September 27th, 2019: Venus Inconjunct Lilith/Neptune

  • Venus in Libra inconjunct Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (16°)

  • Venus in Libra inconjunct Neptune RX in Pisces (16°)

Venus makes challenging aspects to BML and Neptune. The socially acceptable expression of female energy or relationship impulses (Venus) will have to be adjusted with the magic (Neptune) of the dangerous woman (BML). 

Lilith’s undefined energy can seep unexpectedly into situations: Lilith/ Neptune is the addictive or transcendent version of the other woman/ witch/ prostitute or female rebel. Without allowing this to undermine a relationship or your social balance, you must still consider what slides beneath the social dance.

Lilith/ Neptune is slippery and this conjunction will be exact on September 30th (so what starts today will stretch into the 30th). As this energy builds, consider how it challenges the conventional standards of relating. What is the unspoken side of the woman you know? There may be doubts about what’s unconventional (but liberating) and these will have to be integrated before they weaken your relationships.

Sometimes this energy can manifest as the sneaky or destructive side of flirtation.

September 26th, 2019: Son Opposite Chiron And Mercury Square Pluto

  • Libra Sun opposite Chiron RX in Aries (3°)

  • Mercury in Libra square Pluto RX in a Capricorn (20°)

The theme today is harmony challenged by uncomfortable truths. Don’t expect things to go smoothly, but there will be extreme valueI in the tension.

The Sun illuminates Chiron’s pain or vulnerability but you may experience it through another. The opposition is an aspect of projection and Libra strongly emphasizes protection. So this could involve projected wounds, or seeing your pain reflected in the eyes of another. Social or relationship purposes can be compromised by wounds that are not owned. Feeling like a victim (everyone is out to get you) is a possibility.

On the plus side, there is a chance to access empathy through another’s difficulties. Keep an eye out for unbalanced situations where a wound becomes the main purpose. Consider if there is a way to correct that imbalance by courageously confronting what hurts. Make the switch from victim to warrior.

Note that the Sun conjoined Chiron On March 22 at 1° Aries. This oppositionIs the result of what began around that date.

Mercury/Pluto will add some difficult but valuable undertones to the above. The crisis between socially acceptable words versus dark truths will create pleasant conversations with a sharp or manipulative edge. Pay attention to the tone and how someone’s words make you feel, even if that feeling seems contrary to what they’re saying. This means you’re becoming aware of the passive- aggressive or obscured desire for power/fear of losing power.

Pluto in any aspect to Mercury always reveals rich truths. The darker the truth the richer it is. This can give you more fuel to deal with the Sun/ Chiron opposition. If you stay on your toes and really listen to what’s being said, you’ll gain access to the entire picture; it will be uncomfortable but very fruitful.

September 25th, 2019: Venus Square Saturn And The Nodes

by  •

  • Venus in Libra square Saturn in Capricorn (13°)

  • Venus in Libra Square the Nodes (14°)

Venus square Saturn (ruler of the Capricorn South node) will place restrictions on what you want and love. These restrictions will be rules, obligations or traditions from the past. The pressure to conform or hold back will create an imbalance (Libra). You may feel less attractive or you may not get what you want in a relationship. The exchange of love and affection will be unequal-perhaps one person simply has nothing to give.

But since Venus is squaring the Nodes, those restrictions are pushing you towards a crossroads. You will have to acknowledge what you cannot have while also looking towards the future (Cancer North Node). The future is more emotional, nurturing and giving but it’s not familiar. So even if what you know it is unpleasant, there may be hesitation to move forward. It’s always your choice: you may have to make a decision about a relationship or a situation that impacts your self-esteem. Look at what you can’t have and where your responsibilities lie, and then consider what you can have (it’s ahead of you).

September 24th, 2019: Relationships are Favoured

  • Mercury in Libra inconjunct Neptune RX in Pisces (16°)

  • Mercury in Libra sextile Jupiter in Sagittarius (17°)

  • Venus in Libra sextile Ceres in Sagittarius (11°)

  • Saturn in Capricorn trine Juno in Virgo (13°)

Mercury/Neptune is a caution to balance truth with sensitivity. What’s unspoken or suspected should be honored, but don’t allow it to undermine your objectivity when speaking with others. It can be easy to read too much into what you think the other person is saying. But the more dominant aspect of Mercury/Jupiter should counteract this with a shot of balanced wisdom and optimism. Overall, communication with others will be open minded and inclusive.

Venus/Ceres adds a smooth touch to all relationships. One-on-one exchanges will be nurturing but not smothering. This aspect suggests acceptance and objective empathy for all. This also has a light touch- no one is being forced to conform or stay.

For those who want reassurance, Saturn/Juno ensures the firm commitment. Juno in Virgo is the detailed agreement-nothing is overlooked and there is a shared desire to improve. Saturn nails it down with an official commitment or steadfast rules.

Overall, any one-on-one exchange is favoured today.

September 22nd, 2019: Mercury Square Saturn And the Nodes

  • Mercury in Libra square Saturn in Capricorn (13 deg)

  • Mercury in Libra square the Nodes in Capricorn and Cancer (14 deg)

Mercury/ Saturn is enforced correctness. Rules may restrict your ability to speak openly, forcing you to say the right thing out of fear. This is unbalanced politeness-the strict adherence to what must be said rather than what you want to say. Speaking out of turn will not be tolerated.

Incorporating Mercury’s square to the Nodes, we see that Saturn as ruler of the Capricorn South Node describes authority from the past. But a square to the Nodes means you are at a turning point -somehow you must move forward. This means choosing between the past or future. The Cancer North Node implies energy that is more emotional. So perhaps this is about a choice between speaking “properly” versus saying what you feel. Or, you may need to take responsibility for the consequences of a one- on- one exchange before you can progress to something that’s more nurturing.

Overall, it will be difficult to speak freely. But within those limits there is an important decision. What rules are you still listening to?

September 21st, 2019: Crises and Opportunity

  • Third Quarter Square between the Gemini Moon and Virgo Sun (28 deg)

  • Jupiter in Sagittarius square Neptune Rx in Pisces (16 deg)

The 3rd Quarter Square triggers a crisis between rigid perfection versus flexible choices. The Virgo Sun offers a set way of doing things; routines and solutions are grounded in practical knowledge. The Gemini Moon raises awkward questions- suddenly there are multiple choices and more than one way of being correct. You may want to stick with what works, but it’s time to look at additional options. This is about the tension between precision and flexibility. Is what you know the final word? It might be time to question the diagnosis.

The final Jupiter/ Neptune square also occurs today. Here we have another crisis-Jupiter’s ideals and wisdom versus Neptune’s dreams. Watch for exaggerated hopes and beliefs as both Jupiter and Neptune push the limits (Neptune dissolves and Jupiter expands). You believe there’s more/better or you think you know more.

The previous two squares occurred on January 13th and June 16th, so this is not a new issue. If you’ve been wrestling with the tendency to overdo it or you’ve gotten swept away in an unrealistic belief, this final square will unveil the truth. This can also be your final test of faith.

I should add that Jupiter and Neptune in any aspect can bring a lucky shot of transcendence that lifts you up and over. So within the swirling crisis and delusion there can be a vein of gold. Pay attention to the opportunity that emerges in an unexpected way, even if the surrounding situation is stressful. What new possibilities are you perceiving? Maybe you went too far but this revealed something better. Maybe you believed the false promise but your eyes were opened to a better truth.

Look at what’s expanded in your life. And remember you’re in the Third Quarter Phase- ask those questions.
