Overview

Neptune Rx

June 18th sees Neptune stationing Rx at 16 degrees Pisces. Rx motion is always about reviews and/or intensification. In this case, it suggests going back to question a dream/belief, or exposing a lie. Neptune’s dissolution eventually leads to the truth (that’s been obscured) and Neptune Rx can reveal what you’ve been denying or what you simply didn’t see. This retrograde can also enable a release or gentle goodbye. 

Venus in Leo, Mars in Aquarius

On June 19th, Venus conjoins the Leo North Node. The future is here, and it can manifest via a relationship, financial, creative or self-esteem issue that urges you to boldly step out and be proud. Here’s your audience or reason to celebrate, and Venus’ opposition to Mars in Aquarius (on June 21st) will play into this. 

As I explained in this post:

“The opposition to Mars will add tension, which is not a bad thing – tension motivates you, and the conflict between action versus what you want can push you to go further or call it quits. Mars opposite Venus can indicate fiery chemistry via a demanding attraction, and the dynamic will be anything but harmonious. 

Because the Nodes are involved, more is at stake- Mars urges you to step away from the past and Venus draws you towards the future. Transiting Mars/Venus oppositions are rare: the last one occurred on May 24th, 2016 (0 deg Sag/Gemini) and the next one occurs on November 9th, 2020 (15 deg Aries/Libra).  In the Mars/Venus cycle this is a culmination – it can signal a result involving a relationship or any action/attraction dynamic. Detached/rebellious actions (Mars in Aquarius) challenge the desire to be proud, special, or to create something special (Venus in Leo). Ultimately, you want to move towards the North Node, so special wins. But the motivation lies in Aquarius. 

The degree of this opposition is the degree where Mars will station Rx in Aquarius (on June 26th). This tells us that the opposition’s culmination will lead to Mars Rx’s review or redo. So the ending or turning point will not be absolute – Mars Rx says there will be delays and back and forth before the final result (when Mars direct passes over 9 deg Aquarius from October 8th to 9th).”

Grand Water Trine

June 19th to 20th brings us a Grand Water Trine as Mercury in Cancer trines Jupiter Rx in Scorpio and Neptune Rx in Pisces. Words will flow easily as Jupiter adds growth and intensity, while Neptune opens up the imagination. This can be a profoundly healing or romantic influence, and words/thoughts will have great power. This Grand Trine will connect back to June 2nd and 3rd, when Venus in Cancer took Mercury’s place. What was desired then can be put into words now. 

However, just as the previous Grand Water Trine had possible negative associations due to the path of least resistance (Grand Trines are closed circuits of easy anergy) this trine can keep you stuck in habitual thought patterns/conversations that are undermining.

Fortunately, Mercury will go on to oppose Pluto Rx in Capricorn on June 23rd, which will reveal a dark truth. Yes, I said fortunately. If you’ve been thinking/talking on automatic pilot, this opposition will provide an external challenge that forces you to confront what lies behind the words. Thoughts can be obsessive or transformative – your choice. 

Summer Solstice

The Sun enters Cancer on June 21st, the longest day and energetic turning point in the year. Here we celebrate the peak of light and heat. Ideally, a time to celebrate family, children, security and self-nurturing. But the Sun squares Chiron in Aries to June 23rd, so you’ll immediately be aware of an area where you feel less secure, less nurtured and ultra-sensitive. 

This issue first came up on May 20th, and again on June 13th. Venus in Cancer squared Chiron on May 20th, and Mercury in Cancer did the same on June 13th. So this will be a repeat issue, with this third hit to Chiron as the most potent (it will have the force of the Solstice behind it). This suggests the wound (based on family/the past/neediness) will be fully illuminated and should be confronted. Note that Mercury will oppose Pluto on June 23rd, so the dark truths that are revealed may be connected to the Chiron square. Just remember that Pluto always holds the path to permanent transformation – the death of the old. 

Who wants to deal with this? Nobody. But it’s coming at you, and Chiron’s transit of Aries was always going to be about tackling the painful stuff with courage, especially when you’re feeling least courageous. 

On January 12th 2020, Saturn will meet up with Pluto, at 22 degrees Capricorn. This will be a fusion of authority and power, and the start of a new cycle. There may be breakdowns or confirmations of tremendous power, depending on how you’ve handled power and authority in your life. 

Wondering how it might impact you? Check out my downloadable PDF, a handy house-by-house guide to this transit. 

Aries

Neptune Rx in your hidden sector may be subtle or unnoticed, but trust that an intensified process of release or reveal is happening. An outdated portion of your past is being dissolved by another few inches, and something new is emerging. 

Aspects to Venus in your sector of self-expression can trigger a vibrant new attraction with a fated feeling, a bold creative opportunity or a chance for you to shine in a new area. Social prompts or challenges will push you to bring your A-game: here is your moment to step up and show others what you’ve been developing in the areas of performance or unique talent. 

The Grand Water Trine activates your domestic sector (Mercury) your sector of shared resources (Jupiter Rx) and your hidden sector (Neptune Rx). Family discussions or delving into the past can flow towards gentle realizations or soothing reminiscences. At the same time, there’s no motivation to speak out – family secrets may stay that way. Events may connect back to June 2nd-3rd.

However, Mercury/Pluto will ensure that unacknowledged issues around power, authority and parental roles come out, although they may be projected. Awareness can ensure that you’re not operating on habitual programming and responding as you always have. This aspect can also indicate a conclusion/announcement involving a career move, job search or relocation. 

The Sun’s move into your domestic sector, and the square to Chiron in your sign, will hi-light painful family dynamics. The issue may have been around for years, but only now are you ready to take it on. Or, events may push you forward (involuntarily) so you’re compelled to deal with this. Being the family scapegoat, outsider or antagonist may be themes. Perhaps you’re the only one who has the courage to deal with this.

Taurus

Neptune Rx in your social sector suggests the dissolution of a friendship or group association. As roles and attachments shift, you may review certain ideals and experience some disillusionment. Too, a truth that’s been in front of you all along (regarding your connection to the public or a public figure) may come to light.

Aspects to Venus in your domestic sector suggest a key turning point in matters regarding family, relocation or a home business. A desired potential comes to light, involving love, happiness and pride. The drive for career or future success will add motivation, as well as momentum away from the past and towards a joyful domestic future. Tension at work/with management may be part of this motivation. In some cases, these aspects can indicate the launch of a home business or an exciting new phase in your home and professional life. 

