  • Venus in Scorpio sextile Saturn in Capricorn (14°)

Today’s quietly powerful influence is excellent for major commitments in a relationship, financial or self-esteem issue. Venus in Scorpio it is about total love and intimacy or profound self-esteem. Saturn solidifies this with gentle reassurance that the love is real, the resources are secure or the values are on target.

This is about the deepest possible commitment to yourself or another that is expressed with subdued confidence-there’s no drama, only an intensive confirmation of what’s valuable. Even if some some things still remain hidden, this aspect says you can trust that you’re on solid ground.

October 19th, 2019: Mercury Sextile Pluto

  • Mercury in Scorpio sextile Pluto in Capricorn (20°)

Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, so today’s aspect (while gentle) gives an extra shot of depth and intensity to Mercury. As Pluto purges what’s beneath the structure, the truths are put into words.

Excellent for saying something that’s honest but potentially uncomfortable, because the information can be delivered in a way that does not jar the listener. Words will pack a quiet punch-carefully targeted observations will have maximum impact, and you won’t need to raise your voice. Also good for gradually investigating secrets-you can slowly but relentlessly work your way down through the layers.. 

Pay attention to whispered insights-this aspect allows you to “see” in the dark and understand what’s normally obscured. But the insight will be a hint, rather than a flash.

And this is only the beginning, because the aspect repeats two more times:

  • November 9th: 20° (Mercury RX)

  • November 20th: 21° (Mercury direct)

October 18th, 2019: Balancing Objective With Subjective

  • Waning Trine between the Gemini Moon and Libra Sun (25°)

  • Libra Sun inconjunct Vesta RX in Taurus (25°)

The Waning Trine enables dissemination of information in a balanced way. Excellent for all communication matters, especially in a one-on-one capacity. Others will be receptive to what you know and will offer something in return. This is light, sociable energy that’s a bit irreverent: good for chatting with others and making random but pleasant connections.

But there is one, small point of tension- the inconjunct indicates difficulties balancing objective concerns with subjective focus. What’s happening today is not all about you, but you still have to integrate a primary focus on personal security/ finances/preservation. The smooth energy of the trine should dominate, but don’t ignore the small twinge that reminds you to consider your own interests.

October 17th, 2019: Go Deep, Move Forward

  • Mercury in Scorpio trine Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (18°)

  • Venus in Scorpio trine Cancer North Node (11°)

Mercury gives Lilith a voice. Truths about taboo sexual issues, women’s power and women’s secrets are said quietly, but the words will resonate loudly in your core. This is the time to speak about what’s uncomfortable, or what’s been hidden, regarding women’s sexual power. In some cases, there may be quiet reveals about a woman’s victimization. Either way, the words will flow out naturally. 

The conversation has just begun, because this trine will occur two more times:

  • November 9th (21°, Mercury RX)

  • December 4th (24°, Mercury direct)

Venus/NN indicates that complete commitment to and total immersion in a relationship/financial/self-esteem issue harmonizes with your path towards emotional satisfaction. The more courageous you are about confronting what’s beneath the surface (regarding what you want or value) the more you’ll feel a gentle but unmistakable pull forward. This aspect says that what you love does have a future, as long as there’s more beneath the surface. This does not apply to anything light or superficial.

October 16th, 2019: After The Full Moon

  • Moon in Taurus trine Pluto in Capricorn (20°)

  • Moon Void of Course in Taurus (4:37 AM EDT)

  • Waning Inconjunct between the Taurus Moon and Libra Sun (22°)

  • Moon enters Gemini (10:29 PM EDT)

The final, major aspect that the Moon makes before it goes VOC is a trine to Pluto. This is an empowering aspect that helps you solidify what you already have in practical, physical terms. It’s a good time to rest and take stock of what you’ve built, because VOC Is not a time to start anything new.

However, while the Moon is VOC, it will form a Waning Inconjunct with the the Sun. This aspect demands minor adjustments after the culmination of the October 13th Full Moon. Your balance with another (the balance that was disrupted or transformed during the Full Moon) will now receive a slight correction as you integrate subjective concerns. Take what makes you feel secure and incorporate it into these relationship changes.

Once the Moon enters Gemini the energy should become lighter and your choices will increase regarding what you can do next.
