Mercury and Venus Noise

Mercury and Venus are challenged this week. 

May 7th sees Mercury in Aries squaring Pluto Rx, then Mars (both in Capricorn) on May 12th. Mercury in Aries is impulsive and hot-tempered, so the square to Pluto can intensify this with manipulative attempts at domination, while Mars triggers outright hostility. All this will come out in words or crisis-driven thoughts. Mercury’s explosive conjunction with Uranus on May 13th wraps it up with a jolting conclusion and shot of clarity, followed by Mercury’s Taurus ingress. The gears shift abruptly as thoughts slow down and focus on immediate resources. The hot words that were being flung around will come down to earth with a crash as sh*t gets real. 

Venus in Gemini squares Neptune on May 7th, makes an inconjunct to Jupiter Rx in Scorpio on May 9th and anohter inconjunct to Pluto Rx on May 12th. Neptune will offer seductive and confusing choices involving relationships, money or values. Something may look very good, or you may think you have plenty to choose from. But the reality will be quite different. Venus in Gemini’s flexibility will be distorted, because all choices will seem possible (even if none of them are). 

Inconjuncts are always tricky, because they link incompatible energies. Venus/Jupiter can increase a longing for more without clarifying what that “more” consists of, while Venus/Pluto suggests undercurrents of jealousy or fear of losing what you have. The key with any inconjunct is to work with both sides. Decide what you want (Venus in Gemini) then use the Jupiter/Pluto triggers to look at what you feel you’re missing, or are afraid of. Rather than giving in to the fear or craving, consider what it’s telling you about your current situation. What are the facts (Gemini) behind what you want?

Your Real Goal

In the midst of this we have a Sun/Jupiter opposition (discussed in last week’s horoscopes) on May 8th, fortified by a trine between the Taurus Sun and Pluto on May 11th. Here we have the conclusion with a high probability of success. The Sun can illuminate what Jupiter Rx in Scorpio has uncovered – resources, truths or power. Or Shadow issues. But when Jupiter is in play, there’s always a chance that you can turn something difficult (even Shadow stuff) into something fortunate. Pluto adds intensity, strength and the ability to make it happen (manifestation).

The catch? Navigating the Mercury and Venus mess – don’t get sidetracked by delusions or verbal conflicts. Not that you should ignore these issues of course. But there will be a strong temptation to get wrapped up in the messiness, to lose yourself in the fantasy or the mudslinging or the vengeful/paranoid thoughts. Attend to the issues but keep yourself above the fray. The exception to this is the Mercury/Uranus conjunction- it will be an unavoidable, essential truth. 

 The Sun/Jupiter opposition is your main goal for this week; keep your eyes on the prize. This goes back to Jupiter Rx – what area of expansion are you refining and focusing? Where are you going deeper?

Aries

Aspects to Mercury in your sign (including the conjunction to Uranus) suggest that you may hammer your point across, or your words may be challenged by someone in authority. Communication and information will be jolting and possibly hostile, but you’ll also be strongly motivated to say what needs to be said. The truth can be harsh as power plays and manipulations are unearthed. As Mercury is propelled by Uranus into your sector of personal resources, you’ll take what you’ve discovered and apply it to immediate survival issues. Finances, self-esteem and security will be first on your list. 

Aspects to Venus in your communication sector suggest confusing messages, odd flirtations and misunderstandings. It’s absoltuely essential that you confirm the facts in a conversation, meeting or first contact. There’s a chance that you’ll fill in the blanks  with what you’re hoping for, rather than the facts. Watch for niggling feelings of dissatisfaction and suspicion, regarding career, shared finances and intimacy.

Fortunately, aspects to the Sun in your sector of personal resources spell overall success and abundance. Financial and career matters can reach a satisfying conclusion, as long as you’re not thrown off track by the tricky aspects to Mercury and Venus. 

