Sunday Poetry from Mary Oliver for Jupiter square Chiron

Photography by Marianne McCann Wild Geese You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will […]

  • Sagittarius Sun square Neptune in Pisces (15 deg)

  • Venus in Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces (15 deg)

  • Jupiter in Capricorn square Chiron RX in Aries (1 deg)

  • Ceres in Capricorn conjunct the South Node (8 deg)

The Sun/Neptune square promises limitless faith and good things, but much of what is promised will be false. A square to Neptune is a crisis of truth and belief: the shimmer of possibility is an illusion. There could be questions about what you thought was true.

Venus in Capricorn’s harmonious aspect to Neptune can be a point of grounding and reality for the above. It’s not all false- there’s a seed of magic that can be developed via focus and maturity regarding what you love.

Jupiter in Capricorn’s structured opportunities can trigger moments of doubt or insecurity as it squares Chiron. The need to prove what you’re learning, teaching or growing can stir up some pain, so before you push further down this new path consider why it hurts. You don’t need to stop, but you can use this moment to learn more about an area of vulnerability. 

Ceres over the South Node draws your attention to an issue of mothering or nurturing from the past. Rules about care, loss or rebirth will be the focus- there could be a permanent ending that’s part of a larger cycle. Or, you may be reaping the results of previous attempts to nurture.

December 4th, 2019: First Quarter Square And Relationship Crisis

  • First Quarter Square between the Pisces Moon and Sagittarius Sun (11°)

  • Venus in Capricorn square Juno in Libra (10°)

  • Mercury in Scorpio trine Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (24°)

The First Quarter Square triggers a crisis between spirituality (Pisces) versus wisdom (Sag) or dreams versus truth. An established belief, piece of knowledge or religion will be challenged by what cannot be defined. Something will be undermining your faith, and it could be a lie, fantasy or energy that transcends everything you thought you knew. The questions that are raised will push you to take action- it’s time to step forward and defend your truth or make a change that aligns you with a new truth. 

Continuing the theme of crisis, Venus/Juno raises tension between authoritative expressions or love or values versus a harmonious partnership agreement. Authority, traditions or control will trigger an imbalance between two people. Consider how this tension factors into the above crisis of truth and belief.

But there is an easy aspect today-Mercury harmonizes with Black Moon Lilith, tapping into uncomfortable and taboo information about women’s sexuality that is somehow deemed “unacceptable.” Here is the undeniable and intense voice of truth- saying what needs to be said or exploring secret issues. Consider how the smooth flow of intense, authentic female energy (via words or ideas) can help you deal with the above crises.

This trine between Mercury and BML is the last of three. So you’re concluding an issue that began on October 17th.
