Sunday inspiration: Transforming through sadness and presence

Saturn and Pluto are bearing down on the Saturn system in my own chart, and I am really focused right now on the idea of presence and surrender because with Saturn and Pluto there really is no other choice.  I so love this writing from Rainer Maria Rilke, which speaks of the ways in which […]

  • Venus in Sagittarius conjunct Jupiter (28°)

  • Mars in Scorpio opposite Uranus RX in Taurus (3°)

Venus/Jupiter is abundance, gifts and the expansion of what you want. Hopes are high: this could be a lucky break, idealistic relationship or time of burgeoning self-esteem as you attract something big.

Mars/Uranus is a result involving a sudden break or abrupt action. The tension of the opposition suggests that it will be quite dramatic. Uranus’ disruptions can trigger intensive reactions that have been simmering in the shadows. What bursts forth from a Fixed sign like Scorpio is potent because it has been building slowly. 

The themes of risk and freedom are emphasized. Jupiter is about future growth and Uranus Is the rule -breaker. You may attract an amazing opportunity and you’ll have to place your faith in the future. At the same time, consider what you’re breaking away from but be careful-events can spiral out of control with hard aspects to Uranus.

How much is the risk worth? Or, does the disruptive ending have a silver lining?

November 23rd, 2019: A Day of Healing

Abbott Handerson Thayer

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

  • Mars in Scorpio sextile Ceres in Capricorn (2°)

Today is an excellent day to address what hurts and take serious steps to look after yourself or someone else.

Sun/Chiron can help you approach a painful situation with more optimism. Wounds or weaknesses can be confronted and integrated easily-watch for an increase in confidence that enables you to apply wisdom or even a sense of adventure to a touchy situation. This aspect also speaks to legal or religious guidance that helps you come to terms with a battle.

Mars/Ceres is active nurturing. This is about reaching for the deepest commitment or untapped reservoirs of strength and taking action to define the care and feeding of a situation or person. While this energy means business, the sextile is a gentle aspect; you won’t have to push. There should be an easy, almost effortless way to integrate intensive actions with structured care. 

Nurturing can also apply to yourself. This is an opportunity to go a bit further (perhaps into uncomfortable or hidden territory) and use that energy to fuel your disciplined self-care. But the keyword is “action”: you have to do something with this energy if you want to reap the benefits.
