Pallas enters Libra on November 4th, 2018. Strategies will be focused on social niceties – polite, indirect words can be used as effective weapons. Saying the right thing can get you what you want and grace will win the battle.
Pallas is named after Pallas Athena, the warrior goddess, so she always involves competitiveness and a win. Libra can be extremely competitive, but not in an obvious way. So this transit might in usher in a few months of covert competitiveness. Pallas can also emphasize imbalances such as recurring patterns of codependency or jealousy.
What strategies do have to combat these issues?
Pallas will station Rx on Feb 18th, 2019 at 29 degrees. She will pause at the very last degree and retrace her steps to 10 deg, where she will station direct on May 30th. This suggests a complete overhaul of a relationship strategy. When you get to this point, consider how your relationship strategies are working for you. If you don’t know what they are, consider what you do to get what you want, connect or make a certain impression.
We all have social strategies, whether or not we’re aware of them. Some are effective and some are destructive. Pallas encourages you to look at your patterns.
Pallas will exit Libra for Scorpio on August 26th, 2019.

On the November 6th the Nodes change signs: the North Node enters Cancer and the South Node enters Capricorn. Issues from the past, or issues that are culminating (South Node) may involve formal endings, defined lines between past and present or a step away from rigid rules. The path forward (North Node) will be about tuning into what you really need and what makes you feel safe/secure on an internal level.
Uranus Rx re-enters Aries on this same day. We last saw Uranus in Aries on May 14th, 2018, just before it entered Taurus. Now as it backs out of Taurus and revisits Aries, you’ll once again be encountering issues around fresh starts, total freedom and independence. Something from the past still needs to be shaken loose, and as Uranus squares the Nodes, this issue will be a key sticking point that needs to be confronted before you can move towards the North Node. One, last kick will set you free from any outdated/artificial definitions (Capricorn).
The November 7th Scorpio New Moon trines Neptune in Pisces, for extra flow and immersion. And, there’s a Grand Water Trine consisting of Jupiter in Scorpio, Chiron Rx in Pisces and the Cancer North Node (ruled by the Moon). All in all, this is a day for fluid, forgiving, emotional beginnings.
On November 8th, Jupiter leaves Scorpio for Sagittarius, the sign it rules. Jupiter’s energy of expansion, optimism, righteousness and adventure are cranked up. Expect the next year (until Jupiter’s Capricorn ingress in December 2019) to be powered up by more/better/further.
Finally, November 9th sees the second of two trines between Venus in Libra and Mars in Aquarius. The first trine occurred on August 7th, and this time around Venus is Rx. Actions harmonize with what you want, and the re-evaluation (Rx) of what you want/love will be enabled by what you do. The results could be very, very nice.
The North Node into your domestic sector and South Node into your career sector draw your attention to professional versus family life. A key area to develop will be emotional security, a growing family or immediate family relationships. A professional matter, career trajectory or approach to status/success will be culminating, and the square from Uranus Rx in your sign presents a turning point involving personal freedom or a step away from what’s artificial/restrictive. Too, you may be confronted with the necessity to stabilize your personal life. You may have first confronted this around May 14th.
As the North Node is activated by the Grand Water Trine in your sector of shared resources (Jupiter) and hidden sector (Chiron Rx) you should find that all domestic concerns are easier to approach. Deep emotions, vulnerability, secrets or confronting the past can be handled with some comfort as events progress naturally. As Jupiter enters your sector of opportunities, watch for a blast of new potential in the areas of education, travel, legal matters or publishing. After you go deep, you can power ahead with what you’ve discovered. Jupiter encourages you to broaden your horizons, learn something new, relocate, explore or renew your faith.
The New Moon in your sector of shared resources, trine Neptune Rx, suggests new beginnings involving debts, taxes, your partner’s finances or intimacy. Watch for a smooth flow of intensified understanding, release or merging with someone special. There will be no boundaries.
Venus Rx in your relationship sector trines Mars in your social sector, re-activating a partnership and social issue. Public or social actions will harmonize with what you want on a one-on-one level. This could be a second try regarding a public launch, relationship from the past or rebalancing between you and another. This will build on what started around August 7th.
