Overview

December 6th connects Mars in Aquarius and Uranus Rx in Aries with a harmonious sextile, which is given more power by the planets’ mutual reception (they are in each other’s signs). This mutual understanding between action and liberation creates perfect timing for initiatives, forward movement and change in general. Excitement and energy increase, but it’s all manageable. These developments are a continuation of December 1st’s Mars/Jupiter trine. Something positive is building – all you have to do is act on it. 

Venus enters Aquarius on December 7th, giving money, relationships, self-esteem and values a shot of new possibility. Change is in the air, and it looks good. Venus in this sign encourages individuality around values and relationships. If things haven’t been rosy, this transit can also encourage you to look ahead for something more promising. 

On December 8th, Mercury in Capricorn trines the Virgo North Node (which it rules) and makes a sextile to the Pisces South Node, and a sextile to Neptune (on December 10th). An important piece of information, an observation, message or conversation will be the real deal – it will provide a solid guide/solution that helps you manifest a future potential. Mercury in Capricorn grounds the Pisces longing/wish and translates it into reality (if you’re paying attention). Due to Mercury’s upcoming Rx, this is the first of three activations of the Nodes/Neptune, so you know the message will be significant (and it will be repeated). Check this post for details. 

December 9th brings a sextile between the Sagittarius Sun and Jupiter in Libra, and the Sun conjoins Saturn on December 10th. The Sun is also building to a trine with Uranus in Aries, exact on December 12th. A confirmation, commitment or rule will be illuminated. This is your reality. Get used to it, because it’s the solid foundation that Jupiter/Uranus’ change and growth are based on.

The Sun will also square Chiron in Pisces on December 12th, so there will be some doubts (Chiron) about the future (Uranus). The reality that’s illuminated may be uncomfortable. Nonetheless, positive aspects outweigh the square. There’s still a ton of potential to work with, and if some sore spots are revealed in the process, know that you’ve got the tools to deal with them. 

Mars and the Sun are activating  month-long  configuration between Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus. I’ve written about it here.  

Aries

Mars in your social sector, in mutual reception with Uranus in your sign, keeps things active with friends, groups and the public. A public initiative (with you at the helm) can proceed smoothly. Venus into your social sector brings fresh introductions that are platonic or romantic. In general, your connections with others should be vibrant and positive. 

Aspects to Mercury in your career sector help you identify a specific task, solution or routine that’s well-received by authority, or helps you make progress with your career goals. Pay attention to an undeveloped potential –  you can give it form by openly discussing what’s hidden. 

Sun/Saturn in your sector of opportunities spotlights a rule or official transition/graduation. Too, a distant ideal can be crystallized. Aspects from Uranus Rx in your sign, and Jupiter, say that limits in the areas of travel, education, legal matters or publishing can work in your favour – zero in on what’s essential and follow the rules. This will put your drive for freedom/innovation into a workable context that others will assist you with. Change is most effective when it’s focused. Chiron may undermine that focus with background fears/sensitivities – your best bet is to confront, rather than ignore. 

Taurus

Mars/Uranus sees you taking action on a background issue/push for freedom. A shot of inspiration, or an unusual ambition, can benefit your career, job search or professional image. Venus into your career sector builds on this, with fresh contacts and enhanced relationships with management. If you’re looking for work, or looking to get ahead at work, this is your time. 

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of opportunities encourage you to be specific about a big-picture goal, cause or dream. You can go public with something, gain a wider audience for your words, or add important details to your knowledge base. Travel, education, legal matters, publishing or broadcasting are key areas. 

Sun/Saturn in your sector of shared resources focuses you on debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances, or physical/emotional intimacy. Boundaries will be defined, or a specific goal will be hi-lighted. Aspects to Jupiter/Uranus help you work within the limits by encouraging practical improvements and intuitive understanding – the inner workings of a relationship, or solutions to your financial issues, will fall into place once you confront a reality. Chiron can stir up some hurt feelings with friends/groups, or questions about where you belong. 