The Grand Water Trine activates your communication sector (Mercury) your partnership sector (Jupiter Rx) and your social sector (Neptune Rx). All relationship discussions (group and one-on-one) can flow smoothly, with a mix of empathy, optimism and idealism. Great for connecting with others or reaching out to those that you’ve been out of contact with. Negative manifestations can include getting sucked into the same, old relationship topics or buying into the false promise/relationship illusion. Events may connect back to June 2nd-3rd.

However, Mercury/Pluto will provide a wake up call via a profound discovery or announcement – the underside of a certain belief or piece of wisdom may be exposed, or your ideas may be forcefully challenged by an external source. Pay attention to compulsive feelings that you must be right, or that you must make your voice heard. The compulsion is the real issue – the words/ideas are only what rests on the surface. 

The Sun’s move into your communication sector, and the square to Chiron, can illuminate a painful conversation, area of knowledge or secret. It may be time to openly confront the dynamics that you’ve been afraid to speak about. This issue first came up on May 20th, and again on June 13th. 

Gemini

Neptune Rx in your career sector can take you back a few paces in order to adjust a professional dream, or dissolve the remains of outdated goals and professional habits. A career connection or part of your professional image could be up for a clarifying reveal. 

Aspects to Venus in your communication sector can trigger a fortuitous conversation, meeting or discovery that opens up valuable information while challenging what you think you already know. You may be pushed to move forward with an idea, or put a belief into words (or leave that belief behind). Too, there can be a verbal or written conclusion that delivers something desirable. 

The Grand Water Trine activates your sector of personal resources (Mercury) your sector of routine (Jupiter Rx) and your career sector (Neptune Rx). A financial or self-esteem issue can flow forward with good news or negotiations – what you need/what you’re worth can be easily and instinctively articulated, as your work nets positive results. Possible negative manifestations include the inability to see beyond a current development and ask for more, or a fixation on doing it all yourself and refusing to look beyond current financial/work parameters. Events may connect back to June 2nd-3rd.

However, Mercury/Pluto will uncover some essential information and background dynamics about what you own, share or owe. You may discover the real motivations behind a financial or security issue. 

The Sun’s move into your sector of personal resources, and the square to Chiron, can hi-light a financial or self-esteem fear. You will see what you don’t have enough of, or where you feel least secure/deserving. Consider how others prompt these moments of recognition and feelings of lack via social competition or inadequacy. This issue first came up on May 20th, and again on June 13th. 

Cancer

Neptune Rx in your sector of opportunities can open your eyes to a false belief or incorrect path of exploration. Issues around travel, education, legal matters or publishing can reveal more, including what you need to adjust or let go of. 

Aspects to Venus in your sector of personal resources indicate a prime financial or self-esteem opportunity- here’s your chance to earn more, earn differently or celebrate something that makes you feel certain about who you are and what you stand for. In the process, you may be dealing with challenges from another in the areas of intimacy or shared finances. It may be time to free yourself from old dependencies or activate a new level of trust/sharing. 

The Grand Water Trine activates Mercury in your sign, Jupiter Rx in your sector of self-expression and Neptune Rx in your opportunities sector. Got something to say? The influences don’t get more promising than this. Your words will have a magical edge and can touch a wide audience while expressing your joy/confidence/creativity. Great for promoting yourself, convincing others or confirming a personal dream (putting it into words). Negative possibilities include putting all your hopes/energy into a false belief and refusing to accept any truth that contradicts what you want to see. Events may connect back to June 2nd-3rd.

However, Mercury/Pluto will reveal what you’ve been avoiding, via a partner or competitor.  Challenging words or actions from another will push you to say what you really mean and look at what lies beneath the facade of a relationship. Awareness of what you’re saying is key, because another can activate unconscious issues that emerge in the form of manipulation or obsessive demands. 

The Sun’s move into your sign, and its square to Chiron, will hi-light a key area of insecurity involving career, success and future progress. You may confront a failure or frustrating situation where you don’t feel up for competition or ambitious moves. Consider where you need to bring your A game, or if you current line of work is right for you.  This issue first came up on May 20th, and again on June 13th. 

Leo

Neptune Rx in your sector of shared resources can trigger doubts about shared finances or intimacy. Boundaries may shift, or you could find yourself letting go (perhaps involuntarily) of what you used to value. Too, it may be time to release a deep connection, financial responsibility or fear. 

Aspects to Venus in your sign indicate a prime moment for advancement in a relationship, lifestyle or career issue. Watch for a sign that this is where you should move ahead – you should feel a sense of opportunity and desire. A partner or competitor could be the catalyst, whether you’re parting ways or moving the relationship forward. In a romantic situation, Venus opposite Mars can indicate a hot but conflicted attraction. 

The Grand Water Trine activates your hidden sector (Mercury) your domestic sector (Jupiter Rx) and your sector of shared resources (Neptune Rx). A secret, a private conversation or intuitive piece of knowledge can enable habits/addictions based in the past, or encourage progress regarding a domestic relationship or domestic finances. These energies will work beneath the surface, so much of what happens will not be based on logic. Events may connect back to June 2nd-3rd.

Mercury/Pluto can make you feel as if you must speak out (about a health/work issue or obligation)but you may not want to – consider where the pressure is coming from, and what it reveals. Too, there can be issues with hidden compulsions or paranoia/buried fears. Double check what you think you’re hearing or seeing. 

The Sun into your hidden sector, square Chiron, suggests external wounds/insecurities involving travel, education, legal matters, belief or publishing will stir up hidden issues. There will be more going on behind the scenes, so don’t take the painful issue at face value. You may be more sensitive about what’s happening than others realize. This issue first came up on May 20th, and again on June 13th.

Virgo

Neptune Rx in your partnership sector suggests shifting roles or ideals in a relationship. Disillusionment can lead to a truth, along with a new level of connection. Too, this could be about the loosening of what used to bind you and another together. If you’re single, Neptune Rx can help you let go of relationship disappointments, pain or the urge to sacrifice. 

Aspects to Venus in your hidden sector can trigger an ultimate goal, romance or purpose regarding what you really want. Watch for a sense of fate, as things slide into place. Efforts to improve, upgrade or deal with work/health issues will be the trigger – tension between what you have to do versus what you want can be motivating, resulting in a final push to make the dream happen. 

The Grand Water Trine activates your social sector (Mercury) your communication sector (Jupiter Rx) and your partnership sector (Neptune Rx). Communications with friends, groups or the public can flow easily and naturally, as you tap into an abundant source of optimism and magic. Great for reaching out to anyone and making personal connections. Too, one-on-one relationship conversations can expand nicely to include future plans. However, possible negative manifestations can include believing only what you want to believe about a social/public issue, or enabling an undermining partnership  pattern. Events may connect back to June 2nd-3rd.

