Astrology of Now: Turmoil

by  • 

There’s an awful lot of churn right now. You can see it on the streets of Santiago, Hong Kong, La Paz and Barcelona; in the British Parliament and American Congress. And in Kurdistan where “confusion now hath made his masterpiece.” People are in a froth. There’s shouting. And the way forward is not clear. You may find this is also true in your own life. Even if you yourself have the utmost clarity; people around you may be in a flap, a flurry, a fritz — or very stuck. I am finding that a lot of people are confused and/or depressed. […]

October 24th, 2019: Black Moon Lilith And Venus

by  • 

Jean-François Portaels

  • Venus in Scorpio trine Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (19°)

  • Moon in Virgo opposite Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (19°)

It’s always nice when Venus and BML harmonize because that indicates a flow between the more typical expressions of  female energy (Venus is about relating) and the atypical, outsider expressions of “dangerous” female sexuality.

Venus in Scorpio is about relating on the deepest possible level. The commitment to intimacy and authenticity is total. Or, perhaps you’re delving into your own hidden resources/taboos. Either way, it’s about being nakedly honest. 

But that doesn’t mean everything is on display, because Venus in Scorpio is very private. This supports expressions of sexual energy that are outside the bounds of convention. BML in Pisces is the witch, because she transcends what’s real and defined. Today’s aspect says that she draws her power from your deepest awareness of what you want, love and value. This may be a very private development for yourself, or between you and another.

What’s interesting is that the Moon (Lilith’s opposite) is actually opposing BML from Virgo. This highlights the contrast between the “virginal” mothering/nurturing figure who serves versus the one who serves only herself. It reminds us that BML is not here to make us feel comfortable. The Moon’s opposition may emphasize a choice that you have to make, or tension between two types of women.

Venus is the harmonious, connecting facto; get honest and look at the shadow issues behind mothering, fixing and virgin/whore projections. Who is considered pure and impure, and are these descriptions even valid?

No one said Venus in Scorpio delivered the good stuff easily.

How the next recession will happen: An astrological view

by  • 

Click to enlarge Economists struggle to understand the ebb and flow of markets and attempt to find reasons why a market will expand and contract.  Astrologers have better tools.  They’re not perfect enough to depend on for day to day trading – there are too many variables.  One’s own planetary cycles, the peculiarities […]

Scorpio Season

by  •

The Sun enters Scorpio on October 23rd at 3:29 PM EDT. Scorpio season is the time of depth, intensity, secrets, shadows and hidden resources. It’s when we are encouraged to look inwards for true power or do some soul-searching. 

What Scorpio obscures in the shadows is often ugly and frightening. There are very few people with the courage and authenticity to dive into these issues and confront their own fears and taboos. 

There can be rewards during this season, but they are not the typical rewards. If you’re prepared to dig into what’s hidden, you can uncover unexpected sources of power, intimacy, commitment or healing. But that means you must commit to going all the way and not shrink back when you come across something disagreeable. Again, what you’re most often confronting are your own issues: shadow work. 

This season starts off with a supportive Waning Sextile from the Virgo Moon (to the Scorpio Sun) at 0° on October 23rd. Here is some gentle support as you descend into the underworld. The Waning Sextile encourages forward movement (by leaving the past behind). Virgo presents practical solutions and reassuring information-you’ll know what you have to do and what your next step is. You won’t be facing the Scorpio mysteries without a map. 

Go forward, into the shadows.

The Sun exits Scorpio for Sagittarius on November 22nd.

Here are the aspects the Sun will make:

  • Oct 27th: New Moon 4 deg Scorpio (11:38 PM)

  • Nov 12th: Full Moon 19 deg Taurus (8:34 AM)
