  • Venus in Pisces square Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (24 deg)

Relationships, finances and values are inflated with the Jupiter square. Venus in Pisces’ fluid boundaries are pushed to the point of exaggeration, so there will be great hopes for something you want or love. Venus in Pisces transcends reality and Jupiter is the great hope that elevates it even further.

This energy can have a euphoric feel – you may feel like giving it all away in a rush of unconditional love or throwing yourself into something because it looks magical. Too, you may have the restless urge for more as you crave something/someone that’s above your usual situation. There’s potential for great beauty and compassion, but Jupiter can make the vibe rather insistent – “no” is a word that’s compatible with this energy.

Consider the potential (yes, you can attract more) but be cautious about overdoing it. Check your expectations regarding other people – the promise may not add up to the reality.

April 14th, 2019: Grand Fire Trine

  • Waxing Trine between the Leo Moon and Aries Sun (24 deg)

  • Moon in Leo trine Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (24 deg)

  • Sun in Aries trine Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (24 deg)

The Waxing Trine integrates pride with courage, creativity with initiative. Momentum and confidence will carry you forward towards something promising, and this is boosted by the Sun and Moon’s trines to Jupiter. Jupiter adds expansion and optimism while creating a Grand Fire Trine – a harmonious circuit of energy that enables an easy flow.

Even though Jupiter is Rx, this can still be quite beneficial. The Rx status may concentrate expansion in one area or it may suggest a second chance at a previous opportunity. Even if you’re slowing down a bit, the Grand Trine indicates that you can work an opportunity to the max.

There’s something growing which involves hope for the future. Roll with the events that occur (there should be a pull in one direction) and make the most of this.

This energy favours increase, action, public attention and ambition. Jupiter Rx means it’s not so much about moving into a brand new area – you’re making the most of what’s already here or where you’ve been before. But you’re still moving ahead. And the key (as with any Grand Trine) is that you’re following the path of least resistance.

March 15th, 2019: The Way Forward

by  •

  • Pisces Sun trine Cancer North Node (24 deg)

  • Mercury Rx in Pisces square Jupiter in Sagittarius (23 deg)

Continuing yesterday’s influence (Mercury Rx trine the North Node) Sun/North Node can be seen as a spotlight that illuminates the way ahead (the North Node is the future). Watch for a sense of vitality that encourages you to keep heading in the direction that feels (Cancer) good/satisfying. You may be a bit more vulnerable (but not to the point where you’re unsafe) and there’s a difference between accessing feelings in a healthy manner versus making yourself a victim. Pisces and Cancer together is about empathy and tuning into what’s behind the hard shell.

Mercury Rx/Jupiter can be the repeat of a promise, big idea or hope from February 22nd. Now you’re questioning the details of the big opportunity and they’re shifting or fading. Remember that a square to Jupiter means exaggeration, so what you hear/learn will not be completely in line with what’s possible. That’s not to say it’s impossible, just that you need to be savvy about this.

Big words need to be analyzed until you get to the truth is (which will be much smaller than what you currently know).

This is the second of three squares, so it’s not over yet. Don’t get discouraged if questions come up – this potential may take a bit longer to realize. In some cases, this could be a second chance at an optimistic vision. Either way, know that the story is still not clear, and that’s ok – it’s not meant to be (yet). Yesterday and today’s aspects to the North Node insist that you’re still moving in the right direction.

Overall, despite the questions, today’s energy hints that something better is coming.

And it is!

March 14th, 2019: Take Action

  • First Quarter Square between the Gemini Moon and Pisces Sun (23 deg)

  • Sun conjunct Mercury Rx in Pisces (24 deg)

  • Mercury Rx trine the Cancer North Node (24 deg)

  • Mars in Taurus trine Saturn in Capricorn (18 deg)

First Quarter Square

Here we have a crisis that demands action, but your choices (Gemini) may be vague (Pisces). It will be difficult to pinpoint the correct path and it may feel easier to not choose, or to simply drift along without looking at the facts. Nonetheless, you need to do something and that will require selecting A or B.

