April 28th, 2019: The Agreement

Chiron in Aries square Juno in Cancer (3 deg)
Fresh wounds are triggered by a partnership agreement. Issues around neediness, the desire to protect or mother/child dynamics can result in a new and painful crisis. Vulnerability will be a key theme – feeling more vulnerable together or feeling like safety is being compromised. Old family issues can be seen in a new light.
You have the power to say “No” or indicate what you’re not comfortable with, in this agreement. Family contracts can be challenged if they make you feel unsafe.
Every dance with Chiron is a chance to confront what hurts. Especially in Aries (the warrior sign) you are not meant to sweep this under the rug. The healing involves increased empathy but the wound itself never goes away. You gain strength when you have the courage to confront what hurts.

Overview
Saturn in Capricorn and the South Node
Saturn stations Rx in Capricorn on April 29th and conjoins the South Node on April 30th. A return to old rules/responsibilities will be part one of a three part ending, as Saturn also conjoins the South Node on July 4th and September 28th. This will be long process where a permanent line is drawn between the past and present.
Mercury
On May 1st, Mercury in Aries squares the Nodes and Saturn Rx, then squares Pluto Rx on May 2nd. Assertive or impulsive words will run up against authority and power. This crunch (or hard message) will push you to choose between the old definitions (South Node) or communicating in a new, more emotionally aware way (Cancer North Node).
May 5th sees an opposition between Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius and Mars in Gemini. Actions and choices can be greatly exaggerated, which suggests a major leap or over-the-top conclusion. This energy can be almost unmanageable as Jupiter pushes Mars to do something big. But Mercury will make positive aspects to this opposition as it sextiles Mars on May 1st and trines Jupiter Rx on May 2nd. Words and ideas will be the outlet to the Mars/Jupiter energy – talk about the opportunity or ideal and take action (Mars) to make it happen.
Taurus New Moon
May 4th sees a New Moon in Taurus which will trine Saturn Rx , South Node and Pluto Rx. The ending will support a firm, new beginning. This can be encouraging for those who are going through a loss, because almost immediately you’ll see a hint of slow but steady growth in a new area.
Aries
Saturn Rx over the South Node in your career sector suggests delays regarding your career path or professional image. You may be returning to previous rules or demands for proof. Too, you could revisit a previous career scenario. This is the first step in an extended wrap-up (which will continue through July 4th and September 28th) which will deliver professional results or define the end of a future goal.
Aspects to Mercury in your sign can see you up against frustrating rules/authority as those in positions of power challenge your voice. Your ideas are ready to be heard, but you’ll have to choose between going through the old channels or aligning yourself with a more personal energy. There’s something important to be expressed – keep talking, just shift your focus.
Mercury’s aspects to the Mars/Jupiter opposition can pump up your vision of the future while encouraging you to put your faith and passion into words. Leaps into the unknown can find an outlet through your ideas. Travel, education, legal matters or publishing are areas where you can see hopeful ideas grow.
The New Moon in your sector of personal resources aligns developments involving career/future goals with a new source of income, new approach to money or new sense values. Watch for the slow development of something solid – this will not happen quickly but you’ve stepped onto the right path.
Taurus
Saturn Rx over the South Node in your opportunities sector can see you revisiting issues around travel, education, legal matters, religion or publishing. Delays or intensified pressure to qualify/define can take you to a point of completion where an unknown has to be proven or left behind. This is the first step in an extended wrap-up (which will continue through July 4th and September 28th).
The New Moon in your sign suggests a concrete beginning defined by Saturn Rx’s delays. Going back to confirm an ending or area of faith is part of building something lasting. This next chapter will start out slowly, but you’ve never been comfortable with rapid change anyway.
Aspects to Mercury in your hidden sector can see background ideas or secrets colliding with official rules, limits on expansion or questions about faith. You’ll have a choice to stick with old but outdated proof versus new ideas that may be unproven but have emotional resonance for you.
Mercury’s aspect to the Mars/Jupiter opposition encourages you to align actions (regarding earned money, values or independence) with undefined thoughts. Expansion behind the scenes or growth involving shared finances/intimacy may involve putting your trust in what you cannot fully control. Exaggerated energy around spending/resources should be approached with caution, but you can use this to fuel an ultimate idea or unspoken hope.