The North Node into your communication sector and South Node into your sector of opportunities encourages you to align feelings with information and communication. This is about putting it into words, or approaching travel, education, legal or publishing issues with a instinctive, empathetic approach. The square to Uranus Rx in your hidden sector indicates a background area of disruption/liberation that must be taken into account. A major break from the past (including rules and restrictions) is happening. You may have first confronted this around May 14th.
As the North Node is activated by the Grand Water Trine in your partnership sector (Jupiter) and your social sector (Chiron Rx) watch for one-on-one communication to open up – empathy, mutual healing or the ability to reach others on an intimate level are possible manifestations. As Jupiter enters your sector of shared resources, possibilities involving sharing or merging will expand. You may get closer to someone, perhaps much more quickly than anticipated. You could feel a bit overwhelmed by what comes at you. Too, watch for big developments regarding debts, taxes, loans or your partner’s finances. A gift can manifest just as easily as increased debts, so watch the spending.
The New Moon in your partnership sector, trine Neptune Rx, suggests new relationship beginnings that unfold easily. Whether this is a new or existing partnership, intimacy and deep commitment will flow quickly and unconditionally. Just go with it.
Venus Rx in your sector of routine trine Mars in your career sector gives you a second shot at work and career benefits. Ambitions or actions involving management/your future goals will blend nicely with work methods or co-worker relationships. The key to success will be your efforts to correct an imbalance and apply what you learned the first time around (August 7th). Health matters can improve if your efforts are focused on moving ahead and exercising authority.
The North Node into your sector of personal resources and South Node into your sector of shared resources urges you to focus on self-sufficiency (on an emotional and financial level). Limits and obligations involving debts, taxes, your partner’s finances or intimacy may be confronted, completed or left behind as you move towards a place of greater personal security. The square to Uranus Rx in your social sector suggests an issue with friends, groups or your public image may be a deciding factor – you’ll have to temporarily return to an outdated public association in order to free yourself from what’s no longer valid. The change could hit you suddenly, forcing you to look out for yourself. You may have first confronted this around May 14th.
But as the North Node is activated by the Grand Water Trine in your sector of routine (Jupiter) and career (Chiron Rx) know that this shift can be lucrative, as work/health methodologies, solutions or improvements help you deal with ongoing career frustrations. Insecurities about success, authority or a job search can be resolved with a new, more subjective approach to what you need. Watch for a new job or positive change in finances. As Jupiter enters your relationship sector, a new partnership or increased desire for freedom/expansion in a relationship can add to your burgeoning independence. Jupiter can bring someone new into your life, or open your eyes/your partner’s eyes to greater possibilities.
The New Moon in your sector of routine, trine Neptune Rx, enables the flow between career and daily routines. A new job, or change in your approach to work/health can match bigger ideals while providing emotional satisfaction.
Venus Rx in your sector of self-expression trine Mars in your sector of opportunities reminds you that there’s more/better out there. You may return to a previous attraction or risk (from August 7th) and your efforts to explore/move ahead (in the areas of education, travel, legal matters or publishing) will perfectly support what you want. Try it again, especially if you’ve reevaluated your previous goals.
The North Node into your sign and the South Node into your partnership sector puts the focus on you and your needs. A relationship issue (involving rules, boundaries, commitments or goals) is culminating, and it may be time to draw a line or shift your focus. The square to Uranus Rx in your career sector means the turning point will involve a radical change in career, status or future goals. The shift will redefine who has the authority (parental issues may emerge). You may have first confronted this around May 14th.
As the North Node is activated by the Grand Water Trine in your sector of self-expression (Jupiter) and sector of opportunities (Chiron Rx) watch for boost of confidence and assurance regarding what you need and which direction to move in. Doubts about the unknown can be assuaged as you experience growth around something you’re creating 0r celebrating. These influences do hint at success. As Jupiter enters your sector of routine, watch for an increase in solutions/improvements, but also work. Jupiter can bring more energy, more tasks as well as a renewed perspective on how to tackle what must be done.
The New Moon in your sector of self-expression, trine Neptune Rx, suggests a door opening in the areas of creative, work, children, new romance or confidence. It should feel easy (almost effortless) to move forward and take a bit of a risk (with some caution, of course). This is your time: big-picture ideals can manifest.
