July 20th, 2019: Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius Inconjunct Vesta

  • Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius inconjunct Vesta in Taurus (15 deg)

Expansion (Jupiter) must be adjusted with the focus on security (Vesta in Taurus). The overall goal is sustainable growth, but this incompatible aspect can trigger an exaggerated preoccupation with more money/security (especially since Jupiter is Rx, which means growth is concentrated in one area). The result can be tunnel vision that denies growth.

Vesta’s devotion to safety/habits and Jupiter’s ideals (about exploration) are at odds with one another, so the key is to make small adjustments to both until they are compatible. You may need to broaden your focus on security just a bit while slightly decreasing the push for expansion.

In other words, add something new to what you have but do it gradually.

July 19th, 2019: Step Back

  • Waning Inconjunct between the Aquarius Moon and Cancer Sun (26 deg)

  • Mercury Rx re-enters Cancer (3:06 AM EDT)

The Waning Inconjunct is a reminder that after the up close and personal Full Moon eclipse (on the 16th) it’s time to detach somewhat from those results. You may want to cling to the intensity, even if the results were not in your favour. You may want to wallow or obsess. Obviously you can’t ignore those results, but if you take one step back you’ll see there’s more going on. Perhaps you need to reclaim your independence, your freedom, your individuality. Looking away will feel unnatural, but it’s necessary.

Mercury Rx’s return to Cancer adds another layer to the above. Yes, Cancer is a personal sign, but Mercury Rx is about looking/asking again. So you’re taking a closer look at the subjective issue – you’re applying logic, reasoning, intellect. You’re not just allowing the feelings to wash over you: you’re asking “Why?”

The Waning Inconjunct will give you the needed distance to view those personal/family issues in a new light.

July 18th, 2019: Venus Trine Neptune, Mercury Rx Trine Ceres

  • Venus in Cancer trine Neptune Rx in Pisces (18 deg)

  • Mercury Rx in Leo trine Ceres in Sagittarius (0 deg)

The trine from Neptune takes the edge off the Venus/Saturn opposition. After the restrictions comes a gentle release and increase in acceptance, grace or relief. Neptune expands where Saturn restricted and opens up possibilities that exist to the side of Saturn’s rules. If the Saturn opposition brought a commitment or official result, Neptune can enhance the good stuff.

Mercury makes the second of three trines to Ceres, asking you to have faith in what you’re hearing or saying. The first trine occurred on June 29th when Ceres was Rx, and now that Mercury is Rx (and Ceres is direct) you may be asking again or reconsidering what you’ve learned, involving an area of nurturing and exploration. Keep honing your message, because it can grow into something bigger.

July 17th, 2019: Venus in Cancer Opposing Saturn

  • Venus in Cancer opposite Saturn Rx in Capricorn (16 deg_

  • Venus conjunct the North Node (17 deg)

  • Ceres stations direct (0 deg Sagittarius)

Venus opposing the ruler of July 16th’s eclipse indicates that the eclipse results will deliver a reality check around what you want and love. This could be a commitment, ending or hard definition that locks you in to what you want.

Sometimes strict boundaries can be a good thing, especially if you’ve been craving security and tradition. If so, this eclipse could deliver a very reassuring conclusion. But if you end up being denied, know that Venus’ move over the North Node says it’s time to move on, no matter what. The future awaits, and it’s full of the authentic, nurturing expression of what you want and need. Saturn is just making it easier to get there, because you can’t go back (and you probably don’t want to).

If you’re feeling unloved, pressured or restricted (you can’t enjoy what you want to enjoy) know that this is part of the maturity process. Draw your line, define your values, move on. Take responsibility for what you want – family and parental issues are key. Remember that you’re moving towards what you want and need. This is not some random craving or indulgence. You’re taking a hard look at what you’re ready to commit to. Consider the line between want and need (very important). The two are combined now, so it’s about more than indulgence.

Ceres direct continues the theme of forward movement – expansive nurturing or the exploration of growth in new areas is now ready to progress. Watch for movement in something you’ve put your faith in.
