January 14th, 2019: The Challenger

  • First Quarter Square between the Aries Moon and Capricorn Sun (23 deg)

  • Mercury in Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces (14 deg)

The First Quarter Square challenges rules and authority with a shot of something courageous or impulsive. This is a crisis aspect that demands action, which means if control/traditions are challenged by something new, it’s time to step away from what’s defined.

It’s uncomfortable when you have to step outside the lines, especially if you’re the first one doing it. Perhaps the challenge involves fighting against the establishment or someone who’s trying to control you (or who’s always controlled you). “Courage” is the theme here – whether you’re the pioneer or the warrior, your next move might pit you against what’s already been decided. Aries is the upstart and Capricorn is the adult. In this case, the upstart has something valuable to offer. The entire process of antagonism, while unpleasant, is crucial.

Mercury/Neptune is a gentle influence that might not even be felt amidst the tension of the First Quarter Square, but there is a nice opportunity here to take the edge off strict words or rigid ideas. Soften the absolutes with a touch of creativity or empathy. At the same time, your disciplined focus will add structure to a vague but promising idea.

  • Mercury in Capricorn conjunct Saturn (12 deg)

  • Jupiter in Sagittarius square Neptune in Pisces (14 deg)

Jupiter makes the first of three euphoric squares to Neptune. Jupiter expands Neptunes dreams and Neptune dissolves any connection to reality Jupiter might have. 14 deg Sag in your chart is where growth is happening and 14 deg Pisces is where you can glimpse something that transcends all possibilities. There’s magic here.

But add in the tension of the square and you get a crisis of faith (Jupiter) versus disbelief (Neptune), religion (Jupiter) versus spirituality (Neptune) or truth (Jupiter) versus deceit (Neptune). What’s possible versus what’s impossible. And between the two you have friction that prodes you forward, urging you to do something incredible.

The breakthroughs happen when you confront what’s impossible.

This is the aspect of big dreams and everything will be exaggerated. At first, it will feel fantastic as the opportunity seems limitless. But eventually you’ll encounter the comedown or withdrawal.

Still, there’s hope. There is something to work with. Look very carefully at the core potential because there is room for growth. But as the issue expands, keep checking and rechecking that your hopes are in line with reality. if you encounter a crisis of faith, know there’s a reason your faith is being challenged.

This square will reoccur on:

  • June 16th (18 deg, Jupiter Rx)

  • September 21st (17 deg, Neptune Rx)

You’ll be encountering this dream again, so this is only your first shot.

In direct contrast to the above, we have a strict conjunction between Mercury and Saturn. Rules and limits (Saturn) will be clearly identified or communicated (Mercury). You’ll know (or be told) what’s possible and what isn’t. Your focus will be forcefully centered on one issue.

This can ground you as you deal with the Jupiter/Neptune square, because there will be no excuses – what’s real or true will be unmistakable. Use this focus to zero in on what’s possible, and stick with those parameters. If anything involving Jupiter/Neptune falls outside those parameters, question it.

If you manage these energies carefully, today can be a day of significant manifestation.

Interestingly, on June 16th Mercury in Cancer will form a separating oppose to Saturn Rx in Capricorn (18-19 deg) and on September 21st Mercury in Libra will be applying to a square with Saturn (at 12-13 deg). The current conjunction is a new beginning: Mercury/Saturn will clearly define what’s starting. The opposition will deliver results (again, clearly defined) and the square between Mercury in Libra and Saturn will be a final crisis of rules/boundaries versus saying it nicely or glossing over reality. Perhaps some hard questions about a relationship. So this entire Jupiter/Neptune dance will be underscored by some very strict information or parameters on communication. The focus on reality will be continually enforced.

January 12th, 2019: Reliable Relationships

  • Sun in Capricorn trine Juno in Taurus (22 deg)

A stable relationship is energized by commitment, rules and boundaries. Traditions support what you already have with another, and security can be confirmed by following well-defined paths. This aspect is for those who are serious about their partnership and know exactly what they want in a relationship.

This is not a romantic aspect, but it is very reassuring for those who like to know where they stand. There are no illusions here – just what you can see and touch. A business or personal union will move naturally along traditional lines – this is predictable energy. Excellent if you’re looking to confirm an agreement or focus on building something reliable.

January 11th, 2019: Truth and Power

  • Sun in Capricorn conjunct Pluto (20 deg)

  • Moon in Pisces sextile Pluto in Capricorn (20 deg)

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

Sun/Pluto lights up an area of transformation and deep truth. Purpose unites with power, but this is power that comes from an awareness of what’s happening behind or beneath. The shadow is illuminated and how you handle this will dictate your measure of success or fear. Those that avoid the shadow will end up being manipulated by it. Those who confront their own shadow will be unstoppable.

What’s really going on behind the rules? What’s dying or being purged?

Integrating this into the Waxing Sextile, you have an opportunity to do something with what’s revealed. The dream, wish or undefined urge can be given form if unconscious desires and obscured truths are fully realized. Be honest, be brave and dive into what’s really happening. It’s all about the effort you make. .

January 10th, 2019: Precursor to the Jupiter/Neptune Square

  • Moon in Pisces sextile Mercury in Capricorn (8 deg)

  • Moon in Pisces sextile Saturn in Capricorn (12 deg)

  • Moon in Pisces square Jupiter in Sagittarius (13 deg)

  • Moon in Pisces conjunct Neptune (14 deg)

The Pisces Moon starts off on a relatively grounded note as sextiles to Mercury and Saturn keep things stable. Realistic, defined words and boundaries act as anchors to Pisces’ dreams and escapist tendencies. You may begin something with sober intentions.

But the Moon’s square to expansive Jupiter and conjunction with Neptune suggests you’ll quickly forget about the shoulds, as a rush of enthusiasm and fantasy push you past the limits. It will be easy to overdo it or float off on a cloud of something pleasant. Jupiter brings on the good feelings and sense of greatness (it’s all good and possible) while Neptune encourages you to let go, dissolve or forget. Note that the square is a tense aspect, which means Jupiter’s influence will be exaggerated – too much, too hopeful.

No judgements here – sometimes we all need to escape and just feel good. But make certain that anything crucial is completed before the Jupiter square hits (6:48 pm EST).

This Moon will briefly activate the applying Jupiter/Neptune square while reminding you (via Mercury and Saturn) that there are still rules to follow if you want to manifest something.

I discussed this in the most recent horoscopes:

“…on January 13th, Jupiter in Sagittarius makes the first of three squares this year to Neptune in Pisces. This is the soap bubble influence – beautiful, buoyant possibilities. Jupiter expands by increasing hopes and opportunities while Neptune expands by dissolving boundaries. But when they form a hard square, there is tension between hope and belief, truth and dreams. This square can introduce a lot but much of it may not be real.

Since the Mercury/Saturn conjunction occurs on the same day, pay attention to what you know rather than what you hope for. Jupiter/Neptune brings great creative potential that can, if handled with caution, manifest into something beautiful.”