Mercury/Pluto will ensure that your public words have impact while also stirring up shadow issues (such as projection, suspicion and manipulation) behind the words. Be very careful with public statements, because any unconscious issues (that you may not want to articulate) will be on display. Too, Mercury/Pluto can get you thinking about your true connection to others, or how your words are received. 

The Sun into your social sector squares Chiron, triggering sensitivities or hurt feelings. Doubts about your social status, your friends or your place in the collective will be stirred up, and will be connected to what first came up on May 20th, and again on June 13th. Since this issue is repeating, consider it a key area that needs to be confronted. The source of the pain lies beneath the surface, but the manifestations will be public. 

Libra

Neptune Rx in your sector of routine can reveal a weakness in your work or health habits. Watch for an area where you’ve been misleading yourself or letting something slide. In some cases, you’ll be made aware of the line between obligation and sacrifice. 

Aspects to Venus in your social sector suggest a bright opportunity regarding a friend, group activity or connection with the public. This could be your chance to let others see your talent or connect with someone special. At the same time, you’ll be motivated by romantic or creative tension that urges you to step beyond a habit or approach to pride/worthiness. It might be time to step out and show others what you’ve got, while allowing yourself to be part of the group. 

The Grand Water Trine activates your career sector (Mercury) your sector of personal resources (Jupiter Rx) and your sector of routine (Neptune Rx). A conversation with management, a business launch, job lead or job interview can proceed smoothly and promise lucrative results. There could be a raise or lead on a new source of income. Negative possibilities include refusal to accept new professional ideas or going with the flow regarding a job situation, because you’re comfortable with the way things are. Events may connect back to June 2nd-3rd.

Mercury/Pluto can provide a jolt of awareness as darker truths (regarding your professional image or discussions with management) are revealed. In some cases, Mercury/Pluto can indicate a transformative (and permanent) conclusion to a professional matter. 

The Sun into your career sector, and the square to Chiron, can trigger anxieties or vulnerabilities about success, authority or your ability to move forward. A partner or competitor could reflect issues that make you question your current path. This issue first came up on May 20th, and again on June 13th.

Scorpio

Neptune Rx in your sector of self-expression can draw your attention to an addiction, fantasy or area where you’ve been overindulging. A romantic delusion or disappointment  may also be revealed. On the plus side, this Rx can uncover some creative inspiration or urge you to return to a dream/higher goal. 

Aspects to Venus in your career sector can open the door to a brighter future in the form of a new job, recognition for your professional talents or new career path. Watch for an opportunity to truly shine and receive full recognition. You’ll be urged to actively step away from the past (including family and childhood issues). Or, there could be a turning point regarding domestic versus professional goals. In some cases, you could meet someone at work who ends up being a key player in your love life. 

The Grand Water Trine activates Jupiter Rx in your sign, Neptune Rx in your sector of self-expression and Mercury in your sector of opportunities. An area of growth, expansion or intensive exploration can drive your search for more in the areas of travel, education, legal matters, publishing or ideals. You can make your voice heard in a convincing and emotional manner, or learn something valuable that confirms what you’ve been working towards. On the downside, these energies can keep you locked in a loop of self-righteous conviction- feelings will be more powerful than logic, and you may be unwilling to listen to anyone else. Events may connect back to June 2nd-3rd.

Mercury/Pluto can add an obsessive edge to your words/thoughts, especially if this involves an ideal, issue of right/wrong or piece of wisdom. The key is to look at why you’re so fixated on this issue – the intensity of conviction is the real story. 

The Sun’s move into your opportunities sector, and the square to Chiron, can hi-light an area of fear or doubt around venturing into the unknown, going public or exploring new territory. You may feel unprepared, or what you learn may illuminate an area where you feel flawed or weak. This issue first came up on May 20th, and again on June 13th.

Sagittarius

Neptune Rx in your domestic sector can pull you back to old family issues. You may feel like any progress you’ve made is being eroded, but know that the return is meant to expose pervasive untruths and illusions that have stood the test of time. 

Aspects to Venus in your sector of opportunities can open up something new, juicy and exciting. Travel, long-distance romance, legal matters, education or publishing are areas where you’ll be invited to step forward. Motivation may come in the form of an argument, verbal challenge or prompt to actively disengage from outdated ideas. In some cases, this can mark the results of your efforts to make your thoughts public. 

The Grand Water Trine activates your sector of shared resources (Mercury) your hidden sector (Jupiter Rx) and your domestic sector (Neptune Rx). Here is the dive into family secrets or personal issues (involving intimacy, finances or taboo subjects) that you’ve been hesitant to confront. You can comfortably ask the tough questions /have the sensitive discussion. Negative possibilities include wallowing in the deep end of an issue and refusing to make any progress. Watch for habitual mental grooves involving depression, addiction or destructive thoughts. Events may connect back to June 2nd-3rd.

Mercury/Pluto can intensify any dark impulses via a fixation on something unhealthy. But Pluto can also present the tools for you to permanently transform unhealthy thought patterns- this could be an “enough is enough” moment as you hit bottom and decide there’s no where to go but up. 

The Sun’s move into your sector of shared resources, and the square to Chiron, will hi-light sensitive issues involving intimacy, finances or being loved/appreciated. While this may appear to be about one thing on the surface, deeper issues of dependency and fear of losing power will be at root. This issue first came up on May 20th, and again on June 13th.

Capricorn

Neptune Rx in your communication sector can gradually reveal a truth via a lie or omission. Questions can come up about accuracy, or you may be taking a second look at certain facts that you held sacred.

Aspects to Venus in your sector of shared resources can take a relationship to deeper levels, uncover a financial gift or reward your increased ability to trust as powerful joy and support grows between you another. Motivation could come in the form of a desire to earn more, increase your security or step away from isolating “me first” approaches to life. Your actions to make your situation better will have led you to this moment. 

The Grand Water trine activates your partnership sector (Mercury) your social sector (Jupiter Rx) and your communication sector (Neptune Rx). One-on-one discussions should flow smoothly, as empathy, emotional connection and the willingness to talk about anything opens things up between you and another. Too, social interactions/friendships can benefit from intimate conversations. Possible negative manifestations include getting caught up in a partner’s unproven promises, or allowing relationship discussions to follow the same, easy path where there’s no growth. Events may connect back to June 2nd-3rd.

