A new Patreon post (for $1 Patrons) is up – Mars’ transit of Pisces and the two major aspects to be aware of.

Venus in Libra inconjunct Chiron Rx in Pisces (27 deg)
Venus in Libra square the North Node in Cancer/South Node in Capricorn (28 deg)
Venus in Libra square the Nodes is a pivotal relationship issue. There will be a choice between sticking with old rules/limits/expressions of authority (South Node) or progressing towards something that is more intuitive, nurturing and in line with authentic needs. It may be about getting past the superficial shell of status and tuning into the real emotions.
Venus’ inconjunct to Chiron Rx indicates that this will be a touch painful. You may be tempted to gloss over a reoccurring wound (Venus also made an inconjunct to Chiron on November 3rd) but dealing with this is part of your progress towards the North Node. Chiron will make an exact trine with the North Node on December 2nd, but you can certainly make use of this energy now- move towards a place of emotional authenticity by acknowledging what hurts. In the process, you can forgive, release, heal, sooth. And this may correct an imbalance in your relationships.

Vesta conjunct the Capricorn South Node (28 deg)
Waning Trine
The Waning Trine allows you to share your talents or a creation that you’re proud of. Something special can be displayed or communicated, and others will be receptive. The energy is hopeful, forward-looking and vibrant.
This will involve the Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction (with Jupiter) which marks the midpoint of the Mercury’s retrograde (since Nov 16th) – here is a point of clarity that involves a reward or greater wisdom. Mercury Rx’s delays and reviews can deliver some benefits or open your eyes to something better. And this is what you’ll be sharing with others, or they will be sharing with you.
If you’ve been waiting for an answer or hint about what you’re supposed to do next, this could be it. Keep in mind that Mercury is still Rx, so the process is not complete. But this should mark a positive turning point.
Vesta
Vesta/South Node hi-lights a point of exclusive focus (or obsession). This could be something from the past, or an issue that’s ready to be developed further. It may involve rules, limits, traditions or authority. Now is the moment to finish it and move on – you can either stop focusing on it or see the results of what you’ve been devoting your energy to.
Sagittarius Sun conjunct Jupiter (3 deg)
Mercury Rx in Sagittarius square Mars in Pisces (6 deg)
An enthusiastic day with Sun/Jupiter energizing new possibilities, ideals and hope. This is the big promise or the reason to have faith. The “why not” moment. Adding to this, Mercury in Sag makes an energetic square to Mars, encouraging forceful communication and action-driven words.
However, note that Mercury is Rx, so this will not be the final word. And Mars in Pisces can be vague as actions slide off in unexpected directions. This aspect is best used to energize a review, question or second look at a previous issue. Sun/Jupiter will encourage you to reach further, but Mercury Rx/Mars can see you distracted by an old issue that turns into an argument or frustrating search.
Focus may be scattered, as new and old possibilities vie for your attention.
Remind yourself that the story is not complete, and you can’t force anything (especially your ideas of right and wrong).

Waning Inconjunct between the Cancer Moon and Sagittarius Sun/Jupiter (3 deg)
Mars in Pisces trine Ceres in Scorpio (5 deg)
The Waning Inconjunct takes the expansive energy of November 23rd’s Full Moon and reminds you that it’s time to pause and look after yourself or someone close to you. The Jupiter-fuelled situation has a personal side. Or, you need to honour some intimate needs/family/security amidst the rush of bigger issues. A matter involving right/wrong, exploration, faith or wisdom has a distinctly familiar angle.
Mars/Ceres can help with the above as compassionate or spiritual actions support deep nurturing. The more you let go, allow or move with the prevailing current, the greater the intensity of unconditional care and support. This is nurturing that is not afraid to move through loss to the other side.

Sagittarius Action
November 26th sees a Sun/Jupiter conjunction in Sagittarius, where Jupiter in all his strength is energized by the Sun. Mercury Rx in Sag makes an enthusiastic square to Mars in Pisces (and the Sun does the same on December 2nd).
On November 27th, the Sun conjoins Mercury Rx (an inferior conjunction) which marks the halfway point of Mercury’s Rx and point of clarity (plus a new beginning). Mercury then goes on to conjoin Jupiter, uniting details with the big picture.
So overall, there’s a ton of action in Sagittarius. Watch for an illumination of valuable wisdom that opens a door to vibrant new opportunities. This is a gift, and the square from the Mars is an activator – take action, make it happen. However, keep in mind that Mars in Pisces favours gentle movement rather than control or conquest. And Mercury is still Rx, backing into Scorpio on December 1st (activating the same degrees from October 31st). While more is being revealed the full story is still in flux. There’s more to uncover or reconsider and you’re only halfway through the process.
Venus
On November 28th, Venus in Libra squares the North Node in Cancer/South Node in Capricorn and opposes Uranus Rx in Aries on November 29th. A point of imbalance (regarding relationships, values, self-esteem or money) will be suddenly clarified with an abrupt ending or result. This shove/surprise is designed to turn your attention to the North Node – what feels safe/genuine/nurturing? At the turning point, you’ll have the choice to step away from old, invalid rules or definitions of status.
Venus enters Scorpio again on December 2nd. This is the third of three activations of early Scorpio. She first entered Scorpio on September 9th, then backed out of Scorpio into Libra (when Rx) on October 31st. An issue that’s been in the works from those dates can now be resolved, with the Uranus opposition and square to the Nodes as a final trigger. When moving from Libra to Scorpio, you’re always looking beneath the surface and accessing authentic resources, wants and values. The deep truth about a relationship lies there, and Venus’ entire retrograde period has been an excavation process.
What more have you uncovered?
Sun, Jupiter and Mercury Rx in your opportunities sector illuminate more information regarding travel, education, legal matters or publishing.

