  • Sun in Gemini trine the Aquarius South Node/sextile the Leo North Node: 26 degrees
  • Neptune in Pisces stations Rx: 14 degrees
  • Neptune Rx in Pisces sextile Juno in Capricorn: 14 degrees

The Sun aspecting the Nodes enables progress. Ideas/communication are the vehicles that allow you to work with what’s on the fringe (Aquarius). Choose (Gemini) to bring it into the centre (Leo North Node – ruled by the Sun). Make it your centre, or put it in the spotlight. Draw attention and passion to what you’ve been detached from. 

This influence is very subtle. You may not feel it at all, unless you have something in your natal chart at 26 degrees Leo, Aquarius or Gemini. 

Neptune Rx is another easy-to-miss influence. Yet it’s significant, although you may not realize what’s happening until it’s over. As Neptune backtracks from 14 to 11 degrees Pisces (stationing direct on November 22nd) dissolution, disillusionment and questions of belief will intensify. The goal is to release lies, illusions and limits. Think of this Rx as an intensified wave – what remains after it’s passed will be the truth. 

Neptune Rx will make a harmonious sextile to Juno Rx in Capricorn. Two retrogrades strongly point to a review. In this case, it could be about the status of a partnership agreement or commitment. But a sextile from Neptune is so gentle, and this aspect is actually part of a larger influence. Neptune first made a sextile to Juno on March 21st, and will do so again, on October 24th (when Juno is direct). So this has been gradually developing since March 21st – a very subtle expansion of the limits/rules in a partnership. The review could manifest as questions you didn’t realize you had – going back to reconsider. But this should be positive, as the questions will simplify existing issues.

Yes, Neptune is about simplification. What’s false or invalid is taken away (Neptune is associated with loss). You release useless restrictions or guilt. Sometimes you have to experience an illusion, first. But eventually, that bubble bursts. In the end, all that’s left is the truth. 

Neptune Rx is a concentrated form of simplification.

June 15th, 2017: Saturn Retrograde Opposes the Gemini Sun

  • Sun opposite Saturn Rx in Sagittarius: 24 degrees

This is about more than limits; it’s the midpoint of Saturn’s Rx transit. There should be an enhanced understanding of why you’re being limited, or what you have to choose, or what responsibilities remain. If Saturn Rx has brought you delays, this aspect should bring you clarity (but not an end to the delays – yet). 

Saturn will station direct on August 25th.

This opposition forms the spine of the Kite I discussed here. There’s opportunity in restriction – Saturn’s limits will provide the structure that allows you to focus the energy of the Grand Fire Trine (made of up Saturn, Uranus in Aries and the Leo North Node). What can you do with Fire? It gives you the courage to create. It says “You can do this.” It implies there’s more to come – something to look forward to. But sometimes you need to focus, first. Sometimes you need defined choices that force you to look in one direction. That’s where you pour all your energy and make use of the Fire potential.