Taurus

Aspects to Mercury in your hidden sector indicate the rough reveal of a secret or unacknowledged issue. Whether this is something you’ve been actively hiding, or you simply weren’t aware of what was in your blindspot, the unspoken will come out due to challenges involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing. Too, you may be pushed to speak out as your passion or anger is triggered. Mercury is propelled by Uranus into your sign, suggesting that everything will come out in a rush of truth and clarity. 

Aspects to Venus in your sector of personal resources can encourage you to spend, give or sacrifice. Be very cautious with finances or relationships – it will be easy to get distracted by promises and dreams, while also feeling a vague sense of insecurity and emptiness (as if what you have is not quite enough). Partnership issues can leave you wanting more. Take stock of your actual resources and values, and make sure you’re not undermining yourself with yearnings for what’s impossible. 

Aspects to the Sun in your sign do promise a successful partnership conclusion with room for future growth and empowerment. You can go far with the right support, as long as the above aspects to Mercury and Venus don’t weaken your grip on reality. 

Gemini

Aspects to Mercury in your social sector suggest buried tensions involving debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances, intimacy or psychological issues can trigger public tensions with friends or groups. Use care with public statements – hidden anger/frustration can give your words considerable impact. Too, this could be about the public reveal of a secret. As Mercury conjoins Uranus and then enters your hidden sector, watch for an explosive finale to the above that sees you pulling back to process and gather your thoughts. 

Aspects to Venus in your sign see you getting carried away with certain work issues. Something may look very promising, but your perception of what’s achievable will be distorted. Your professional image could be impacted. Watch for the temptation to take on too much, say “Yes” to something inappropriate, or accept a solution that may not be in your best interests. Deeper issues involving suspicion, jealousy or anxiety about losing control can also influence you.  

Aspects to the Sun in your hidden sector are hopeful, as a hidden/undeveloped potential   comes to fruition. Your adjustments to work routines, health or dealings with co-workers could pay off, and you’ll find that you also have access to deeper resources (financial or emotional) that empower you. But in order to make the most of these aspects. you’ll need to be very aware of what’s driving you (instincts, anger) while making wise choices regarding your career/professional relationships.  

Cancer

Aspects to Mercury in your career sector suggest a partnership or competitor can trigger some edgy professional conversations or statements. It may be difficult to keep your cool and respond in a mature manner, but that’s exactly what you’ll have to do. Don’t allow someone else to pull your strings. Mercury’s conjunction to Uranus, followed by its move into your social sector, suggests this will culminate in a surprising discovery or career announcement. What comes out will immediately turn your attention to its impact on the bigger picture (including your connection to the public). A public launch can take off in an unexpected direction. 

Aspects to Venus in your hidden sector can stir up vague longings, illusions about what’s next and manipulations in a relationship. Much will be centred around what you’re not fully aware of, or what you’re denying.  A romantic attraction can be misleading, or your desire for something more can lead you down the wrong path. 

Aspects to the Sun in your social sector suggest a successful launch or the growth of a relationship, but much will depend on how you handle what’s going on behind the scenes. You’ll need to differentiate between what’s real and reliable, versus what’s distracting or completely irrational. However, even illusions can be helpful – pay attention to where you’re feeling let down, where you’re craving more, or why you want to escape. These are clues about what needs attention in your life. 

Leo

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of opportunities can trigger tense conversations/announcements involving education, travel, legal matters or publishing. Workload may be an issue, or you could be pressured to supply a solution. You may be fired up by a legal or ethical challenge. Too, health matters could challenge big-picture plans. As Mercury conjoins Uranus then enters your career sector, watch for an explosive conclusion to the above, followed by a change in focus- big-picture goals or passionate/angry ideals will now be put firmly into context as you see how your professional life/image is impacted. Too, this could be when you get serious about making impulsive statements real. 

Aspects to Venus in your social sector can blur the lines between platonic and romantic, or true friendship versus manipulation a passing acquaintance. Social cues will be challenging to read, or you could be the one who’s sending out mixed messages. Watch for undercurrents of insecurity or restlessness based on issues close to home. 