Sun, Jupiter and Mercury Rx in your sector of self-expression can indicate a vibrant new beginning or good news regarding a new attraction, creative project, celebration or children.

Sun, Jupiter and Mercury Rx in your communication sector signal a big point of clarity, a major announcement, idea or conversation.

Venus in your sign square the Nodes and opposing Uranus Rx suggests a choice involving past versus future, professional versus personal. A relationship could reach an abrupt culmination, although in truth this has been brewing for some time. At this tipping point you can stick with old rules/traditions or move forward towards a future that’s more in line with what you need. As Venus re-enters your sector of personal resources for the third and final time, watch for progress around issues of self-worth, self-esteem and personal values.

Venus in your hidden sector square the Nodes and opposing Uranus Rx suggests a sudden reveal or illumination of a blind spot. A key issue (involving relationships, money or self-esteem) needs to be dealt with before you can move on, make something official or expand into new territory. You may need to step away from self-imposed limitations or “shoulds”. As Venus re-enters your sign for the third and final time, it will be time to go public with what was hidden. You’ll be wrapping up an issue from September 9th and October 31st with increased certainty about your self-worth, your place in a relationship (or out of a relationship) and who you want in your life. Too, this could mark the public launch of a new project or lifestyle.

This energy can encourage you to speak up or make an announcement, and you’ll be highly motivated (especially concerning home and family matters) to move ahead. Certain actions or promises can be exaggerated.
However, as Mercury backs into your hidden sector, the above issues may trigger a pause or retreat, rather than a leap forward. Know that there’s more information to be revealed (connected to events from October 31st) and more to reconsider. Despite the enthusiasm, there are still some loose ends to wrap up.
Venus in your social sector square the Nodes and opposite Uranus Rx can trigger a surprising turning point regarding a friendship, group association or your public image. An abrupt ending or result may be featured, or this could be about a launch that’s been in the works for awhile. Either way, this will be about rebalancing issues of trust, finances and superficial image versus a deeper awareness and connection. As Venus enters your hidden sector for the third and final time, you will be encouraged to look deeper/look behind the scenes at social relationships or image. Issues from September 9th and October 31st need to be completed – there’s something you can no longer deny.
Sun, Jupiter and Mercury Rx in your hidden sector can reveal a secret, powerful source of intuitive knowledge or private conversation/realization that opens a new window. Too, this can be a the start of an enthusiastic dream that sees you hoping for more or assertively speaking out. Keep in mind that not everything you’re expressing may be fully understood (or believed) by others, and as Mercury Rx returns to your social sector you’ll be revisiting an issue from October 31st (involving friends, groups or your public image). What’s being revealed now is still in flux.

There could be new information about a launch or announcement, or a new understanding regarding future opportunities.

But as Mercury Rx revisits your career sector, issues from October 31st (including a discussion with management, business plans or questions/research about your job) will be up for review once again.

The square to Mars in your sign suggests ambition and enhanced motivation – you may have your eye on a lucrative new opportunity that is just now becoming clear. However, know that exaggeration and overlooking certain details are a risk, and as Mercury Rx backs into your sector of opportunities you’ll be re-examining information pertaining to travel, education, legal matters or publishing (from October 31st). It may be time to reconsider your ideals or knowledge before you move forward with work-related issues.
Venus in your sector of shared resources square the Nodes and opposite Uranus Rx can trigger a sudden result involving shared finances or intimacy.

Neptune stations direct in Pisces (13 deg)
Mercury Rx in Sagittarius sextile Pallas in Libra (8 deg)
Neptune
Retrograde since June 18th (from 16 to 13 deg Pisces) Neptune direct is about moving forward after the last remnants of an illusion/dream/outdated situation have dissolved. There may be a release as something fades away. If Neptune has been triggering confusion or loss of focus, this can be a time when you make some headway and progress further into the unknown country (forward means you’re one step closer to the other side).
If you have a natal plant or point at:
13 deg of the Mutable signs, Neptune will be permanently done with you as of December 27th, 2018 (roughly)
14 deg of the Mutable signs, Neptune will be permanently done with you as of February, 2019 (roughly)
17 to 18 deg of the Mutable signs, you’ll be getting your first taste of Neptune around April 2019
Mercury/Pallas
Mercury in Sag makes the first of two sextiles to Pallas. This is a quiet but positive influence – any harmonious aspect between Mercury and Pallas blends information/communication with strategy. Pallas in Libra is about relationship or diplomatic strategies, and boosted by Mercury in Sag, we have expansive communication to deliver these strategies. Meaning, a convincing way to send your message.
But Mercury is Rx, so this will be a revision of previous information, or a second request. Ask again and restrategize. Mercury direct will sextile Pallas again on December 29th, so the plan may not roll forward in its entirety until then.
For now, rest assured that this is a good time to adjust those solutions and have them favourably received. And it’s happening when Neptune goes direct, so you know there will be progress, even if it’s slow.

Venus in Libra square Vesta in Capricorn (26 deg)
Vesta’s rigid focus (in Saturn-ruled Capricorn) can cause tension with a relationship, financial or self-esteem issue. Venus in Libra wants harmony and balance, but the tension of the square suggests that strict concentration on what you want but don’t have (or where you don’t feel good enough) can cause an imbalance.
Today, you may be aware of a situation where you don’t feel loved/liked or where the exchange between you and another is not equal. Know that obsessing about this will increase the blockage you already feel. Consider what rules or boundaries are challenging you and see if there’s a compromise available between what you want versus what is.
For some, excessive focus on responsibility or work can create blocks in the personal life. Are you shutting someone out because of your devotion to status or tradition?