Gemini
Saturn Rx over the South Node in your sector of shared resources is about digging deep into issues involving debts, taxes, your partner’s finances, intimacy or psychological barriers. Issues from the past (including shared responsibilities and boundaries) will be revisited so you can permanently close the door on what’s been holding you back (or keeping you dependent on someone else). This is the first step in an extended wrap-up (which will continue through July 4th and September 28th).
The New Moon in your hidden sector taps into these endings as a hidden or background potential slowly takes shape. This is about foundations that only you are aware of- the establishment of a private source of security and resilience.
Aspects to Mercury in your social sector (including the sextile to Mars in your sign) can fire up your communication with others while gifting you with the courage and support to say what’s needed in a public context. However, hidden limits and power plays can trip you up, forcing you to choose between old, habitual restrictions versus a new, more authentic version of security. This could involve a recognition of your emerging values, or a new source of income/approach to money.
Mercury’s aspects to the Mars/Jupiter opposition suggests volatile conversations with a partner, or an exciting but challenging exchange of ideas with another. Use any tension in a relationship to add more fuel to your social discussions/public announcements. In some cases, a relationship ending or result may be publicly announced.
Cancer
Saturn Rx over the South Node in your partnership sector signals a major turning point in a relationship, or in the life of your partner. Responsibilities and commitments will be underlined, or in some cases left behind. One or both of you are walking through a door and this may involve a temporary reactivation of a past connection or relationship habit. This is the first step in an extended wrap-up (which will continue through July 4th and September 28th).
The New Moon in your social sector is supported by the above as the foundation of new beginnings with friends, groups or your public image is based on what’s being concluded in your relationship. A commitment can manifest in a new way or lead to a fresh start.
Aspects to Mercury in your career sector suggest professional conversations or plans will be fuelled by background ambitions. Secret actions can be expressed with powerful words, but you’ll also be confronted with the rules/domination of another. A partner or competitor will push you to decide on how you’re approaching your future – according to them or according to what you need.
Mercury’s aspects to the Mars/Jupiter opposition suggest that a leap of faith involving health, daily routine or your approach to work can benefit your professional image or relationships. Giving voice to changes or conclusions that are not completely public (or even fully logical) can be beneficial. Just make sure that you’re fully aware of your motivations, as it will be easy to take on too much.
Leo
Saturn Rx over the South Node in your sector of routine emphasizes a health or work habit that’s reached its expiry date. It’s time to cut out what’s unhealthy and you may need to go back and address previous rules or structures to do this. In some cases a current work or health situation may be too restrictive. This is the first step in an extended wrap-up (which will continue through July 4th and September 28th).
The New Moon in your career sector suggests solid new beginnings involving you career path, dealings with management or the expression of your authority will be based on the changes you to make to your daily life. Addressing responsibilities or restrictions from the past will build the foundation for this new professional chapter.
Aspects to Mercury in your sector of opportunities encourage you to explore areas regarding travel, education, legal matters or publishing. Social connections can give you much-needed information or fuel your enthusiasm, but old rules/dynamics involving work, health or co-workers can pressure you to question what’s emerging. You can stick with current definitions (and restrict your exploration) or embrace a new, less defined but more authentic area.
Mercury’s aspects to the Mars/Jupiter opposition lets you put a public hope, performance or creative work into words. Your efforts to fully express what you have to offer can reach a wide audience – just exercise some caution when taking risks or celebrating. You can push a social scenario too far if you’re not careful.
Virgo
Saturn Rx over the South Node in your sector of self-expression can crystallize a result or ending around a new attraction, creative work or children/pregnancy. Returning to a past issue (or lover) is a way of separating what’s been holding you back versus what you can move forward with as a foundation that you can be proud of. For some, there will be a reality check about what you cannot have. This is the first step in an extended wrap-up (which will continue through July 4th and September 28th).
The New Moon in your opportunities sector taps into the above as you venture into a new area (involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing) that’s grounded in what you’ve accomplished or what you’ve had to release. This is about seeing your hopes or talents grow in a profitable direction.
Aspects to Mercury in your sector of shared resources suggests difficult conversations or discoveries around debts, taxes, your partner’s finances or intimacy. Learning a hard truth or having that uncomfortable discussion will see you poised between old fears about not being good enough versus going public or trusting that others will value what you have to offer.
Mercury’s aspects to the Mars/Jupiter opposition suggest future goals and career ambitions can be supported by uncomfortable but necessary information, while growth on the domestic front can pump up your enthusiasm for more (spending or sharing). There could be dramatic conclusion to a career matter – use caution if you’re jumping onto a new future path, as some expectations may be exaggerated.
