Mars enters Fixed Earth sign Taurus on February 14th. Actions, anger, sexual energy and initiative become focused on survival – what’s real and most valuable.

This is a deliberate placement for Mars. It’s about doing what needs to be done in order to survive and thrive. Momentum can slow which will allow you to carefully consider your next move. This is not about impulse or risk – don’t try to rush or push a situation faster/further than it wants to go. Mars in Taurus is patient and focused on long-term gain. This is a builder’s energy – many actors known for their amazing physiques have natal Mars in Taurus.

Consider what you can build during this transit. Don’t expect quick results, but imagine what you could accomplish if you focused your energy in the same direction, day after day? Taurus is about routine, and this is the building block of all great accomplishments.

This transit is excellent for looking out for yourself in a financial or emotional situation. It can also be an intensely sensual and indulgent influence as physicality and comfort are emphasized. Mars in Taurus can be basic – if it feels good it’s a yes and if it doesn’t feel good it’s a no. Pay attention to what feels pleasurable/secure. Watch for physical reactions that tell you if a scenario is positive or not – trust your body.

Here are the aspects Mars in Taurus will make:

  • Feb 27th: sextile the Pisces Sun (9 deg)

  • Feb 28th: inconjunct Ceres in Sagittarius (9 deg)

  • Mar 10th: sextile Neptune in Pisces (16 deg)

  • Mar 14th: trine Saturn in Capricorn (18 deg)

  • Mar 20th: trine Pluto in Capricorn (22 deg)

  • Mar 21st: inconjunct Jupiter in Sagittarius (23 deg)

  • Mar 22nd: trine the Capricorn South Node (24 deg)

  • Mar 22nd: sextile Vesta in Pisces (24 deg)

  • Mar 23rd: inconjunct Pallas Rx in Libra (25 deg)

  • Mar 24th: square Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (25 deg)

  • Mar 31st: Gemini ingress

Mercury’s Transit of Pisces and Mercury Retrograde

by  •

Mercury enters Pisces on February 10th, and communication/thoughts become fluid. Logic is less important now than hint and imagination. Intuition is pronounced but so is delusion. The line between truth and lies is blurred.

Mercury in Pisces can open your mind to new possibilities, but whether they’re real or not remains to be seen. This can be a highly creative and empathetic transit – depending on how sensitive you are, you may have trouble differentiating between your thoughts and their thoughts. Strengthen your mental boundaries- if you already pick up on what others are thinking, this transit can emphasize that spongelike tendency.

The story will shift several times during this transit, especially since Mercury will station Rx at 29 deg Pisces. Mercury will make it all the way to the final degree and then reverse, suggesting that a conclusion will almost be reached. But then, you’ll have to look again, ask questions or look behind the veil. Mercury Rx in Pisces can be very slippery – details will be lost and decisions will not be concrete. If you can, wait until Mercury stations direct before you agree or sign. Much of what you first learn may be false or misleading.

Here are the aspects Mercury in Pisces will make:

  • Feb 13th: square Ceres in Sagittarius (5 deg)

  • Feb 13th: conjunct Vesta (6 deg)

  • Feb 19th: conjunct Neptune (15 deg)

  • Feb 19th: sextile Saturn in Capricorn (16 deg)

  • Feb 22nd: square Jupiter in Sagittarius (21 deg)

  • Feb 23rd: sextile Pluto in Capricorn (22 deg)

  • Feb 26th: trine the Cancer North Node (25 deg)

  • Mar 2nd: inconjunct Pallas Rx in Libra (28 deg)

  • Mar 5th: stations Rx (29 deg)

  • Mar 10th: inconjunct Pallas Rx in Libra (27 deg)

  • Mar 14th: trine the Cancer North Node (24 deg)

  • Mar 14th: conjunct the Sun (24 deg)

  • Mar 15th: square Jupiter in Sagittarius (23 deg)

  • Mar 16th: sextile Pluto in Capricorn (22 deg)

  • Mar 17th: conjunct Vesta (21 deg)

  • Mar 17th: sextile Mars in Taurus (21 deg)

  • Mar 28th: stations direct (16 deg)

  • Apr 2nd: conjunct Neptune (17 deg)

  • Apr 7th: sextile Saturn in Capricorn (20 deg)

  • Apr 7th: inconjunct Pallas Rx in Libra (20 deg)

  • Apr 9th: trine the Cancer North Node (22 deg)

  • Aor 10th: sextile Pluto in Capricorn (23 deg)

  • Apr 12th: square Jupiter in Sagittarius (24 deg)

Venus’ Transit of Capricorn: The Beauty of Limits

by  • 

Fernand Khnopff

Fernand Khnopff

Venus enters Capricorn on February 3rd. This Saturn-ruled sign is not a fun placement for Venus, but it does demand quality, focus and maturity for relationships, finances, values and self-esteem.