Gemini

Mars/Uranus continues to encourage exploration or calculated risks. Long-distance travel, education, legal matters or publishing are areas where you can break new ground. Venus into your opportunities sector urges you to keep moving forward as new/intriguing attractions or interests present themselves.

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of shared resources help you identify a key issue involving debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances, or physical/emotional intimacy. A straightforward conversation about what you share or what you’re uncomfortable with can move you in the right direction. Home finances or the future of your home/family may be topics. 

Sun/Saturn in your relationship sector spotlights a commitment, future goal or relationship turning point.  You and a partner can move forward together if you honour each other’s personal freedom and self-expression. Mutual growth is encouraged. New relationships/attractions can solidify into something with long-term potential. The key will be taking your desire for fun/variety, and making it work in the context of a one-on-one relationship. Chiron may trigger some conflicts about personal versus professional commitments. 

Cancer

Mars/Uranus keeps things rolling along in the areas of debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy. A relationship will benefit if you mix things up and break a few rules. Finances can receive a shot of clarity that urges you to take the next step. “Action” is the key word – even if you feel like things are not under your control, it’s up to you to make a move. Venus into your shared resources sector can bring rewards for your actions – an intimate connection can become sweeter, and finances may receive a boost. 

Aspects to Mercury in your partnership sector urge you to talk it out. Keep the discussion going with practical, focused words. This applies even if you’re discussing a dream, belief or issue of faith. It’s time to bring it down to earth and see how it applies to your relationship. 

Sun/Saturn in your sector of routine draws your attention to a work task, obligation or health issue. The pressure may increase, along with your responsibilities. But aspects to Jupiter/Uranus insist that you’ve got this, as you’re fuelled by optimism, faith in the future, or a desire to do things differently. Big-picture changes can be applied successfully, if you apply them in practical, structured ways. Home and work can both benefit from your enhanced discipline and focus on solutions (rather than problems). Chiron can raise some doubts about your goals, your faith or ability to move forward. Doubts are a sign that there’s an important area to be explored further. 

Leo

Mars/Uranus continues the themes of excitement and improvement in your love life. Broaden your concept of what’s possible, or who you’re attracted to. Someone new and unusual could make a move on you. An existing relationship can flourish if you mix it up or travel. As Venus enters your partnership sector, your charm and powers of attraction increase – your ability to connect with others and say/do the right thing will be bang on. 

Despite all the excitement in your love life, aspects to Mercury in your sector of routine keep you grounded with a focus on work, obligations, or medical issues. Watch for a solidification of work routines, and the knowledge of what you need to do. You can also come up with a plan regarding your own security: self-improvement and facts about health/diet/exercise are supported. A key issue may be releasing old habits or openly discussing sensitive/secret issues.

Sun/Saturn in your sector of self-expressionspotlights something you want to create. Performance, public recognition, artistic work or children/pregnancy are areas where a limit or rule will be confronted. Aspects to Jupiter/Uranus help you bring it to fruition as you incorporate expansive ideas, contacts with the public or big ideals. This is your chance to manifest something that only seemed like an intriguing possibility. A new attraction could solidify into mutual commitment. Chiron can expose some sensitive financial or intimacy issues – maybe the time has come to deal with what you’ve been avoiding. 

Virgo

Mars/Uranus sees you making the best moves regarding work, routine or health. Even if there are excess obligations, you’ve got the energy to handle them. You can easily get it done and impress others with your innovation. Venus’ entrance into your sector of routine brings even more good news, with improved co-worker relationships orunexpected but pleasant outcomes to a work or health issue. 

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of self-expression, including the trine to the North Node in your sign, lines you up perfectly. You can put your best foot forward, impress others, find an audience for your words or simply feel good about how far you’ve come. A new or existing relationship can also progress nicely. The key will be focusing on what you know is essential to your progress and self-improvement, while cutting out the rest. This includes looking at the best possible outcome, rather than “what if” anxieties (you move towards what you’re focused on). Watch for increased discipline on a writing project. 

