  • Venus conjunct Saturn in Capricorn (16 deg)

  • Chiron enters Aries (4:07 am EST)

  • Pallas stations Rx in Libra (29 deg)

Venus/Saturn

Continuing yesterday’s activation of the Saturn/Neptune sextile, Venus conjunct Saturn defines what you have and what you can’t have. Here is the reality of a commitment, restriction or responsibility involving relationships, finances, self-esteem or values. Saturn makes it real and (in combination with Neptune) can also define what you have to give up in order to get what you want. Or, perhaps what you have to give up, period.

Venus/Saturn is the dividing line – the new beginning that separates past from present. This is permanent and official. Make it so.

Chiron into Aries

Chiron returns to Aries for the long haul (it won’t be completely done with this sign until April 2027). For details and dates on this transit, check this post.

Chiron’s return will reactivate issues from its first Aries ingress (April 17th, 2018) but now you’ll be pressing forward with the battle. There’s no turning back. Are you ready to fight with vulnerability as your banner? It’s interesting that the Venus/Saturn conjunction happens on this same day because it really does emphasize that hard line between past and present.

But we also have the Sun’s Pisces ingress today, so there’s a reminder that compassion and forgiveness are important. Be gentle with yourself, even as you step into the fray.

Pallas Rx

Pallas reaches the final degree of Venus-ruled Libra, then she stations Rx. The social or relationship strategy that you thought was complete needs a review. You’ll have to rethink how you relate to others, and the connection to Venus/Saturn is important – there’s a clear reality or rule that means you have to reassess your approach.

Pallas will station direct on May 30th (10 deg Libra) and will exit Libra for Scorpio on August 26th.

Sun enters Pisces. Good day! During the next four weeks, we’ll be led onto a gentle path of forgiveness, acceptance and harmony as the powerful Sun (ego, spirit) moves from altruistic Aquarius on Monday February 18, into the magickal realm of healing Pisces. Reflective waters will illuminate our sparkle… but also reveal our darkest insecurities. […]

Pisces Season, 2019

The Sun enters Pisces this evening (February 18th) at 6:03 pm EST. This is the season where nothing is defined and everything (or nothing) is possible. It all depends on how you work with the energy of transcendence, allowance, release and spirituality.

Pisces is an expansive influence because boundaries are dissolved. But it’s often difficult to place any values on what expands because this is not about material gain. More is possible, but only if you release control and expectations. This is very much about going with the flow and trusting that it will take you to the perfect place at the perfect time.

This energy can be soothing or confusing, healing or undermining. As the last sign, endings can occur as situations gently but relentlessly dissolve. You simply cannot hold onto what’s fading away. But if you remain open, something new can flow in just as easily.

This year, expansion is boosted thanks to a square from Jupiter in Sag. This is the “no limits” aspect, but we always have to use to caution with hard aspects to Jupiter – there will be exaggeration or overestimation.

Here are the aspects the Pisces Sun will make:

  • Feb 19th: Full Moon (0 deg Virgo)

  • Feb 23rd: square Juno in Gemini (4 deg)

  • Feb 27th: sextile Mars in Taurus (9 deg)

  • Feb 28th: square Ceres in Sagittarius (9 deg)

  • Mar 6th: New Moon (15 deg Pisces)

  • Mar 6th: conjunct Neptune (16 deg)

  • Mar 7th: conjunct Vesta (17 deg)

  • Mar 9th: sextile Saturn in Capricorn (18 deg)

  • Mar 13th: sextile Pluto in Capricorn (22 deg)

  • Mar 13th: square Jupiter in Sagittarius (23 deg)

  • Mar 14th: conjunct Mercury Rx (24 deg)

  • Mar 15th: trine the Cancer North Node (24 deg)

  • Mar 17th: inconjunct Pallas Rx in Libra (27 deg)

  • Mar 20th: Aries ingress
