March 5th, 2019: Mercury Stations Retrograde

  • Mercury stations Rx (29 deg Pisces)

  • Neptune conjunct Vesta in Pisces (6 deg)

Mercury stations retrograde in the final degree of Pisces. A dream, undefined agreement or meandering conversation that you thought was complete is anything but. There are more layers of truth (or lies) to be revealed as you look closely at the shifting facts.

Mercury Rx in Pisces can push you to search for what’s missing. You may return to a past dream, creative work or unreliable contact. Opinions can dissolve as if they were never there, and the search for an ultimate idea can intensify. This is a time to explore but not decide. A time to search and allow information to emerge, but not to pin anything down (yet). Expect confusion as certain people lie/deny/obfuscate. The truth will come out, but it will be a circuitous process.

Here are the aspects Mercury Rx will make:

  • 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 20th: sextile Saturn in Capricorn (19 deg)

  • Mar 24th: conjunct Neptune (16 deg)

  • Mar 24th: square Juno in Gemini (17 deg)

  • Mar 28th: stations direct (16 deg)

Neptune conjunct Vesta suggests Mercury’s Rx will be part of the search for a higher vision. Vesta is sacred devotion/focus and when combined with Neptune, that focus is trained on what transcends the current limits. So this Mercury Rx is about more than missing facts – the ultimate goal will involve something that’s sacred to you. It may take awhile to get there (there is no direct route through Pisces) but trust that it’s emerging.

Crises of belief are part of the process. What are you doubting? If everything is in flux, know that this is the way it’s meant to be for now. At the same time, keep track of that higher goal – what would you ultimately like to hear? That’s your guiding light.

March 3rd, 2019: Stubborn Challenges

by  • 

pexels-photo-277164.jpeg

  • Moon in Aquarius trine Juno in Gemini (7 deg)

  • Moon in Aquarius sextile Ceres in Sagittarius (10 deg)

  • Moon in Aquarius square Mars in Taurus (11 deg)

The Aquarius Moon starts off with a harmonious trine to Juno, encouraging open-minded choices in relationships and agreements. This is not the time to demand a commitment – Moon in Aquarius is about freedom which supports Juno in Gemini’s flexible choices.

Moon/Ceres then suggests nurturing which supports the exploration of whatever’s new and unusual. Ceres is about mother’s nurturing and nourishment. When it harmonizes with the Moon (the archetype of mother/child) we have a strong focus on nurturing an independent spirit. Growth is achieved by venturing into the unknown.

But the Moon runs into a square with Mars, which will present some bumps in today’s smooth flow. Mars in Taurus is stubborn, habitual actions. In a crisis-aspect to the Moon we have the potential for anger and resentment that’s triggered when independence become threatening.

Expect some challenges; either your freedom will trigger someone or someone’s individuality will conflict with your efforts. Taurus and Aquarius are both Fixed signs, so tension will not be easily diffused. Both parties will dig in and demand that things go their way.

March 2nd, 2019: Venus in Aquarius Sextile Chiron

  • Venus in Aquarius sextile Chiron in Aries (0 deg)

Breaking new ground with relationships, self-image, values or money will help you address insecurities. Venus in Aquarius’ liberation from tradition and the opinions of others can give you the courage to deal with Chiron in Aries’ wound – a sore spot that involves being the first or fighting a battle you don’t want to fight.

Chiron in Aries is about the primal right to exist when there’s pressure to shut down. Chiron sextile Venus suggests a gentle blending of the odd and the painful for a new kind of beauty. Perhaps you attract others because of the “thing” that makes you feel unaccepted. Perhaps you find allies who empathize with your fight.

Today is the day to step forward and connect with the other strange souls, or simply stand by yourself and feel good about that.

March 1st, 2019: Venus in Capricorn Square Uranus

  • Venus in Capricorn square Uranus in Aries (29 deg)

Uranus challenging Venus in the final degrees of their respective signs suggests a crisis that will lead to a significant ending or turn. Venus in Capricorn’s rules about relationships, money and values will be shaken – a commitment could be broken or an impatient burst of freedom could suddenly redefine what you thought you had.

Note that Venus will enter Uranus-ruled Aquarius a few hours after this square, so we can see this crisis as necessary preparation for a move towards independence. This does not mean that everything you’ve built up or defined is worthless, but it does suggest that a radical re- evaluation is necessary. A rule about status, authority or judgement in a Venus-themed issue must be loosened so there’s room for an update.

A square from Uranus can be shocking, and it’s that sensation (the upset, the shock) that’s fuel for change – you have no choice but to look ahead.

February 28th, 2019: Taking Gentle Control

  • Sun in Pisces square Ceres in Sagittarius (9 deg)

  • Waning Sextile between the Pisces Sun and Capricorn Moon (10 deg)

  • Venus in Capricorn square Pallas Rx in Libra (29 deg)

Waxing Sextile

The Sun/Ceres square can illuminate tension around nurturing as Pisces’ release/vagueness clashes with Ceres in Sag’s enthusiastic (and pushy) expressions of care. As more care is offered the situation may become less certain. Too, a discordant truth (or loss of faith) about mothering or nourishment may be revealed.

The Waxing Sextile can provide some help as maturity and commitment (Capricorn) gives form to what’s vague (Pisces). If you’re trying to care for someone or nurture a project/potential and are frustrated by what’s undefined, this sextile encourages you to take control by gently (this is not about lowering the hammer) steering events. Step in as the compassionate parent and do what needs to be done.

Venus/Pallas

Venus/Pallas suggests some relationship tension as rules about partnerships, money or values clash with social strategies. Pallas is in a Venus-ruled sign, but Libra wants everything to be nice and pretty while Venus in Capricorn is all business. Strategies used to appease or obliquely win a battle will not blend with stricter (and more direct) definitions of what the other person wants.

Consider who’s in control and what has greater value: politeness or authority? Pallas’ Rx status is a hint, because this means strategies are currently under revision.

  • Sun in Pisces sextile Mars in Taurus (9 deg)

Sun/Mars presents a gentle boost of initiative. Mars in Taurus is gradual movement and this will ground Pisces’ dreams. It won’t present as a radical surge of “do it” energy, but if you’re conscious of what’s happening you should be able to sense quiet potential.

Good for manifestation if you’re prepared to get real and if you have patience. The confidence to make it happen is based on physical effort and proof.

Look at what you can do right now. What are some practical steps that you can take? Nothing fancy and nothing fast- this is about taking a dream and planting it in the ground. Pisces is the exalted potential that waters the earth and Mars in Taurus expends the effort to make it grow.
