  • Waning Sextile between the Aries Moon and Gemini Sun (7 deg)

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

The Waning Sextile suggests new impulses can accelerate the flow of information or push you to make a choice. There can be an increased sense of urgency to communicate or check out new facts. This will happen smoothly, so the urgency will happen without pressure – you can even ignore this if you want. However, it would be to your benefit to go with the flow and pay attention to anything new/exciting/passionate that’s grabbed your attention.

Having said that, the Mercury/Neptune square can raise some tricky signals. What’s true and what’s not will be difficult to discern. It may be challenging to focus on one issue or deliver a clear message. While Neptune can encourage you to look at/say more (as it dissolves limits) and this can accelerate the flow of the Waning Sexilte, you want to pay attention to the facts. Make sure that the information is accurate, and don’t succumb to the temptation to blur what you’re not certain about.

Only proceed with what makes sense and what’s clear.

May 28th, 2019: Questions About Nurturing and a New Agreement

  • Gemini Sun opposite Ceres Rx in Sagittarius (7 deg)

  • Juno conjunct the Cancer North Node (18 deg)

  • Neptune in Pisces trine Juno (18 deg)

Sun/Ceres

Choices/details are at odds with the bigger picture of growth or escape. An area that you’re trying to grow (involving education, travel, legal matters, publishing or faith/religion) has reached a tense conclusion that feels unsatisfactory.

Gemini raises questions or draws awareness to the other side of the story. In this case, the story involves mother/child issues or something that you are trying to “mother” in your future – there may be questions about the faith you placed in your mother, or your identity as a mother. Ceres is about the cycle of growth, loss and rebirth, so there is always a sub-theme of letting someone go (especially in Sagittarius, the sign of the explorer).

Pay attention to the questions that are being asked about mother/child or the truth about a nurturing issue. The Gemini/Sag axis always involves truth/lies – what’s the story and what are the facts?

Ceres is Rx (retrograde) so you’re returning to this issue.

Juno

There is also some powerful activity in Cancer, another area of nurturing. Cancer puts the focus squarely on home, family and security. Mother/child is a theme once again, but Ceres’ emphasis on loss is not as pronounced.

Ceres in Sag is about nurturing freedom while Cancer is about creating safety.

Juno (relationship agreements) activates the North Node (path forward) and is supported by Neptune. This is positive for a new relationship agreement that is nurturing, supportive and expansive (Neptune). It hints at an agreement that will continue to grow – unconditional support is involved.

So it appears that the Gemini Sun is illuminating an ending or question about one area of nurturing while another is coming into being. What new agreements are on the horizon? What areas of faith need to be questioned?

May 27th, 2019: Discordant Nurturing

by  •

  • Mars in Cancer inconjunct Ceres Rx in Sagittarius (7 deg)

Mars in Cancer is nurturing actions. Ceres in Sag is the growth and nurturing of something new, adventurous or exotic. The two are incompatible today – actions may be smothering or overcautious, holding you back when you want to explore. And yet, you can’t throw caution to the winds – you still have to be safe.

Mother/child dynamics are strong but discordant. However this is playing out in your life, consider what you have to do (Mars) to be safe and comfortable while still encouraging growth and expansion in a new area. Since Ceres is Rx, this is something you’re revisiting.

  • Mercury in Gemini opposes Ceres Rx in Sagittarius (8 deg)

Choices are at odds with an area of growth. Nurturing areas of travel, education, exploration or faith are being reviewed, and in the process there are more questions. You may have difficulties articulating exactly where you would like to see growth.

Too, a conversation may not deliver the care and encouragement that you need. There could be excessive focus on details when you really just want to spread your wings. In some cases, this opposition can also deliver an answer or decision that’s unfocused or cynical.

Don’t expect to hear or learn exactly what you want, but consider how you can work with the information in front of you. What can you do with the questions that have been raised?

May 24th, 2019: Step Back From What You Want

by  •

  • Moon in Aquarius trine Mercury in Gemini (6 deg)

  • Moon in Aquarius square Venus in Taurus (11 deg)

Open and detached communication can unfold smoothly with the Moon/Mercury trine. Step back from the choices and you’ll discover some new and interesting angles. Perhaps there are more choices than you realized. Excellent for communicating unconventional ideas or connecting with odd, inspirational people.

However, Moon/Venus suggests some discord between this detachment versus solid, predictable manifestations of what you want. The tension between materialism/possessiveness versus freedom can trigger insecurities and corresponding intensified desires.

So the head is on track, but the heart will experience some bumps. When in doubt, talk it out. If someone tells you they need more space, try not to react by tightening your grip. Take a deep breath and view the available options with clear eyes.

May 23rd, 2019: It Hurts But Keep Talking

by  •

  • Waning Trine between the Aquarius Moon and Gemini Sun (2 deg)

  • Sun in Gemini square Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (2 deg)

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

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

Issues from yesterday’s square between Mercury in Gemini and BML continue as the Sun energizes the difficult conversations or mixed messages. Lilith gets the spotlight in a way that illuminates the crisis between taboo women’s issues and hard choices. Perhaps no option seems favourable, or you’re torn between keeping things light versus acknowledging the dark issue that oozes between the lines.