Venus Rx in your domestic sector trine Mars in your sector of shared resources sees you revisiting a home/family issue and receiving a boost of initiative, background strength or additional resources. Watch for favourable energies around home finances, intimacy, a domestic partnership or your own psychological resources. You may have more to work with than you realized, and this will refer back to events from August 7th.
The North Node into your hidden sector and South Node into your sector of routine hi-light a health or work issue (an obligation to yourself or someone else) that must be completed or ended. The way forward now involves exploring what’s not obvious – perhaps a dream come true, ultimate goal or area where you need to let go and accept. The square to Uranus Rx in your sector of opportunities indicates that there will be tension and challenges to this in the areas of travel, education, legal matters, publishing or ideals. A return to a risk or leap into the unknown will compel you to change a routine/habit or liberate yourself for what’s been holding you down. You may have first confronted this around May 14th.
As the North Node is activated by the Grand Water Trine in your domestic sector (Jupiter) and sector of shared resources (Chiron Rx) you will be encouraged to delve deeper into family matters, the past and shared/psychological resources. A sensitive family issue may be stirred up (perhaps involving a secret) but there is easy access to healing and release, if you’re prepared to look at the uncomfortable stuff. As Jupiter enters your sector of self-expression, watch for a surge of confidence and the desire to celebrate, indulge or gamble. Jupiter can increase your craving for more (fun, romance) or it can expand an existing creative potential. Issues with children are also favoured.
The New Moon in your domestic sector, trine Neptune Rx, suggests a new home/family chapter that enables easy progress – a relocation, issues with home finances or dealing with family issues can progress almost without effort. Much of what happens may be beyond your control, and it may be better to just let it happen.
Venus Rx in your communication sector, trine Mars in your partnership sector, suggests a return to a previous relationship discussion or previous relationship. Reaching out again, or attempting to arrive at an agreement, can have pleasing results with some exciting chemistry. This will refer back to events from August 7th, but you’re re-evaluation of what’s being discussed, or how your message is being received, can make all the difference.
The South Node into your sector of self-expression and North Node into your social sector urges you to reach out to your community, friends or public contacts. This is about wrapping up an old definition or success or recognition and expanding that definition to include something that’s more authentic and instinctive. Too, it may be time to launch a creative project. What do you have to contribute to the group? The square to Uranus Rx in your sector of shared resources suggests you’ll be revisiting an issue involving shared finances or intimacy – watch for a chance to permanently sever an undermining habit/dependency, or overhaul a financial issue. What you change in the background will be instrumental to what happens on a public level. You may have first confronted this around May 14th.
As the North Node is activated by the Grand Water Trine in your communication sector (Jupiter) and partnership sector (Chiron Rx) a natural path should open up that allows you to reach out and connect with others on all levels. Your words/ideas can advance group connections and friendships which will enable healing/empathy on a one-on-one level. Also good for addressing longstanding partnership wounds. As Jupiter enters your domestic sector, the above can lead to expansion on a home/family level. A relocation, addition to the family or expansion of existing family issues are all possibilities.
The New Moon in your communication sector, trine Neptune Rx, suggests turning to a fresh page in a partnership. All one-on-one communication and contacts can flow forward with compassion, mutual understanding and deep emotional support. Allow the words to flow instinctively.
Venus Rx in your sector of personal resources trines Mars in your sector of routine, reconnecting you to a lucrative work opportunity or positive solution/improvement regarding health or obligations to others. A second look at your values, preferences or financial needs can address an imbalance – follow your gut and act accordingly. What you do on mundane level can benefit you, presenting a positive outcome to what began around August 7th.
The South Node into your domestic sector and North Node into your career sector brings a home/family situation to a head and urges you to look at you future. Regarding career, success or general future goals, this is about moving towards what meets your needs and establishing inner security via external accomplishments. Outdated traditions, fears and restrictions (based on family history) can be left behind. The square to Uranus Rx in your partnership sector suggests you’ll be revisiting a radical change, ending or liberation in a partnership. Someone else’s surprising or disruptive actions may be needed to shake you loose from the past. Before you can move forward, your approach to one-on-one connections needs an update. You may have first confronted this around May 14th.