Sun/Saturn in your domestic sector can emphasize a family responsibility, issue with parents or future domestic goal. Aspects to Jupiter/Uranus can help you make the most of financial and emotional resources, in order to expand the quality of life you’re hoping for. Home finances, home improvements, spending and budgeting all look good, as long as you work within boundaries that you’re well aware of. Chiron suggests relationship anxieties or fear of loss/rejection may peak. Too, a partner may require extra care. This is all part of your domestic responsibilities.

Libra

Mars/Uranus keeps you in the sweet spot, with increased motivation, confidence and courage. New romance, creative work, celebrations and socializing are all supported, with special emphasis on a particular relationship. As Venus enters your sector of self-expression, your attraction power will increase. Others will notice, and you may have more attention than you know what to do with. 

Despite all the socializing, aspects to Mercury in your domestic sector keep your eye on something closer to home. Home/family issues may unfold with structured conversations, documents or prioritizing. The more you concentrate on a particular issues, the more you’ll find that an intuitive understanding unfolds. There’s something in the background that needs to be accessed, and this will involve understanding how your surface routines/obligations are shifting (or ending). Look beyond the obvious. 

Sun/Saturn in your communication sector draws your attention to a verbal or written commitment. A personal or official answer will be highly defined, but aspects to Jupiter (in your sign) and Uranus say there’s plenty of room for growth within those boundaries. Possibilities include the solidification of a partnership, or your commitment to a project/lifestyle. Chiron can stir up some difficulties with health or work, so put some extra time aside to focus on solutions. 

Scorpio

Mars/Uranus can keep the changes at home/with family rolling forward, and things may be a bit hectic. Fortunately, you’ve got motivation, and your eyes are on the future. Things are moving in the right direction, and as Venus enters your domestic sector, watch for increased socialization/entertaining at home. Too, home improvements or relocations look promising. 

Aspects to Mercury in your communication sector position you to say it perfectly. If there’s a message you have to deliver, networking to be done, or an audience to reach, this is the time. Too, you can see progress with issues involving performance, children/pregnancy or writing. 

Sun/Saturn in your sector of personal resources defines exactly what you want, and what you have. A financial situation/salary agreement can be clarified. Personal requirements can be defined as well, as you underline your boundaries. Aspects to Jupiter and Uranus suggest that the current rules around money or personal values can be built on, for the future. This is your foundation. This could also be the first step in manifesting your dream for a new business/project. Chiron suggests some difficulties around creating everything you want, and you may have to give something up. 

Sagittarius

Mars/Uranus keeps your communication and socialization skills on the cutting edge. Something/someone that you’re passionate about has grabbed your attention, and you can speak up (or get their attention) rather easily. As Venus enters your communication sector, all social contacts should become friendlier, and maybe a bit flirtatious. Along with this vibe, watch for some delightfully unexpected responses, or some creative innovations on your part. 

Aspects to Mercury in your sector of personal resources clue you into a possible source of income, job opportunity or way to boost your professional image/business. There could be an important contact, conversation or message that supports your future goals. 

Sun/Saturn in your sign can be a defining moment. You may reach a point of no return, or decide where you’re going to forces your energy from now on. Aspects from Jupiter/Uranus insist that increased responsibility/discipline look good on you. The more you you apply dedication, maturity and commitment to this new area of your life, the more your creative and personal growth will be enhanced. Chiron will remind you that family/domestic issues can still stir up old wounds – remember that you’re in a new chapter, as you tackle these issues with enhanced maturity.

Capricorn

Mars/Uranus continues the flow of positive change and growth in the areas of finance, security and self-esteem. Home improvements/relocation may be featured. There’s a desire to get more for yourself, and spend more, but as Venus enters your sector of personal resources, you could receive a reward or encouraging boost. Watch for a financial bonus, or reasons to feel good about what’s happening in your life. Actions you’ve been taking to improve things will be key. 

