February 22nd, 2019: High Stakes

by  • 

Dante Gabriel Rossetti

Dante Gabriel Rossetti

  • Mercury in Pisces square Jupiter in Sagittarius (21 deg)

  • Venus in Capricorn conjunct Pluto (22 deg)

An intense day with high stakes.

Jupiter stretches Mercury in Pisces’ fluid boundaries so anything seems possible and something can sound very, very good. Imagination is limitless, promises will be grand and visions will look amazing.

Potential does exist here, but there are a couple of cautions. A square to Jupiter always means exaggeration. There’s a crisis of faith and expansion- too much, too big and the details are overlooked. Plus, this is only the first of three squares (due to Mercury’s upcoming Rx). What you learn or say will not be concrete and there will be more questions. The truth will shift and the story (Jupiter) will dissolve and reform.

March 15th (Mercury Rx) and April 12th are the dates of the next two squares, so be prepared for a lengthy process of questions. Promises that you make or receive will require a second and third look. Disbelief and illusion may undermine faith. You’ll have to sort through the shimmering pictures in order to find the truth.

Venus/Pluto adds some heavy energy to the above – Pluto intensifies what you want/love, so money, relationships and values become all or nothing. Deeper resources can be uncovered and amplified value will be assigned to someone.

Venus/Pluto suggests there is a solid core to today’s events -transformative potential via the power of love or the power of realizing your own worth and self-sufficiency. Pluto also reveals the truth behind what you want as you confront rules and responsibilities (Capricorn). This could be a profound commitment; focus on the core potential and remember this as you work through the Mercury/Jupiter squares. Keep reminding yourself of what you really want.

February 20th, 2019: Uranus Opposite Pallas Rx in Libra

  • Uranus in Aries opposite Pallas Rx in Libra (29 deg)

Uranus makes the second of two oppositions to Pallas in Libra. The first occurred on February 7th:

“Uranus…opposite Pallas does suggest that liberating moves will trigger some imbalances. Pallas in Libra’s polite social strategies will be upended, or even abruptly abandoned.

Note that this opposition (a culmination) takes places at 29 degrees (the final degree). This strongly points to the end of a social issue – you may be liberated or surprised, but either way there’s no going back.”

With today’s repeat of this aspect (due to Pallas’ Rx) you’re not exactly going back, but you are reviewing the ending. Does someone need an extra push? Do you need to reconsider your finishing strategy? Sometimes a Uranus aspect occurs twice because someone is unwilling to accept change.

Pallas Rx indicates that certain aspects of a social/relationship situation are not quite complete. There may be a couple of loose ends to ties up, or a slightly different angle is needed as you approach (or say goodbye to) someone.

Consider this as a chance to get it right. But be prepared for someone (even you) to feel that what’s happening is not nice. Libra does not enjoy being jolted and Uranus in Aries has no patience for the social game.

February 18th, 2019: Today’s Reality (Chiron Enters Aries)

by  • 

Pieter Brueghel the Elder

Pieter Brueghel the Elder

  • Venus conjunct Saturn in Capricorn (16 deg)

  • Chiron enters Aries (4:07 am EST)

  • Pallas stations Rx in Libra (29 deg)

Venus/Saturn

Continuing yesterday’s activation of the Saturn/Neptune sextile, Venus conjunct Saturn defines what you have and what you can’t have. Here is the reality of a commitment, restriction or responsibility involving relationships, finances, self-esteem or values. Saturn makes it real and (in combination with Neptune) can also define what you have to give up in order to get what you want. Or, perhaps what you have to give up, period.

Venus/Saturn is the dividing line – the new beginning that separates past from present. This is permanent and official. Make it so.

Chiron into Aries

Chiron returns to Aries for the long haul (it won’t be completely done with this sign until April 2027). For details and dates on this transit, check this post.

Chiron’s return will reactivate issues from its first Aries ingress (April 17th, 2018) but now you’ll be pressing forward with the battle. There’s no turning back. Are you ready to fight with vulnerability as your banner? It’s interesting that the Venus/Saturn conjunction happens on this same day because it really does emphasize that hard line between past and present.

But we also have the Sun’s Pisces ingress today, so there’s a reminder that compassion and forgiveness are important. Be gentle with yourself, even as you step into the fray.

Pallas Rx

Pallas reaches the final degree of Venus-ruled Libra, then she stations Rx. The social or relationship strategy that you thought was complete needs a review. You’ll have to rethink how you relate to others, and the connection to Venus/Saturn is important – there’s a clear reality or rule that means you have to reassess your approach.

Pallas will station direct on May 30th (10 deg Libra) and will exit Libra for Scorpio on August 26th.

