  • Libra Sun sextile Jupiter in Sagittarius (20°)

Here is a balanced expression of hope and wisdom. Social justice and issues of partnership right/wrong will be themes. Equitable growth and delivery of the truth is possible, but the harmony of this aspect means you’ll have to make an effort. Focus on what you know is right for both parties, and if someone is presenting you with a new perspective, keep an open mind. 

This energy is socially enthusiastic and confident, and is part of today’s Full Moon. If you’re aware of this energy, it can help to balance out some of this Moon’s heaviness.

October 12th, 2019: New Relationship Dynamics

  • Mercury in Scorpio trine the Cancer North Node (12°)

  • Venus in Scorpio opposite Uranus RX in Taurus (5°)

  • Mars in Libra inconjunct Uranus RX in Taurus (5°) 

Venus/Uranus can trigger a surprise ending/result that disrupts a hidden or taboo issue. Relationships, values or finances will be abruptly clarified as an external shock forcibly detaches you from what you’ve been trying to possess. This could also be a sudden urge for liberation from a heavy situation. In some cases, a radical new attraction can shake your sense of control. 

Uranus’ harsh, clear light pierces Scorpio depths and reveals the truth about what you love or want. The shock provides clarity which can only arrive when you step outside of Scorpio’s all-encompassing intensity. If you’ve been trying to possess someone, they may be ripped away.

Mars/Uranus adds unbalanced actions/sexual energy to the above as current relationship efforts are revealed to be incompatible with this revelation. Mars will scramble around in an effort to find a new balance point: doing nothing for fear of rocking the boat and then doing something ill- advised and impulsive. 

The old relationship dynamics no longer exist: Uranus has blown them away. The change must be honored but a new balance point must be found. It will be difficult, but make an effort to moderate your actions according to this new normal. Be wary of reacting without thought, even if circumstances are pushing you.

On an easier note, Mercury/North Node says that intimate conversations or deeply honest words will guide you in the right direction. The path forward is pointed towards a place that’s more emotionally honest, empathetic and in tune with your core needs. Today’s nakedly honest observations or deep self-analysis can take you there.

Full Moon in Aries

There’s an Aries Full Moon (20 deg) coming up, taking place on October 13th at 5:07 PM EDT. 

It makes a powerful square to Pluto in Capricorn; a square is a crisis aspect, so you can expect this culmination to be driven by a crisis of power. Aries is the assertive warrior sign, and when the Aries Moon is amped up by Pluto, unconscious issues involving dominance and fear of loss will intensify angry or passionate reactions.

Opposing the Libra Sun, watch for a critical imbalance to be addressed. The crisis of transformation will be necessary in order to correct a situation that has swung too far in one direction. If one person has all the power, expect that to change. If one person is powerless, expect there to be explosions of anger. The trigger may surprise you because Pluto unearths what has been buried. 

This Moon makes a hopeful trine to Jupiter and Ceres in Sagittarius. No matter what happens, the way forward has been cleared for growth and nurturing. This could be the growth of hope, the birth of something new, the nurturing of greater wisdom and faith. 

You’ll be able to expand in a way that was not viable before (if the situation had remained stagnant). The explosive results of this Moon (Pluto always brings a “death”) will make growth possible.

October 11th, 2019: Sun Inconjunct Black Moon Lilith

  • Libra Sun inconjunct Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (17°)

Libra’s social graces are incompatible with BML’s slippery magic. Lilith in Pisces is taboo female energy and sexuality that dissolves boundaries, hints at chaos/temptation and is impossible to define.

There may be conflicting urges to follow the forbidden path, even if this undermines the balance in a partnership. The balance may feel boring or restrictive, but it’s important to be aware of the risk of undermining your ego through destructive sacrifice (via unhealthy relationship choices) versus honoring the rebellious magic.

BML says there is something on the edges to explore, but don’t allow it to tip you over the edge.

October 10th, 2019: Support For The Pain

  • Libra Sun sextile Ceres in Sagittarius (17°)

  • Venus in Scorpio inconjunct Chiron RX in Aries (3°)

  • Pluto in Capricorn trine Juno in Virgo (20°)

Venus/Chiron means that the deeper you go regarding what you want or attract, the more vulnerable you’ll be. You may be tempted to keep what’s uncomfortable hidden while dealing with the obvious wound. Or, you may try to lose yourself in the obsession while ignoring the battle. 

This aspect can amplify the “ugliness” of taboo issues around love, values or beauty. You may feel unattractive or ashamed because of the intensity. It’s a tough one, because you have to integrate the external wound with the Shadow. The uglier you feel, the more important it is that you come to terms with this. Healing occurs when you confront what’s in the Shadow and find a way to love yourself.

Fortunately, you have a nice Sun (in Venus-ruled Libra)/Ceres aspect that brings balanced, expansive nurturing. This energy encourages you to explore the possibilities and trust that justice, idealism and hope are accessible in relationships.

Also, Pluto (ruler of Scorpio) empowers Juno’s relationship commitments by adding depth to the details of the agreement. The little things between you and another and your mutual efforts to make the partnership better/cleaner/correct can be potently effective. 

What does this mean overall? One sticky aspect and two supportive aspects mean that you can handle the uncomfortable stuff.