As the North Node is activated by the Grand Water Trine in your sector of personal resources (Jupiter) and sector of routine (Chiron Rx) watch for a new career opportunity with lucrative potential. A new job, or new approach to work/success can boost your confidence and security while addressing issues such as burnout, difficulties with certain approaches to work, co-worker issues or overall health. As Jupiter enters your communication sector, you can build on the above via a rush of new ideas, information and intuition. Jupiter can gift you with conviction, optimism, wisdom or beneficial new contacts. Now is the time to learn more and say more.
The New Moon in your sector of personal resources, trine Neptune Rx, suggests a new source of income or new approach to self-esteem/values will be enabled by what you release or allow, rather than a hard push for material wealth or success.
Venus Rx in your sign trine Mars in your sector of self-expression can see you revisiting a new attraction, creative project or issue that encourages your confidence or display of talent. A re-evaluation of what you want and what you have to offer will blend nicely with what you do to get it. This is the perfect time to try again, or do something that’s more in line with what really makes you happy. This influence will build on what happened around August 7th.
The North Node into your opportunities sector and South Node into your communication sector is about wrapping up old rules/limits regarding how you communicate or what you know. An official document or agreement may be involved, and you’ll be moving towards an expansion of what resonates with you on an emotional level. This will be about feelings over logic, and may involve exploration in the areas of travel, education, legal matters, publishing or ideals. But the square to Uranus Rx in your sector of routine says that first you must revisit a health or work issue – a disruption (or final break from old habits) may be needed to shake you loose from what’s been holding you back. This could be about stepping away from conventional wisdom. You may have first confronted this around May 14th.
As the North Node is activated by the Grand Water Trine in your sign (Jupiter) and your sector of self-expression (Chiron Rx) watch for an opportunity to expand something desirable. Moving into new territory, expanding a project/future goals or making the most of a talent can feel almost effortless, and you’ll also be moving past old insecurities. Allow yourself to visualize what you want. As Jupiter enters your sector of personal resources, the above opportunities can lead to an increase in income, security and self-esteem – you’ll have more to work with. But spending can also increase, so keep tabs on your available resources.
The New Moon in your sign, trine Neptune Rx, opens a new door that encourages creativity, compassion and a more relaxed approach to what you want. Pay attention to what’s emerging naturally – you don’t have to force it, all you have to do is be receptive.
Venus Rx in your hidden sector trine Mars in your domestic sector offers a second shot at family issues/family secrets or the development of a hidden desire. As you re-evaluate what’s not being openly acknowledged, your actions should instinctively align with the best possible direction. This is the time to act on what’s hidden, and may refer back to August 7th.
The North Node in your sector of shared resources and South Node in your sector of personal resources suggests a shift in how you look after yourself and how you share with others. Old rules/limits regarding earned money, self-esteem and values may need to be reconsidered. You’re encouraged to move towards a deeper, more honest approach to finances and/or relationships – one that involves some vulnerability and an honest assessment of whether your needs are being met in your current situation. A financial issue may be completed or formalized. The square to Uranus Rx in your sector of self-expression sees you revisiting a risk, attraction or area where you want to “come out” and fully be yourself. Before you can achieve deep emotional authenticity, there may be something that you have to fully express. Too, you may need to confront your desire to take an unwise risk. You may have first dealt with this around May 14th.
As the North Node is activated by the Grand Water Trine in your hidden sector (Jupiter) and Chiron Rx in your domestic sector, watch for an opportunity to deal with what’s hidden or obscured. Secrets can expand until they dominate, but there is relief available as long as you’re ready to let your defences down and get honest about family issues, habits and history. You could also have access to a hidden source of assistance.
As Jupiter enters your sign (which it rules) what was hidden will come out into the open. Watch for a surge of energy, confidence or opportunity. Jupiter will expand whatever is currently happening, and sometimes that can mean not-so-nice situations. But for the most part, Jupiter should gift you with expanded vision, hope for the future and a renewal of your faith. Jupiter can bring gifts, and this is the planet of potential, which means you have to take action to get the most out of it. Jupiter can also encourage massive overindulgence and self-righteousness. How you use this energy is your choice.