Libra
Saturn Rx over the South Node in your domestic sector suggests revisiting family traditions/parental rules or confirming domestic responsibilities in order to complete a certain matter. You may be saying goodbye to a chapter from your childhood or a family member, or moving from one home to another. This is the first step in an extended wrap-up (which will continue through July 4th and September 28th).
The New Moon in sector of shared resources suggests new beginnings involving home finances, debts, taxes, your partner’s finances or intimacy will be connected to the above. A defined ending or confrontation with family history is an essential part of building something new and solid in the most private sector of your life.
Aspects to Mercury in your partnership sector suggest difficult relationship conversations. Family dynamics and power plays can trigger disagreements and you’ll be pushed to choose between following old, outdated prompts versus looking towards a more authentic, emotionally meaningful future.
Mercury’s aspects to the Mars/Jupiter opposition indicates that partnership discussions about future opportunities (involving travel, relocation, education, legal matters or publishing) can be positive, especially when buoyed by big plans and expansive hopes. You can agree to move forward together as long as you keep your sense of perspective regarding a new choice. In some cases, you may be discussing an official graduation or achievement.
Scorpio
Saturn Rx over the South Node in your communication sector indicates a final conversation, answer or official document signing. You may be returning to this in order to define the terms – what’s said or written now will be permanent, but this is the first step in an extended wrap-up (which will continue through July 4th and September 28th).
The New Moon in your partnership sector connects to the above as an official ending/commitment leads to a solid new relationship beginning. Trust what’s happening now – whether there’s a goodbye or a new chapter together, it will slowly but surely lead to a more expansive future.
Aspects to Mercury in your sector of routine suggest difficult news or instructions involving work or health. You may be pushed to deliver a solution or deal with harsh restrictions in your daily life. At this point you’ll have to choose between the official instructions or old/outdated ideas versus new and untried concepts. In some cases, following the instructions can allow you to grow in an emotionally satisfying direction, as long as you’re open to what’s not defined.
Mercury’s aspects to the Mars/Jupiter opposition can encourage a more energetic approach to work/health matters as deeper sources of hope or ambition fire you up. Your sense of security and optimism can increase, but use caution with spending and regarding how much you reveal to certain people.
Sagittarius
Saturn Rx and the South Node in your sector of personal resources indicates a result or reality check regarding earned money, your values or self-esteem. You may need to attend to previous issues of spending/saving or solidifying your boundaries as an old source of security is removed. Too, this can be about approaching money/values with new-found maturity. This is the first step in an extended wrap-up (which will continue through July 4th and September 28th).
The New Moon in your sector of routine indicates a practical new beginning regarding work or health that’s based on the above. A new approach to habits, self-care or service will be grounded in the changes to your security base. It’s crucial that you confront the reality of what’s happening and build on that.
Aspects to Mercury in your sector of self-expression can feel repressive or negative as you deal with difficult news involving a new attraction, creative work, children/pregnancy or your self-confidence. What you want to express/celebrate may be restricted by what you can’t have, and this is where you choose between dwelling on what’s closed versus putting your trust in someone else or looking beneath the surface for an essential (but uncomfortable) truth.
Mercury’s aspects to Jupiter Rx in your sign opposing Mars can pump up your desire to speak out or demand a relationship conclusion/result. Partnership conversations can be positive as long you don’t push the other person to make a choice that they’re not ready for.
Capricorn
Saturn Rx over the South Node in your sign signals a major turning point based on a temporary return to the past. As you revisit or confirm what you’re about to leave behind (an old responsibility, commitment, limit or fear) take stock of how far you’ve come and what lies ahead, especially regarding your one-on-one relationships. This is the first step in an extended wrap-up (which will continue through July 4th and September 28th).
The New Moon in your sector of self-expression signals a bountiful start regarding a new romance, children/pregnancy or creative work. Even if a goodbye is involved, you now have something to celebrate as what you want slowly manifests.
Aspects to Mercury in your domestic sector (including the square to Saturn, the South Node and Pluto in your sign) can crank up the pressure regarding family discussions, investigations into the past or buying/selling a home. There are things that need to happen, but you’re at a point where you must choose between old, controlling ways or using a more cooperative, empathetic approach.