The Waning Trine can help – this is an aspect of sharing and understanding. An open minded, somewhat detached approach can facilitate cooperation – others will respond favourably to potentially disruptive info if you deliver it cooly and calmly. Give them the option to disagree.

Mars/Chiron adds another twist, as actions/anger/sexuality trigger painful moments. Feelings of vulnerability can be particularly intense, and it will be difficult to not make the wrong move. It will seem like everyone (including you) is easily bruised. Fortunately, Mercury is also aspecting Chiron, but it’s making an easy sextile. Talk about what hurts; keep it light, explore multiple solutions, but keep talking and asking questions.

This is also an encouraging aspect for the squares to BML, suggesting that yesterday’s difficult messages can be sorted with a mix of logic and empathy. You’re touching on what hurts and looking at the facts, but you’re not pressing down on it.

May 22nd, 2019: Mixed Messages and Forward Movement

  • Mercury in Gemini square Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (2 deg)

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

  • Neptune in Pisces trine the Cancer North Node (18 deg)

Mercury/BML

There may be misinformation about sexual issues or gossip about the other woman/unacceptable woman. There will be a multiple sides to her story, which can be confusing. Perhaps you’re having trouble focusing on a BML issue (a destructive attraction or taboo subject) – are you avoiding a truth or spinning distracting lies?

Mars/Uranus

Here is the gentle nudge forward. Uranus in Taurus’ major update of habits/resources/values can help you act on a nurturing or family matter. It’s time to take action and initiate changes, but you don’t have to move abruptly or take big risks. Slow and steady as you step into new territory.

Neptune/North Node

Continuing the forward theme, the Cancer North Node is activated by release, forgiveness, acceptance or imagination. If you open yourself up to an ending or new experience, you may feel a gentle pull towards something that feels right. “Feel” is the key word, because the Cancer North Node is about what resonates emotionally.

May 19th, 2019: Black Moon Lilith and Mother

  • Moon in Sagittarius square Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (1 deg)

  • Moon in Sagittarius trine Chiron in Aries (4 deg)

  • Moon in Sagittarius conjunct Ceres Rx (9 deg)

The Moon’s square to BML hi-lights tension between the urge to enthusiastically move forward versus darker, quieter currents of taboo energy. The Moon and Lilith are both female archetypes, but the familiar Moon is mother/comfort and Lilith is the outcast or unacceptable woman. In Pisces, an uncomfortable issue (involving women’s sexuality) seeps into the day. It can undermine optimism and growth if you become lost in it, but it cannot be ignored.

The Moon’s trine to Chiron and conjunction with Ceres (mother’s nurturing) offer a solution- deal with the pain (Chiron) by tapping into your courage and acceptance of vulnerability/fear. You can do this with hope. Ceres in Sag is about nurturing future growth and faith – the Great Mother opens her arms and encourages exploration. You’re not glossing over the dark stuff, but you don’t have to drown in it, either.

There’s something to look forward to on the horizon.

May 18th, 2019: Not A Superficial Day

  • Mercury in Taurus trine Pluto Rx in Capricorn (23 deg)

  • Venus conjunct Uranus in Taurus (3 deg)

  • Mars in Cancer trine Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (1 deg)

Mercury/Pluto

Mercury/Pluto is powerful, fixed words. Opinions feel like life (Taurus) or death (Pluto), but the harmonious trine ensures they are delivered in a palatable manner. Excellent if you have something crucial to say but you don’t want to alienate others with your intensity. Also good for digging beneath the surface of a seemingly simple issue and discovering something of greater value.

Words are magnetic because of their calm (Taurus) but intense message that slips under your skin before you know it (trine).

Venus/Uranus

Venus/Uranus delivers a sweet or shocking surprise, depending on how you feel about the disruption of financial or relationship habits. This can manifest as an unexpected new attraction that suddenly feels essential, an unusual new source of income or liberated expression of values. Something odd may appear beautiful, and something beautiful may suddenly not matter.

Not everyone will agree with what manifests, but you can bet it’s honest and a significant update from what you’re accustomed to.

Venus rules Taurus, so we can this aspect as the distilled essence of the entire transit. Venus/Uranus in Taurus is new values. The existing value of something can be completely blown away or clarified.

Wondering how Uranus’ transit of Taurus might impact you? I’ve written something that you can purchase and download here.

Mars/Lilith

Mars/BML empowers Lilith’s mystical, magical or delusional transit. Mars in Cancer is anger/initiative motivated by feelings (possibly protective or nurturing). In a harmonious trine to the Dark Lady, there can be a push to move into dangerously vague territory or a push to protect those on the outside who cannot protect themselves. Perhaps you feel the urge to nurture that part of yourself that was never accepted.

Cancer is the mother/child but BML is the outsider who was shut out from the family. With this aspect, nurturing actions create a resonance that allow you to come to terms with what was denied/ripped away. BML is associated with abortion, miscarriage or conflicted feelings about motherhood. Consider how certain empathetic actions might address these issues.

Lilith in Pisces can gently release deep pools of anger and pain connected to being shunned because of “unacceptable” expressions of female power and sexuality.