Aspects to the Sun in your career sector suggest a powerful conclusion around a job search, your current professional efforts or future goals (including relocation). Success is a possibility, and this will be due in part to your readjustment of domestic and work/health issues. However, the challenging aspects to Mercury and Venus are a warning to pay close attention to what’s being said (versus what you suspect or hope for) while also ensuring that your communication and intentions are crystal clear.   

Virgo

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of shared resources can stir up volatile conversations or insights around debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or intimacy. The subject matter will be sensitive, but this energy is driven by anger, ambition, passion or recklessness. Choose your words carefully and understand that you cannot force a desired response. On the plus side, what’s been buried will come out, especially when Mercury conjoins Uranus. Watch for an explosive reveal or moment of clarity. As Mercury enters your sector of opportunities, the above reveal will open up new perspectives. You may see that there’s more to this than you first thought, or the shock may propel you to forward to learn more/speak out. 

Aspects to Venus in your career sector can make professional relationships tricky. A partnership (business or romantic) can be confusing, so make sure the lines between your personal and professional life are clearly drawn. It may seem as if you have multiple choices, but all of them are not viable. Overestimating your reach and falling prey to jealousy/paranoia are also risks – don’t get distracted by thoughts of what might be, or someone else’s success.

Aspects to the Sun in your sector of opportunities suggest an expansive announcement, graduation or public result that’s empowered by your efforts involving creative work, a special purpose or powerful desire. You can take this one much further, as long as you’re aware of the challenging aspects to Mercury and Venus. Your approach to professional matters will be key. 

Libra

Aspects to Mercury in your relationship sector can trigger volatile conversations with a partner. Domestic issues may be at the root of any conflicts, or, your efforts to move on from the past will create tension. Mercury’s conjunction to Uranus can abruptly end or accelerate the matter. Harmony will be difficult to achieve, so be open to what’s revealed while ensuring that your voice is heard. As Mercury enters your sector of shared resources, the above tension can open up deeper levels of communication, or get you thinking about the true nature of your relationship. 

Aspects to Venus in your sector of opportunities can present some tempting but misleading potentials in the areas of long-distance romance, travel, education, legal matters or publishing. What’s in front of you may be new and exciting, but approach with caution. There’s still much to learn. Feelings of dissatisfaction with what you have, a craving for more and deeper issues of insecurity/control (based in the past) can blur the lines. 

Aspects to the Sun in your sector of shared resources suggest promising results for domestic finances, personal abundance or an intimate relationship. You’ll discover, after a  process of refinement and adjustment, that there’s more to work with. But how you handle the challenging aspects to Mercury and Venus will be key.

Scorpio

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of routine suggest difficult conversations involving health, work routines or obligations to others. You may be pressured to fix, deliver or improve. Too, an error may be revealed, and Mercury’s conjunction with Uranus can drop some clarity in the form of an unexpected solution or your realization that current approaches to work/health/service can no longer continue. As Mercury enters your partnership sector, the above clarity will result in a more balanced approach to what you do for others. You’ll be looking at how much others value your work.

Aspects to Venus in your sector of shared resources can make smart choices regarding debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or intimacy difficult. The desire for an ultimate reward or romance can increase spending, illusions or an urge to lose yourself in someone. Inconjuncts to Jupiter Rx (in your sign) and Pluto Rx in your communication sector can stir up paranoia, jealousy or an insatiable craving for a something that’s difficult to pinpoint. Use caution regarding what you share or give. 

The Sun in your partnership sector opposite Jupiter Rx in your sign can illuminate a key relationship goal or result. Whether this is an ending or shift to something more substantial, there should be satisfaction with the way things are progressing. The trine to Pluto Rx indicates a commitment or powerful confirmation/agreement. However, success will depend on your approach to Mercury and Venus’ challenging aspects.

Sagittarius

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of self-expression can motivate you to speak out about an attraction, creative work or something you feel passionate about. Your voice will be unmistakable and attention-grabbing, so keep that in mind when you’re expressing yourself. In some cases, these energies can encourage you to take risks based on anger or impatience. Mercury’s conjunction with Uranus can deliver a jolt of truth, inspiration or courage. You may or may not like what you discover (or the responses you get) but Mercury’s move into your sector of routine will focus you on the practical essentials of how deal with what’s unfolded. Solutions will be forthcoming. 

