June 17th, 2019: Vesta Inconjunct Ceres Rx

  • Vesta in Taurus inconjunct Ceres Rx in Sagittarius (3 deg)

Vesta’s focus on gradual growth clashes with Ceres in Sag’s adventurous growth. Ceres in Sag wants to bloom into a new area while Vesta in Taurus concentrates on what’s familiar.

Ceres is Rx, so you’re returning to this issue (which may involve travel, education, exploration, faith or religion). As you return, you run into something that’s fixed and cautious – resources, security or habits that pull you away from that area of exploration.

Ceres is about mother’s nurturing and cycles of loss and rebirth (in expansive Sag). Taurus is about fertility and stability (Vesta makes this a sacred issue). While these two issues may be at odds, the inconjunct asks that you find a way to make them both work. Ground yourself in what’s sacred as you re-examine what Ceres in Sag has to offer. Consider the common thread between Taurus and Ceres – what two areas of your life involve fertility in a literal or metaphorical sense?

June 16th, 2019: Mercury Opposite Saturn and the Jupiter/Neptune Square

  • Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius square Neptune in Pisces (18 deg)

  • Mercury in Cancer inconjunct Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (18 deg)

  • Mercury in Cancer opposite Saturn Rx in Capricorn (18 deg)

  • Mercury in Cancer trine Neptune in Pisces (18 deg)

The second Jupiter/Neptune square once again confronts you with a crisis between ideals versus dreams. These are both expansive influences, and when they form a tense aspect what’s growing is often too much and not real.

The first square occured on January 13th, but now Jupiter is Rx so you’re revisiting that exaggerated promise – looking closely at the truth behind the beautiful hope. Jupiter Rx can reveal things as you’re pushed to adjust perspective and concentrate your vision in one area.

During the first square, Mercury was in Capricorn and conjoined Saturn (at 12 deg). Now, Mercury is in Cancer and forming an exact opposition to Saturn. So there is a congruent theme of real (Saturn) words (Mercury). What began during the Mercury/Saturn conjunction has reached a conclusion during the second Jupiter/Neptune square. So you’re not totally lost on the sea of illusion. You have this reality-check message; an official document, conversation or understanding. You can choose to ignore it of course and get swept up in the euphoria of the dream (or escape) but you have to admit there’s a current of hard facts running alongside. Information that you’d be wise to attend to.

Now, Mercury does make an inconjunct to Jupiter Rx, so there will be a temptation to grab at what sounds exciting/hopeful without checking the facts. And if the opposition to Saturn is presenting you with a big, fat “No” or severe limits on your speech, it may be really tempting. But it’s not to your benefit to ignore the Saturn opposition- it’s a crucial conclusion that is enforcing your focus. Mercury’s trine to Neptune offers some breathing room if you can exhale, accept the limits as they are and then focus on what you say/write despite the limits.

June 14th saw Mars in Cancer making the same aspects to Saturn, Neptune and Jupiter. What you did then with actions (accept the limits and then move in the direction that felt natural) you’re doing now with words/thoughts. You’re honouring the rules (or ending) while letting your thoughts flow in an alternative direction (the same direction Mars took you). Maybe you’re forgiving or deciding to stop banging your head against that wall.

And all this ties into the truth behind the promise.

Along the Cancer/Capricorn axis we’re dealing with parental dynamics, maturity/helplessness and control versus emotions.

June 15th, 2019: Mercury Conjunct the North Node

  • Mercury in Cancer conjunct the North Node (17 deg)

Keep your eyes open for a key message or messenger. An emotional statement, empathetic observation or information that hits you in the gut are meant to show you the way forward. You may encounter someone who says something that resonates with you personally, whether or not it was for your ears. Or, it could be time to talk openly about family, mother/child issues or your primary needs.

Keeping in mind that Mercury is also opposing the Capricorn South Node, today’s aspect could be somewhat uncomfortable as what you say/hear pushes you away from the rules/traditions of the past and urges you to look at what’s coming up.

June 14th, 2019: Mars in Cancer Opposes Saturn Rx

  • Waxing Inconjunct between the Scorpio Moon and Gemini Sun (23 deg)

  • Mars in Cancer trine Neptune in Pisces (18 deg)

  • Mars in Cancer opposite Saturn Rx in Capricorn (18 deg)

  • Mars in Cancer inconjunct Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (18 deg)

An uneasy day, as the Waxing Inconjunct demands depth in a light situation. While it may be quicker and easier to flip through the information, there’s something beneath the surface that can’t be ignored. One choice or fact needs to be examined more closely for an uncomfortable truth. Before you can progress any further, you need to dip into the deep end.

And Mars is opposing Saturn Rx. This is a tough one, as action/anger/passion is blocked or repressed. Mars in Cancer is the volatile, emotional push and Saturn is the restrictive authority. You could run up against someone who demands you grow up or forces you to stop. An opposition is a culmination, so this could also be a hard ending. Saturn is Rx, so the rule/limit is something you’ve encountered before.

Mars’ inconjunct to Jupiter Rx suggests a struggle to be free (from Saturn). But this aspect is a tense one, so there could be uneven surges of anger or bursts of exaggerated action that quickly fizzle out. Flailing about is not the way to deal with today’s influences.

Mars’ calm trine to Neptune can help, as it suggests a gentle, measured flow of release and acceptance. You’re not crouched in defeat (although you may be tempted to freeze up and curl up). Rather, you take a deep breath, accept that there are certain limits and responsibilities, then focus your energy in a direction where you can move. Mars/Neptune can help you transcend frustration, cruelty and delays if you stop fighting and just go where the current takes you. And Neptune indicates that there is another direction you can flow in -perhaps around that block?

June 13th, 2019: Venus in Gemini Sextile Chiron

  • Venus in Gemini sextile Chiron in Aries (5 deg)

There’s more than one way to deal with the wound, as long as you keep it light. Venus in Gemini is the multi-layered social interaction or new understanding of what’s beautiful. If you open your eyes and talk about what you want (or listen to what they want) you’ll discover empathy for what hurts.

This is a gentle influence – not heavy or emotionally charged. You touch on what hurts and then move away. Perhaps you return from a different angle, then move away again. At the same time, Chiron adds a bit of texture to Venus’ sometimes-superficial approach as the suggestion of awkwardness or fear adds a layer of attraction.

Maybe you can even muster a smile – this does not invalidate the pain.