But Mercury opposite Pluto Rx in your sign can address this, as you demand the truth from a partner. If you sense there’s more beneath the surface, you won’t let it go until you’re satisfied. Be aware that most people are not comfortable with this approach. And are you sure you really want to know? 

The Sun’s move into your partnership sector, and the square to Chiron, can trigger painful family dynamics. This issue first came up on May 20th, and again on June 13th, so it’s not new. While a partner may be the trigger, you have the opportunity to step up and address what’s really going on. 

Aquarius

Neptune Rx in your sector of personal resources can see you questioning outdated modes of financial and emotional security. You’ve been ripe for change for a while now, but this Rx can clarify what you need to let go of and where your current system of values and earning are no longer sustainable. 

Aspects to Venus in your partnership sector (including the opposition to Mars in your sign) can introduce a powerful but challenging new relationship. You’ll be confronted with what you want but you’ll have to contend with your habits including cynicism, alienation and having to compromise on certain freedoms. Nonetheless, this could be worth it. 

The Grand Water trine activates your sector of routine (Mercury) your career sector (Jupiter Rx) and your sector of personal resources (Neptune Rx). A fix, improvement or solution can work beautifully, as those in authority accept your ideas, or your ideas keep the wheels rolling nicely in your life. Work, daily routine and health can all benefit. Possibly negative manifestation include sticking with tried and true work/health habits that are comforting and familiar, but leave no room for progress. Events may connect back to June 2nd-3rd.

Mercury/Pluto will offer deeper motivations for change in the guise of secrets or subconscious prompts. Pay attention to what you sense, and try to put this into words. In some cases, a secret can come to light that has a major impact on your work or health routines. 

The Sun into your sector of routine, and the square to Chiron, can hi-light a flaw, unhappy diagnosis or piece of information that demands uncomfortable change to work or health issues. You may have to speak up in order to access something you feel is essential. Pressure to perform or correct can also be themes. Consider what you’re being asked to do and how you can make your thoughts known about this. This issue first came up on May 20th, and again on June 13th.

Pisces

Neptune Rx in your sign can shift a goalpost, uncover a lie or see you questioning a dream or project. It may be time to confront an illusion or take a second look at what you believed in. 

Aspects to Venus in your sector of routine suggest a prime opportunity for self-care or creating something you can be proud of in your daily life. You’ll be pushed to develop a fantasy into a reality, or accelerate an ending so you can increase love, beauty or abundance in your daily life. Hidden actions will have great power. 

The Grand Water Trine activates Neptune Rx in your sign, Mercury in your sector of self-expression and Jupiter Rx in your opportunities sector. Here’s a chance to put a dream into words, or add resonance to creative or romantic thoughts. If you use these energies correctly, you can take an idea much further, but if you’re unmotivated you may be content to stick with sounds good in the moment. In general , this aspect can give you an optimistic boost  – there may be something more to look forward to, or you could simply enjoy celebrating what’s happening in your life right now. Events may connect back to June 2nd-3rd.

However, Mercury/Pluto will remind you that there’s more at stake- watch for fixations on one idea, or external challenges that force you to question a creative or romantic dream. 

The Sun into your sector of self-expression, and the square to Chiron, can reactivate issues around feeling less talented, less deserving or less attractive. Lack of confidence in a key area can go back to May 20th and June 13th-  emotional or financial resources may be the trigger.

Overview

Painful Words

Mercury enters sensitive Cancer (ruled by the Moon) on June 12th, blending intellect and information with feelings and needs. The touchiness of this transit is enhanced by Mercury’s square to Chiron in Aries until June 13th – words will be painful and it will be difficult to say the right thing. Everything will be taken personally. 

Mercury goes on to oppose Saturn Rx on June 15th, clearly defining the limits and responsibilities around the words. This is about what you can’t say or what you have to say, and it probably won’t be comforting. But this opposition is also about communicating like an adult, and it can mark a formal verbal or written result. 

Gemini New Moon

Also on June 13th we have a Gemini New Moon (ruled by Mercury) so you can bet that any new choices, information or conversations will hi-light what’s painful or awkward. The best approach is to remember that Chiron’s wounds need to be confronted (in a way that doesn’t do more damage, of course). The painful discussion is your cue to look more closely at what’s hurting and why. This Moon will also be challenged by a confusing square to Neptune and awkward inconjuncts to Pluto Rx and Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn (for added undercurrents of power, resentment and anxiety). A complicated Moon, to be sure. 

Venus in Leo

And there’s more happening on June 13th, as Venus enters proud, powerful Leo and squares Uranus in Taurus to June 14th. Venus in Leo is about boldly acknowledging what you want and what you’re worth – there’s nothing modest about this placement. Uranus will electrify things with the unexpected, as money/relationships/self-esteem are rocked by revelations or new attractions.

Venus trines Chiron up to June 15th, so here’s the release for any painful issues that came up around the New Moon. Creative risk or putting yourself out there may be essential for addressing Chiron’s wounds. Perhaps being open about what hurts will appeal to your audience or add to your attraction. When Venus harmonizes with Chiron, she enables empathy and a strange kind of magnetism. There’s beauty in what hurts and Leo adds pride – there’s no shame in being wounded or uncertain. 

Aries

The New Moon in your communication sector, and Mercury square Chiron in your sign, suggest new discussions/information about family (especially siblings) or other domestic issues can be painful. Sensitive information from the past will be especially uncomfortable because it’s so personal, and your judgement may be clouded by secrets or unacknowledged issues. Nonetheless, this is a discussion/realization that has to happen. As Mercury in your domestic sector opposes Saturn, external rules or someone in authority may put the pressure on. Official documents or career results can be an issue. 

Aspects to Venus in your sector of self-expression can trigger a surprising/electric attraction, impulse purchase or disruptive event involving children/pregnancy. It may be risky to get what you want- proceed carefully. The trine to Chiron in your sign suggests that, if handled correctly, these energies can enable a release of painful feelings and a renewal of confidence (if the wound is confronted). You may need to step out, claim the spotlight or take pride in who you are/what you want, even in the midst of painful personal dynamics. 

Taurus

The New Moon in your sector of personal resources, and Mercury in your communication sector square Chiron, suggest a dissatisfying or anxiety-producing discussion/discovery about earned money or personal values. You may not get what you ask for, or the terms of the agreement can trigger hidden vulnerabilities. Straightforward communication will be difficult, but Mercury/Saturn will send an unavoidable reality check. Watch for enforced choices or official results involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing. 

