Vesta’s Transit of Scorpio: The Dark Fire
November 1st, 2017: Venus Conjunct Vesta in Libra
October 21st, 2017: Vesta in Libra Square Pluto
- Pluto in Capricorn square Vesta in Libra: 16 deg
Sometimes devotion becomes obsession. For example, when you’re driven to achieve specific results in a relationship, whether or not the other person is on board. As I noted in this post, Vesta’s extreme focus in Libra can hi-light an imbalance. Pressure from Pluto (in the form of a power struggle or overpowering urge to make a partnership perfect) can push things over the edge.
Are fixated on the ideal relationship? Is someone attempting to overpower you by desecrating your sacred partnership rules? If you’re trying to pressure someone into doing things your way, or they’re insisting that the exchange must happen in a way you find objectionable, it’s time to step back. As soon as anyone reaches the point of “this must happen and you’re going to agree with me” you know you’re in distorted Pluto territory.
The crisis of this square will trigger evolution as Vesta’s sacred limits are challenged.
October 11th, 2017: Lilith Versus The Virgin
- Venus in Virgo inconjunct Uranus Rx in Aries: 26 degrees
- Venus in Virgo square Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius: 26 degrees
- Uranus Rx in Aries trine Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius: 26 degrees
- Mars in Virgo square Saturn in Sagittarius: 22 degrees
BML is agitating (in all her outcast glory) with an enabling trine to Uranus. This aspect encourages taboo and disruptive women’s issues – freedom for whatever makes the patriarchy and polite society uncomfortable.
And this energy will be at odds with polite society, due to the square between Venus and Lilith. Specifically, Virgo’s ultra-correct expression of female energy. Here is the clichéd good girl/bad girl dichotomy – Virgo’s purity versus Sagittarius’ wildness. And Uranus will make things difficult for poor Venus, as he jolts her with panicky reminders that this scenario is messy.
The above could manifest as an internal struggle: you’re stuck between the obligation to be “good” versus rabidly honest. Or, someone may play the Venus role, with you as Lilith (or vice versa). Both sides have merit. Venus asks why BML insists on ignoring certain facts in her lust to be recognized. Parts of the real story (the dry but important parts) may be glossed over. Lilith asks why Venus is so insanely critical, neurotic and repressive. Why is it unclean to break the rules?
Mars will be zero help. He’s locked in a battle with Saturn – restricted actions, repressed anger and oppressive responsibilities.
Overall, today’s vibe is clamped down and judgemental. Something/someone is struggling to come out, but there will be a host of rules, picky details and critiques to navigate. As oppressive as those rules and details will be, they cannot be ignored. There’s work (Mars/Saturn) to do, even if you want to rebel.
October 6th, 2017: Disconnect
- Mercury in Libra inconjunct Pallas Rx in Taurus: 11 degrees
- Mercury in Libra inconjunct Neptune Rx in Pisces: 12 degrees
Mercury forms the point of a Yod, a challenging configuration that focuses two, tense aspects (inconjuncts) onto one planet.
Mercury/Pallas Rx suggests a disconnect between relationship communication and strategies, while Mercury/Neptune Rx can trigger sensitivity and misunderstandings in discussions.
Meanwhile, Pallas and Neptune support each other with a sextile (not exact) – practical, measurable plans to establish security can lead to the manifestation of a dream. You can make the financial or security ideal real. But, the tricky part will be translating this into words that someone will understand and agree with. It’s difficult but doable – aim for clarity (check that they’re hearing you and you’re not misreading them) and compromise.
Pallas and Neptune’s Rx status indicates that this is not a new issue. You’re revising the plans, although it may be the first time you’ve talked about them openly.
October 4th, 2017: Absolute Libra
October 3rd, 2017: A Mixed Day For Relationships
- Venus in Virgo trine Pluto in Capricorn: 16 degrees
- Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius square Chiron Rx in Pisces: 25 degrees
- Mercury in Libra square Juno in Capricorn: 6 degrees
Pluto strengthens Venus’ standards. Relationships, finances and self-esteem will benefit from attention to detail and a desire for the best. Pluto can intensify Virgo’s perfectionism, even with the harmonious trine. This shouldn’t be a problem unless you’re not prepared to make the healthiest choice for yourself.
BML/Chiron suggests that the taboo sexual/woman’s issue will uncover a raw patch. This square can hi-light the wound of the woman on the fringes, or the pain of sexual exploitation. Lilith in Sag pushes the boundaries of what’s acceptable, while drawing everyone’s attention to those expanding boundaries. The Chiron square doesn’t mean this is wrong, but it won’t be easy to step out of line or do what a woman “shouldn’t” do.
Mercury/Juno can trigger conflict about relationship rules or the mutual understanding of commitment. A partnership agreement could hit a snag, with more discussion needed.
This is a mixed day for relationships. Use the Pluto trine to enable an improvement by embracing honesty, practicality and complete acceptance of your current reality.
