May 30th, 2017: Making Progress

  • Mars in Gemini sextile Uranus in Aries: 26 degrees
  • Sun in Gemini sextile Vesta in Leo: 9 degrees
  • Mercury in Taurus trine Juno Rx in Capricorn: 17 degrees

Mars/Uranus triggers a hit of ingenuity, plus the courage to do something with it. Actions are driven by restlessness, and would normally be quite scattered, were it not for the Mars/Saturn opposition.  The ease of the sextile means impatient/risky efforts have a positive outlet. You can attempt something different without tripping. This is one aspect in the top of the Kite, described here. 

Vesta adds focus to the Sun in Gemini’s multitasking. One choice is easier to make – watch for a pull in a certain direction. The Sun rules Leo, adding extra shine and purpose to Vesta’s devotion. Creative work, and pride in what you’re bringing to life, is fuelled by new information, discussions or contacts. 

Mercury/Juno suggests calm relationship discussions, or signing a contract between partners. Words support a mutual agreement, and all the basics are covered. There are no fancy promises or convoluted details, just straightforward ideas you can shake on. 

This is an excellent day for progress, cooperation and motivation.

May 23rd, 2017: Playing to Win

  • Venus in Aries square Juno Rx in Capricorn: 17 degrees
  • Pluto Rx in Capricorn square Pallas in Aries: 19 degrees

This is the third and final square between Venus in Aries and Juno in Capricorn. Previously, we had Venus squaring Juno at 0 degrees (February 3rd) and Venus Rx squaring Juno at 10 degrees (March 14th). 

The crisis of relationship impulses challenging established rules has been with us for a few months, and now it’s reaching completion. There’s been plenty of time to explore the tension between new versus traditional. By this point, commitments will be adjusted or broken. The square has been an ongoing reminder that some partnership structures need an infusion of new blood. Or, some relationships just aren’t meant to last. 

Pluto/Pallas suggests fixation on a combative strategy that identifies the enemy’s weak spot. Even if you’re not consciously aware of what’s happening, someone is taking this situation very seriously. If you’re the one who’s pushing for victory, consider what you’re prepared to do. Are you sure you have to gut the competition?  If you’re on the receiving end, be careful –  playing to win has extreme undertones.

May 22nd, 2017: Fixating on the Flame

  • Mercury in Taurus square Vesta in Leo: 6 degrees

The basics of what you want clash with creative/romantic devotion. Maybe you’re so focused on the special thing that you get bogged down in financial details, or the possessive tyranny of ownership. Fixating on something/someone special can shut down creative possibilities, if all you think about is “He/she’s mine” or “Will others appreciate how much I paid for this?” 

Alternatively, the cost of recognition/ego may be too much, if it threatens your values or security. Consider the price of admission into the spotlight.

May 2nd, 2017: Vesta Returns to Leo

  • 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.
