  • Waning Sextile between the Libra Moon and Sagittarius Sun (10 deg)

  • Sun in Sagittarius square Mars in Pisces (10 deg)

  • Mercury Rx in Scorpio inconjunct Uranus Rx in Aries (29 deg)

  • Venus enters Scorpio

  • Chiron Rx in Pisces trines the Cancer North Node (27 deg)

A rather full day today with myriad, shifting energies that promise some tension, some harmony and some healing.

Waning Sextile

The Waning Sextile gives you an opportunity to move into new territory (travel, education or the embrace of a new belief-Sagittarius) in a balanced, harmonious (Libra) way. This is a highly social aspect that implies support from others as you explore new possibilities.

However, note that the Sun does square Mars, so what you’re moving towards will have an edge. There may be some tension between actions and goals but the actions will not be 100% clear (Mars in Pisces can be diffused). As you step into the unknown country, use the tension to motivate you, but move with caution.

This energy will lead to December 7th’s New Moon in Sagittarius (stay tuned for a separate post on this).

Mercury, Venus and Chiron

Mercury Rx’s recent return to Scorpio is marked by a tense inconjunct with Uranus Rx. The hidden, uncomfortable or intimate information that you’re reviewing/researching will involve a jarring truth or reveal. But the disruption will have to be adjusted with deeper information that will need to remain private or unspoken. This is a tricky aspect that will be repeated on December 11th (when Mercury is direct) so you’re only on the first step.

Meanwhile, Venus re-enters Scorpio for the first time since September 9th. Venus back into Scorpio, post-retrograde, indicates that you are ready to complete the journey that began on September 9th- a complete immersion in a relationship, financial or self-esteem issue. Venus Rx pushed you to re-evaluate, but that process is over. Now you move forward with the knowledge you’ve gained (you know what you have and what you deserve).

Note that Mercury Rx is hitting the late degrees of Scorpio and Venus is activating the early degrees, so the full depth of an issue is being mined. Mercury Rx urges you to analyze and put it into words (even if those words are only in your head) while Venus asks you to move ahead with what you really want. In both cases (mind and heart) nothing will do but total honesty and an unblinking look at what lies beneath the surface (this can also refer to your recently discovered reservoirs of power).

Chiron and the North Node encourage you to deal with a wound/vulnerability. Harmony with the North Node means there should be a beneficial way through the discomfort, and it will involve acknowledging vulnerable feelings. But the process should feel natural and relatively painless. Is it time to forgive, move on or stop the sacrifice/self-flagellation? You’re not denying the wound or making it disappear, but you are finding a place (the North Node) where you can feel whole and safe.

December 1st, 2018: Mercury Rx Into Scorpio

  • Mercury Rx returns to Scorpio

  • Mercury Rx in Scorpio sextile Vesta in Capricorn (29 deg)

  • Vesta enters Aquarius

Mercury backs out of Sagittarius and returns to Scorpio, activating issues from October 30th (when it first exited Scorpio for Sag). Now as Mercury is retrograde, the questions that have been raised about the story, promise or big picture (Sagittarius) go a step deeper, to what lies beneath.

Mercury Rx in Scorpio is the transit for digging into secrets, peering into the shadows and obsessing about an obscure/taboo issue. This portion of Mercury’s Rx transit might take you to some dark places, but you’ll definitely learn ultimate truths.

Mercury/Vesta enhances this concentration (Vesta is about devotion and pure focus) on one issue. This may have first caught your attention around October 16th, when Mercury/Vesta connected by sextile at 9 deg Scorpio/Capricorn. Now, the matter has progressed (we’ve moved from the early to the final degree) and you may be peering intently at it as you drill into the heart of the issue.

What is demanding your full attention? Know that there’s more to uncover, but you’re almost done (Mercury stations direct on December 6th).

A few hours after this, Vesta moves into Aquarius. After the brief but intense period of concentration, the sign change suggests awareness of more detached, universal subjects. Vesta in Aquarius is about devotion to the group (in an abstract way) and/or the freedom to be you, no matter how far outside the lines this places you.

Keeping in mind that Vesta always involves limits (which create the sacred focus) this transit can light the fire of uncompromising freedom or it can enhance existing feelings of being an outcast. Consider the contrast between what you saw in Scorpio’s depths versus the clear light of Aquarius’ detachment.

Vesta will exit Aquarius for Pisces on February 1st, 2019.
