Making America Radical Again! – Thom Hartmann (via Uranus)

From his series the Thom Hartmann Book Club, here is Thom reading from Harvey J. Kaye’s Take Hold of Our History: Make America Radical Again. Now I don’t yet own a copy of the book but I see from its Table of Contents that my favorite chapter (16) will probably be one dear to my heart, "Let Them Call Us Rebels – We Are All the Heirs of Thomas Paine." Here here!Now naturally, all astrologers

November 16th, 2019: Yod To Venus In Sagittarius

Yod.jpg

  • Cancer Moon inconjunct Venus in Sagittarius (18°)

  • Vesta RX in Taurus inconjunct Venus in Sagittarius (18°)

  • Cancer Moon sextile Vesta RX in Taurus (18°)

The above aspects make a configuration called a Yod. The harmonious sextile between the Moon and Vesta creates a stable base that’s rooted in the focus (Vesta) on habits (Taurus) and a familiar, comfortable environment (Cancer).

But the Moon and Vesta both made awkward inconjuncts to Venus in Sag-a new, slightly risky and tempting opportunity may distract you from your focus and make you feel uncomfortable. So there is a struggle to maintain that comfortable status quo even though something exotic beckons. The results can manifest as discord between what you want versus what you need.

The key with a Yod is to use the focal planet as a point of integration, because the focal plan is your task. The issues it represents will be prominent but difficult. Venus is the focal planet here, so what’s new and expansive must be integrated into what’s familiar. These will involve Venus themes- money, relationships, what you want, what you’re are attracted to, your values. There will be discomfort, security fears and anxiety because the Yod is a challenging configuration. The “target” (whatever Venus represents) will not respond to neediness or fear. Use the comforts that you know are real and sacred as a solid foundation, then reach upwards and outwards while keeping your feet planted.
