May 11th, 2019: Work and Play

  • Taurus Sun trine Saturn Rx in Capricorn (20 deg)

  • First Quarter Square between the Leo Moon and Taurus Sun (21 deg)

Sun/Saturn Rx continues yesterday’s Sun/South Node theme of using rules/structures from the past to strengthen the present. Saturn Rx as South Node ruler tells you there are past obligations to attend to. But the harmonious trine allows you integrate what was into what is. Accept the limit/ending and you’ll see that it enhances your purpose.

But then you’re dealing with the First Quarter Square – a crisis between what’s reliable versus what’s bold or celebratory. That Saturn vibe could make you feel a bit stuck, especially when you’re confronted with a situation that calls for you to step into the spotlight (Leo) or really enjoy what you’ve been pouring your energy into. It’s the tension between work and play, studiousness and flamboyance. It may feel inappropriate or egotistical to celebrate, but shouldn’t you be rewarded for your efforts?

The burdens of the past cannot be ignored, but they are also in the past. Once you attend to them and use them to strengthen your current focus, look ahead towards the glow of promise. Don’t be afraid to step up and claim responsibility for the good stuff as well as the heavy stuff. Leo is ruled by the Sun which bring us back to Taurus – take credit for the security and abundance you’ve created. Enjoy the fruits of your labour (Saturn).

May 10th, 2019: Using the Past to Strengthen the Present

  • Taurus Sun trine the Capricorn South Node (19 deg)

Sometimes you can use the rules/traditions of the past to your advantage.

This aspect suggests tapping into previous structures and using them in a way that comes naturally. Take what’s been proven and use it to strengthen what you know- you can build up existing resources/security. The trine is such an easy aspect that the flow from past to present may be unremarkable, but that doesn’t mean it’s not significant.

This could be as simple as applying certain rules to save money or using old lessons of discipline to fortify your self-esteem. Taurus is not a complicated sign, and this does not have to be a big deal. But it is important.

The Sun also makes a sextile to the Cancer North Node – this aspect is weaker than the trine, which means the main action is between past (SN) and present (the Sun). But the future (NN) is always part of that relationship- how the past and present interact (regarding the build of something solid) can enable your exploration of new and essential emotional areas.

Get stable now so you can move into new territory with confidence.

Another way to look at this – if South to North Node is a direct path from past to future, the Taurus Sun is at the side of that path but it fits naturally with the flow. “Naturally” is the key word – everything should fit together and make sense.

May 9th, 2019: Shadow Behind the Fire

  • Waxing Sextile between the Cancer Moon and Taurus Sun (18 deg)

  • Venus in Aries square Pluto Rx in Capricorn (23 deg)

  • Venus in Aries trine Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (23 deg)

Waxing Sextile

Here is an opportunity to advance the May 4th New Moon beginnings. With a bit of effort, you can nurture a seed or solid beginning so it grows into something comforting, nourishing and emotionally satisfying. No matter what happened during the New Moon, it’s time to move forward using your needs as fuel. Sounds easy enough – what do you really need? But you have to act on this because no one will deliver it to you. Family, childhood or mother may be involved.

Venus

Venus/Pluto is the crisis of want versus power. The compulsive attraction or obsessive drive to get what you want NOW (no matter the cost) has more behind it. On the surface, it looks like pure Aries competition, passion or impulse. But it’s not pure- there are deeper motivations, an urge to maintain power and fear of losing that power.

This is the corner you turn as you confront the shadow behind the desire. You may be dealing with manipulation or you may be trying to “convince” someone to give you what you want/love. Pushing forward, especially when the other party is reluctant, is a red flag.

Jupiter’s trine to Venus can greatly amplify the Pluto-driven compulsion. While there may be a hot opportunity to earn/create/achieve, proceed very carefully – again, check those background motivations. On the other hand, Jupiter can help you get past the square to Pluto if you hook into the bigger perspective – elevate yourself above the fear of loss and look at the undiscovered country that lies ahead. Is there something new to learn or explore? Jupiter/Venus is hopeful and individual freedom is honoured.

Jupiter and Pluto are Rx (retrograde), so you’ve been here before.

May 8th, 2019: Mercury in Taurus Conjunct Uranus

  • Mercury in Taurus conjunct Uranus (3 deg)

Surprising information puts Uranus’ transit of Taurus into focus. An update to a habitual form of security, income or values is put into words, and this may connect back to April 22nd, when the Taurus Sun conjoined Uranus (and first illuminated this issue).

At that time, something grabbed your attention. Now you’re talking about it, hearing about it, or being faced with the cold, clear revelation. Uranus/Mercury is as logical as it gets – information is completely detached from sentiment or tradition. What you need to know now comes out, ready or not.

You may speak up about what’s valuable to you – what you will not compromise on. “Uncompromising” is an important theme with this aspect. You may learn about a new source of something essential. Maybe you discover the true value of something. Whatever comes out will be the absolute truth.

And the value of that is incalculable.

Uranus is the higher octave of Mercury. Transpersonal Uranus takes Mercury’s personal ideas and plugs them into the collective (or to something major that’s outside your control) – big transformations, universal upgrades, revolutions and inspiration are “translated” into a language that relates to your personal situation, via Mercury.

May 7th, 2019: Venus in Aries Square Saturn Rx

  • Venus in Aries square Saturn Rx in Capricorn (20 deg)

Continuing yesterday’s events from Venus’ square to the Nodes, , Venus’ square to the South Node ruler (Saturn) can present specific blocks that restrict the movement of this passionate new issue. There may be a struggle to get what you want as well as an intensified desire to have it (you want what’s being denied).

This is a South Node issue – something from the past must be resolved. An old rule is keeping you in check. You can’t avoid it and there may even be a responsibility that needs to be attended to (the extra work you have to do to get what you want). Perhaps you’re finally confronting an old fear or tradition that says you’re not good enough/you can’t have this/you need to control yourself.

This is a crisis that offers the possibility of breakthrough once you turn the corner. But you’ll have to do the work – moving past a fear can be just as much as work as dealing with a responsibility.