Aspects to Mercury in your sign suggest that you know exactly what your next step is, or what you need to say. If you don’t, trust the the feeling that’s urging you to look ahead, go public or aim higher. Long distance travel, education, legal matters or publishing are favoured, as is broadcasting your words to an audience. This could also be about an idea whose time has come.

Sun/Saturn in your hidden sector mark another finish line in a series of endings. This is   part of a larger move away from the past. A completion/finalization may only be ticked off in your head, or in the background, but aspects to Jupiter/Uranus insist that you can build your future on this. Domestic and career changes are supported, and actually won’t happen until you shut the door on something. Chiron can trigger some uncomfortable conversations or hurt feelings, as you close that door.

Saturn is part of the preparation for increased responsibilities and authority that are coming your way when Saturn enters your sign, in December 2017. It may seem like the distant future, but one year can pass quickly. Prepare now. 

Aquarius

Mars in your sign, sextile Uranus in your communication sector, continues the current ofexciting news/ideas, fresh contacts, ambition and overall zest for life. You sense that things are (finally) moving in a favourable direction, and they are – because you’re driving the change. As Venus enters your sign, enjoy her gifts of happiness, attraction, joyful social moments and an overall boost in your confidence. You’ve earned it. 

Aspects to Mercury in your hidden sector keep the intuition and background planning going, as you tune into ways that you can invest wisely (financially or emotionally). Getting closer to someone, or deciding to commit fully to a plan/opportunity, is a slow process, and much is happening in secret. Don’t push it – things will unfold slowly, in perfect time. 

Sun/Saturn in your social sector clarifies a friendship, group association or public cause. A confirmation or public commitment may be in the works, and aspects to Jupiter/Uranus say this is in full support of your larger goals: travel, exploration, relocation or putting more energy towards something you believe in. There may be someone (a friend/mentor) you can count on, or a long-standing personal goal may be finally become official. Chiron stirs up fears about not having enough, or making yourself vulnerable. Don’t let these fears shut you down, but do keep an eye on your finances and personal boundaries.  

Pisces

Mars/Uranus keeps the background fires burning, with a private passion, anger or ambition. As Venus enters your sector of secrets, you may get closer to someone, or feel the need to pull back so you can concentrate on your background issue. Whether it’s just you, or you and someone else, the energy will be secluded. 

Aspects to Mercury in your social sector suggest input from friends, groups or the public can help you develop a partnership, or your approach to partnerships. External information, or your efforts to network/communicate, will encourage discrimination and focus, while helping you develop your natural gifts to their full potential. A business partnership or networking event can be fruitful. 

Sun/Saturn in your career sector spotlights a job, increase in your authority, or issue with management. Aspects to Jupiter/Uranus suggest there could be a promotion, boost to your business or favourable financial outcome to a career path. How you’ve been handling Saturn’s demands for authority will be important. The more effort you’ve put into your career, the more rewards you’ll receive. The Sun’s impending square to Chiron in your sign can make you question the validity of what’s happening. Do you have what it takes? Can you handle the pressure/limits? Of course you can. 

Mercury’s Transit of Capricorn: The Rules

Mercury enters Capricorn on December 2nd. Communication/ideas get real, focused and rigid. 

Saturn-ruled Capricorn is the sign of structure. If you know someone with their natal Mercury in Capricorn, pay attention to how they speak and write. Their sentences are probably beautifully constructed and compelling. Mercury can excel in this sign. Limits are applied. The message is delivered with discipline and conviction. 

Capricorn can also stifle Mercury’s flexibility. Traditional ideas are favoured over innovation. Thought patterns become stuck in fear-based traps. 

You get the picture. This transit favours the manifestation of successful ideas, as long as focused intent is applied and the rules are followed. Formal documents, written commitments, signed contracts – these are all Mercury in Capricorn. Words become concrete via traditional expression. 