Aspects to Venus in your domestic sector (including the square to Uranus in your sign) can trigger surprising family dynamics, an unexpected move or sudden impatience with your existing home environment. Your desire for change may surprise everyone, especially if you never realized (until now) that you wanted something. Venus/Chiron suggests this is part of a secret wound – it’s time to be honest about a domestic relationship/desire. 

Gemini

The New Moon in your sign, and Mercury in your personal resources sector square Chiron, suggest new info about money, personal values and group dynamics that triggers a sore spot. Your connection to the public (along with any insecurities and feelings of not belonging) will be combined with a personal request or decision about what you’re worth. Professional disillusionment and hidden power plays/suspicions will also play a role. Mercury/Saturn will pinpoint financial or emotional restrictions – you may not get what you ask for, or someone else’s boundaries may limit your options.  

Aspects to Venus in your communication sector add in a surprising conversation, statement or discovery. You may hear something good (or flirtatious) that catches you off guard. Or, you may be the one who suddenly speaks out about what you want. This open communication will be key to addressing any social sensitivities. When in doubt, speak up and use your charm or creativity. You may be surprised at the appeal of your words as you openly admit to what hurts. 

Cancer

The New Moon in your hidden sector, and Mercury in your sign square Chiron, suggest a secret issue can trigger some painful discussions or realizations about career, status or success. You may be openly addressing what no one wants to talk about, or what’s in the background. However, know that you may not have the full story and some of what you’re learning will be false or misleading. Mercury/Saturn can deliver an ultimatum or ending involving a partner or competitor – someone else’s rules will delver a sharply defined answer. 

Aspects to Venus in your sector of personal resources can deliver an unexpected twist involving earned money or self-esteem. A surprising expense, change in income or jolt to your security can also be a wake-up call about what you really want. Use this clarity to address insecurities or lack of success in your career/future goals. You may need to change the way you earn money or treat yourself. What are you really worth?

Leo

The New Moon in your social sector, and Mercury in your hidden sector square Chiron, suggest a public choice, discussion or announcement that’s shadowed by sensitive secrets. What’s discussed publicly (with a friend or group) will involve painful issues that are not fully acknowledged, and background issues around lack of boundaries (in money or intimacy) will influence what you say or choose. Make sure you’re totally aware of what’s happening, rather than allowing yourself to operate on unconscious programming. Mercury/Saturn will pinpoint certain facts and realities (involving work, health or routine) that must be openly acknowledged. This may involve an obligation to someone else, or self-care. 

Aspects to Venus in your sign can trigger a sudden attraction, surge of attention or impulse to approach career/professional issues in a new way. There can be innovation and/or disruption, as you what you want/love unfolds in an odd way. Professional attention can come at you when you least expect it. Venus/Chiron suggests these abrupt developments can ease you into new territory that allows you to embrace insecurities or fear of the unknown. This could be a case of you getting your mojo back as you celebrate what makes you special, and others may  even be attracted to your open acknowledgment of difficulties. 

Virgo

The New Moon in your career sector, and Mercury in your social sector square Chiron, presents a new career path, approach to business, job offer or discussion with management. However, the details may be unclear or you may be distracted by a competitor/partnership (consider if you’re projecting issues onto the other person). Developments will involve sensitive public relationships and you may feel insecure about what you’re saying and how it will be received. Your professional image may take a hit, and Mercury/Saturn will clearly define what you must openly acknowledge. Too, Saturn can define the limits of an official contract or announcement. 

Aspects to Venus in your hidden sector can stir up surprising innovations or an unexpected (and secret) desire or attraction. Tune into what’s intriguing, even if it makes no logical sense – there’s a clue about how you can move forward, and the trine to Chiron offers healing and release on a deep level. Perhaps finally acknowledging something (involving money or intimacy) will allow you to integrate uncomfortable issues. 

Libra

The New Moon in your opportunities sector, and Mercury in your career sector square Chiron, suggests new info/choices involving education, legal matters, travel or publishing. What’s in front of you may appear to be limitless and/or confusing, and you may also be dealing with vulnerabilities and difficult conversations in a professional context. New details may not be welcome, and a competitor/partner could trigger some painful insights. Mercury/Saturn will define exactly what you must say regarding a conversation with management or an official statement. Too, there could be a formal document that delineates an ending/result. 

Aspects to Venus in your social sector can stir up unexpected meetings, attractions or interactions with the public. You may be drawn to someone unusual, or an odd/intriguing group. Too, you may be compelled to display your true colours or show a side of yourself that’s uncharacteristic. The surprise can clarify things while providing you with a release regarding relationship difficulties. The courage to stand out from the group or express yourself honestly can help you address partnership (or competitor) insecurities, while increasing your public appeal.

Scorpio

The New Moon in your sector of shared resources, and Mercury in your opportunities sector square Chiron, can stir up uncomfortable details regarding debts, taxes, your partner’s finances or intimacy. New information or conversations can reveal too much, or make you aware of certain vulnerabilities involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing. At the same time, some of what you hear or intuit may be misleading – consider the difference between what you hope to hear versus what’s actually being revealed. Mercury/Saturn can clarify legal or official limits, or indicate a formal ending/result/graduation. 

Aspects to Venus in your career sector can jolt you with an unexpected relationship, challenge to your professional image or change to your career path/connection to management. Partnership developments can throw you off track or wake you up to future possibilities. Venus/Chiron suggests that putting yourself out there, polishing your professional image or cultivating a key relationship can help your work image or assuage doubts about performance, if you stick with pride and confidence over superficial grabs for attention. Maintain your dignity even in the face of unpredictable events. Others may be looking to you to set an example. 

Sagittarius

The New Moon in your partnership sector, and Mercury in your sector of shared resources square Chiron, suggests some sensitive relationship conversations or choices. A new development will involve painful explorations of debts, taxes, your partner’s finances or intimacy, and the lack of balance between the two of you may be an issue. Be aware that family history or ongoing issues at home can confuse the matter – make sure you stick to the subject and don’t allow other issues to bleed in and distract you. Mercury/Saturn can help by hi-lighting essential financial or emotional facts that must be addressed. What you don’t have enough of, or where you need to cut back, will be themes. Too, there could be financial documents to be considered. 

Aspects to Venus in your sector of opportunities can reveal something unexpected, jarring and/or tempting. Long-distance romance, travel, education, legal matters or publishing can offer up exciting developments, but the risk factor is high. However, taking a calculated risk may be in your best interests, because this will help you deal with lack of confidence or feelings of rejection. Nothing is guaranteed, but it might be time to put yourself out there. 

