  • Pluto stations direct in Capricorn (20°, 2:38 AM EDT)

The excavation of corruption or what’s dead/ dying beneath the surface will speed up as Pluto moves forward. We’re on to the next round of potent deconstruction and transformation. 

Pluto in Capricorn has been breaking down old rules and commitments by opening your eyes to what’s no longer valid. Pluto often brings what’s dark to the surface so it can be purged. As intimidating as this sounds, it’s really just about getting to the raw ,often hidden, truth. Sometimes what’s dying could be as mundane as outdated habits or the natural conclusion of a relationship. This is not necessarily corruption, it’s simply an ending whose time has come. In other cases, it could be more serious (like a reveal of abuses of authority or destructive secrets).

Pluto direct means new changes are incoming – keep them in perspective by looking at the reality (Capricorn) of what’s happening in your life.

Mercury into Scorpio and Mercury Retrograde

Mercury enters Scorpio on October 3rd. Communication and information will be slower- paced, more honest and more uncomfortable. Mercury in Scorpio digs down to the taboo truths. 

In some cases, this can be a time of silence. Scorpio is the keeper of secrets and this transit could be about investigating what’s hidden. Things can be whispered behind closed doors and information can be gleaned by watching and listening. When words are spoken they will be strategic, often aimed at someone’s weak spot.

This can also be an excellent transit for psychological evaluation or finding hidden information that becomes a valuable resource. Note that Mercury is entering Pluto- ruled a Scorpio on the same day that Pluto stations direct- this will be a heavy day and if you’re not comfortable with what lies beneath the surface, you should prepare yourself.

Mercury will station station RX on October 31st; expect an even deeper excavation of hidden truths. As Mercury moves backwards through Scorpio’s shadows you will be looking behind and beneath. Taboos can be re-evaluated and the usual Mercury RX delays can be used to dig up what no one wants to talk about; the power of the spoken taboo is tremendous. 

When Mercury stations direct (November 20th) you can move forward with the potent facts that you’ve uncovered. Mercury enters Sag on December 9th.

Here are the aspects Mercury in Scorpio will make (note that there is a Sun/Mercury conjunction on Nov 11th at 18 deg).

October 2nd, 2019: Moon from Scorpio to Sagittarius

  • Moon in Scorpio sextile Mars in Virgo (28°)

  • Moon Void of Course in Scorpio (28° 5:45 AM EDT)

  • Moon enters Sagittarius (7:44 AM EDT)

The Moon’s last aspect before it goes VOC is a motivating sextile to Mars. Careful actions can result in small but significant changes on a deep level. This is the time for making slight adjustments in areas that are usually obscured or taboo .The smallest efforts will have a resounding impact due to the Moon’s position in Scorpio: you don’t have to do much but, but do it carefully. Think targeted, strategic efforts.

The Moon is VOC for a very brief period of time before it enters Sagittarius. Now is the moment to surge forward with enthusiasm, fuelled by confidence that’s based on your profound, precise actions from earlier.

October 1st, 2019: Venus Square Pluto and Relationship Dynamics

  • Venus in Libra Square Pluto RX in Capricorn (20°)

  • Neptune RX in Pisces opposite Juno in Virgo (16°)  

  • Juno in Virgo opposite Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (16°)

Venus/ Pluto is the crisis between the surface of relationships versus darker truths underneath. The uncomfortable issues, symbolized by Pluto, will create tension that draws your awareness to inconvenient truths. This tension can manifest as obsessive attractions, jealousy or manipulative one- on- one exchanges.

The separating Neptune/Lilith conjunction challenges precise, correct relationship agreements (Juno). BML is the other woman/whore/witch and Juno is the “good wife”. These extreme symbols will be in play somehow, even if it’s someone’s distorted view of the virgin/whore dichotomy. 

In this case, Lilith is the slippery seductress and Juno is the faithful “virgin.” As outdated as these manifestations may be, they still hold power over some people. You may be surprised to discover untapped feelings of guilt or judgment toward yourself or someone else who embodies Lilith or Juno.

Along with the subterranean truth of the Venus/ Pluto square, the Lilith/Juno opposition can reveal some interesting relationship dynamics.

September 30th, 2019: Lilith and Neptune, Mars and Vesta

  • Neptune RX conjunct Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (16°)

  • Mars in Virgo trine Vesta RX in Taurus (27°)

Neptune can expand or distort Lilith’s power. The dangerous woman can become truly magical as she creates a seductive aura of glamour and transcendent sexuality. She drifts around the rules and dissolves judgments. Open yourself up to what’s potent, forbidden and cast out .

But Neptune can also dissolve self-preservation, so it can be easy to get caught up in the illusion of power that is actually undermining behaviour. BML/Neptune can deceive others and herself- if you’re using sexuality or rule-breaking energy and there’s even a hint that you’re dabbling in something destructive, be careful: Lilith/ Neptune is not who she initially appears to be.

Mars/Vesta can keep you on the right track if you tune into precise, correct actions that are focused on maintaining security. Acting with care and keeping it clean can build something good. Remind yourself of what’s solid and focus on what you know is correct. This influence can confirm what’s sacred: the real, reliable temple you’ve built. This could be your body, your home, your routine.
