Mercury in Libra squares Mars, at 11 degrees Capricorn. Irritation and anger will colour today’s communication. The drive to make your point can upset the social balance. Too, someone may challenge your ideas. But due to Libra’s polite mask, disagreements may be expressed through a gritted-teeth smile. 

Ceres Rx reenters Aries. Since July 17th, 2016 she has nurtured the growth of values/resources/self-sufficiency in Taurus. Now, she revisits a beginning that may have occurred when she first entered Aries (April 14th, 2016). This Rx ingress will take you back to an initiation/resurrection. Is it still valid? Has its promise been fully developed? There’s a reason it’s up for review. With Mars (ruler of Aries) challenging Mercury, we can expect part of today’s tense discussions to be triggered by this review. 

 

October 11th, 2016: A Day of Promise

Today’s influences hit all the right notes –  enthusiasm, harmony and acceptance, with a touch of magic. If you have something to launch, submit or attempt, today’s overall ease and opportunity can help. 

Mercury in Libra conjoins Jupiter, at 6 degrees. Jupiter expands Mercury’s wit and verbal grace, and Mercury puts Jupiter’s beliefs into words. Discussions will be open and hopeful. Excellent for introductions or any social function where it’s essential to be polite and positive. This aspect gives all one-on-one communication an optimistic spin, so if you’re trying to make amends or find something to talk about, Mercury/Jupiter can inject fresh perspective and ideas. 

Continuing the open-minded trend, the Libra Sun trines Pallas Rx, at 18 degrees Aquarius. Odd patterns are given a social outlet. Something that’s too revolutionary for polite company has a better chance of being accepted. And, the Moon conjoins Pallas Rx, making this part of a Waxing trine between the Sun and Moon. This part of the lunar cycle makes integration easier. Events ease forward and understanding grows. Libra and Aquarius blend group dynamics with one-on-one connections. 

Venus at 21 degrees Scorpio conjoins Juno and trines Chiron Rx in Pisces. Love and profound commitment merge, while Chiron adds a shot of empathy. Unconditional expressions of fidelity come from the acceptance of each other’s wounds. Pain is shared and makes the relationship stronger.  

Mars in Capricorn makes a sextile to Neptune Rx in Pisces, at 9 degrees. This is an aspect of gentle manifestation, as Mars’ determined actions ground Neptune’s dreams. A vision can be solidified, as you work to integrate magic into the real world. 

 

September 30th, 2016: Mars in Capricorn Trine Ceres Rx, Mercury in Virgo Inconjunct Pallas Rx

Mars in Capricorn trines Ceres Rx in Taurus, at 2 degrees. Disciplined actions produce nourishing results in the areas of growth, abundance, stability or mothering. Focused energy and hard work can literally or metaphorically feed someone. Excellent for addressing the integration of diet and exercise.

Mercury in Virgo makes an inconjunct to Pallas Rx in Aquarius, at 19 degrees. A detail or improvement may be challenged by odd ideas that you can’t quantify. Attempts to make the rebellious pattern fit conventional logic will fail, but conventional logic is in need of a shake up. Consider what’s bizarre/revolutionary (especially if it’s something you’re reviewing) and find a way to translate it into practical knowledge, without sacrificing its uniqueness. 

September 2nd, 2016: Pluto Opposes Vesta, Eclipse Follow-Up

Pluto Rx in Capricorn opposes Vesta, at 15 degrees Cancer. The focus on home, family, parenting or protection is challenged. The threat of loss/insecurity is amplified by something beyond your control, resulting in obsession. Devotion becomes fixation, and nurturing is used to manipulate. Consider if the threat is actually a projected issue, and remember that refusal to release is Pluto’s cue to release something for you.  

Two aspects from yesterday’s eclipse become exact:

  • Mercury Rx conjoins Jupiter, at 28 degrees Virgo. Going back/revising/correcting is the best thing you can do. Sorting through the excess (Jupiter) will allow you to zero in on the perfect ____.
  • The Sun opposes Neptune Rx in Pisces, at 10 degrees. Release and make room. Neptune dissolves the trap of guilt. Or, the illusion is illuminated. This is a culmination – if you can’t fix it or make it better, just leave it. Remember that the Solar Eclipse has defined a new reality. Are you on board?

It’s significant that rulers of both the transiting Nodes are activated. Neptune as ruler of the Pisces South Node, and Mercury as ruler of the Virgo North Node, are intensified due to their Rx status. This means the time is ripe to upgrade towards the future. Now more than ever, “making it better” (the Virgo mantra) depends on connecting the dots, getting specific, and turning away from what’s been draining you. Develop the dream into reality, or say goodbye.