The New Moon in your hidden sector trine Neptune Rx suggests new insight regarding a family secret or issue from your past. This insight may not be public or obvious, but trust that sense of unfolding and follow your gut.
Venus Rx in your social sector trine Mars in your communication sector suggests revisiting an issue with friends, groups or your public image. Re-evaluating public relationships or your connection to the group can lead to some frank but harmoniously received communications. It may be time to ask again or re-establish contact. This issue first came about on August 7th. Excellent for a second launch or reconnection with someone special.
The South Node into your sign and North Node into your relationship sector can activate a key issue that is nearing completion, or that needs to be left behind. It will involve outdated or limiting rules, traditions or expressions of authority/status, and will encourage you to develop an emotionally richer (and more empathetic) approach to relationships. This may require that you release some control, and the square to Uranus Rx in your domestic sector says this will mean breaking away from a key area of the past. A tradition may need to be permanently severed, or your family identity redefined. You may have first confronted this around May 14th.
As the North Node is activated by the Grand Water Trine in your social sector (Jupiter) and communication sector (Chiron Rx) all relationships (friendships and partnerships) should flow along a natural path. Watch for opportunities to expand your contacts and address a sensitive issue/apology that came up before. By connecting on a more empathetic level, you can move beyond hurt feelings. As Jupiter enters your hidden sector, changes/opportunity may be less obvious but trust that something is building in the background. You’ll see the full impact once Jupiter enters your sign, on Dec 2nd, 2019.
The New Moon in your social sector, trine Neptune Rx, can open up a new conduit for group communication, a public launch or a more sympathetic connection with a friend. You may connect with others in an intuitive way, which will allow the development of richer, deeper relationships.
Venus Rx in your career sector trine Mars in your sector of personal resources suggests a second shot at a job opportunity, professional relationship or lucrative position at work. Your re-evaluation of the situation will be key and your actions/ambitions to get what you want can put you in the right place. Also good for a salary increase. Look back to August 7th for more info.
The South Node into your hidden sector and North Node into your sector of routine can hi-light a hidden rule, limit or area of guilt. An ending/release will involve you moving past a block and making a change in your daily health or work routine that favours a more nurturing, comfortable approach. This is about looking after yourself, or manifesting a reality that aligns with your true needs (and perhaps bringing your true needs out into the open). The square to Uranus Rx in your communication sector indicates that before you can move forward with the above, you’ll encounter a disruptive idea/truth/conversation that you first dealt with around May 14th. This may involve speaking out about something shocking. Perhaps you have to confront an uncomfortable truth.
As the North Node is activated by the Grand Water Trine in your career sector (Jupiter) and your sector of personal resources (Chiron Rx) the above changes in your daily routine can be connected to an opportunity at work, a new job and new approach to money/security. You can address insecurities and financial issues with this new approach to work and life. As Jupiter enters your social sector, watch for a new, more social chapter that encourages connections with groups or friends. Excellent for expanding your public profile or getting out into the community.
The New Moon in your career sector, trine Neptune Rx, suggests a new job or approach to success that will be less about pure ambition and more about aligning yourself with what feels right. Creative and emotional work can flourish.
Venus Rx in your opportunities sector trine Mars in your sign presents a second shot at an issue involving travel, long-distance romance, education, legal matters or publishing. You may have first encountered this on August 7th, and now your re-evaluation of what’s next can blend perfectly with your actions. This is about getting what you want.
The North Node into your sector of self-expression and South Node into your social sector asks you to step away from artificial social constructs – the rules, limits and tradition that society or the group has imposed on you. Now you’ll be moving towards a place that’s more about your authentic needs and behaviour. But first, the square to Uranus Rx in your sector of personal resources asks you to revisit a dramatic change in your financial base or personal values. What first manifested around May 14th will re-emerge – it may be time to update or completely overhaul your source of income or what really matters to you.
As the North Node is activated by the Grand Water Trine in your opportunities sector (Jupiter) and Chiron Rx in your sign, you’re encouraged to expand and explore. Travel, education, legal matters, publishing or increased faith are areas where you can assert your true spirit while addressing a wound/vulnerability from the past. This could be about finding the confidence to step out or take a risk. As Jupiter enters your career sector, this could translate into new job opportunities, a new career path or expanded expressions of authority.
