Venus/Vesta

Carrying forward yesterday’s influences, Venus in harmony with Vesta suggests focus on an ideal/philosophy/area of exploration is supported by a relationship. It’s acceptable for you to be devoted to this, and it may even come off as charming. Too, this could be about the higher ideal of relationships – a new and exalted way to balance faith/exploration with what someone else wants. There’s a sense of beautiful justice as the story unfolds.

Pallas

Pallas into Virgo filters strategies through the lense of perfection. This is the extremely detailed strategy or the concise pattern that neatly connects A with B. Facts meet creativity and the goal is to find the ultimate solution. 

Virgo’s purity factors into this. It’s about doing what’s best and finding the cleanest way to apply what you know. Integration is important – Pallas in this sign suggests picking out the most important details, discarding everything else and following that essential pattern which will (hopefully) create a finely-tuned system. Pallas helps you see how all the little parts fit together.

Obsessively detailed jobs will flourish under this transit, especially if they involve healing, fixing, upgrading, editing or specialised craftmanship. 

Pallas will exit Virgo for Libra on November 4th, 2018.

Are economists the new astrologers?

A controversial article has been circulating through the financial news for the past year or so that equates economists with astrologers because, its author argues, both are pseudosciences.  Ironically, the argument given is that economists were not able to predict the 2008 economic crash: The failure of the field to predict the 2008 crisis has […]

September 3rd, 2018: A Mix Of Beautiful and Practical

  • Mercury in Leo sextile Venus in Libra (25 deg)
  • Mercury in Leo trine Vesta in Sagittarius (26 deg)
  • Mars in Capricorn trine Ceres in Virgo (28 deg)

Mercury/Venus is communication with a hint of romance or creativity. Shiny words are sweetened with the perfect touch of charm – great for sparkling conversation. The trine to Vesta suggests that a story, ideal or higher form of knowledge that you’ve been focusing on can be shared with others in the best possible way. Excellent if you’re trying to convince someone of something, or impress them with your wisdom. Also good for sharing a philosophy that you’re devoted to or telling a story. Note that this energy is focused but not intense – the vibe is bright and confident. 

These are repeat aspects:

  • Jun 21st: Mercury in Leo trine Vesta Rx in Sagittarius (22 deg) 
  • Jul 31st: Mercury Rx in Leo trine Vesta Rx in Sagittarius (22 deg)
  • Aug 18th: Mercury Rx in Leo sextile Venus in Libra (11 deg)

Mars/Ceres is motivated nurturing. Nurturing that means business. Focused actions drive the care and feeding of little things (no detail is missed). This is nurturing that’s aimed at getting something just right, or looking after someone for their own good. Not particularly cuddly but  extremely effective. 

So today is a good mix of bright, beautiful words and down-to-earth actions (Ceres is in Mercury-ruled Virgo). Big talk is easily followed by real efforts. This brings to mind a stern but caring nurse who distracts her patient with lovely stories while she dispenses medicine. 

 

Funeral

We’re going to a funeral tomorrow.  I’m sorry to say, but I’m pretty sure there will be a lot more funerals to go to, in the near future. It made me think of this Scorpio I used to know. She … Read More…