Mercury Retrograde

Mercury will station Rx on December 19th, and will exit Capricorn for Sagittarius on January 4th. I’ll write a separate post on this, but for now, consider Mercury’s Rx from Capricorn to Sag as the time to review ideals before they are solidified. Mercury Rx in Capricorn wants to make certain the concepts are rock solid. Can you build a foundation on your faith?

Of particular note during this Rx will be Mercury’s triple-shot trine to the Virgo North Node. Here’s assistance for your trip along the North Node path. Concrete guidance in the form of a message/messenger. Take responsibility for what you say, and bring your ideas to maturity. This will help you move ahead. 

I’ve listed the aspects Mercury will make, and bolded the repeat aspects. Pay attention to these. There’s an idea that needs to be examined more closely, if you have anything in these signs and at these degrees.

November 30th, 2016: A Good Day to Wait it Out

  • Sun in Sagittarius square Neptune, 9 degrees Pisces
  • Venus in Capricorn square Ceres Rx, 21 degrees Aries

Events from yesterday’s New Moon leak into today, as two, key aspects perfect.

Sun/Neptune dissolves purpose and expands possibilities. The craving for something beyond the current reality is strong, but motivation and vitality are lacking. It may be easier to just consider what’s out there, and allow the real deal to emerge on its own.

Venus/Ceres sees defined finances, relationships or values challenged by a rebirth. What you thought was confirmed may be shaken up by a return to disruptive impulses. Too, any efforts to take care of someone, or seek nurturing for yourself, may leave you feeling unsatisfied or rejected. They may not want what you’re offering, and you may get something completely different from what you want. 

 

Horoscopes for November 27th to December 4th, 2016

Overview

The November 29th New Moon in Sagittarius squares the Pisces South Node/Virgo North Node, and Neptune. New potentials are expanded by Neptune, but will also be undefined. The square to the Nodes adds significance – this won’t just be an intriguing/questionable new opportunity, it will be a major opportunity to move in the right direction. But you’ll need to tackle unresolved issues of illusion, deception or lack of focus before you can progress. Ultimately, the path forward involves picking out the genuine, precious details from the distractions. This Moon’s conjunction to Juno suggests new contracts, commitments and relationship power balances will be significant.

The square between Venus in Capricorn and Uranus Rx/Ceres Rx in Aries, also on November 29th, adds a jolt to these new beginnings. Rules around relationships, finances or values will be shaken, for better or worse. Uranus Rx and Ceres Rx suggest the surprising rebirth of a past issue. 

Technically, the Sun/Neptune and Venus/Ceres squares are exact on November 30th.

On December 1st, Chiron stations direct in Pisces, signalling intensification and progress around a painful issue. It’s time to move through it, which means it may hurt more (at first). Fortunately, Mars in Aquarius trines Jupiter in Libra on this day. Action and initiation will get you through the tough spots. This trine suggests right time/right place efforts that work in your favour. You won’t have to struggle. Since Jupiter rules the New Moon, December 1st would be an excellent day to get the ball rolling. 

Finally, December 2nd sees Mercury’s ingress into Capricorn. It’s time to define your ideas and focus your intent. Make it real, make it formal. Watch for my December 2nd post about this transit (including Mercury’s Rx in Capricorn). 

Aries

The New Moon in your sector of opportunities can bring expansive but elusive developments. A new contract, relationship ideal or chance to travel/relocate will need some work before it’s doable in the real world. Too, you may be urged to examine a fantasy/wild expectation in the clear light of day. Venus squaring Uranus Rx/Ceres Rx in your sign can abruptly change the rules in a career matter. An past incident impactingyour freedom and self-expression may come back to life. 

