Into Autumn

And now the Sun enters Libra, the cardinal sign of autumn. Again we are at the beginning of a season. The equinox is behind us (September 23) and in the North the days will get shorter as we stumble towards the dark of winter. Now, this autumn season is the moment when we weigh and measure the fruit from the vines and the orchards. We see what the season of growth brought forth, and we make plans for the coming months. And these last days of sunshine are some of the most beautiful of the year with long shadows and […]

September 28th, 2018: Chiron Rx in Pisces Sextile Juno

   Jacek Malczewski

  • Chiron Rx in Pisces sextile Juno in Taurus (29 deg)

Chiron’s return to Pisces is bolstered by a hopeful aspect to Juno. Going back to what hurts can involve a solid agreement. Here is quiet support from a partner who has your back, or empathizes with you. There may be no words – just an understanding.

Excellent if you’re trying to heal a relationship, but don’t look for anything dramatic – this aspect depends on a mutual understanding that some things simply need to be released.

This aspect will repeat on November 3rd (at 28 deg) when Juno is Rx, so the process will not be a quick one. Watch for slow, gentle healing and patient acceptance.

Christine Blasey Ford’s Testimony

Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony against US Supreme Court judge nominee is heart-wrenching. I’ve just listened to it. Here is the chart for the start of proceedings this morning in Washington DC. It’s absolutely stuffed with symbolism. Here are just a few of the things that jump out. • Venus in Scorpio is rising. In fact this Venus is stationing to turn retrograde. There she is recalling the deep past. In Scorpio, Venus is uncomfortable because she has to go somewhere dark, but she’s also a warrior, Inanna. • This is an issue of women’s rights, quite simply. Don’t forget that […]

September 27th, 2018: Balance

  • Moon in Taurus inconjunct Sun in Libra (Waning Inconjunct-4 deg)

  • Sun in Libra trine Mars and the South Node in Aquarius (4 deg)

  • Mercury in Libra conjunct Ceres (9 deg)

  • Saturn in Capricorn conjunct Vesta (2 deg)

Waning Inconjunct

The Waning Inconjunct calls for an adjustment to Monday’s Full Moon in Aries. After that challenging culmination, the inconjunct asks you to ground yourself in the moment. Pause, and remind yourself of what you have right now. There may be an urge to keep compromising or comparing, and while you can’t forget about the balance between you and them, it’s important to stabilize yourself. Take stock of your current resources.

Along with the Waning Inconjunct, the Sun’s trines to Mars and the South Node extend the vibe from yesterday’s Mars/South Node conjunction by energizing that issue (from the past) that’s reached a turning point. The goodbye or moment of liberation will be enabled by your social awareness. This is all about relationship dynamics – what needs to be left behind and what you can build on. Use the inconjunct as a reminder of what’s best for you in this situation.

The Taurus Moon will square Mars and the Nodes, which adds extra emphasis to that issue of personal values, resources or security. It will be challenging to remind yourself of what you have and what’s best for you (there may be resistance from others) but that’s exactly what you must do. Your awareness of what you stand for is essential in achieving an effective balance with others.

Nurturing Words

Mercury/Ceres suggests a truly nurturing conversation where one person listens and the other vents. Or, where there’s an equal exchange of caring words. Excellent for any kind of discussion with a counselling vibe, but remember that Libra is an Air sign. This means objectivity. It’s not about intense revelations and intimate confessions – Mercury in Libra can be receptive to anything as long as the delivery is light and there’s room to step back and process what’s being shared.

Absolute Focus

Saturn/Vesta cranks up the focus on a rule, tradition or limit. Vesta’s devotion to an issue is severely defined by Saturn – there’s a sense of unshakable commitment or unblinking concentration. This can be positive or negative, depending on what the focus is.