Aspects to Venus in your partnership sector suggest that domestic issues, or issues from the past, can undermine relationship choices. Delusion can play a role, and this may not be the best time to count on a firm decision from your partner. Unspoken expectations and anxieties around loss/possessiveness can make things tricky. In some cases, you may be imagining an attraction. 

Aspects to the Sun in your sector of routine indicate a grounding influence which can counteract the above confusion. Watch for results involving your immediate routines, approach to work or health. Your efforts to strengthen financial and emotional security can empower these results, but make sure you don’t get distracted by what’s tempting but vague – focus on what you know is real. 

Capricorn

Aspects to Mercury in your domestic sector (including the squares to Pluto Rx and Mars in your sign) suggest conflicts involving family discussions, a home business or relocation. Your efforts to encourage (or force) something to happen can crank the tension up, until Mercury’s conjunction with Uranus blows the lid off with an ending, jolting truth or discovery about something from the past. You have a considerable amount of power in your corner  – use it wisely. Mercury’s move into your sector of self-expression speaks to cutting loose and making your voice heard. 

Aspects to Venus in your sector of routine can undermine work, health or obligations to others. Vague instructions, mixed messages or difficulty in deciding what you want can make solutions challenging. The inconjunct to Pluto Rx in your sign, and Jupiter Rx in your social sector, suggest an uneasy mix of desire to do more for others combined with undercurrents of manipulation and efforts to control your environment. Your intentions will be unclear, even to yourself. 

Jupiter’s opposition to the Sun in your sector of self-expression can bring a pleasing result or celebration in the areas of creative work, performance, a launch, new attraction or children/pregnancy. The trine to Pluto Rx in your sign says that you’ll be the prime source of manifestation  – you could get what you want. However, the challenging aspects to Mercury and Venus are a caution to clarify your desires and pull back a little on the power plays. 

Aquarius

Aspects to Mercury in your communication sector suggest volatile arguments, statements or verbal explosions will be driven by hidden anger and power plays. Unexamined motivations will be potent, so pay attention to what’s behind the words. Mercury’s conjunction with Uranus can signal a radical decision, discovery or final-straw outburst. Mercury’s move into your domestic sector indicates that the clarity you gain will be applied to home and family matters. Too, issues from the past may be examined in a new light. 

Aspects to Venus in your sector of self-expression can encourage flirtations, fantasies, intense creativity or unwise risks. This energy can go many ways – the choice is yours. Be wary of excessive spending, celebrating or getting caught up in a fantasy that costs you. You can use any feelings of restlessness, passion or longing to fuel creative work or alert you to what you’ve been avoiding/denying. 

Aspects to the Sun in your domestic sector suggests a culmination involving career, future goals or your professional image. A shift in perspective regarding these issues, or a more intensive focus on one area, can deliver positive results. A promotion, new job or change in goals will be powered up by a less obvious but potent drive to make it happen. There can be a dream-come-true vibe to this, as you finally align yourself with an ultimate goal. However, much depends on how you handle the challenging aspects to Mercury and Venus – unconscious motivations and conscious expectations can undermine or empower you, depending on your awareness and proper focus. 

Pisces

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of personal resources can trigger volatile discussions/decisions that impact your earned money, values or self-esteem. You may be on the defensive and feel like you need to verbally hit back or make demands. Public or social challenges can also motivate you to put yourself first. Mercury’s conjunction with Uranus indicates a surprising conclusion/reveal about money or security, and the force of this revelation can open your eyes to entirely new facts, as Mercury enters your communication sector. This is not the end of the story- you’re starting a whole new chapter. 

Aspects to Venus (including the square to Neptune in your sign) in your domestic sector suggest confusion around home and family (including relocation, buying/selling your home or domestic relationships). There may be hopeful illusions, unsatisfied expectations and a touch of paranoia/suspicion. Issues from the past, or current domestic habits, will make it difficult to see things clearly. 

