October 10th, 2018: Scorpio Challenged

by  •

  • Mercury in Scorpio opposite Uranus Rx in Taurus (1 deg)

  • Venus Rx in Scorpio square Mars in Aquarius (10 deg)

Mercury/Uranus

Uranus is the flash of light that illuminates Mercury in the darkness (Scorpio). There may be a sudden blast of truth, an abrupt goodbye (oppositions are endings or results) or an unexpected reveal of hidden information.

The opposition suggests an external source, and because of Scorpio’s depth, the actual result will reverberate on a profound level. It may be challenging to receive this information (or maybe you’re the one dishing out the extreme truths) because it won’t be easily received. Keep this in mind if you’re speaking/writing. If you’re on the receiving end, sit with what you’ve learned and consider it a rare chance to really see what’s going on down there.

Venus/Mars

Venus Rx/Mars can be motivating, pushy or sexy. Maybe all three. Venus Rx in Scorpio is intensely internal while Mars in Aquarius is detached actions. Mars wants but is pushing a bit too hard for Venus, even though under some circumstances this can indicate hot chemistry.

Venus Rx means that the crisis (square) of discordant actions will trigger even deeper awareness regarding money, values or relationships. But that also means that the Venus subject (a person or desired goal) will probably not be receptive to Mars. Expect delays and re-evaluations. Someone/something may withdraw even further.

Scorpio is getting hammered today by some harsh Uranus/Aquarius action. Scorpio does not like to have reveals forced on it (this sign like to do the revealing) but that’s exactly what this energy will do. So be prepared for more to come out at a much faster pace than you’re comfortable with.

Now it’s out there. What will you do?

This Is Us: the Trump-US Relationship

by Jude Cowell

A synastry grid comparing the natal planets of Donald Trump with America’s natal planets is replete with potentials for tension, anger, scandals, notoriety, confusion, misunderstandings, deception, and undermining by and of allies–but also an attraction, plus the possibility of Chirotic healing, or at least a soothing, of our society’s past

October 9th, 2018: Mercury in Libra Inconjunct Chiron

  • Mercury in Libra inconjunct Chiron Rx in Pisces (29 deg)

Mercury’s inconjunct, before it plunges into Scorpio this evening, suggests an awkward conversation or observation. The social facade will be disrupted – attempts to gloss over Chiron’s pain, embarrassment or discomfort will miss the point. This is not something you should avoid.

Mercury in Libra does demand some social finesse; you can still be gracious. But there’s no use pretending that everything’s ok, because your attention has just been drawn to a repeat (Rx) wound.

And how fortuitous that Mercury will be entering the sign of darkness and profound honesty after this aspect. This does suggest that Chiron’s wound is only the tip of the iceberg. As you move forward you’ll see and hear much more. Use this moment to recognize what’s wrong, then be prepared to go deeper (investigate or do some intense inner work).

Mercury’s Transit of Scorpio and Mercury Retrograde

by  •

Mercury enters Scorpio on October 9th, opening our eyes to what lies in the shadows. This transit is about intimate discussions with a raw edge, the reveal of secrets, clandestine research and peering into the dark side. Mercury in Scorpio may be a less vocal transit, but silence can have a huge impact.

This energy is about making sense of what’s taboo or uncomfortable. There’s a need to understand all the dark things, because knowledge is power for Scorpio. And ultimately, Scorpio is a sign of power, survival and evolution.

Any information that is written or vocalized will not be superficial. Words will be chosen carefully and will have weight – this is your transit if you want to uncover secrets or deliver a message with maximum impact. Talk less, pay attention to what’s going on behind the scenes and don’t be afraid of what you don’t want to know.