Capricorn

The New Moon in your sector of routine, and Mercury in your partnership sector square Chiron, can raise some difficult issues around who gives more, or who feels unappreciated, in a relationship. There may be a significant imbalance that needs to be addressed, and the Moon’s inconjunct to Pluto/Black Moon Lilith in your sign can make it difficult for you to approach matters in a rational manner. Watch for attempts to manipulate, and pay attention to anger/resentment that’s building beneath the surface. You may find it challenging to focus on the main issue, but it’s essential that you communicate clearly and honestly, and listen fully (without judgement, without anger). If you’re feeling disempowered or unaccepted, own this and speak up. 

Aspects to Venus in your sector of shared resources suggest a deep and surprising attraction, obsession or urge to get closer. Money and intimacy matters may feel out of control and wildly impulsive – you can break through a barrier or risk too much. Therefore, it’s essential that you remain conscious of what you’re giving or expecting. Venus/Chiron suggests developments can help you access a deeper level of healing, especially if you’re ready to confront secrets or taboo family issues. Now’s the time for courageous honesty about the past and the buried present. 

Aquarius

The New Moon in your sector of self-expression, and Mercury in your sector of routine square Chiron, can open up new possibilities involving a creative project, children, a new attraction or a celebration. The urge to risk it all or believe the fantasy will be strong – creativity is enhanced but reality is not. You’ll also be aware of awkward health or work issues that present a flaw; there’s an area of weakness, imperfection or difficulty that can’t quite be fixed. Mercury/Saturn will pinpoint the exact obligation or diagnosis, along with what you must do or say to address it. 

Aspects to Venus in your partnership sector can trigger a surprising new attraction or unexpected left turn in an existing relationship. You may be caught off guard by the quality of this attraction (not your usual type) or by what your partner reveals they actually want. The overall theme is stepping outside your relationship comfort zone, and Venus/Chiron encourages you to openly discuss matters – events will open your eyes to a path of forgiveness, release or empathetic confrontation with ongoing doubts/insecurities. Venus/Chiron can also suggest a partner who introduces you the bitter-sweet blend of love, pain and healing. 

Pisces

The New Moon in your domestic sector, and Mercury in your sector of self-expression square Chiron, can reveal some touchy issues involving home, family, children, a home business or your right to self-expression within the family. Money (or lack of it) can be an issue, and the Moon’s square to Neptune in your sign suggests mixed messages or lack of focus on the real issue. It will be easy to become distracted by everything besides what really matters. Mercury/Saturn can help, as you’re reminded of a key area where your words/ideas are restricted. As unpleasant as this may be, Mercury/Saturn defines what you’re responsible for – what you must say (in a public context) or what you must do to manifest your ideas (wishful thinking is not enough). In some cases, this can be a public ending or result. 

Aspects to Venus in your sector of routine can stir up unexpected breaks involving health, work or obligations. There may be a surprising spot of assistance, or unexpected developments around a solution or diagnosis. Venus/Chiron suggests the disruption can ultimately lead to healing or improvement, as well as an improved approach to financial and emotional security. You may discover a workaround in an area where you thought you were lacking.

Overview

Sun Conjunct Mercury in Gemini

The June 5th superior conjunction between the Gemini Sun and Mercury makes an incompatible inconjunct to Jupiter Rx in Scorpio. In the Sun/Mercury cycle, this is a “Full Moon” aspect –  it’s a result connected to the last Sun/Mercury conjunction (on April 1st when Mercury was Rx in Aries). This conjunction in Gemini suggests an illumination of key details or choices, but the tense aspect to Jupiter suggests discord between these details versus the enthusiastic exposure of deep truths. There needs to be an adjustment between depth and flexibility, illumination and secrets.

As Sun/Mercury go on to square Neptune from June 6th to 7th, the challenge will be to find the missing info, identify valid choices (some of them will be false) and be aware of deceit. This could be someone else’s lies or your own airbrushing of the truth. 

From June 8th to 11th, the Sun and Mercury will makes inconjuncts to Pluto Rx in Capricorn, adding in suspicions and hints of covert power plays. There will be awareness of something more behind the words, but the trick will be to balance this against paranoia. Unconscious impulses can distort information. 

Venus Opposite Pluto

Also on June 5th, Venus in Cancer opposes Pluto Rx in Capricorn. The most sensitive cravings (for love, security, food or comfort) will be intensified and challenged. Pluto presses the finger on what you feel you must have while triggering anxieties that it will be taken away. This peak/result/ending can be compulsive and overwhelmingly intense, so it’s helpful to realize that oppositions always involve projection. Consider if the object of your desire actually reflects what you have within you.

Mars Conjunct the South Node

On June 8th, Mars in Aquarius makes the first of three conjunctions to the South Node. The repeat hits will be due to Mars’ Rx, and indicate sustained effort (or the need to redo and accept delays) as you attempt to liberate yourself from the past or take something to a place of creative pride, power and joy. Mars in Aquarius agitates for freedom, independence and the future – this is about moving forward, even if you initially feel stuck. Don’t give up if it doesn’t work out the first time – this influence will extend to September 27th.

Aries

Aspects to Sun/Mercury in your communication sector can present an answer, decision or final piece of information connected to the April 1st Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction (in your sign). However, clarity may be an issue as secrets/unconscious factors blur the facts. You may struggle with anxiety over power plays (from someone in authority) and a disconnect between private issues involving money/intimacy versus public details. You’ll have to choose what’s discussed openly versus what’s better left unspoken. At the same time, it will be crucial that you keep an eye out for missing details – keep your story straight and be aware that others might try to manipulate. 

Venus in your domestic sector opposes Pluto Rx, suggesting that career issues will lead to an intense conclusion at home/with family. Professional goals versus what you want at home may be a theme, and there can be an intensified craving for success/status that will impact your home life. Watch for parent/child dynamics, even if your actual parents are not involved (in this case, a manger may fill the parent role). Too, there can be a major domestic transformation (relocation, home renovation, home business) based on external power. 

Mars makes the first of three conjunctions to the South Node in your social sector. A key group dynamic, connection to the public or friendship may be triggered by conflict, passion or the active pursuit of an ideal. Consider where you’re directing your energy and what you hope to achieve. One shot will not be the end of story, so be prepared for a drawn out, public battle or project (that features delays).

Taurus

Aspects to Sun/Mercury in your sector of personal resources can deliver a choice, document or discussion connected to the April 1st Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction (in your hidden sector). What began behind the scenes has now manifested as information/conversations around earned money, self-esteem or values. You may waver about what you really want, or find it difficult to clarify the terms of the agreement. Big-picture issues (involving travel, law, education or publishing) can trigger insecurity or paranoia, while partnership expectations can make it difficult to focus on what really matters. It will be easy to forget what your primary needs are but it’s essential that you narrow down your demands and focus on what matters most. 