Aspects to the Sun in your communication sector can bring a favourable announcement/decision with social support. Your words can have significant public impact. Or, you could learn something valuable that has significant long-range impact. Much depends on how you navigate the challenging aspects to Mercury and Venus. It will be easy to  lose focus – remember what your original goal was.

Overview

Working With Venus in Gemini

On May 1st, Venus in Gemini makes a hard inconjunct to Saturn Rx. An adjustment is needed between rules/limits versus desired choices. “Adjustment” does not mean “No.” You will have to narrow down the options and accept a bit less, or be a bit more serious/formal, but there’s still room for a positive outcome, once you discard what’s no longer available. 

May 2nd can deliver your positive outcome, as Venus in Gemini trines the Aquarius South Node and makes a sextile to the Leo North Node. The choices you have left (even if you’re not thrilled with them) can still help you develop something from the past into a creative or romantic result that shines. The key to your success will be working with Saturn’s rules, and carefully making the best possible choice. Maturity will be called for – work with what you have, even if you’re not 100% happy with it.  

Jupiter Rx is the Key

May 5th sees Mercury in Aries make an awkward inconjunct to Jupiter Rx in Scorpio. Expansion or hope won’t quite sit right with what you’re trying to say or understand. There can be a rush to answer/announce/understand, as Jupiter activates Mercury in Aries’ impatience. But there can also be doubts about what’s happening, which can result in careless decisions. Go slow and watch the details – adjust Jupiter Rx’s deeper focus with Mercury in Aries’ boldness, by carefully considering the facts, then courageously standing by your decision. 

On May 8th, the Taurus Sun opposes Jupiter Rx, delivering results based on your shift in perspective or deeper focus. How you’ve been handling Jupiter Rx is key:

 “Use this energy to refine what Jupiter’s brought you – Scorpio is about absolute truth and power that’s based on inner resources. Purge anything that’s not totally honest, essential for your evolution and honourably powerful… 

…if there is an intensification, it will happen in one area and that will be your cue to look even deeper and concentrate on that thing….Sometimes Jupiter’s growth means details are overlooked; Jupiter Rx is the time to catch what you missed by peeling back yet another layer of shadow.” 

This opposition can illuminate what’s behind that layer of shadow. 

By now, most of you are aware that May 15th, 2018 will be a big day – Uranus exits Aries for Taurus. The planet of freedom, risk and surprise enters a sign that’s all about preservation, caution and stability. 

What might this odd mix of energies mean for you? Check out my ebook and find out. 

Aries

Venus in your communication sector is challenged by Saturn Rx, suggesting enforced decisions that won’t make you happy. Someone in authority, or rules involving career, future goals or your professional image will make you feel shut down or denied. But you may still have a couple of options. Neither one will be perfect, and you’ll have to choose carefully, but it’s important that you make a choice. 

However, Venus’ easy aspects to the North and South Nodes suggest you’re still on the right track regarding social contacts or public attention for something you’re creating. Light, friendly communication (perhaps with someone from the past) and creative ideas can take you further. A new romance is possible, or perhaps a receptive audience for your work. 

Mercury in your sign makes an inconjunct to Jupiter Rx, suggesting certain enthusiastic ideas, or something you feel you must say, may be exaggerated. Shared finances, intimacy or psychological issues can push you to say too much, too soon. Something is ready to be openly communicated, but you’ll have to dial back the pushiness and carefully consider what you’re going to say. You don’t have to reveal everything. The Sun in your sector of personal resources opposes Jupiter Rx, indicating a culmination around finances or self-sufficiency. More can be revealed, and this can encompass extra resources or debt. Consider what belongs to you, what belong to them, and what’s essential for your survival. 

Taurus

Venus in your sector of personal resources is challenged by Saturn Rx, pointing to a shortfall in money or self-esteem. Rules/restrictions involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing can seem especially harsh, as you’re made aware of what you don’t have enough of. However, if you carefully follow the guidelines, you’ll discover that you’re not as locked-in as you thought. Rather than focusing on what’s lacking, consider how you can work with what you have. 