The New Moon in your opportunities sector trine Neptune Rx in your sign encourages you to dream big, consider an unknown area or put your faith into something new. This is about transcending old doubts and hesitations – allow the current to carry you forward.
Venus Rx in your sector of shared resources trine Mars in your hidden sector revisits an issue involving shared finances or intimacy. A deep re-evaluation of what you share or owe can refer back to events from August 7th, and now you get another chance to address a private issue. Intuitive actions or deeper access to resources may result as you move along instinctive paths.

Venus Rx in Libra inconjunct Juno Rx in Taurus (28 deg)
Venus Rx in Libra inconjunct Chiron Rx in Pisces (28 deg)
Juno Rx in Taurus sextile Chiron Rx in Pisces (28 deg)
There’s an unusual configuration in the sky today, called a Yod. It features inconjuncts, which are aspects of incompatibility.
Juno/Venus indicates incompatibility between the desire for a balanced/harmonious relationship versus the focus on one partner’s “me first” baseline needs. The agreement/commitment (Juno) does not mesh with the actual exchange. Chiron/Venus indicates incompatibility between addressing the wound versus keeping it light and happy.
But Chiron and Juno make a harmonious sextile with each other, so the fixed/predictable aspects of this agreement can be a good basis for revisiting that sore spot – it will be safe to address what hurts, if the relationship itself remains secure.
And yet, the tension of two inconjuncts pointing at Venus (making her the focal point) means a key imbalance, exchange or surface issue must be addressed. It will be quite uncomfortable. Somehow, Juno and Chiron’s energies must be integrated with Venus. A balance must be achieved between fixed security versus compromise and confronting a sensitivity versus keeping things harmonious.
Everything is Rx, so this entire issue is not new. You’re revisiting the agreement/commitment and addressing what’s out of whack. Watch for a key issue around incompatibility or unhappiness. You may be tempted to back off, but this is actually a prompt to address the issue. Yods are not fun, but if approached correctly, the payoff can be satisfying. Having said this, relationships are likely to be troublesome and awkward today.
When dealing with inconjuncts, the key is adjustment – both sides must be worked with (it’s a balancing act).

The November 7th New Moon at 15 deg Scorpio trines Neptune Rx in Pisces. This can give new beginnings a deeply idealistic or healing quality. Trines in water signs indicate events that flow smoothly and easily, especially when Neptune (which dissolves boundaries) is involved.
What begins should roll forward naturally. Or, you may slip into some deep waters before you know what’s happening. Scorpio energy is profound, dark and completely honest: you sink past the secrets and get to the truth.
However, it is encouraging that Jupiter in Scorpio is making an exact trine to the Cancer North Node on this same day and both are trining Chiron Rx in Pisces (29 deg). So there is a Grand Water Trine that encourages you to move forward (North Node) towards a place of inner security and emotional authenticity – this is where you can access some serious healing as you revisit an old wound (Chiron Rx). Jupiter expands the issue so you can’t miss it.
The North Node is ruled by this Moon, so what begins will be an important part of this entire Nodal transit through Cancer/Capricorn. Which is to say, moving past external, rigid definitions of security (Capricorn) towards internal, nurturing security. What really matters, in your gut. What feels (Cancer) real. I’ll write more about this Nodal transit on the day of the ingress (November 6th).
All this Scorpio action might feel a bit heavy, especially if you’re not comfortable with “the feels.” The New Moon could herald increased access to intense emotions, or an event that swamps you with more honesty than you’re prepared for. But it’s all good – sometimes you have to dive in and just feel it. Neptune can soften things a bit by diffusing the intensity, and Jupiter trine Chiron Rx (this aspect was exact on November 1st) can lift you past the pain, once you confront it.
Dive in!

