Sun/Neptune

The Sun/Neptune trine hints at the flow for the upcoming Scorpio New Moon. Neptune dissolves boundaries and Scorpio is about going as deep/getting as close as possible. This energy enables complete intimacy or complete immersion in something that you’re mildly obsessed with. It can be absolutely compassionate (Scorpio does not shrink from the darkness) and healing. But it can also enable an unhealthy immersion, so before you dive in, make sure you really want to go there.

Uranus and the Nodes

While the above aspect is significant (and can indicate New Moon events a couple of days early) the big news today is Uranus’ return to Aries and square to the Nodes (newly into Capricorn/Cancer).

The last time Uranus hit 29 deg Aries was on May 14th/15th (just before its Taurus ingress). There may have been an urgent break for freedom, or a push into new territory. As Uranus returns to that degree, disruption of Taurus values/resources/security has temporarily been on hold because something from the past still needs to be shaken loose.

You may have encountered this from April to May 2018 – a spark that needed to be lit, or a new door that needed to be kicked open. Perhaps you needed to venture into new territory and claim your independence. In some way, that ending/beginning has not been completed. Before you can continue to redefine your resources/values, you need to take one last kick at the past.

The South Node enters Saturn-ruled Capricorn and the North Node enters Cancer (ruled by the Moon). Issues from the past (South Node) will involve rules, traditions, authority, fears and repression. Issues to develop (your path to the future – North Node) will involve needs, security and inner (as opposed to externally defined) reality. Parental issues (Capricorn as father and Cancer as mother/child) may also be prominent. The Nodes will exit Cancer/Capricorn for Gemini/Sagittarius on May 5th, 2020.

Uranus’ square to the Nodes adds tremendous emphasis to this moment. You may need to liberate (Uranus) yourself from the rules/fears/definitions of the past before you can embrace an emotionally authentic and secure future. The square aspect means this will be a crisis (you may be afraid to break loose or you may need to time the break carefully) but it will be essential. Perhaps you need to come to terms with years of disruption, escape and instability (Uranus) before you can create comfort and security (Cancer) in your future.

Too, you may be hit by a disruptive event that forcefully boots you into a new chapter.

You’re at the crossroads now. Behind you lies old structures and definitions. Ahead lies something that will resonate in your gut – real satisfaction and a connection to what you need.

Although not exact, Uranus Rx at 0 deg Taurus will square the Nodes at 0 deg Aquarius/Leo before the shift into new signs. So the crossroads will begin with breaking away from old values/resources as a turning point between past issues of alienation/detachment (South Node in Aquarius) versus moving ahead to a place of pride/power (North Node in Leo). It will be interesting to see if you feel the shift, once everything changes signs.