Chiron direct in your sector of secrets can be so subtle that you don’t even feel it. But Mars/Jupiter will reflect the public surge of optimism and progress in all relationships (romantic and platonic) that is connected to background progress around a hidden vulnerability or hurt. Mercury into your career sector gives your voice/thoughts structure, power and looking-ahead ambition. Formal discussions with those in authority may be featured. 

Taurus

The New Moon in your sector of shared resources can make relationship and/or financial developments confusing. On the one hand, it may be time to get closer, invest more, or pool your resources. But boundaries may be unclear, and power imbalances involving money or intimacy will be issues – ultimately, you want to make a decision that increases your confidence while keeping you focused on what you must do to make that happen. Venus squaring Uranus Rx/Ceres Rx suggests a surprising revisit/revision regarding travel, long-distance romance, legal matters, education or publishing. A hidden attraction or ambition may come back to life. 

Chiron direct in your social sector can draw your attention to what you’re lacking in the group, or how you don’t quite fit in. Mars/Jupiter offers a way through this, with a career opportunity – watch for a new job, interview or chance to impress others with your innovation at work. Mercury into your sector of opportunities can help you plan for the future or get more information about legal, travel, education or publishing issues. Formal discussions/inquires are encouraged in these areas.  

Gemini

The New Moon in your partnership sector can bring optimistic relationship developments, or a dreamy new attraction. But the details will need some hammering out. Domestic details, mutual expectations around commitment, or diverging future goals, may be issues. Venus squaring Uranus Rx/Ceres Rx can throw in some surprising developments around intimacy and/or shared finances. Watch for an unexpected expense or sudden acceleration into deeper territory. A new relationship may move forward faster than anticipated. Fear of loss, or fear of losing control, could be sub- themes. 

Chiron direct in your career sector can signal progress around a difficult relationship with management, or feelings of insecurity about professional accomplishments. Mars/Jupiter gives you momentum, confidence and manageable risks. Take a leap of faith and you might just leap right over a frustrating professional doubt. Travel, education, legal matters or publishing are areas where your actions will be supported. Mercury into your sector of shared resources encourages discussions/research that venture into uncomfortable areas – stick to the rules, keep it structured, and you’ll be ok. 

Cancer

The New Moon in your sector of routine suggests unclear developments involving health, a co-worker relationship, obligations to others or your daily tasks. New information or commitments will have to be clarified. Diagnoses can be difficult to come by at first, and prioritizing/organizing will take extra concentration. It may be up to you to define your new role at work. Venus square Uranus Rx/Ceres Rx can add abrupt developments in a one-on-one relationship (romantic or business). A new attraction, or unexpected shift in how you and someone at work interact, can be exciting and confusing. 

Chiron direct in your sector of opportunities suggests progress in an area that’s felt out of reach or too risky. Mars/Jupiter says that if you turn towards what you know, or work on improving your domestic situation and shared finances (debts, taxes, loans, your partners finances) progress in these personal matters will reverberate outwards. Home improvements or financial assistance/innovations are supported. Mercury into your partnership sector encourages focused, productive relationship discussions. 

Leo

The New Moon in your sector of self-expression can introduce a chance to spend, show off, celebrate or experience a dreamy new attraction. However, care must be taken to separate the promise from the facts, or the unwise gamble from innovative progress. Overspending can be a risk. Business or personal contracts should be examined carefully – make sure the outcome will enhance your security and independence. Venus square Uranus Rx/Ceres Rx can add a curveball to the mix, as these new developments disrupt your routine or work environment. Disruptions can be exciting (for example, a surprising office romance or unexpected assistance) but can rattle you a bit, as an issue that you thought was long gone suddenly resurges. 

Chiron direct in your sector of shared resources suggests progress around sensitive/painful issues involving shared finances or intimacy. Mars/Jupiter indicates that verbal confrontations with a significant other can actually be beneficial, as you put your cards on the table and air your differences. The vibe is assertive, but not unfriendly. Competition can also spur you to push past what you’ve been avoiding. Mercury into your sector of routine adds focused solutions and concrete strategies to work or health issues, while helping you prioritize. 