Venus’ easy aspects to the North and South Nodes suggest that you can do a lot with what’s available, even if you’re confronted with limits. A career matter may culminate in a favourable way, leading to better options at home. 

Mercury in your hidden sector makes an inconjunct to Jupiter Rx, suggesting enthusiastic partnership goals/growth may not be easily understood. One partner may have one thing in mind, while the other decides on something different but doesn’t clearly communicate it. Too, expectations can lead to misguided assumptions. This is the time to clearly state what you’re thinking, and then work with your partner to make it happen. The Sun in your sign opposes Jupiter Rx, suggesting a relationship culmination that features heightened expectations, hopes and future plans. Jupiter’s Rx status means those expectations have been reviewed and focused, and now you’ll see the results.

Gemini

Venus in your sign is challenged by Saturn Rx, putting a damper on your confidence or social efforts. You may feel less attractive/likeable as you’re confronted with limits involving shared finances, intimacy or personal boundaries. The key is to accept whatever limit you’re dealing with (or formalize your boundaries)while looking for the options within those limits. An enforced choice may be necessary. 

Venus’ easy aspects to the North and South Nodes suggest that, despite the above restrictions, you’ve still got the charm and wit to get your point across in the best way possible. Something that you’ve been trying to develop (involving education, travel, legal matters, publishing or beliefs) can be put into words and communicated with pride. 

Mercury in your social sector makes an inconjunct to Jupiter Rx, suggesting that public statements, or conversations/expectations involving friends/groups may be exaggerated or inaccurate. News/ideas involving health, routine, service or work tasks are legit, but have to be handled carefully – strive for accuracy and don’t rush it. The Sun in your hidden sector opposes Jupiter Rx, suggesting a hidden or background issue may be brought out into the open. This will be a conclusion, based on your efforts to recalibrate expansion in your daily life, or reprioritize duties/routines. As you look beneath the surface of your daily routines, you’ll see what hasn’t been obvious. 

Cancer

Venus in your hidden sector is challenged by Saturn Rx, indicating that relationship rules, limits or goals may conflict with a hidden desire or project. The rules can’t be avoided, but if you’re keeping your displeasure hidden, it might be helpful to communicate it. A slight compromise may be possible.  

However, Venus’ easy aspects to the North and South Nodes suggest that whatever’s hidden/in the background can pay off for you. This is about moving from dependence to self-sufficiency, or trusting that you’ve got the support/resources to build pride in your accomplishments. Financial issues may be key. 

Mercury in your career sector makes an awkward inconjunct to Jupiter Rx, suggesting that conversations with management or work announcements should be handled with care. There’s a big idea that has great potential, but it will easy to disclose too much, or over promise before you have all the details. Part of the rush may be overcompensation – you could have doubts about a talent or creative project. Be selective about what you say (especially if this is a launch or promotion) while still maintaining the core energy of enthusiasm. The Sun in your social sector opposes Jupiter Rx, suggesting a public result or launch that greatly expands your profile and reputation. The key to success will be your careful attention to one creative or romantic area. 

Leo

Venus in your social sector is challenged by Saturn Rx. Rules, pressure or restrictions around health, obligations or daily routine can indicate enforced social choices, or limits around a friendship, your public image or a group association. While you may feel restricted socially, know that a bit of compromise on your part, while sticking to the rules, can work in your favour. And, others may return the favour. 

Venus’ easy aspects to the South Node in your partnership sector and North Node in your sign suggest the above issues are part of a larger theme involving a specific relationship or your one-on-one relationships in general. New social contacts, or your openness to meeting, greeting and putting yourself out there (with an attitude of light curiosity) can help you gain pride and confidence when it comes to partnerships. A relationship can progress, based on your ability to consider new options. 

However, Mercury in your sector of opportunities makes an awkward inconjunct to Jupiter Rx, suggesting that you may need to go a bit slower with the new idea or plan. Before you make the big announcement, or believe the promise, step back and consider what’s been going on with home/family. An area of growth close to home may need to be put into perspective – pay extra attention to relocation plans. As the Sun in your career sector opposes Jupiter Rx, watch for culmination or reward involving career, your professional image or a home business. 

