  • Vesta enters Leo

Vesta first entered Leo on October 19th, 2016. In this post, I wrote about the focus on pride and self-expression. Divine creativity and sacred romance. This transit is about your fire – the one that nothing can extinguish. 

Since that time, she has stationed Rx and backed into Cancer, which may have caused you to review or intensify creative/romantic themes. What’s your purpose? Where does your talent lie? How can you devote more energy to what makes you feel special?

The above questions should be answered as she returns to Leo. You may be taking another shot at something that first came into being on October 19th – now, the spark becomes a flame. The more you devote yourself to ____, the hotter the flame will burn. 

Vesta’s keywords are “sacred” and “devotion.” Focus is important, but it must be focus with absolute passion and purity. You’re either in all the way, or you’re wasting your time. 

 

Pallas Enters Aries: Winning Strategies

Pallas enters Aries on March 30th. Named after Pallas Athena (the warrior goddess) she is described in Asteroid Goddesses (Demetra George and Douglas Bloch) as woman’s power in a mans’ world. Androgynous, she emphasized her masculine side so she could compete with the “boys.”  

In Aries, the feminist fight may be more pronounced – the battle to assert ideas that don’t fit with tradition, or the patriarchy. Winning strategies will be essential. This is not about nice-to-haves, or dreamy pictures. Pallas plays for keeps in Aries. Direct tactics will serve you better than hints or manipulation.  

This transit can be about the birth of a new pattern- the urge to start something, based on your intuition. Logic will not be the driver, but passion or competition will. Strategies to address problems will be triggered by challenge. Are they saying no one has ever attempted this, and the odds are against you? This is what Pallas in Aries loves to hear. Aries is the pioneer, so we have the potential for something brand new. The desire for success will certainly be there, but the execution will be up to you. 

Pallas enters Taurus on June 26th, 2017. She’ll return to Aries in November, when she’s Rx, and won’t reenter Taurus until 2018. So there’s an extended battle coming up. 

  • Jun 26th, 2017: Taurus ingress
  • Sept 11th, 2017: stations Rx in Taurus (14 deg)
  • Nov 15th, 2017: reenters Aries
  • Dec 17th, 2017: stations direct in Aries (25 deg)
  • Jan 19th, 2018: reenters Taurus

 

March 23rd, 2017: Hard Thoughts

  • Mercury in Aries square Pluto in Capricorn: 19 degrees
  • Saturn in Sagittarius square Pallas in Pisces: 27 degrees

A day of hard words and enforced focus.

Mercury/Pluto can bring verbal confrontations, with more going on beneath the surface. Power and domination will be the subtext, but the words may say something different. Look beneath the aggressive, verbal push for the real truth. In some cases, this aspect could signify a crisis resulting from building pressure. If someone is finally speaking up, the words could come out more harshly than intended. Mercury square Pluto goes for the jugular, but the intent is unconscious. 

Saturn/Pallas will put limits on intuition and creative strategy. Proof will be demanded. Rules will define the effectiveness of free-flowing solutions. However, sometimes hard focus is exactly what’s needed. This could be crunch time for an unproven idea – make it work, or let it go.
