  • Waxing Trine between the Libra Moon and Gemini Sun (21 deg)

  • Venus in Gemini opposite Ceres Rx in Sagittarius (4 deg)

  • Venus in Gemini square Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (4 deg)

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

The Waxing Trine allows you to blend relationship prompts with choices and new information. Excellent for socializing, sharing with others and making the natural choice regarding social interactions. The exchange of information should move effortlessly and in a balanced way.

The Mars/North Node conjunction adds to the encouragement, as actions based on needs and emotions carry you forward. Stepping away from the past and into an area that’s satisfying and speaks to you on a gut level is emphasized – do not be afraid to do what feels right even if you can’t articulate it.

However, continuing the story from yesterday’s Ceres/BML square, we see Venus in Gemini opposing Ceres and squaring Lilith. Different facets of female energy are at odds – the mother (Ceres) the taboo woman (BML) and the more familiar/typical expression of femininity (Venus). Choices about relationships and/or expressing your female identity are in flux. None of the choices will be easy, as they oppose an area of nurturing and trigger a crisis around undermining or “unacceptable” female sexual energy. Maybe two women or two sides yourself will be involved (Gemini means duality).

And yet, the choices must be (carefully) explored and the options weighed. Venus rules the Libra Moon, so the Waxing Trine can help with this. Choose what comes naturally and go in the direction that seems to be unfolding most easily. You won’t be able to make everyone happy, but that’s not what this is about.

At the same time, keep in mind that Mars over the North Node means you are moving forward. You’re doing it differently this time. Break those old habits.

June 11th, 2019: Ceres Challenges Lilith

  • Ceres Rx in Sagittarius square Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (4 deg)

Ceres is the Great Mother (nurturing) and BML is the dangerous lady/witch/other woman/outcast. When the two form a square, there can be tension between nurturing in an expansive (Sagittarius) way versus sliding (Pisces) around the ideals of nurturing with “taboo” expressions of female sexuality or the exploration of a dream/fantasy that releases you from nurturing.

Lilith is not a typical mother. In her myth, she gave birth to demon children so she sometimes symbolizes a thwarted desire to have children, or the complete rejection of motherhood. She is often associated with abortion and miscarriage. So in today’s aspect, we have Ceres Rx in Sag as the fiery, hopeful area of growth (Rx means you’re revisiting this issue) and BML in Pisces as the cold undercurrent that releases you.

These tensions can play out in various ways, and the crisis of the square (plus Ceres’ Rx status) draws your attention to this. Is there a nurturing/mothering ideal that needs to be released or circumvented? Is your immersion in a fantasy/dangerous attraction undermining an area of growth? Are you escaping or avoiding?

June 10th, 2019: The Crisis of Precision

  • First Quarter Square between the Virgo Moon and Gemini Sun (19 deg)

  • Virgo Moon square Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (19 deg)

  • Sun in Gemini opposite Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius ( 19 deg)

The First Quarter Square involves tense aspects to Jupiter Rx. Specific details challenge hopeful results. While those results (Sun/Jupiter) can deliver a ton of opportunity, you’re encouraged to look closely at hard truths (Virgo Moon) that are emerging. These may be annoying or unpleasant little details that you’d rather not bother with, but if they reveal mistakes you’ll have to take action and make corrections.

Doubts can be raised, but they do not invalidate this opportunity. Note that the Sun is opposing Jupiter after its square to Neptune yesterday, so you’re moving on from vague/confusing issues to a big finish. You just have to pay attention to small corrections that need to made now. Truth versus lies or precision versus carelessness may be themes. The trick is not allowing the details to puncture your hope – make the corrections and then see what you can move forward with.

This is all building to the second Jupiter/Neptune square on June 16th – the crisis of expansion as dreams cause tension with faith or honesty. Jupiter is Rx, so now is the time to ask those questions. If you handle this First Quarter Square correctly, you may have a handle on the slippery Jupiter/Neptune square when it hits.

June 9th, 2019: Confusion Here, Focus There

  • Sun in Gemini square Neptune in Pisces (18 deg)

  • Vesta enters Taurus

Sun/Neptune can blur your focus and scatter your sense of purpose. Choices can multiply beyond what is reasonable, and some or all of what you have to choose from may be an illusion. You could be undermined by what’s happening or you could get caught up in a lie or meaningless distraction.

The best way to handle this influence is to accept that much of what you see and hear will probably be false or completely divorced from reality. If you’re struggling with focus, purpose and ego, today might be a good day to rest and just allow the various options to drift in front of you. Wait to see what sticks and what dissolves.

What can counteract the above is Vesta’s move into grounded Taurus. Vesta is supreme focus and sacred energy. In Taurus, that focus is trained on what’s real and valuable – what you can touch, what works, what’s secure. While Vesta’s obsessive focus can become blinkered in this stubborn sign, for today it’s a nice way to balance out any confusion from Sun/Neptune. If you’re getting lost, pay attention to an area that involves earned money, self-esteem, resources, physical issues or fertility/growth. What’s happening there? What’s non-negotiable and absolutely sacred? That’s your bottom line.

Vesta will have an extended run in Taurus, stationing Rx on Sept 23rd at 27 deg and direct on Dec 29th at 12 deg. 12 to 27 deg Taurus in your chart will be quadrupled underlined – your attention will be driven there, again and again.

She will exit Taurus for Gemini on Mar 21st, 2020.

June 7th, 2019: Painful Words That Need To Be Said

  • Waxing Sextile between the Leo Moon and Gemini Sun (16 deg)

  • Mercury in Cancer sextile Uranus in Taurus (4 deg)

  • Mercury in Cancer square Chiron in Aries (5 deg)

Waxing Sextile

Here we have a gently sparkling energy that encourages you to take pride in your words or go public with your ideas. You can gain favourable attention by communicating, but you have to step into the spotlight and say “Listen to me.” This is not loud and dramatic – consider it as light and playful but worthy of notice.

Mercury

Mercury (ruler of Gemini) starts things off right with a sextile to Uranus – slightly daring/innovative words but nothing too crazy. The freedom to speak out in your comfort zone. But then the square to Chiron, which could make it difficult. You may shrink back from saying your piece because you feel vulnerable. Or, anything that’s said may feel so personal that it hurts, no matter how you put it out there.

Understand that there will be some painful conversations or thoughts today (most likely about past and family). You can’t avoid it, but you can use the energy of the Waning Sextile to forge ahead. Just say it/write it, and use the added nudge from Uranus to say what’s not quite “proper” or put a different twist on it- you have the freedom to articulate and Chiron’s wounds don’t do go away just because you avoid them.
