October 21st, 2019: Crisis and Action

Last Quarter Square between the Cancer Moon and Libra Sun (27°)
Mars in Libra square the Capricorn South Node/Cancer North Node (11°)
Venus in Scorpio trine Neptune RX in Pisces (16°)
The Last Quarter Square can trigger difficult questions around balancing your personal needs in a relationship. Maybe you’ve been giving too much or trying so hard to be agreeable that you’ve ignored your core truths. This square will activate a crisis that forces you to consider what you really need and how that compares to what you’ve been giving or receiving.
Adding to the tension, Mars squaring the Nodes can make it very difficult to act or express anger. It may feel like everything you do is out of step with the current. This is actually a reminder to pause and consider the choice that’s been active since September 22nd (Mercury, Venus and the Sun in Libra have squared the Nodes since that date)-the value of old rules/traditions/judgments versus a more authentic path forward that is aligned with what you need.
The Cancer Moon rules the North Node so this is very much about stepping away from familiar but limiting habits and moving towards what’s unfamiliar but authentic. Maybe a responsibility needs to be wrapped up before you step forward. Any action you take should move you towards the North Node.
There is a harmonious connection between Venus and Neptune-this energy promises unconditional love, easy intimacy or a smooth immersion into what you want. While today’s actions will be tricky, attracting, allowing and opening yourself up to something you trust should be effortless (as long as you’re willing to go all the way). Note that Venus rules Libra, so this takes us back to the Third Quarter Square: diving into what’s authentic can be part of the answer to this crisis.