Mercury’s aspects to the Mars/Jupiter opposition can boost domestic decisions with practical ambitions and the desire to change things on a daily basis. And, background hopes can offer a surge of optimism, but try to approach what’s happening with full awareness. Actions and promises can be exaggerated if you don’t openly acknowledge what you’re hoping for.
Aquarius
Saturn Rx over the South Node in your hidden sector closes yet another, hidden door on the past. You are in the midst of a major goodbye to a lifestyle or relationship. There have been a series of closures, and this one will intensify the need to draw a line. This is the first step in an extended wrap-up (which will continue through July 4th and September 28th).
The New Moon in your domestic sector says new home or family developments are firmly based on what’s ending. A reality check (perhaps something you haven’t wanted to admit to yourself) will be an essential part of your new foundation.
Aspects to Mercury in your communication sector can stir up difficult discussions and verbal power plays. Background authority and manipulation can trigger unpleasant undercurrents, but now is your chance to openly confront and discuss what’s happening while admitting something about your daily routine/health.
Mercury’s aspects to the Mars/Jupiter opposition can encourage you to speak out because you’ll have confidence and public support. Put your passions into words – you can reach a wide audience and open up new opportunities. Note that some public responses/actions may have a bigger impact than you anticipated.
Pisces
Saturn Rx and the South Node in your social sector wraps up an issue involving your public reputation, a friendship or group association. As you revisit an old social rule or responsibility you may be confronted with public consequences. This is the first step in an extended wrap-up (which will continue through July 4th and September 28th).
The New Moon in your communication sector can solidify a new idea or approach to communication, based on the above. As your social connections are defined, the new structure will be put into words.
Aspects to Mercury in your sector of personal resources can challenge you to speak up about what you want (financially or emotionally). There may be social pressure or judgments, and you’ll be pushed to explore an area that allows you freedom of expression or the freedom to explore your talents.
Mercury’s aspects to the Mars/Jupiter opposition suggests some hopeful news regarding salary, career changes or future plans, and changes on the domestic front can clarify what you want to happen. There may be a leap of faith (regarding a new career) or a professional result that demands you take action.

Aspects to Mercury in your communication sector can stir up difficult discussions and verbal power plays. Background authority and manipulation can trigger unpleasant undercurrents, but now is your chance to openly confront and discuss what’s happening while admitting something about your daily routine/health.
Mercury’s aspects to the Mars/Jupiter opposition can encourage you to speak out because you’ll have confidence and public support. Put your passions into words – you can reach a wide audience and open up new opportunities. Note that some public responses/actions may have a bigger impact than you anticipated.
Pisces
Saturn Rx and the South Node in your social sector wraps up an issue involving your public reputation, a friendship or group association. As you revisit an old social rule or responsibility you may be confronted with public consequences. This is the first step in an extended wrap-up (which will continue through July 4th and September 28th).
The New Moon in your communication sector can solidify a new idea or approach to communication, based on the above. As your social connections are defined, the new structure will be put into words.
Aspects to Mercury in your sector of personal resources can challenge you to speak up about what you want (financially or emotionally). There may be social pressure or judgments, and you’ll be pushed to explore an area that allows you freedom of expression or the freedom to explore your talents.
Mercury’s aspects to the Mars/Jupiter opposition suggests some hopeful news regarding salary, career changes or future plans, and changes on the domestic front can clarify what you want to happen. There may be a leap of faith (regarding a new career) or a professional result that demands you take action.

April 27th, 2019: Questionable Motivations

Mars in Gemini square Neptune in Pisces (17 deg)
Mercury in Aries opposite Pallas Rx in Libra (14 deg)
Mars/Neptune
Mars/Neptune is confused or undermining actions. Mars in Gemini can jump between different choices, but then Neptune blurs the details and the choices slide in and out of focus. What you do may be questionable, deceptive or scattered (multiple starts that fizzle out).
Use caution with all actions and initiatives – have a backup plan and leave yourself extra time to compensate for difficulty in focusing. If you have any doubts about the integrity of what you’re doing (or what they’re doing) listen to those doubts. This aspect can indicate the stealthy side-step or endless distractions.
Mercury/Pallas
Gemini is ruled by Mercury, and Mercury is in Mars-ruled Aries. The assertive comment is too blunt for polite social strategies (Pallas in Libra) so there may be disagreements. But that assertiveness could be misguided. Go back to the primary motivations (Mars) for the disagreement- are they muddled or is there a deceptive side?
