FEB 1. Mars square or opposition Pluto marries sex with power, since the dynamism of the hard aspect will pull out these planets most domineering qualities.This aspect can…

Mars/Pluto
Mars (conscious actions, anger) in a crisis-ridden square to Pluto (power and unconscious motivations) suggests powerful eruptions that are driven by things you’re not fully aware of. The crisis lies in the tension between unconscious and conscious – actions don’t align with motivations, and the result is usually something frustrated, hostile or even violent. Especially with Mars at full force in aggressive Aries.
So the key here is awareness. Before you do it or lash out, pay attention to what’s driving you. What do you really want to accomplish? Chances are there will be a deep push that feels urgent – life or death, even if the situation is something mundane like arguing over who takes out the garbage. Tune into the urgency, because it’s a doorway into what’s really motivating you (a simmering issue).
The risk is doing something out of proportion to the external circumstances. Don’t allow yourself to get carried away by what you haven’t fully identified. Too, someone could be attempting to manipulate you with domineering actions. Again, know that there’s more beneath the surface.
On the plus side, the square always suggests a corner that can be turned. And this aspect is tremendously powerful. If directed correctly, your actions can permanently transform a situation.
Think about that.
This is a First Quarter Square, which means you’ll be pushed to do something. But it’s not the start – the actual kickoff of this issue was April 26th, 2018 when Mars conjoined Pluto Rx at 21 deg Capricorn. Now you’ve reached the crisis and turning point.
Vesta
Vesta’s focus turns towards unseen matters as she enters Pisces. Here we have devotion to all things spiritual, creative and compassionate. Devotion can become heightened if you get hooked into a higher ideal or dream- this transit favours meditation, visionary work and prayer.
Vesta can become fixated on an issue, and if that happens to be something you feel requires your sacrifice, you can end up losing a great deal. Sometimes sacrifices are necessary, but sometimes they’re misguided.
Vesta will exit Pisces for Aries on April 3rd, 2019.
Vesta into Pisces and Mars/Pluto create an interesting contrast. Consider where your motivations are pushing you – Vesta’s higher focus suggests a transformation for the better. Can you feel the two energies? You’ll certainly feel Mars/Pluto’s raw power (or powerful manipulations) but see if you can sense a shift in focus to something that allows you to transcend or release (Pisces).

I can’t speak for you, but all my attention is on the Mars-Pluto square perfecting today, with a hint as …

Saturn in Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces (14 deg)
Venus in Sagittarius inconjunct Juno in Taurus (26 deg)
Venus in Sagittarius inconjunct North Node in Cancer (26 deg)
Saturn/Neptune
Saturn and Neptune make the first of three sextiles this year. Form (Saturn) harmonizes with what dissolves (Neptune) form for subtle but effective energy. This is the aspect for gradual changes to rules or structure. And, you can make certain dreams real.
But Saturn and Neptune together also imply some kind of sacrifice. Specifically, Saturn’s reality puts limits on Neptune’s dreams. Even though the sextile is a harmonious aspect, there will still be a small sacrifice required to get what you want. You will have to work extra hard and give something up in order to create. You will have to be patient and serene but also disciplined.
This aspect will not deliver quick results or glory/security/wealth. But if you tap into it with soft control, you can create something new (based on a pre-existing structure).
June 18th: Saturn Rx sextile Neptune (18 deg)
November 8th: Saturn sextile Neptune Rx (16 deg)
Venus
Venus in Sag is the focal point of an aspect configuration called a Yod as she makes an awkward inconjunct to the Cancer North Node and Juno in Taurus. Juno/NN (the base of the Yod) form a stable sextile with each other – set partnership agreements (Juno) will support the path forward to emotional security (North Node). But the inconjuncts to Venus means new options, lessons or opportunities (Sagittarius) will challenge this security.
With a Yod, the only way to move forward is to incorporate the focal point energy – explore new options and broaden your definitions of what’s right/acceptable in the areas of love, money or values. If you don’t incorporate what’s new, the relationship agreement you have will stagnate. Explore and have faith while maintaining your security base.
