  • Sun in Aquarius conjunct Black Moon Lilith (20 deg)

  • Mars in Aries square the Capricorn South Node/Cancer North Node (26 deg)

  • Mercury in Aquarius sextile Uranus in Aries (29 deg)

  • Mercury in Aquarius trine Pallas in Libra (29 deg)

Sun/BML carries forward themes from the February 4th New Moon: the outsider/taboo woman is in the spotlight. This energy illuminates issues of independence, alienation or power from being on the outside, all in the context of gender and sexual issues. The Sun can empower and add confidence, encouraging you to express a side of yourself that others may find shocking.

Mars’ square to the Nodes suggests that actions/anger will bring you to a turning point: will you stick with the old rules/repression (South Node) or will you move towards a place that honours your needs (North Node). Along with Sun/BML, this strongly favours honest expression of what’s passionate and vulnerable. This is not about lowering the hammer or trying to control all outcomes. The path forward is the Cancer North Node, which suggests strength in feeling and empathy.

Mercury’s aspects can help, as the sextile to Uranus encourages courageous free speech and the trine to Pallas indicates that this can actually support a social or relationship strategy. Despite the Uranus/Pallas opposition (an end or disruption to a relationship dynamic) Mercury’s harmonious aspects say that some cool, innovative ideas can smooth over any bumps. Change has arrived and a polite image or association will be disrupted. But if the words are delivered with calm detachment and logic others may see your point.

Taxes, Taxes, Taxes

The gap between the rich and the poor — globally, nationally, within regions and cities — has been widening since the 1980s. It’s true that many people across the world have also been lifted out of poverty in that time, but simultaneously in the so-called developed world, wages for middle and low income workers have stagnated. When Pluto went into Capricorn in 2008, the Lord of Burn and Slash in the sign of Big Government and Big Business, we saw the banking crisis. But Pluto is still in Capricorn and the world economy is still in a state of transformation. […]

February 8th, 2019: A Day of Disconnects

Gustave Moreau

  • Mercury in Aquarius inconjunct North Node in Cancer (26 deg)

  • Pallas in Libra inconjunct Juno in Taurus (29 deg)

An awkward day with a couple of inconjuncts (aspects of incompatibility). The key with this aspect is to adjust both sides so they can work together.

Mercury in Aquarius is innovative or odd ideas (of the future) and the Cancer North Node (path forward) is about developing a new area of comfort and emotional vulnerability. But the unusual information presented by Mercury will feel jarring and may distract you from the place ahead where you can feel safe.

Solution: use edgy (and detached) ideas to drive you forward but don’t ignore core feelings. Respect your needs while being honest.

Pallas/Juno highlights the disconnect between Venus-ruled Libra and Taurus. Pallas in Libra’s strategies reflect another or are focused on being polite/liked/loved. Juno in Taurus is the relationship agreement that is about stability and self-preservation at all costs. Libra is the other and Taurus is personal survival. Here we have social strategies that clash with a set relationship commitment.

Solution: remember that it takes two but don’t sacrifice core values and security.