Virgo

Venus in your career sector is challenged by Saturn Rx, suggesting that image, work relationships or other career issues will be limited. There may be more work for you to do (in order to get what you want) or your reputation may be on the line. A few careful adjustments (keep it professional, but don’t discard your curiosity or new ideas) are all you need to make. 

Venus’ easy aspects to the North and South Node, suggest that your successful handling of these career and/or relationship issues can enable your next step to making a dream real, or breaking away from an outdated routine. Remember that there is more than one path to success. 

Mercury in your sector of shared resources makes an awkward inconjunct to Jupiter Rx, suggesting that exaggerated expectations/promises (and worries about not getting what you hoped for) can stir things up in the areas of debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or intimacy. There’s good potential here, but tune into the facts and details, rather than what you’re hoping will happen. Use extra care when discussing finances, and listen to what the other person is saying (or pay attention to details that you’ve uncovered). The Sun in your sector of opportunities opposes Jupiter Rx, suggesting expansive results around travel, education, legal matters or publishing. There could be an official announcement, graduation or finalization of plans that will take you further, all based on your increased focus and commitment to delivering the truth. 

Libra

Venus in your sector of opportunities is challenged by Saturn Rx, as domestic rules/responsibilities narrow down your choices in the areas of travel, education, long-distance romance, legal matters or publishing. Something desired is still within your reach, but you’ll have to make adjustments so you can work with what’s happening at home. 

Venus’ easy aspects to the North and South Nodes suggest that even with narrowed options, you can still make a favourable impact on the public or the group. Your efforts to  display or launch something that marks your unique talents can still proceed smoothly, via your ability to take a couple of risks and work with something (or someone) brand new. 

Mercury in your partnership sector makes an awkward inconjunct to Jupiter Rx, indicating that relationship conversations can be thrown off track by misaligned expectations involving money or emotional security. The answer doesn’t have to be “No” but the conversation will have to take into account revised spending, budgets or self-esteem issues. As the Sun in your sector of shared resources opposes Jupiter Rx, watch for a reward or satisfying conclusion involving finances, money owed, intimacy or security. Your efforts to refine and focus a financial or emotional desire will be key. 

Scorpio

Venus in your sector of shared resources is challenge by Saturn Rx, indicating pressure involving boundaries or a forced financial choice/restriction. Debts, taxes, your partner’s finances or intimacy are areas where you’ll have to obey an official rule/demand, or make adjustments due to a strict conversation. Nonetheless, you still have more to work with (just not as much as you’d hoped for). You may need to juggle some options where finances are concerned. 

Venus’ easy aspects to the North and South Nodes encourage you to keep aiming high, regarding career, future goals, a job search or home business. If you handle Saturn’s restrictions correctly, you’ll still be in good shape with domestic finances or plans for the future. Outward success depends on what happens behind the scenes. 

Mercury in your sector of routine makes an awkward inconjunct to Jupiter Rx in your sign. An area of growth/expansion/optimism must be adjusted to match details involving health, routines or obligations. There will be a temptation to take on more than you should, or ignore the little things in a rush to get something done, but don’t push yourself. You can handle a lot, but be mindful about what you say “Yes” to. The Sun in your partnership sector opposes Jupiter Rx, suggesting a hopeful relationship conclusion/result, that will be directly connected to your efforts to focus and narrow down what you’ve been trying to expand. 

Sagittarius

Venus in your partnership sector is challenged by Saturn Rx, indicating relationship tension or limits. Money (or lack of it) or demands for increased self-sufficiency (you’re not getting what you want from another) can narrow your romantic choices. However, if you play by the rules and maintain your budget/boundaries/self-control, you may find that you can still get some of what you were hoping for. 

Venus’ easy aspects to the North and South Node suggest that a partner or new attraction will be open to what you’re saying, and to your plans for the future. A specific person ( or your ability to attract the right people) is key to going public, getting published or taking it further. 