This is the transit that makes you aware of what you’ve earned or where you’re restricted/lacking. It delivers reality in all Venus-themed situations and demands that you focus on what you want and the associated limits.

Venus in Cap can be ambitious or fearful – it all depends on how you work with the energy. You’ll probably notice more restrictions but this is the opportunity to dig in and do the work. When you run up against a restriction, it emphasizes the true value of what you want or love. When it’s not immediately available you have to earn it.

How much do you want it? How much do you value yourself? Authority is a theme – getting yourself/your money/your boundaries under control.

As an attraction influence, Venus in Capricorn can deliver rewards, but these will only be the results of your hard work and self-respect.

This transit can also deliver judgments: not attractive enough, not successful enough. You may be weighed down by these judgements or you can turn them around and apply them in constructive ways. Are the people you let in good enough for you? Do they respect you? Do you respect yourself?

Boundaries, boundaries, boundaries.

Here are the aspects Venus in Capricorn will make:

  • Feb 5th: sextile Vesta (2 deg Pisces)

  • Feb 17th: sextile Neptune in Pisces (15 deg)

  • Feb 18th: conjunct Saturn (16 deg)

  • Feb 22nd: conjunct Pluto (22 deg)

  • Feb 26th: conjunct the South Node (25 deg)

  • Feb 28th: square Pallas Rx (29 deg Libra)

  • Mar 1st: square Uranus in Aries (29 deg)

  • Mar 1st: Aquarius ingress

Mercury’s Transit of Aquarius: Pure Insight

by  • 

pexels-photo-1274260.jpeg

Mercury enters Aquarius on January 24th, 2019. Information and communication becomes more innovative and more detached. Aquarius is a logical sign but that doesn’t mean it’s dry. This energy is about considering anything that’s surprising, shocking or ahead of its time.

True detachment allows you to see things that others would never consider. Mercury in Aquarius views without judgement and speaks the truth. Sometimes this clarity can be cold, but malice is not an Aquarian trait. What you learn during this brief transit will open your eyes without sweet sentiments, but also without cruelty.

Most people forget that this sign is Fixed. So while this transit can be an eye-opener, opinions are not always liberating. Certain opinions can be stubbornly expressed – an idea about how social issues “should” work may support breaking the current rules, but in its own way it can be just as rigid as the traditions it’s rejecting. Aquarius is full of odd contradictions – rebellious but insistent on a specific path of rebellion. Detached but blind to anything from the past (which can be viewed as useless). Distorted Aquarius refuses to look beyond the set definition of freedom, which of course defeats the entire purpose.

Watch out for any rabid speeches that blindly reject the status quo for no reason other than it’s the status quo.

On the plus side, this is the time to look beyond what you know. Although none of us can ever be truly detached, this energy can present opportunities that will bring you close to this state. You can also experience flashes of pure originality and (perhaps) a glimpse of the future. Aquarius’ association with technology and eccentric things supports cutting-edge, niche interests.

Here are the aspects Mercury in Aquarius will make:

  • Jan 29th: conjunct the Sun (9 deg)

  • Feb 3rd: sexitle Jupiter in Sagittarius (18 deg)

  • Feb 4th: conjunct Black Moon Lilith (20 deg)

  • Feb 7th: sextile Mars in Aries (25 deg)

  • Feb 8th: inconjunct the Cancer North Node (26 deg)

  • Feb 9th: sextile Uranus in Aries (29 deg)

  • Feb 9th: trine Pallas in Libra (29 deg)

  • Feb 10th: square Juno in Taurus (29 deg)

  • Feb 10th: Pisces ingress
