Why Is It So Hard to Recognize Abuse?

abuseRecently I was talking to someone I don’t know that well and briefly referred to my previous experience in an abusive relationship. The person automatically responded with something along the lines of, “Well, maybe if you had realized what was … Read More…

November 12th, 2019: Mars Sextile Jupiter

  • Mars in Libra sextile Jupiter in Sagittarius (25°)

  • Chiron RX in Aries trine Pallas in Sagittarius (1 °)

Mars/Jupiter is a “lucky” influence, and I placed that word in quotes because in order to activate the beneficial energy, you have to do something. 

Mars in Libra is about balanced, sociable actions. In a harmonious sextile with Jupiter (expansion, optimism, opportunity) there’s an excellent chance to succeed, as long as you act in a way that’s equitable and polite. Go with the social flow but don’t be afraid to reach for a new opportunity-your efforts should be accepted by others and your timing (assuming that you’re willing to compromise) should be bang on.

Compromise and politeness are key-this is not about doing something crazy or radical. It may even be better if you act in alignment with someone else. This sounds fairly restrictive, but if you’re willing to balance your actions with others, you should find that an opportunity happens naturally. 

The vibe is positive, energetic and sociable-make the most of your relationships.

Chiron/Pallas presents an opportunity to strategize your way through a hurtful situation. If you’re feeling vulnerable or exposed by the battle that you have to fight alone, there are new solutions for you to access. Open your eyes to what you haven’t considered previously-you may need to learn something new or consider input from unusual sources. There’s a bigger pattern, or a larger belief system, that you can apply to what hurts. This can also be about teaching others how to deal with their wounds.

Astrology of Now: This Transit of Mercury

This afternoon, at around 4pm GMT, the little planet of speed, insight, commerce and travel, dances across the face of the Sun. With the right equipment, you’ll be able to see it. And I think it’s astrologically significant too. Mercury’s transit to the Sun happens 14 times this century — and only in Taurus or Scorpio. This is the axis of the material vs the hidden, the object and its shadow, procreation and death, sex and power, ownership and enslavement. Last time, Mercury retrograded in Scorpio was 2012 and 2013 — but last time he performed this particular dance in […]
