July 4th, 2019: Saturn Conjunct the South Node
Saturn Rx conjunct the Capricorn South Node (17 deg)
Here we have the second of three conjunctions. Saturn (rules, limits, responsibility, authority) over the South Node (the past) is about old Saturn issues coming home to roost. Daddy issues. Obligations. Fears. Traditions.
There’s a culmination – a confrontation that cannot be avoided. You may be reaping the results of responsibilities you’ve avoided. Of, if you’ve been diligently doing the work, perhaps you’re wrapping up a long-standing obligation that will soon be over. Maybe you’re reconnecting with your father, or your fears, or your limits. In some cases, you may even be rewarded with increased authority or an official commitment (yes, Saturn can deliver rewards).
But it’s not over – this is a long process that began around April 30th (the first conjunction) and will conclude around September 28th (the final conjunction). The first and second conjunctions feature Saturn Rx (reversed) so there’s an even greater emphasis on going back to the past and taking yet another look at that line. The final conjunction will be Saturn direct – progress. It may even feel a touch less heavy. Why is it dragging on for so long? Well, it would appear that something requires your undivided attention and commitment. It’s not a quick thing (Saturn is never quick).
If you’re feeling weighed down, take heart – you’re halfway through your thing. If you’ve been avoiding this, it will be much easier on you if you just take a deep breath and deal with it. You do not want to shrug Saturn off.
In some way, there’s a weight from the past that you still need to carry.

Venus’ Transit of Cancer: Mommy
Venus enters Cancer at 11:17 am EDT on July 3rd.
Cancer is ruled by the Moon, which is about needs. Venus is about what you want. The two are very different, but when Venus enters this sign they are united. So think about what you want and need, and how they can come together in the next month. Consider the differences and how they might unite.
Venus in Cancer adds a very personal cast to all relationship, financial and self- esteem issues. It matters because it matters to you, end of story. Venus in Cancer is emotional, empathetic, moody. Love/affection is displayed via nurturing and there is no way to detach. Yes, it’s personal and if they don’t get it they don’t get you. Literally.
You want to feel safe and cuddled. Love is expressed with hugs. If there’s no emotional connection- f**k them.
Food.
We can’t forget about Cancer’s association with comfort food – chocolate, soup, mashed potatoes. Whatever you want and whatever makes you feel good. This is a potent blend of want and security. Mother, nourishment. Milk. How does this play out in your life?
Regardless of what your relationship is with your mother, this transit can take you to a place where you are aware of what you want and need, and it’s all about her. It’s potent because it’s based on the past.
