Venus in Aries: Cy Twombly
“It’s more like I’m having an experience than making a picture.” — Cy Twombly Cy Twombly’s work is unmistakable: giant scribbles, smudges, words and phrases crash together across vast stretches of white. They look as if they’ve been made in an instant, a flash, a dash, a moment of possession — a child’s response to the world. Yet the world to which Twombly responds is adult and intellectual. He chose to live in the glorious encrustation of Rome where he could have direct experience every day of deep Western culture. His knowledge of myth and history was profound. So why did he […]

Mars in Aquarius, Moon in Cancer Compatibility
Mars in Aquarius may be too “out there” for Moon in Cancer, but if they do get together, he won’t be scared off by her emotional demands (even if he can’t fully reciprocate).
May 19th, 2017: Enjoy What You Have
- Sun in Taurus squares the North Node in Leo/South Node in Aquarius: 28 degrees
- Venus in Aries opposes Jupiter Rx in Libra: 13 degrees
- Mars in Gemini inconjunct Pluto Rx in Capricorn: 19 degrees
The Taurus Sun (ruling the North Node) presents you with a choice. There’s something you’re struggling to preserve or build up, and ideally, it should make you proud (Leo North Node). But a situation from the past, involving disruption or detachment, may tempt you to throw up your hands and walk away. Not so fast – this is the moment where you stand fast and say “Look what I’ve created.” Walk towards the spotlight. Enjoy what you have.
Venus/Jupiter hits the same degree Venus was at when she stationed Rx in Aries (March 4th). This culmination will be based on that date. Results may be big and beautiful, as you receive a massive helping of what you want. But this aspect can also exaggerate Venus themes, so expectations about relationships/money may encourage you to push it too far/spend too much. Nonetheless, any aspect between Venus and Jupiter (especially Jupiter in Venus-ruled Libra) suggests social opportunity – there should be a way to attract more of what you love. Think back to March 4th for a hint about what these results might be.
Mars/Pluto suggests uneven arguments or choices. Mars’ assertiveness is fired up by Pluto, but unconscious factors can trigger actions/anger that end up being far more intense than the situation warrants. Before you choose, consider your true motivation. If you’re on the receiving end of someone’s pushiness, consider that they may not be fully aware of what they’re doing.

May 18th, 2017: Saturn/Uranus Trine
- Saturn Rx in Sagittarius trine Uranus in Aries (26 degrees): evening of May 18th/morning of May 19th depending on time zone
Tonight or early tomorrow morning (depending on where you live) Saturn will perfect his trine to Uranus. Change (Uranus) is given form and focus (Saturn). New (Uranus) rules (Saturn) are implemented.
If you have any planets around 26 degrees of the Cardinal signs, Uranus is currently shaking you up with hard aspects. Saturn is the stabilizer, and the reassurance that you’re not crazy. There really is something you can do with that restless urge or desire for escape. You can turn this into something real, as long as you’re prepared to work (Saturn). And, you have to moderate that initial impulse to do something extreme or risky. Saturn wants you to calm down and look at the opportunity. What can you do with this? Something needs to change, that’s for sure. What’s a sensible approach?
However, note that a trine is about flow – natural progress. Don’t confuse “work” with “force.” If you’re trying to force something to happen, or the change feels wrong, forget it.
This is the second of three Saturn/Uranus trines:
- Dec 24th, 2016: Saturn trine Uranus Rx (20 deg)
- Nov 11th, 2017: Saturn trine Uranus Rx (25 deg)
It’s also part of a current Grand Fire Trine, including the transiting North Node in Leo.
In general, Saturn/Uranus is about measured progress. It’s ideal for edging forward into new territory that makes you uneasy. You can go slow – no one’s rushing you.
