New Moon in Taurus

The May 4th New Moon in Taurus (14 deg) makes a wide trine to the Capricorn South Node, Saturn Rx and Pluto Rx. Solid new beginnings will be grounded in the past. Which means it’s essential that the ongoing ending of the Saturn Rx/South Node conjunction is addressed.

This New Moon suggests the first chapter in the three-part ending (Saturn will conjoin the SN three times) but it will be an indirect connection. The responsibilities, rules or definitions that you are solidifying/leaving behind (in the Capricorn area of your chart) will form the basis for a new beginning in the Taurus area of your chart. It may involve resources, values, self-esteem or your attempt to build a secure new foundation. You have to start the wrap-process process in another area of your life in order to do this. Pluto Rx ads a touch of profound transformation, reminding you that the ending is permanent (a death).

Taurus is not a fast-mover, so this new beginning will probably not be explosive. Deep commitment to ongoing results will be a theme – what begins will be long-lasting, so you want to do it right. But, there is an applying Mars/Jupiter opposition (exact on May 5th) as Mars in Gemini is challenged by Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius. This suggests big leaps, big actions or a major culmination that features exaggerated efforts.

The Sag/Gemini axis is flexible and quick, while Taurus is slow and deliberate. The contrast hints at a fast-moving result that may fuel your slowly-emerging beginning. There’s potential to push things too far/too fast, so remember to ground yourself in what you’re trying to build (there are no shortcuts).

May-Aug 2019: Jupiter Rx crosses DOJ Midheaven

by  • 

Previously we discussed the DOJ dedication chart and its three-fer Uranus Return with its third conjunction perfecting on February 18, 2019 (29Ari21). A ‘break away from the past’ is suggested and we see such an attempt in stark relief under the auspices of Donald Trump and his personal Attorney General William Barr who ‘testified’ on Capitol Hill, May 2, 2019 (outer chart).

Black Moon Lilith’s Transit of Pisces

Black Moon Lilith enters Pisces. The dark woman becomes even more difficult to pin down in this watery, transcendent sign.

For those of you not familiar with BML, she is named after Adam’s first wife who was exiled from the Garden because she refused to submit to him. She is female, sexual energy that is taboo and rebellious – she is the outsider, the prostitute, the witch, the demon and the other woman. She reminds us that there is a price for stepping outside the lines – she’s powerful but exiled.

While she’s in Pisces, watch for tricky situations where the lines are blurred. She carries the rage of being rejected, but nothing is overt in Pisces. So you may be encouraged to deceptively take revenge or become embroiled in a situation that undermines you. Lilith in Pisces can become immersed in the illusion – the addiction to what’s unavailable, the use of sexual energy that seems empowering but is actually diminishing. She can become the victim.

Yes, she’s about female empowerment. But she has a dark side and to deny this is to ignore who she really is. If you deny her anger and desire for vengeance, you make yourself vulnerable to her distorted energy. This can be just as destructive as using her rage to hurt others. Like a wild animal, she should always be treated with cautious respect – you can’t domesticate her.

The highest expression of BML in Pisces would be to transcend the anger and forget about those who don’t accept you. Tap into this sign’s limitlessness and consider how Lilith’s positive energy (her independence, her symbolism of all that’s socially unacceptable but crucial) can be expanded in positive ways. Rise above the rules, forgive those who have wronged you and forgive yourself if you’re hanging onto feelings of guilt or failure for not conforming to the stereotypes of wife/mother/good girl.

This transit can also be excellent for getting to know her better, if you want – she’s moving through the Pisces area of your chart where there are no boundaries. All you have to do is let her in.

Black Moon Lilith will exit Pisces for Aries on Jan 27th, 2020.
