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.

Ceres stations Rx, at 5 degrees Taurus. As I wrote in this post:

“Ceres’ Rx will be a review of what’s being nurtured. Delays may be related to fears of loss…Fears can delay growth, but delays can ensure that you’re nurturing something with real potential.”

If you’re worried that you can’t sustain this new area of growth, don’t push it. Maybe you need to intensify your efforts elsewhere. You’re not breaking new ground at this point. If you feel resistance to your efforts, back off. If the situation responds to concentrated care of a previous or existing area, go with that. Intensified survival fears (poverty, emotional starvation, lack of self-worth) are a sign that something needs to be resolved before your crops can flourish.

Mercury in Virgo makes a tense inconjunct to Pallas Rx in Aquarius, at 27 degrees. Words may be inadequate to express that intriguing vision you’re trying to develop. Step back from logic and look at the facts from a slightly different angle. Stop trying to make it fit, and allow the new pieces to fall randomly. At the same time, know that brilliant patterns are ineffective if no one can understand them. You’re being asked to translate by bringing the revolutionary concept down to earth.

You won’t get it perfect today. You’ll be challenged to help/care/nurture the best you can, when it feels like your best attempts are being blocked. 

Mercury in Virgo opposes Chiron Rx in Pisces and makes a sharp inconjunct to Uranus Rx in Aries, at 24 degrees. Digging for the truth behind the flaw will trigger unexpected results. There may be harsh criticisms, or the impulsive urge to correct someone. If you see something that’s just begging for improvement, take note. Acknowledge the issue, but know that you won’t be able to say the perfect thing that makes it all better. And, someone else may not be interested in your helpful suggestions. 

Saturn in Sagittarius makes an inconjunct to Vesta, at 9 degrees Cancer. Vesta’s devotion to an emotional or security issue is blocked by Saturn’s external obligations/rules. The pressure to care for someone can feel impossible. Where there’s resistance, know that you need to step back and accommodate outside rules and your focus. It will be uncomfortable, but necessary.
