Neptune

Retrograde since June 18th (from 16 to 13 deg Pisces) Neptune direct is about moving forward after the last remnants of an illusion/dream/outdated situation have dissolved. There may be a release as something fades away. If Neptune has been triggering confusion or loss of focus, this can be a time when you make some headway and progress further into the unknown country (forward means you’re one step closer to the other side).

If you have a natal plant or point at:

  • 13 deg of the Mutable signs, Neptune will be permanently done with you as of December 27th, 2018 (roughly)

  • 14 deg of the Mutable signs, Neptune will be permanently done with you as of February, 2019 (roughly)

  • 17 to 18 deg of the Mutable signs, you’ll be getting your first taste of Neptune around April 2019

Mercury/Pallas

Mercury in Sag makes the first of two sextiles to Pallas. This is a quiet but positive influence – any harmonious aspect between Mercury and Pallas blends information/communication with strategy. Pallas in Libra is about relationship or diplomatic strategies, and boosted by Mercury in Sag, we have expansive communication to deliver these strategies. Meaning, a convincing way to send your message.

But Mercury is Rx, so this will be a revision of previous information, or a second request. Ask again and restrategize. Mercury direct will sextile Pallas again on December 29th, so the plan may not roll forward in its entirety until then.

For now, rest assured that this is a good time to adjust those solutions and have them favourably received. And it’s happening when Neptune goes direct, so you know there will be progress, even if it’s slow.

November 23rd, 2018: Venus in Libra Square Vesta

  • Venus in Libra square Vesta in Capricorn (26 deg)

Vesta’s rigid focus (in Saturn-ruled Capricorn) can cause tension with a relationship, financial or self-esteem issue. Venus in Libra wants harmony and balance, but the tension of the square suggests that strict concentration on what you want but don’t have (or where you don’t feel good enough) can cause an imbalance.

Today, you may be aware of a situation where you don’t feel loved/liked or where the exchange between you and another is not equal. Know that obsessing about this will increase the blockage you already feel. Consider what rules or boundaries are challenging you and see if there’s a compromise available between what you want versus what is.

For some, excessive focus on responsibility or work can create blocks in the personal life. Are you shutting someone out because of your devotion to status or tradition?

Sagittarius Season With Jupiter

   Jehan Georges Vibert

Jehan Georges Vibert

Sagittarius season begins today (Nov 22nd) with the Sun’s ingress at 4:01 AM EST.

This is the season of hope, distant horizons, possibilities and expansion. And of course, this year Sagittarius will juiced up by the presence of Jupiter, at home in his sign. Jupiter will amplify Sag energy in general. Expect more enthusiasm, more opportunities and more optimistic beliefs (whether or not they’re realistic).

Sun Sagittarians with birthdays between November 22nd and November 26th/27th will benefit from a Sun/Jupiter conjunction. This energy will be part of your Solar Return year, which means some area of your life will be bursting with “more” – what can you do with this gift? Jupiter brings something/someone new that is (usually) beneficial. While Jupiter has been known to expand negative potentials, it’s really hard to go wrong with a Sun/Jupiter conjunction. That’s pure power, confidence and faith in the next big thing.

Jupiter is also about wisdom, so this Sag season could trigger new insight and knowledge. Keep your eyes and ears open.

Even if you don’t get this conjunction on your birthday (or if you’re not a Sun Sag) you can still do something with it (see the list below for exact date and degree). The Sun will illuminate the Sagittarius area in your chart and there could be a spot of luck, assistance, growth or a gift. Yes, Jupiter can brings gifts: you don’t have to work to earn Jupiter rewards, although if you want to make the most of them it’s always helpful to do more with what you’re given.

Or, maybe you want to celebrate. Sun/Jupiter can also mean massive enjoyment and sometimes you just want to enjoy what life has to offer.

Here are the aspects the Sagittarius Sun will make:

  • Nov 23rd: Full Moon (0 deg Gemini)

  • Nov 26th: conjunct Jupiter (3 deg)

  • Nov 27th: conjunct Mercury Rx (5 deg)

  • Dec 2nd: square Mars in Pisces (10 deg)

  • Dec 4th: sextile Pallas in Libra (12 deg)

  • Dec 5th: sextile Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (13 deg)

  • Dec 5th: square Neptune in Pisces (13 deg)

  • Dec 7th: New Moon (15 deg)

  • Dec 12th: inconjunct Juno Rx in Taurus (20 deg)

  • Dec 18th: inconjunct Cancer North Node (27 deg)

  • Dec 19th: square Chiron in Pisces (27 deg)

  • Dec 20th: trine Uranus Rx in Aries (28 deg)

  • Dec 21st: Capricorn ingress
