Astrology of Now: Flying Flamingoes, Black Rod, and the Bendings

Even by the standards of that operatic place, the scenes in parliament were extraordinarily theatrical last night. Starring roles this time were taken by– Mr John Bercow as The Speaker Ms Sarah Clarke as Black Rod House of Commons as The Chorus Opposition Benches as The Choir It’s always nice to learn a new word. According to my on-line dictionary prorogation is “the action of discontinuing a session of a parliament or other legislative assembly without dissolving it.” This happens for a few days between parliamentary session, the average is about eight days — and then they all gather again.

September 10th, 2019: Sun in Virgo Opposes Neptune

Arthur Hacker

Arthur Hacker

  • Virgo Sun opposite Neptune Rx in Pisces (17 deg)

This is a difficult aspect as Neptune dissolves the Sun’s purpose and undermines pride. Virgo’s details and solutions are blurred, so the Sun may illuminate anxiety and doubt. If your ego relies on making it perfect or being useful, you’ll encounter failure under this influence.

The opposition can signal an ending that manifests as a fade-away, or a result that reveals more questions than answers. You probably won’t see the truth clearly, so assume that the situation is not accurate.

Rather than attempting to define the issue or make it flawless, use this energy to release guilt, inferiority or the endless attempts to fix what cannot be fixed. Rather than getting caught up in the victim/martyr dynamic, decide that the best you can do is offer compassion (for yourself, especially). If something fades, just let it go.

Full Moon in Pisces September 2019 – A Holy Place

The Full Moon occurs at 05:32 (BST) on September 14, 2019 at 21°Pi05′. Still, there is no air in the chart. With a high number of planets in Earth signs combined with this watery Moon, we’d be forgiven for thinking we’re slogging through muddy ground. The atmosphere feels thick and heavy, yet the skies draw […]

September 9th, 2019: Black Moon Lilith and Mars in Virgo

Henri Pinta

  • Mars in Virgo trine Saturn in Capricorn (13 deg)

  • Mars in Virgo opposite Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (14 deg)

Cautious actions (Mars in Virgo) harmonize with the rules (Saturn). Excellent for focus, doing what needs to be done and working carefully.

But the opposition to BML suggests that actions/male energy will be at odds with the “dangerous” woman. BML in Pisces is the witch, the seductress or the woman on the fringes who defies definition. Mars trine Saturn wants to define and make it official and this will directly contradict what Lilith is trying to do.

However, note that Saturn Rx made a supportive sextile to BML on Sept 6th, so this is not as simple as the patriarchy repressing the magical woman. The rules can work for and stabilize undefined or transcendent expressions of female sexuality and independence – focusing that outlier energy in one direction (on a concrete issue) is key. Give her authority by using her power with serious conviction. The Mars opposition suggests fault-finding actions (Mars in Virgo can be prudish and judgemental) that challenge BML’s limitless growth. This is the moment to fall back on her rules – she can build up authority for herself if she takes herself seriously and works within the system for change, rather than letting her anger dominate.

Sacred sexuality and female energy with no boundaries may be threatening to some, but the Saturn sextile indicates that she has her own powerful traditions and rules. Consider if you feel threatened or empowered by her (she cannot be controlled or defined).
