Your Monthly Podcast

Oh my!  We are deep into Poseidon’s watery territory this month. Watch out for the jellyfish and the sharks. On the other hand, look at those flashing schools of multi-coloured fish over on that coral reef, and some dolphins disporting themselves on those waves and a mermaid on that rock singing hallelujahs. Pour yourself a Cosmopolitan and have a listen! And maybe slap some slices of cucumber on your eyelids…

February 19th, 2019: Mercury Conjunct Neptune

Henry Ossawa Tanner

Henry Ossawa Tanner

  • Mercury in Pisces conjunct Neptune (15 deg)

  • Mercury in Pisces sextile Saturn in Capricorn (16 deg)

Mercury/Neptune is the first of three conjunctions, due to Mercury’s upcoming Rx (see this post for dates and degrees).

Neptune can expand Mercury’s information (more is possible) but it can also undermine and blur the facts. You may “see” something extra or think you have the whole story, but know that what you learn today is only the beginning. You’ll be revisiting this issue until April – facts will morph and what’s true or false will not be clear.

For now, remain open to what you learn. It’s important, even if you don’t know if it’s real. Consider it to be the first layer of a more complex issue. And, know that Mercury’s activation of the Saturn/Neptune sextile means that a sacrifice will be put into words. Not a huge sacrifice, mind you. But an acceptance of a certain reality (Saturn) that involves quiet understanding and release.

If you can maintain your focus (Saturn) on the higher goal (what’s most important, what you’re trying to accomplish) rather than trying to define or understand everything right away, you’ll find this influence easier to deal with. Allow the shifting details to flow around you and keep your eye on the end game. Accept what you can’t understand and what you have to give up in order to manifest what’s important to you.

Planetary news this week! Virgo Supermoon and astrological forecast February 18-25th, 2019

The planets are pretty earthy right now which can help us to find our feet in the ever-changing unfolding of experiences of life.  Not everyone loves the experience of stability and security and a realm of practicality where every decision matters, but as we cycle through the realms of intellect and thought (air), motivation and […]

Full Moon in Virgo February 2019 – The Art of Life

The Full Moon occurs at 15:53 (UT) on February 19, 2019 at 00°Vi42′. This is an interesting lunation as it takes place on 0 degrees of Virgo. Zero degrees are about beginnings, yet Full Moons bring things to a conclusion. So, we have a decision, crisis or resolution that involves a new beginning. Our attention […]

February 18th, 2019: Today’s Reality (Chiron Enters Aries)

Pieter Brueghel the Elder

  • 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.