Scorpio Sun square Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (9 deg)
Waning Sextile between the Virgo Moon and Scorpio Sun (10 deg)
Jupiter in Scorpio opposite Juno Rx in Taurus (28 deg)
Waning Sextile
The Sun/BML square shines a dark light on female empowerment, rebellion and alienation. Being on the outside for not acting the way a woman “should” or for expressing taboo issues of female sexuality may be themes, with a tension that encourages the expression of ego and purpose. This can trigger the expression of woman’s power, but it won’t be easy and there will be a lot of resistance from others. BML’s destructive side (jealousy/vengeance) may come out.
Fortunately, this aspect is also part of the Waning Sextile with the Virgo Moon, which offers solutions via subtle refinements and attention to detail. You can make things better and progress naturally if you’re aware of the little things – the seemingly inconsequential but important words, the small but vital adjustments/improvements that need to be made. Overall, your goal is to take what’s dark/intense/taboo and refine it.
Jupiter/Juno
The Jupiter/Juno opposition presents the second of two oppositions in Scorpio/Taurus. Juno was Jupiter’s wife, and she was faithful to him despite his consistent philandering. Especially in the Fixed sign of Taurus, she represents the unshakable commitment.
When she opposes Jupiter, the ideals of/desire for expansion in that commitment will be at odds with the agreement itself. This is a key turning point between partners, but it’s not new -the issue may have emerged around August 3rd with the first opposition. One partner may be after deep transformation of the partnership while the other wants things to remain as is. This final opposition (with Juno Rx) suggests a re-evaluation of what was previously fixed. Material resources, set routines or security may be issues.
In general terms, this can represent a massive change or ending in any agreement (personal or professional). The enduring partnership must evolve or die.

Jupiter in Scorpio trine Chiron Rx in Pisces (28 deg)
Jupiter in Scorpio sextile Pallas in Virgo (28 deg)
Chiron Rx in Pisces opposite Pallas in Virgo (28 deg)
Jupiter/Chiron gives you access to deep healing of a wound/vulnerability that first came up around March/April 2018. At that time, you may not have had the resources to deal, but now you do- pay attention to what’s emerged from the depths (knowledge, secrets, optimism).
Jupiter in Scorpio has stirred up a lot of crap during its transit – you’ve felt the weight of your Shadow, issues with death or trauma. But this trine indicates that healing is available. The emergence of dark things is not without relief.
Chiron’s opposition to Pallas indicates some challenges as you attempt to apply logical strategies/solutions that don’t quite do the trick. The neat pattern won’t fit with what hurts. But Jupiter’s sextile suggests you can still get through this if you work with newly emerging secrets/wisdom. The deeper you go, the more access you’ll have to assistance as you expand upon an existing solution. Go beyond what’s logical.

A new Patreon post (for $1 Patrons) is up: a guide to the multiple changes approaching in November…

As Mercury enters Sagittarius today (October 31st) the energy around communication and information shifts from investigation/secrets to big-picture views and ideals.
Mercury is expansive in this sign. Details are less important than the overall story, which will usually have a touch of the idealized exotic. This is the transit of promises, inspired words, the sales pitch and certain versions of the truth.
Initially, this may feel like a huge leap as Mercury’s compression in Scorpio suddenly gives way to rapid expansion. You may be flooded with ideas, stories and big pronouncements. But Mercury will station Rx in Sagittarius on November 16th, and you’ll be questioning the story. Or, there may be delays and reviews of the big promise.
As noted in this post, Mercury Rx will dip back into Scorpio, telling us that the review of something new and expansive will trigger an additional look at what lies beneath the story. Sagittarius is associated with truth, but there’s a sense here that what you first learn may not be the whole truth.
Mercury’s first major aspect in Sag will be a trine to the Leo North Node, which will fire up new ideas with brilliant future potential. This will truly be about looking ahead. But Mercury will also make an inconjunct to Uranus Rx (ruler of the Aquarius South Node) so there may be something unfinished (a surprise or disruption) that you have to take into consideration. Uranus/Mercury can be impatient and disconnected. You’ll want to to say “Yes” or speak out ASAP. Just keep in mind that the retrograde will slow things down.
Here are the aspects Mercury in Sagittarius/Scorpio will make:
Oct 31st: inconjunct Uranus Rx in Taurus (0 deg)
Oct 31st: trine the Leo North Node (0 deg)
Nov 10th: sextile Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (10 deg)
