  • Mars in Libra square Pluto in Capricorn (20°)

  • Venus in Sagittarius inconjunct Uranus RX in Taurus (4°)

The crisis between external actions (Mars) versus internal motivations (Pluto) can trigger extreme reactions: anger, obsession or aggression will be intensified. 

Actions may be polite (Libra) on the surface, but there will be an undercurrent of something darker. Efforts to manipulate, gain power or strike back will be indirect, but don’t be fooled. 

Whether you’re reacting, or you’re on the receiving end, it can help if you tune in to what’s going on beneath the surface. What are the real motivations? Surface actions will be a distorted version of those.

Pay special attention to extreme power imbalances (Libra). Efforts to dominate or fight back against domination will be based on Pluto’s life-or-death vibe. The actual situation is usually not life threatening, but Pluto has a way of amplifying those survival urges.

Meanwhile, Venus (ruler of Libra) will make an awkward inconjunct to Uranus. Exploring new and expansive areas in relationships, finances, creative opportunities or personal values can attract some unexpected and disruptive results. Uranus in Venus-ruled Taurus is about the update to fixed financial or security habits. The resulting insecurity/impatience can trigger unwise risks.

Going back to Mars in Libra (square Pluto), we can see how intensely frustrating or hostile moments can trigger radical urges for escape (Sagittarius). Overall, you want to carefully consider your responses rather than blindly reacting. Don’t be someone’s puppet by dancing to their manipulative tune. And don’t be controlled by your Shadow issues-jealousy, resentment, fear of loss, unacknowledged anger. 

Maintaining your awareness is your best bet to maintaining your balance, even if you’re confronted with a ferociously unfair situation. That means acting in a way that’s as fair as possible while acknowledging your anger over what’s unfair.

November 4th, 2019: First Quarter Square And Mars/Lilith Tension

  • First Quarter Square between the Aquarius Moon and Scorpio Sun (11°)

  • Mars in Libra inconjunct Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (20°)

The 1st Quarter Square triggers a crisis between immersion versus detachment. Something that’s been absorbing you requires a different perspective. There may be a surprise or abrupt shock of clarity that pulls you back. This will feel uncomfortable, but the correct action is to step away. Perhaps you need to become more independent or detach yourself from the situation altogether. 

Mars/BML indicates a disconnect between socially acceptable actions versus taboo female sexuality. Since Mars also describes male energy, there is a disconnect between male and female. Rather than outright hostility, there will be misunderstandings. Surface actions will be out of step with the undefined yet powerful undercurrent of the female outsider: the other woman, the witch, the woman whose sexuality does not fit neatly into any category. 

Consider if your attempts to act fairly are denying something more powerful. Or, perhaps someone else’s efforts are glossing over your truths. At the same time, certain compromises must be made.

Overview

November 5th sees a tense square between Mars in Libra and Pluto in Capricorn. The crisis between external actions versus internal motivations can trigger extreme power struggles, passive- aggressive anger and situations that feel unfair. You may not be able to totally restore the balance, but you can be aware of what’s happening beneath the surface. 

On November 8th, the Scorpio Sun will trine Neptune in Pisces and sextile Saturn in Capricorn. The last of the three Saturn/Neptune sextiles will also be exact.

November 3rd, 2019: Venus Trine Chiron, Juno Into Libra

John William Waterhouse

John William Waterhouse

  • Venus in Sagittarius trine Chiron RX in Aries (2°)

  • Juno enters Libra

Venus/Chiron is upbeat and healing energy. Exploring new areas of what you want or love can help you deal with wounds in a natural, unforced way. Independence, courage and faith in the future are emphasized; don’t be afraid to take a chance on something desirable. You may find that your vulnerabilities or differences fuel exploration and even add to your appeal.

Juno is comfortable in Libra, the sign of partnerships. One-on-one agreements and issues of fidelity can be explored with detached fairness. Equality in agreements will be very important. But if there are any imbalances in a relationship, this transit can bring them to light. 

Consider if you’re a partner or subordinate.

Note that Juno will station retrograde in Libra, so she will be in this sign for an unusually long time (until September 2020, dates and degrees below). This tells us that there are some significant Issues around partnership power balances that need to be worked out.
