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.