Mercury Retrograde

Mercury will station Rx in Sagittarius on November 16th and will re-enter Scorpio on December 1st. From December 1st, 2018 to December 6th, 2018 Mercury will be Rx in Scorpio, which will push you to look even more deeply at what’s hidden or uncomfortable. This will be a brief but profound retrograde in Scorpio, suggesting the reveal of a key taboo, secret or soul truth. Mercury will station direct on December 6th, finally exiting Scorpio on December 12th.

Mercury Rx from Sagittarius to Scorpio suggests looking more closely at what lies beneath the story or new opportunity. The truth behind the truth.

Here are the aspects Mercury in Scorpio will make:

  • Oct 10th: opposite Uranus Rx in Taurus (1 deg)

  • Oct 10th: inconjunct Juno (0 deg Gemini)

  • Oct 11th: square the Nodes in Aquarius/Leo (2 deg)

  • Oct 12th: sextile Saturn in Capricorn (3 deg)

  • Oct 14th: square Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (7 deg)

  • Oct 15th: conjunct Venus Rx (8 deg)

  • Oct 16th: sextile Vesta in Capricorn (9 deg)

  • Oct 19th: trine Neptune Rx in Pisces (14 deg)

  • Oct 19th: square Mars in Aquarius (14 deg)

  • Oct 22nd: sextile Pluto in Capricorn (18 deg)

  • Oct 28th: sextile Pallas in Virgo (26 deg)

  • Oct 29th: conjunct Jupiter (27 deg)

  • Oct 29th: trine Chiron Rx in Pisces (28 deg)

  • Oct 30th: opposite Juno Rx in Taurus (29 deg)

  • Oct 31st: Sagittarius ingress

  • Dec 1st: Mercury Rx re-enters Scorpio

  • Dec 1st: Mercury Rx sextile Vesta in Capricorn (29 deg)

  • Dec 2nd: Mercury Rx inconjunct Uranus Rx in Aries (29 deg)

  • Dec 4th: Mercury Rx trine Chiron Rx in Pisces (27 deg)

  • Dec 4th: Mercury Rx trine the Cancer North Node (27 deg)

  • Dec 6th: Mercury stations direct (27 deg)

  • Dec 7th: Mercury trine the Cancer North Node (27 deg)

  • Dec 9th: Mercury trine Chiron in Pisces (27 deg)

  • Dec 11th: Mercury inconjunct Uranus Rx in Aries (28 deg)

  • Dec 12th: Sagittarius ingress

October 8th, 2018: Just Before The Libra New Moon

  • Libra Moon trine the Aquarius South Node (3 deg)

  • Libra Moon square Saturn in Capricorn (3 deg)

  • Libra Moon square Vesta in Capricorn (6 deg)

  • Libra Moon trine Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (7 deg)

  • Libra Moon trine Mars in Aquarius (9 deg)

Leading up to today’s New Moon in Libra (11:46 PM EDT) the Waning Moon starts with a harmonious contact to the South Node – the past is easily integrated into the present. This is a mild aspect so you probably won’t feel it strongly, but watch for a sense of familiarity as big issues involving liberation, individuation or the group play out in a one-on-one context. Been there, done that.

The squares to Saturn and Vesta are a bit more pronounced, suggesting limits on a relationship or an imbalance due to excessive focus in one area. At this point you may discover that social acceptance or peace are defined (by tradition) to the point where your options are limited. This energy can feel uncomfortable – maybe you’re being judged or cut off.

However, the trines to BML and Mars provide a nice outlet: if the rules aren’t working for you, know that there’s another way. BML and Mars in Aquarius encourage you to follow the alternative path and act from a place of honest motivation. Don’t worry about being liked – the trine suggests there should be natural acceptance and understanding from another.

These trines refer back to any Aquarius South Node issues that are coming forward – past issues of rebellion, freedom or feeling like an outcast can be worked through.

All this occurs during the Dark or Waning Moon. The time just before the New Moon is perfect for wrapping up old issues, saying goodbye or shutting something down. You need to do this in order to approach the New Moon with a clean slate.

What relationship and social dynamics are ending?
