary happens today!

Hi Kim-
Wow!! My stellium spans the Via Combusta- 12 Libra to 14 Scorpio. Hah hah! I have had so many close calls with cars, volatile people, health- My natal Merc is at 25 Libra and my North Node is at 22 Libra. Saturn has mived across natal Venus, Sun, North Node and Mercury. Now it sits with Moon at 29 Libra.
Aside from lifting years of negative programming- and letting me feel reborn, I have combined many skills to become an advocate for women in violent situations. This started with work and now my friend and I have joined forces to shelter a mutual friend. I connected the dots and have been The Messenger
Kelly! Thank you for posting this. Your connection and understanding of the ‘fiery road’ has led you to help others. My hat’s off to you. Beautiful. For me, with Neptune on Spica, this is what life’s all about! MWAHS xxx
Hey Kim, glad you are rested…..
We have all been thus tested
And in the land we just fested
Maybe we have the peak crested….
So that we may take comfort in the fall.

Hi Kim,
I love the depth asteroids give to a chart. Do you know what number Isis is please? I’d love to know where about in my chart she is but can’t seem to find it on astro.com.
Thank you!
Good question, Carolina! I’m putting it in the post now.
42 Isis.
It will come up in astro.com if you type in the asteroid options bar of ‘extended chart’ link.
Many thanks Kim! My natal Isis is 11 degrees in Aries,conjunct Chiron and Eris!
