  • Virgo Sun trine Saturn Rx in Capricorn (14 deg)

  • Virgo Sun opposite Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (14 deg)

  • Saturn Rx in Capricorn sextile Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (14 deg)

  • Mercury in Virgo square Jupiter in Sagittarius (15 deg)

  • Venus in Virgo trine Pluto Rx in Capricorn (20 deg)

Sun, Saturn and Lilith

The Sun illuminates BML’s magical, taboo energy through contrast – you may experience the tension between Virgo correctness/purity versus Pisces BML’s no-limits, undefined vibe. The awareness of “She” (the one on the edge, the one who can’t be controlled or quantified ) will be emphasized due to sacrifice, fear of impurity or attempts to fix/help someone (perhaps a woman victimized by her sexuality).

Saturn Rx makes supportive aspects to the Sun and BML, so despite Lilith’s disdain for rules, she can experience supportive structure. Focusing (Saturn) on specific details/solutions (Virgo) can help you address whatever issue BML is manifesting. Get serious (Saturn) about the magic, chaos and transcendence that Black Moon Lilith in Pisces offers. She represents avoidance or release. Perhaps it’s time to take responsibility (Saturn) for some questionable situations she’s enticed you into (the affair, the addiction, the destructive magic).

Mercury

Mercury/Jupiter is the big, detailed chunk of info. You may be dealing with an enthusiastic rush of “I can do it!” or an enthusiastic critique/correction or influx of facts. A square to Jupiter exaggerates what Mercury is thinking or saying, which means more Virgo.

This can be too much, or the logic can be lost in the push to get it right or prove a point. Before you insist that you’re correct, or before you’re steamrolled by someone’s enthusiasm to make it better, step back and adjust your focus. The crisis between ideals (Jupiter) and facts (Virgo) can distort the truth.

This aspect is part of the current T-Square.

Venus

Pluto intensifies Venus in Virgo’s love of purity, perfection and fixing. This is an easily integrated flow of power and precision, encouraging you to make the most of what’s healthy/better/cleaner. In relationships, finances or self-esteem, a powerful upgrade is available if you hook into what’s happening beneath the surface. Focus your love/want in one direction and get serious about what’s the absolute best – no substitutes. If you can’t have what you want, forget it.

Venus in Virgo has high standards, and Pluto says that if you concentrate on the specifics of what you desire, you can manifest it.

But you have to be realistic (of course). This aspect is happening in the Earth signs and Virgo is the most practical. One or two small details will be all it takes – delve into the specifics of what you want. Don’t be afraid to get picky.

September 5th, 2019: First Quarter Square and Black Moon Lilith

  • First Quarter Square between the Sagittarius Moon and Virgo Sun (13 deg)

  • Mercury in Virgo opposite Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (13 deg)

  • Mercury in Virgo trine Saturn Rx in Capricorn (14 deg)

The 1st Quarter Square pushes you to look beyond the details. It’s time to look up and consider the bigger picture. How do the little imperfections/corrections connect? You won’t want to do this, but at the same time there will be a restless urge to go further/learn more. Act on that urge and inject new knowledge into what you’ve been obsessing about.

Aspects to Mercury (ruler of Virgo) tell us more. The opposition to BML says that certain details will illuminate problems involving the dangerous woman. You may become aware of exactly how and where she doesn’t fit it, or how an external, subversive influence is rocking the boat (BML is the socially unacceptable female influence). Mercury/Saturn keeps you focused on what’s real- stick with what you know in order to avoid floating off into the currents of paranoia. When dealing with unpleasant truths involving gender dynamics/female sexuality, stick with the facts and avoid speculation.

What BML has to say will sound messy and imperfect, but you’ve got the tools to manage this. Open your eyes to what’s new but stay grounded in the facts. Perhaps she’s revealed some inconvenient details that must be factored into the equation (without panicking). She’s telling you that something is wrong, and this is part of the crisis of the 1st Quarter Square – what will you do with this knowledge?

September 4th, 2019: Venus Opposite Neptune

  • Venus in Virgo opposite Neptune Rx in Pisces (17 deg)

Neptune dissolves Venus in Virgo’s specifics, so facts about relationships, money or self-esteem become blurry. The details of what you want may be vague or take on sacrificial undertones. Perhaps it seems like a good idea to give all in order to prove your love. Or perhaps you’re questioning your value.

Pay attention to what’s undermining the truth about what you want. Watch for the urge to throw it all away because it wasn’t right. An opposition from Neptune is not truth, it’s the release of what you thought you knew. Your first urge (to sacrifice, to debase, to doubt everything) is probably wrong. But what comes after that…

This aspect is part of the T-Square, and it’s tricky. Neptune can expand the desire for slavery or expand your doubts of how valuable/attractive you are. An opposing force can challenge what you thought was correct about love/money. Before you give or doubt, ask questions.

This is the aspect of innocence, as Venus in Virgo’s purity is hi-lighted by Neptune’s transcendence. But with the hard aspect of the opposition, purity can also be a way of avoiding what’s real. The flaws in the elevation of perfection are illuminated.

September 3rd, 2019: Get Precise

  • Mercury conjunct Mars in Virgo (10 deg)

  • Sun conjunct Mercury in Virgo (11 deg)

  • Venus in Virgo trine the Capricorn South Node (16 deg)

Mercury/Mars is facts united with actions. There’s a precise, correct “thing” for you to do. You should know exactly what it is – maybe you’re doing something specific to manifest an improvement, or you’re using your anger/passion to communicate what you know is right.

The Sun’s superior conjunction to Mercury adds clarity and purpose to the above. No excuses – it’s spelled out in front of you. This conjunction will be a result or ending connected to the last conjunction (Jul 21st, 28 deg Cancer) when Mercury was Rx.

Venus adds a gentle nudge of reassurance as money, relationship or self-esteem issues harmonize with the past. Existing rules, traditions or habits support the specifics of what you love. Get real and focus on the details of what you want – it should feel natural rather than restrictive. Precision is beautiful.
