  • Aries Sun sextile Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (28 deg)

Lilith’s dangerous woman/outsider is given a boost. Subjective ego and purpose are integrated with fringe expressions of women’s sexuality/power. A social issue may be illuminated, or you may feel that it’s time to express a part of yourself that people object to.

It takes courage to own taboo energy- to step forward from detachment and make it purely personal. To say “This is who I am.” This harmonious aspect allows you to do this in a way that’s effortless, but the energy of the sextile is so effortless that you could miss it.. Watch for the moment when you feel a slight nudge to step forward and declare what’s uncomfortable or forbidden – something that breaks the rules about how a woman “should” be.

April 17th, 2019: Waxing Inconjunct

  • Waxing Inconjunct between the Virgo Moon and Aries Sun (26 deg)

Here’s the frustrating pause and adjustment (the Waxing Inconjunct) that occurs before every Full Moon. In this case, before the April 19th Libra Full Moon we have a disconnect between details versus the urge to keep pushing forward. Momentum will slow but it cannot stop. But at the same time, you have to pay attention to the small flaws that demand a fix.

This will be frustrating because you’ll be torn between aggressively moving ahead versus being precise and a little humble. The challenge of the inconjunct is to honour both sides.

Mercury’s Transit of Aries: Prickly Words

by  •

Mercury enters Aries on April 17th, 2:00 am EDT. Communication and information becomes prickly and raw – the message is delivered without finesse but with pure honesty. In some cases, painful honesty (especially when Mercury conjoins Chiron).

This can be an aggressive transit for those who like things nice and polite. Mercury in Aries doesn’t have time to be polite – information is quick and bold. Excellent if you have something to say but have trouble standing up for yourself. Also good for breaking through writer’s block and connecting with new ideas/plans/diagnoses.

Note that Aries is ruled by Mars and Mars is currently in Mercury-ruled Gemini, creating mutual reception – a connection between transiting Mercury and transiting Mars. This will peak on May 1st when they sextile each other and will also involve Mercury’s square to Saturn and the Nodes . May 1st should be an interesting day (choices, choices, choices but really only one valid choice).

The alignment between words and actions will be crucial – what choice most accurately reflects what you’re doing and saying? Can you follow up your ideas with action? And most importantly – think about what you’re doing.

Here are the aspects Mercury in Aries will make:

  • Apr 19th: conjunct Chiron (3 deg)

  • Apr 24th: conjunct Vesta (9 deg)

  • April 26th: trine Ceres Rx in Sagittarius (13 deg)

  • Apr 27th: opposite Pallas Rx in Libra (14 deg)

  • May 1st: sextile Mars in Gemini (20 deg)

  • May 1st: square the Nodes in Capricorn/Cancer (20 deg)

  • May 1st: square Saturn Rx in Capricorn (20 deg)

  • May 2nd: square Pluto Rx in Capricorn (23 deg)

  • May 2nd: trine Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (23 deg)

  • May 6th: Taurus ingress

April 16th, 2019: Juno and Black Moon Lilith

  • Juno in Gemini trine Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (28 deg)

Juno’s partnership choices blend nicely with BML’s taboo or unusual expression of female energy. Usually Juno (the wife or committed partner) and Lilith (the other woman, the dangerous woman) are not on the same page. But here is an opportunity to open an agreement up to what’s normally forbidden or uncomfortable. There’s room for something different and the detachment of the Air signs means open communication and open minds.

BML can be incorporated into a partnership agreement if her radical truths are recognized. Consider how these two expressions of female energy are blending today – Gemini emphasizes duality.