February 17th, 2019: Awkward Feelings

  • Waxing Inconjunct between the Cancer Moon and Aquarius Sun (28 deg)

  • Venus in Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces (15 deg)

The Waxing Inconjunct presents a difficult adjustment between objective Aquarius and subjective Cancer. Emotions will interfere with detachment, disrupting a cool vibe. But the messy, uncomfortable mood should not be ignored – pay attention to where you’re vulnerable or insecure. These awkward feelings need to be attended to (before you can move forward). If you can still maintain a bit of objectivity, even better.

Venus activates the first part of the Saturn/Neptune sextile. She will conjoin Saturn tomorrow, but today is a gentle reminder that there’s more to what you want than rules, status or work. Remembering that Saturn/Neptune is about making a small sacrifice in order to manifest (Saturn) a dream (Neptune) today’s aspect can gently widen your awareness. Tune into the compassionate or spiritual undertones in a material issue or formal commitment.

February 16th, 2019: Parental Dynamics

  • Moon in Cancer trine Mercury in Pisces (10 deg)

  • Moon in Cancer opposite Venus in Capricorn (14 deg)

  • Moon in Cancer trine Neptune in Pisces (15 deg)

  • Moon in Cancer opposite Saturn in Capricorn (16 deg)

  • Moon in Cancer opposite Pluto in Capricorn (22 deg)

The Cancer Moon makes some difficult oppositions today. Moon/Venus is not so bad – the need for security/hugs may be emphasized but not quite met because the desire for status/control runs counter to what’s needed. But the opposition to Saturn and Pluto can be quite tense, as restrictions suggest you won’t get what you need but there will be a dramatic intensification of those needs.

Pluto opposite the Moon suggests a fear of loss – the powerful surge that threatens to sweep away what you’ve been clinging to. But the opposition to Saturn says that you need to be self-sufficient. At this point in time, you are the only one who can provide for yourself. Note that Moon/Saturn is a strong parental signature; watch for Mother/Father issues to pop up.

The mood may swing from profoundly needy to hurt and helpless if you give others power over your feelings. Something bigger than you may indeed trigger a loss (or fear of loss) – focus on your inner security and self-care rather than fighting what you can’t control.

The Moon does make a couple of smooth trines. Moon/Mercury helps you put needs into words – the formless sense is given a voice. Identify what makes you feel safe, then allow it to expand as Moon/Neptune reminds you that it’s not personal. Yes, Neptune is transpersonal and while it can increase sensitivity, if you tune into the undercurrent you’ll realize that there’s something more/bigger out there. Maybe others feel as you do, or perhaps you can look beyond your immediate situation and see that the universe/higher power/bigger picture/glass of wine…whatever…reminds you to take a step back and release.

Exhale and look after yourself.

February 13th, 2019: Burning

  • Mercury in Pisces square Ceres in Sagittarius (5 deg)

  • Mercury in Pisces conjunct Vesta (5 deg)

  • Mars in Aries conjunct Uranus (29 deg)

  • Mars in Aries opposite Pallas in Libra (29 deg)

Mercury/Vesta

The Mercury/Vesta conjunction activates yesterday’s Vesta/Ceres square.

“Vesta in Pisces wants to withdraw and contemplate while Ceres in Sag wants to overwhelm with expansive care and protection. Vesta in Pisces is pure and spiritual (or magical) while Ceres in Sag can trample over sensitivities in the rush to nurture (and the rush to do what’s best).”

Mercury/Vesta indicates absolute focus on a spiritual idea or a dream – gazing at what can’t be fully seen or devoting yourself to a compassionate/ethereal concept. Meditating on the whisper. The square to Ceres suggests this information will clash with expansive (and loud) attempts at nurturing. Someone may be saying “No” to caring efforts or disagreeing with a philosophy of mothering. Basically, yesterday’s tension is put into words as the quiet voice disagrees with the bold proclamation of nurturing.

Mars/Uranus

The Mars/Uranus conjunction in the final degree of Aries indicates a last chance to break away, fight or escape. This volatile energy demands freedom to act but it’s easy to get carried away and take unwise risks.

Something needs to end (or be ignited) but remember that this energy can be accident-prone if mishandled. Impulse control is nonexistent. The opposition to Pallas suggests sudden actions will disrupt a social or relationship strategy. There may be impatience with the polite approach or a powerful desire to burn through the niceties and assert the truth/your will.

There’s potential for positive and negative here. Much depends on what’s being burnt away. Carefully consider what you’re asserting and why. Is it really necessary to burn that bridge? It might be, but know that what you set fire to will be gone for good – even if you’re igniting a new beginning, the fuel will be artifacts from the past.

Combined with Mercury/Vesta’s focus, we have an interesting mix of hot and cool. Calm and agitated. Actions are incendiary but thoughts and words can help you see beyond the heat or anger. Pay attention to the quiet voice – what’s it saying?