The Sun’s inferior conjunction to Mercury Rx (ruler of Gemini) can help, as it marks a point of clarity. This is the middle of Mercury’s retrograde, so something essential will be illuminated. Delays, shifting facts and hazy truths have led you to this point- pay attention to what’s revealed and use it in your First Quarter Square decision.

Mercury Rx trine the North Node means that overall, what you learn (and act on) today can take you in the right direction-towards a place that feels (Cancer) safe, authentic and fully aligned with what you need. This is the second of Mercury’s three trines to the North Node (the first one occurred on Feb 26th) so this is part of an ongoing process.

Note that the inferior conjunction is similar to a “New Moon” influence (it marks a new beginning) and will be connected to the “Full Moon” results of the previous superior Sun/Mercury conjunction from January 29th at 9 deg Aquarius.

Mars/Saturn

Patient actions harmonize with rules and structure. In the Earth signs, this is the ultimate manifestation aspect as what you do can have physical, measurable results. There’s nothing dramatic here – slow and steady is the way to go. Work within the boundaries. Movement may be so slow that you question if any progress is being made, but you’ll know there’s progress if you can see/feel the results. Mars in Taurus favours building material security or working to make something grow.

This is about taking responsibility (Saturn) for what you want. If you don’t act and you don’t commit to the long- term, nothing will happen.

Consider how this relates back to the required action of the First Quarter Square – choose (Gemini) based on what’s revealed (Sun/Mercury), commit to that path then move forward carefully and deliberately.

March 13th, 2019: Exaggerated Potential

by  •

  • Sun in Pisces sextile Pluto in Capricorn (22 deg)

  • Sun in Pisces square Jupiter in Sagittarius (23 deg)

The Sun can bring life to an important potential, but you’ll have to keep an eye on perspective.

Pluto adds intensity to the Pisces Sun’s dream. The vision, vague possibility or belief is given substance as deeper reservoirs of passion and power are accessed. Pluto in Capricorn redefines the rules through intense transformation, or the focus of power. This is what will bring depth to the vision and passion to the belief.

Jupiter will pump things up with excitement and limitless potential as it expands Pisces’ already fluid boundaries. Now we have the BIG dream or EUPHORIC belief. You have Pluto intensity and Jupiter amplification, but a hard aspect to Jupiter always triggers exaggeration. Even if the core is sound, realistic perspective will be lost.

Don’t turn away from this – there’s definitely something to work with. But keep reminding yourself that perspective is everything. This can be very good but it won’t be as magical or limitless as it seems right now. If you can, dial it back a sniff – it will be easy to expect too much.

This influence will continue to develop through March 16th as Mercury Rx in Pisces hits the same degrees.

March 12th, 2019: Juno in Gemini Opposite Ceres

  • Juno in Gemini opposite Ceres in Sagittarius (12 deg)

This aspects suggests disagreements over nurturing (children, food or growth/exploration issues). The agreement itself is not fixed, since Gemini is about multiple choices. So this gives you wiggle room – if one thing doesn’t work, try another.

However, the details (Gemini) of the agreement may be challenged by the actual method of nurturing which involves glossing over the details. One party may insist on a specific method/detail while the other party only wants to deal with the philosophy of nurturing or the ideal of care. Looking at archetypes, the wife (Juno) is at odds with the mother (Ceres).

Still, Gemini and Sag are both communicative, mutable signs. Keep talking and you should arrive at a workable agreement.

March 11th, 2019: A Day of Ease

  • Waxing Sextile between the Taurus Moon and Pisces Sun (21 deg)

  • Venus in Aquarius sextile Ceres in Sagittarius (11 deg)

Taurus’ immediate reality grounds Pisces’ exalted dreams. Vague potentials from the March 6th Pisces New Moon can be integrated with what’s in front of you. Consider how you can move forward, step by step. What are some simple, practical things you can do that will have a physical impact? This is how you give form to the dream or work your way through the confusion.

Venus/Ceres supports open-minded nurturing and expressions of love. There is no possessiveness here – no judgements or restrictions. No fear. Caring for someone or encouraging the growth of a desired potential means opening your eyes to other possibilities and allowing the unexpected to develop.

Overall, today’s sextiles promise easy opportunities to move forward. Nothing dramatic, just some gentle nudges in the right direction.
