November 29, 2019: Digging Under The Capricorn Moon

  • Capricorn Moon sextile Neptune in Pisces (15°)

  • Capricorn Moon sextile Mercury in Scorpio (17°)

  • Capricorn Moon conjunct Saturn (17°)

  • Capricorn Moon conjunct Pluto (21°)

  • Moon Void of Course in Capricorn (10:56 PM EST)

The Moon starts off with some gentle aspects to Neptune and Mercury: intense, emotional and idealistic words are grounded with focused energy. It’s time to get a real about what might otherwise sweep you away.

And the reality intensifies with the Moon’s conjunction to Saturn. Parental issues, authority and boundaries come into sharp focus. There is a limit that cannot be avoided. 

The Moon’s last aspect before she goes VOC is a conjunction with Pluto that indicates the “death” and complete transformation of the above. Here you’re confronted with the real issues that lie beneath the tradition. Pluto is ruler of Scorpio, so you may find that those initially gentle but serious words (Mercury in Scorpio) had a much deeper impact than anticipated. Truths will be unearthed, and this is not a bad thing. Excellent for mining the full benefits from an apparently rigid situation. In some cases, true power can be accessed.

The Moon enters Aquarius and VOC ends on November 30th at 3:13 PM EST.

November 28th, 2019: All The Venus Issues

Anders Zorn

  • Capricorn Moon square Juno in Libra (8°)

  • Capricorn Moon conjunct the South Node (8°)

  • Juno in Libra square the Capricorn South Node/Cancer North Node (8°)

  • Mercury in Scorpio trine Neptune in Pisces (15°)

  • Mercury in Scorpio opposite Vesta RX in Taurus (15°)

  • Venus in Capricorn trine Uranus RX in Taurus (3°)

The Moon and Juno

Juno in Libra is about balanced relationship agreements. But when she makes a square aspect to the Nodes, something about this agreement is unbalanced and troublesome. South Node is the past or what is culminating, and North Node is what you are moving towards. So you may be stuck at a point where you and another disagree, or relationship rules/commitments (SN issues) feel unfair.

The Capricorn Moon uniting with the SN and squaring Juno could trigger a turning point in this situation. Note that the Moon rules the North Node, so the key is integrating past rules/traditions with a new awareness of needs and emotional expression. Until this integration happens the partnership agreement will remain stuck and crisis-ridden. Parental dynamics will be a major theme.

Mercury

Mercury triggers the last of three aspects to Vesta and Neptune. Due to Mercury’s previous RX, the opposition and trine first occurred from October 15-23rd. Back then, you were introduced to taboo, secret or intense words/ideas that challenged a focus (Vesta) on material security and habits. But the trine to Neptune encouraged that flow of information as you explored deeper levels.

These aspects reoccurred from November 10-13th, when Mercury was RX-more questions were asked or investigations burrowed beneath the surface.

Today, the issue that began in October is wrapping up. The challenge to a material focus or fixed routine is still there, but now there is a conclusion based on what you have learned. Deeper truths, or an understanding of psychological issues can help you move forward or have a compassionate conversation about money, fear of change or sacred boundaries.

The November 27th post about Neptune sextile Vesta is also connected to this: consider how an integration of the physical and spiritual can deepen your understanding of what is valuable to you.

Venus

Venus’ harmonious aspect to Uranus can help you deal with changes to relationships, values, security or self-esteem. You can incorporate those changes gradually, within an existing structure (Capricorn). You’re not breaking any rules about what you want or love, but you are making some changes. The definition of what’s considered valuable or attractive will shift.

Venus is the common energy in all of the above (Venus rules Libra and Taurus). So the overarching theme is addressing unbalanced relationships and a shift in values. Taurus is about subjective, “me first” Venus and Libra is about objective “what about you” Venus.