Venus in your communication sector opposes Pluto Rx, indicating a powerful answer, announcement or decision. There may be some good news with a shadow side, or what you want to hear/say may be challenged by something greater than you. You may be compelled to demand something, or hunt compulsively for a desired outcome. Know that the power of words/ideas will be amplified by what you think you must have. Use caution when delivering your message, because the impact will be greater than you realize. If you’re receiving a message, consider what’s behind the words or what’s being projected. 

Mars makes the first of three conjunctions to the South Node in your career sector, activating an issue with authority/goals from the past. Your actions, ambitions or response to a challenge can conclude a job search, project or position in your current work place. But the result will extend over the next few months – you may have to keep trying or keep hammering at the glass ceiling. Too, if you stubbornly refuse to alter your future course, these energies could be an extended push that accelerates your exit. 

Gemini

Aspects to Sun/Mercury in your sign suggest a realization, choice or announcement connected to the April 1st Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction (in your social sector). You may be responding to a key person/public issue or speaking out about what’s most important. But misguided or confused professional goals can muddy the waters, while suspicions/fears and overenthusiastic promises about work/health can compromise your message. Choose your words carefully and don’t assume that others are hearing exactly what you’re saying. 

Venus in your sector of personal resources opposes Pluto Rx, hi-lighting an intense want involving earned money or security. You may feel compromised (especially by a partner) or vulnerable, and issues of financial or emotional control may come up. The key is examining what you feel you must have – can you provide it for yourself, or does someone else hold the power? 

Mars makes the first of three conjunctions to the South Node in your sector of opportunities, activating issues around travel, education, legal matters or publishing. This could be the start of your crusade, long journey or passionate fight to draw attention to something that reflects your ideals. Too, you could be wrapping up a journey or course of education. 

Cancer

Aspects to Sun/Mercury in your hidden sector can open up a background choice, secret or intuitive piece of info connected to April 1st Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction (in your career sector). You may be dealing with undefined or work-in-progress issues related to career, or maybe you have to take a step back and rethink your goals. While you have a core idea, you may be confused about which direction to take it – there could be an abundance of choices. Too, power plays/competition and overenthusiastic hopes can throw you off track. Your task is to keep it as real as you can while not extinguishing the dream and creative momentum. There’s much you don’t know yet – this is a process with unexpected paths. 

Venus in your sign opposes Pluto Rx, emphasizing parent/child dynamics in a relationship. You may feel helpless, needy or at the mercy of another who seems to hold all the cards, but consider if you’re projecting what you crave onto them. The person who seems to b essential actually reflects what you need to develop within yourself. In some cases, a relationship may turn a major corner, leading to a permanent transformation. 

Mars makes the first of three conjunctions to the South Node in your sector of shared resources. Debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or intimacy may be areas where energy has come to a peak and a sensitive matter needs to be addressed. This may make you feel vulnerable, but it’s part of the process of detaching yourself from undermining habits and dependencies  – you’re moving to a place of power and pride in your own self-sufficiency. 

Leo

Aspects to Sun/Mercury in your social sector bring results connected to the April 1st Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction (in your opportunities sector). A social event, public announcement or discussion with friends may be featured, but the message will be undermined by hidden fears or illusions. Efforts to control or improve can add an edge to what’s being discussed, and family/domestic issues can be distracting. Remember that your words/ideas will be public, even if some of the issues that are driving them are not. Be wary of unconscious slips, unclear boundaries and mismanaged expectations. 

Venus in your hidden sector opposes Pluto Rx, activating hidden desires and cravings. What you haven’t admitted to will reach a point of no return – you may have to let go or fully acknowledge a health, work or routine issue. Secret attractions can be intense and all-consuming, and this aspect suggests a turning point. 

Mars makes the first of three conjunctions to the South Node in your relationship sector, opposing the North Node in your sign. So begins the process of sorting out a partnership issue, or your approach to partnerships in general. Competition, challenges or assertiveness from someone else (or a past relationship) will push you to actualize an area in your life that is ripe for development. This may require a goodbye (to a person or partnership habit) or a wrap-up of a past relationship. Even if someone else seems to be calling the shots, you choose if you want to move forward or not. 

Virgo

Aspects to Sun/Mercury in your career sector deliver results connected to the April 1st Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction (in your sector of shared resources). What was hidden or private will now be spoken about publicly, or applied to future goals/professional image. Watch for a conversation with management, a career announcement or business choice. However, a particular relationship (personal or business) can confuse the issue and erode the clarity/professionalism of your words. At the same time, you’ll be dealing with tension between specific details versus an enthusiastic dive into a compelling issue, plus a forceful desire to get attention/appreciation. The push for more/better can compromise professional standards – speak with caution, and double check all promises (including you own). 

Venus in your social sector opposes Pluto Rx, amplifying issues around a friendship, group affiliation or your connection to the public. A launch, ending or attraction can pack more power than you anticipated, and you’ll certainly grab public attention. Therefore, you want to make sure that the attention you’re receiving is aligned with what you actually want- others can project deeper motivations onto you. Unrequited attraction , jealousy or unpleasant responses are possible risks. While you can’t control others, you can make sure your intent and responses are honest and balanced. 

Mars makes the first of three conjunctions to the South Node in your sector of routine. Health, daily work and service to others are areas where you may experience challenges, extra work or pressure to upgrade. There’s a specific task that’s just beginning, and it  involves breaking away from old habits/routines that have been holding you back. An extended conflict with a co-worker is another possibility.  

Libra

Aspects to Sun/Mercury in your sector of opportunities deliver results connected to the April 1st Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction (in your partnership sector). A relationship conversation/decision can now go further, or you can experience added freedom as you see what lies beyond your immediate horizons. Travel, education, legal matters or publishing are areas where you can learn more. However, what you discover may overwhelm you with endless possibilities, and not all of them will be valid. A key weakness can undermine future plans. There can be confusion about details, or unrealistic hopes/ideals. Financial and domestic issues can add further tension as you attempt to juggle new info with developments. The key is rising above your past/ security fears, while keeping your eye on the truth and reminding yourself that new discoveries must be balanced with your existing foundation. Be aware that “the truth” can be a flexible concept – don’t be afraid to ask questions. 

