Saturn in Sagittarius stations direct, at 9 degrees on August 13th. The ever-shifting Saturn/Neptune square goes through another adjustment. What was put on hold when Saturn stationed Rx will move forward. The rules, the truth, have been redefined. Or, your understanding has changed, due to Saturn Rx’s intensified reality check.

Venus in Virgo squares Saturn Rx, defining your first task. A deficiency will be revealed and you’ll be able to implement a major correction. Relationships or habits that have been eroding your self-esteem can be tightened up. Or deleted. Saturn is about boundaries.

Venus heads into an opposition with Neptune Rx (11 degrees Pisces) on August 14th, and crosses the North Node, on August 15th. After the Saturn squeeze, there’s relief and a clue that you’re heading in the right direction. As ruler of the Pisces South Node, Neptune opposing Venus asks you to release old patterns of guilt, victimization and addiction. Why are you punishing/sacrificing yourself? Why are you trying to fix something that’s beyond repair? You’re not helpless, and your future lies in the opposite direction of what you’ve been pining after. A conjunction between Venus and the North Node in Virgo points you towards your healthiest relationship or financial option. It helps you make the most discerning choice about your future happiness.

Jupiter in Virgo opposes Chiron Rx in Pisces, at 24 degrees. This is the last of three oppositions, which I wrote about here. The more you try to help, the more you search for answers..the more it hurts? Not in all cases, but Jupiter in Virgo can be overzealous. You keep poking at what hurts (in an effort to understand it) and reopen the wound. This opposition has been in and out of orb since November 3rd, 2015; you’ve had time to find the balance between understanding why it hurts and understanding that you can’t completely fix it. Know when to say “enough.”

Pallas Rx reenters Aquarius. Pallas in Pisces may have opened your senses to a strangely beautiful pattern or idea that you haven’t been able to define. When Pallas revisits Aquarius, you’ll gain clarity and detachment. Take a step back and look at the shimmering threads from a distance. What do you see?
