Saturn In Capricorn For Aries – Clash!

by  • 
I’ve been working with a lot people with planets in Aries lately.   I think this is due to Saturn’s transit through Capricorn as well as all the planets that are retrograde at this time.  Aries speeds things up.  Progress seems … Read More…

August 2nd, 2018: Waning Trine

by  •

  • Moon in Aries trine Sun in Leo: 9 deg (2:03 AM EDT)
  • Moon in Aries trine Pallas in Leo: 12 deg
  • Moon in Aries square Pluto Rx in Capricorn: 19 deg
  • Moon in Aries trine Mercury Rx in Leo: 20 deg

No action with the planets or asteroids today, but we are in a key moment of the lunar cycle.

The warrior Aries Moon makes a Waning Trine to the proud Leo Sun, as creativity and dignity integrate easily with courage and initiative. This energy encourages you to put it out there – others should be receptive and will give you that desired appreciation. There’s an audience waiting. 

As the Moon goes on to trine Pallas, strategies about how to implement the above should roll out easily. There will be no shortage of initiative and bold battle plans. 

But it won’t all be smooth sailing. The Moon’s square to Pluto suggests moments of compulsion and aggressive pushing. This will not be necessary (although it may feel necessary) because we are in the Moon’s Disseminating phase – wisdom and talents are shared easily with others. This is not your moment to dominate (there’s no struggle, no fight). You may feel like you have to attack or defend, but consider where that’s coming from. What’s the base impulse? 

The Moon’s last aspect before she goes Void of Course (at 10:50 PM EDT) is a trine to Mercury Rx. The flow is restored as you reach back for those creative thoughts, or an idea/contact from the past reappears. This is instinctive communication- just say what feels right, and it should come out beautifully. 

The Moon will be VOC until August 3rd, 3:50 PM EDT. If you’re launching/starting/making plans, ideally you want to do it before 10:50 PM Aug 2nd and after 3:50 PM Aug 3rd.

August Correction!

by  • 

I got myself into a Uranian switcheroo with the Aquarius horoscopes. So sorry Aquarians, I got it backwards — how Uranian is that? Corrections have been sent out twice, but with the mistake still compounded in the first one! The correct one is also accessible from this site — to get there click here. I’m blaming Mercury Retrograde, of course, but I suspect that Uranus turning retrograde now needs his own personal post for everyone. Uranus turns retrograde on August 7 at 2° Taurus.

The post August Correction! appeared first on The Oxford Astrologer.

August 1st, 2018: Mars Square Uranus and Vesta Direct

by  •

  • Mars Rx in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus (2 deg)
  • Vesta direct in Sagittarius (22 deg)

Mars makes the second of three squares to Uranus. The disruption or break for freedom is not over. Despite the flash-bang quality of this energy, this is an extended influence. It’s about detaching from the past, but that detachment may require more than the usual amount of effort. 

Mars Rx specifically means try again or review your actions. What are your true motivations and where are you going? If you’re refusing to change, this Rx could be the harder shake – the jolt that you’ve been trying to avoid. Or, it could be the second chance that you’ve been waiting for. 

As I wrote in this post:

“The abrupt shove will introduce Uranus’ seven years of change in Taurus…Mars Rx in Aquarius intensifies specific actions so the move towards independence can happen (sometimes it takes extra effort to break away from the past). Or, Mars Rx can delay actions/progress if the impulse is poorly timed.”

Here are the three squares:

  • May 16th: Mars square Uranus (0 deg Taurus)
  • August 1st: Mars Rx square Uranus (2 deg Taurus)
  • September 18th: Mars square Uranus Rx (1 deg Taurus)

Vesta direct can widen Vesta Rx’s tunnel vision.  If you’ve been fixated on a truth, ideal or hope since Vesta stationed Rx (May 8th, 2018) her direct motion suggests you may be ready to look further. What has Vesta Rx taught you? Has your faith been renewed or are you now disappointed? Either way, it’s time to move on because Sagittarius’ horizons are always widening. Keep searching for new truths, new ideals. Expanding faith will feed Vesta’s flame. 

With direct and Rx emphasized on the same day, you may feel the tension between looking forward but dealing with delays/reviews. Everything does not always move in the same direction. You can deal with this by looking ahead where it feels natural to do so, and accepting that the wheels are spinning in another part of your life. Know that in a few weeks (once Mars stations direct) there will be progress here too.

    August 2018: Is Trump’s Mojo Wilting?

    by  • 

    Based on Donald Trump’s dismally dropping support among Midwestern voters some pundits are saying that the Trump-Putin ‘Summit’ in Helsinki, Finland with its anti-America flavor was a turning point in Trump’s popularity if not his White House tenure. …