Mercury in your sector of self-expression makes an awkward inconjunct to Jupiter Rx. Big hopes or plans may not quite match the reality of what you’re trying to express, attract or show off. Your words can swing from overenthusiastic to pushy, as you attempt to get your point across. You may overcompensate due to worries about a plan or hope that’s still undeveloped. Measure your words and try to focus on what you can deliver in the moment, rather than vague plans for the future. Promising a bit less rather than more can be helpful. If you’re worried about what’s not developing, know that the Sun in your sector of routine opposes Jupiter Rx and will illuminate exactly what you’ve got to work with. Watch for successful results involving health, obligations, routines or work tasks. 

Capricorn

Venus in your sector of routine is challenged by Saturn Rx in your sign. There may be a need for more discipline in the areas of health, daily routine or work tasks. What you want (including solutions) may be defined and limited by your current responsibilities. Pick the most sensible option that still works for you, and go with that. 

Venus’ easy aspects to the North and South Nodes suggest that if you choose correctly, finances, emotional security or a relationship can progress nicely. The right decision applied to your daily life, self-care or approach to work/co-workers can help you progress to a more trusting place that allows you to move beyond limiting habits. 

Mercury in your domestic sector makes an awkward inconjunct to Jupiter Rx, making family discussions or domestic documents/decisions tricky. You’ll have to balance external prompts about what’s “best” with the actual facts of your home situation. At the same time, it can be tempting to rush a domestic decision or take on more than you have room for. Use caution regarding relocation, a home business or family changes – you don’t have to do everything all at once, and well-intentioned advice from outsiders may not be the perfect fit for you. The Sun in your sector of self-expression opposes Jupiter Rx, bringing a culmination around a public celebration, your social group or a public launch. Revising certain plans/relationships will deliver the best results. 

Aquarius

Venus in your sector of self-expression is challenged by Saturn Rx, as background or hidden fears/guilt/responsibilities put a damper on a celebration, new attraction or creative work. Before you continue having fun or expressing yourself, tune into what’s going on behind the scenes. There is reason to choose carefully and use caution, but you don’t need to completely snuff out your flame. Consider if the restrictions are legit, or if some of what’s holding you back is excessive (not your responsibility). 

However, Venus’ easy aspects to the South Node in your sign and North Node in your partnership sector can still help you move forward, especially where a relationship is involved. Your ability to keep it light, move quickly and remain open to multiple choices can help something lively develop. All one-on-one connections can benefit from your curiosity and sparkle. 

Mercury in your communication sector makes an awkward inconjunct Jupiter Rx, suggesting that you may be questioning career goals, business developments or future expansion, while also rushing to say “Yes” before you have all the facts. Slow down – it can only benefit you if you pay attention to all the details and deliver your answer/result with care. This also applies if you are thinking of taking on extra work – are you sure you can handle it? The Sun in your domestic sector opposes Jupiter Rx, bringing beneficial results around a professional project, job search or relocation. 

Pisces

Venus in your domestic sector is challenged by Saturn Rx, as family/domestic choices are limited by social rules or authority. A home business, family issue or relocation may not go exactly as you’d hoped, due to rules that are bigger than you. However, there’s still room for some favourable developments, after you establish what the limits are. 

Venus’ easy aspects to the North and South Nodes suggest that what’s happening at home is part of a larger issue around improving your daily routine or health. An issue from the past (even if it’s a dream or secret) can be confidently developed into something that actually works in your daily lie. The key will be support from family members, or careful selection of domestic options. 

Mercury in your sector of personal resources makes an awkward inconjunct to Jupiter Rx, and there is a caution here about making unwise decisions regarding money. Before you rush ahead with the big plan, or or invest in the future, make sure you have all the details nailed down. Insecurity about missing out can result in poorly-timed decisions that end up costing you. The Sun in your communication sector opposes Jupiter Rx, pointing to a favourable announcement or result involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing. Your shift in perspective in one of these areas will have led to this conclusion.