Venus in your career sector opposes Pluto Rx, delivering a conclusion around career, a professional relationship or your professional image. Changes/endings at home will drive these results, and personal matters can leak into business. A desired objective may be reached, but consider how issues from the past are driving it. Watch for parent/child dynamics to pop up and cross professional boundaries. 

Mars makes the first of three conjunctions to the South Node in your sector of self-expression. The process of creative or romantic pursuit begins, as you’re motivated to go after what you want. A passionate new attraction with a fated feeling (or an attraction from the past) could flare up. Too, you could be pushing to gain an audience for your work. While results will not be immediate, your goal is to gain a wider perspective on what you really want. Ultimately, this is not just about you. 

Scorpio

Aspects to the Sun/Mercury in your sector of shared resources deliver results connected to the April 1st Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction (in your sector of routine). You may receive deeper insight or private information about a health or work issue, and now the focus will be on shared finances, intimacy or psychological processes. This could be about counselling, financial choices or uncomfortable discussions/secrets. Details will be blurred by unrealistic desires or escapism, and the inconjunct to Jupiter Rx in your sign suggests you may lose track of the essential facts if you get caught up in something intensive. Looking for more/digging beneath the surface can distort your perspective, especially if paranoia is involved. Make an effort to step back and take a detached view of what’s happening – look at the facts. 

Venus in your sector of opportunities opposes Pluto Rx, delivering intensive results in the areas of travel, long distance romance, education, legal matters or publishing. A distant goal can feel like life or death, with all the power of obsessive thoughts and tunnel vision behind it. Too, there could be a powerful announcement/discussion that reveals a difficult truth behind what you want. 

Mars makes the first of three conjunctions to the South Node in your domestic sector. Here is the start of an extended process that revisits the past, your childhood or ongoing family issues. Actions/conflict are meant to stir up what you need to wrap up or step away from. Too, this could be about completing home renovations or relocating.  

Sagittarius

Aspects to the Sun/Mercury in your partnership sector deliver results connected to the April 1st Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction (in your sector of self-expression). Progress from attraction to relationship may be a theme. Too, you and your partner may engage in some back and forth about next steps or mutual plans. However, these discussions will be undermined by family patterns, addiction, illness or one partner’s dependency. Secret hopes and financial issues can also make straightforward discussion difficult. It may be challenging to get a straight answer  and your unacknowledged fears and expectations will colour things. 

Venus in your sector of shared resources opposes Pluto Rx, intensifying financial or intimacy issues. Something that you want from another may feel overwhelming and out of your control, so consider the dynamics of what you receive versus what you give. There may need to be a rebalancing, especially if one person has all the power.   

Mars makes the first of three conjunctions to the South Node in your communication sector. It may feel critical now that you make your voice heard – a key issue is pushing to be vocalized or written about because you want to take it further/reach a wider audience. You’ve got drive and passion, but know that this will be a drawn out process, with delays and rethinks. Nonetheless, it’s important for you to say your piece. 

Capricorn

Aspects to the Sun/Mercury in your sector of routine deliver results connected to the April 1st Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction (in your domestic sector). A solution or improvement involving health, daily routine or work tasks may involve past family issues. There could be more to do and more information to juggle. But the details will be unclear, and it will be easy to overlook flaws and missing info. Misdiagnosis is also a risk.  The inconjunct to Pluto Rx in your sign can trigger efforts to micromanage, and you may also be dealing with the expectations of others. Remember to prioritize and focus on the immediate essentials, while accepting that you will not be able to control every last detail. Ask questions to gain clarity, and double-check all details. 

Venus in your partnership sector opposes Pluto Rx in your sign, amplifying your desire to control a relationship outcome. Know that you cannot control another person, and it’s possible that you’re projecting a desire onto them. In general, this energy can deliver a major partnership turning point, with parent/child undertones. Consider who calls the shots and if the balance of power is healthy. 

Mars makes the first of three conjunctions to the South Node in your sector of personal resources. Efforts to earn, pursue a new source of income or establish your security will involve an extended process where you balance self-sufficiency with trust in another. You may be looking at pooling your resources, or stepping away from a “me first” approach. Too, you could feel like you have to defend yourself/your resources and the challenge will be to recognize if this is legitimate or part of old, invalid programming. 

Aquarius

Aspects to Sun/Mercury in your sector of self expression deliver results connected to the April 1st Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction (in your communication sector). Here is the bold statement or piece of writing- you’re putting it out there to grab attention in a flirtatious or creative way. There could be an answer about something you’ve been desiring, or even multiple, tempting choices. However, what you see, say or hear may be insubstantial or risky. It will be tempting to to go too far and say too much (some of this will be driven by unconscious motivations). Check the facts carefully before you decide, and make sure you can back up everything you’re offering.

Venus in your sector of routine opposes Pluto Rx, indicating a result around health, work routine or service to others. What you give or try to improve will be connected to more profound transformations that are happening in the background. This could be the permanent end of a habit, approach to service or work. Self-worth, self-esteem and self-improvement will be issues. Consider what’s really driving your efforts to make things better, or make someone else happy.

Mars makes the first of three conjunctions to the South Node in your sign, emphasizing a key action, initiative or expression of anger. You may be attempting to get the ball rolling on a project, relationship or lifestyle issue, and ultimately your goal will be a balanced exchange with someone else (this is not just about you). This is true, even if this features an ending. Things will not happen quickly, so be prepared for a drawn out conclusion or sustained effort. 

Pisces

Sun/Mercury in your domestic sector delivers results connected to the April 1st Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction (in your personal resources sector). An answer/choice (about relocation or a home business) or a family discussion will be featured, but the square to Neptune in your sign makes it unfocused and may deliver more questions than answers. Also, watch for unregulated expectations/ideals and an undercurrent of suspicion or hostility from the public. Lots of external factors will make personal choices tricky – remind yourself what the key issue is and consider if you’re sending or receiving mixed messages. 

Venus in your sector of self-expression opposes Pluto Rx, hi-lighting an intense attraction or desire. You may want something/someone beyond all reason, and here is the peak (or ending). This can be wonderful or upsetting, depending on how the “other” (including the public) reacts, and if there are any projections happening. You may become the target for someone else’s desires or judgments. You may project obsession onto someone. Too, if this marks the launch of a creative/artistic effort, you can be sure it will have a profound impact. 

Mars makes the first of three conjunctions to the South Node in your hidden sector. This is the start of an extended effort to bring something out into the open, or move from escape/denial into the real world. There may be a struggle to attain clarity, ground yourself or pull away from addictions/secrets of the past. Keep working/pushing and remind yourself that it’s all about improving your daily life.
