Jupiter/Neptune is the first of three trines (May 25th, 2018 and July 10th, 2018 are the other dates when this aspect will be exact). Jupiter and Neptune are both expansive influences – Jupiter stretches the limits and Neptune dissolves them. Combine the two, and you get a very slippery slide into something deep (Scorpio) and dreamy (Pisces). And, the trine is such an easy influence that nothing will stand in your way. It will be natural and effortless.
This can be an addiction-enabler or a dissolver of fears. Jupiter plus Neptune means transcendent ideals and euphoric truths. Jupiter will encourage you to go all the way, and Neptune will whisper that it’s pure. Or, that you don’t have to worry about anything. Just let it happen.
A trine is normally a positive aspect, but in this case, I think much depends on what’s happening in your life and where this trine will hit your chart. It can plunge you into something, but will that help or undermine you? Pay close attention to what you’re plunging into, because you’ll end up submerged. And it will feel good. If this is a healthy path for you, it should continue to feel good. But if this is an addiction or illusion, eventually you’ll hit a point where the bubble bursts and the euphoria sours.
Ceres/North Node is the moment when that special creation or area of confidence/joy can open a door to the future. Maybe you’ve nurtured a project/purpose to the point where you can see the next stage of its growth. Here’s the opportunity to take it further – take it into the spotlight, where you’ve always known it should be.

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.

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.