Virgo

The New Moon in your domestic sector asks you to focus on and clarify what matters most. Family, romantic relationships or relocation/home issues can be uncertain, and you may feel the pressure of increased expectations. Look at where your commitment lies, and decide if the amount of focus is undermining or strengthening you. You may simply need to buckle down, ignore the distractions, and prioritize what you know is healthiest. Venus square Uranus Rx/Ceres Rx adds a financial or emotional jolt – you may find that you care more than you realized, or have to spend more than anticipated. Too, the urge to impress/attract may come out of nowhere. 

Chiron direct in your relationship sector can ease you past a partnership sore spot or anxiety. Mars/Jupiter keeps you rolling with what you do best – practical, feet-on-the-ground actions that boost your security and confidence. This could mark a turning point where you decide to quite fretting and just do what needs to be done. You can capitalize on new emotional developments, or potential sources of income. Mercury into your sector of self-expression sees you planning for what you crave – structured communication and ideas can help you nail down what you want, or how to approach someone. 

Libra

The New Moon in your communication sector can bring a turning-point conversation or revelation. A contract, commitment or relationship is ripe to become your next, ultimate goal. Or, it may be time to let it dissolve. The key to understanding which will be movement away from what’s been undermining you. Obviously, you want to move forward. Venus square Uranus Rx/Ceres Rx adds surprising partnership developments – what you thought was defined may be up for a change. Too, a hot new attraction can open up your concept of what’s possible. 

Chiron direct in your sector of routine signals progress or an easing of discomfort regarding work, obligations or medical issues. Mars trine Jupiter in your sign says that it’s up to you to act – take a chance and simply believe that you can do it. You’ve got opportunity on your side – there’s an open door that you just need to step through. New romance, performance, celebrations or children’s issues are favoured. Mercury into your domestic sector gets you focused on the bottom line – family discussions, mortgage/rental agreements or taking stock of your current situation. 

Scorpio

The New Moon in your sector of personal resources can open up a new emotional opportunity, earning potential or desire to spend. The urge to get more will be strong, but the consequences will not be clear (yet). New financial or work contracts are a possibility. Too, this could be an opportunity to go public with something creative or personal. Public results could expand more rapidly than expected. Venus square Uranus Rx/Ceres Rx can trigger a surprising flirtation, or unexpected contact/message that, along with the New Moon, shakes your security by helping you realize the truth about what you really want. Too, issues with siblings can present an unexpected turn. 

Chiron direct in your sector of self-expression can help you develop a more accepting attitude towards your lack of confidence, fear of being seen, or (alternatively) resentment about not being seen. Issues with children/pregnancy can also be sensitive. Initially, the pain associated with these areas may intensify, but Mars/Jupiter offers background, baseline support and forward momentum where it matters most. Someone close to you, or your access to a hidden well of faith, can carry you forward. Domestic changes are especially favoured. Mercury into your communication sector gives you an intellectual and communicative edge. You’ll have the exact words, insight and mental discipline to make sense of, and respond to, what’s happening. 

Sagittarius

The New Moon in your sign hi-lights a relationship, career or lifestyle issue. The next chapter is here, with a chance to grow into the future while saying goodbye to an old family or domestic issue. A relationship commitment could reach a turning point. Too, you could see an opportunity to grow your business, or move along a career path that’s more appealing. The trick will be to avoid falling back on old habits that involve carelessness, half-hearted attempts or lack of focus. Even if the goal is not yet clear, keep pushing forward and don’t allow inflated fears or expectations to undermine you. Venus square Uranus Rx/Ceres Rx adds an unexpected expense, purchase or desire for attention to the mix. You may surprise yourself with how much you want this. 

Chiron direct in your domestic sector continues the background work on past wounds. A family or childhood issue may rise to the surface, even though you thought it was over. Don’t ignore it – you’re meant to confront, embrace and take the sting out.
