  • Sun in Scorpio square the Nodes in Aquarius/Leo: 19 deg
  • Pluto conjunct Juno in Capricorn: 17 deg

Saturn/Uranus

Today we see the last of three trines between Saturn and Uranus. Saturn gives form to Uranus’ changes, and Uranus ensures that Saturn’s structure will not be too rigid. Here is the calculated risk, or individuality supported by the rules. You can build something new while maintaining stability in the midst of disruption. Fire signs means this is about looking ahead, creating and having hope for the future. 

In the early hours of this morning (from roughly 1:00 am to 7:00 am EST) the Leo Moon will trine Saturn and Uranus, creating a Grand Fire Trine. This is the ultimate circuit of hot potential, ready to be made real (Saturn). But even if you’re not up at the crack of the dawn, you can still benefit all day from Saturn/Uranus. 

The previous trines occurred on December 24th, 2016 (20 deg) and May 19th, 2017 (26 deg). 

Sun Square The Nodes

The Sun squaring the Nodes may present a challenge. The Sun rules the Leo North Node, and that’s your path forward – something is ready to be created, brought into the light and empowered. But first, a Scorpio issue needs to be confronted; a secret, taboo or dark truth is demanding your attention.

The Aquarius South Node tells us a bit more, since you always progress from the South to the North Node. Something on the fringe (maybe you) – the outsider, the disruption. It’s ready for a place in the centre. Uranus (ruler of the South Node) is getting help from Saturn, so all you need to do is put the chaotic event/rebellious energy into context. Apply some rules to it. Yes, it’s time to come in out of the cold and work with the existing structure.

Part of this process will involve diving in and confronting what’s in the shadows (Scorpio), before you can step into the sunlight. Maybe this is what you never wanted to admit, or what you don’t want anyone to see. It might be easier to remain detached (Aquarius). Scorpio’s absolute commitment to going all the way down and getting dirty means there will be no ironic distance allowed. But if you take the easy way, you’ll miss out on today’s full benefits. 

Then again, maybe Scorpio is where you’re stuck. If you’re currently wallowing in the sludge of an obsession or self-destructive habit, it’s time to look up and out. There’s a place down the road (called the Leo North Node) where you can be proud of yoursel. It’s where you have a purpose, because you’ll be creating something that makes you feel good. But you have to want to go there. 

Pluto/Juno

Finally, Pluto (ruler of Scorpio) conjoins Juno in Capricorn (ruled by Saturn) and indicates a partnership transformation. Here is the “death” of an old agreement/commitment. Or, the permanent transformation of a partner. Depending on your individual scenario, this could be an ending or evolution that leads to a stronger, more passionate union. Saturn’s dance with Uranus hints at hopeful progress, as long as you don’t stubbornly avoid any changes that make you uncomfortable. 

Overall, today is a good day. You’ve got that square to the Nodes and Saturn is prominent. But, he’s making a harmonious aspect. That means you have manifestation power at your fingertips. You can focus and work to make something real, and it shouldn’t feel like a struggle.

You can create your future. 

 

November 2nd, 2017: Painful Limits

  • Saturn in Sagittarius square Chiron Rx in Pisces: 24 deg
  • Mercury in Scorpio trine Chiron Rx in Pisces: 24 deg
  • Mercury in Scorpio inconjunct Uranus Rx in Aries: 25 deg

Saturn in Sag makes the last of three squares to Chiron. Since December 28th, 2016 and April 30th, 2017, Saturn has urged you to confront the wound with maturity. Limits are triggering vulnerabilities, but Saturn always demands that you do the work. And Chiron is about acknowledging what hurts. 

This is not an aspect of magical healing. Chiron’s “Wounded Healer” moniker does not indicate that the wound vanishes, only that you learn to live with it. And in this case, part of your task may involve accepting limits. This is what you must work with, no matter how unpleasant. 

Mercury/Chiron can help with deeply honest explorations of the problem. Digging into the issue and learning everything you can. Conversation is encouraged, but pick your audience carefully. This is not surface small talk; it’s an unedited reveal of what you’re afraid or ashamed of. Only a certain type of person can listen to this and truly offer unconditional compassion. And this aspect suggests there is someone ready to hear your confession. Or maybe you’re the one who’ll be listening. 

Mercury’s inconjunct to Uranus indicates the words/discoveries will be a bit of a shock. This won’t be enough to undermine the positive potential of the Mercury/Chiron trine, but be prepared for a jolt when you reveal/learn the truth. 

October 11th, 2017: Lilith Versus The Virgin

Angelo Caroselli

  • Venus in Virgo inconjunct Uranus Rx in Aries: 26 degrees
  • Venus in Virgo square Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius: 26 degrees
  • Uranus Rx in Aries trine Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius: 26 degrees
  • Mars in Virgo square Saturn in Sagittarius: 22 degrees

BML is agitating (in all her outcast glory) with an enabling trine to Uranus. This aspect encourages taboo and disruptive women’s issues – freedom for whatever makes the patriarchy and polite society uncomfortable.  

And this energy will be at odds with polite society, due to the square between Venus and Lilith. Specifically, Virgo’s ultra-correct expression of female energy. Here is the clichéd good girl/bad girl dichotomy – Virgo’s purity versus Sagittarius’ wildness. And Uranus will make things difficult for poor Venus, as he jolts her with panicky reminders that this scenario is messy. 

The above could manifest as an internal struggle: you’re stuck between the obligation to be “good” versus rabidly honest. Or, someone may play the Venus role, with you as Lilith (or vice versa). Both sides have merit. Venus asks why BML insists on ignoring certain facts in her lust to be recognized. Parts of the real story (the dry but important parts) may be glossed over. Lilith asks why Venus is so insanely critical, neurotic and repressive. Why is it unclean to break the rules?

Mars will be zero help. He’s locked in a battle with Saturn – restricted actions, repressed anger and oppressive responsibilities. 

Overall, today’s vibe is clamped down and judgemental. Something/someone is struggling to come out, but there will be a host of rules, picky details and critiques to navigate. As oppressive as those rules and details will be, they cannot be ignored. There’s work (Mars/Saturn) to do, even if you want to rebel. 

October 3rd, 2017: A Mixed Day For Relationships

  • Venus in Virgo trine Pluto in Capricorn: 16 degrees
  • Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius square Chiron Rx in Pisces: 25 degrees
  • Mercury in Libra square Juno in Capricorn: 6 degrees

Pluto strengthens Venus’ standards. Relationships, finances and self-esteem will benefit from attention to detail and a desire for the best. Pluto can intensify Virgo’s perfectionism, even with the harmonious trine. This shouldn’t be a problem unless you’re not prepared to make the healthiest choice for yourself. 

BML/Chiron suggests that the taboo sexual/woman’s issue will uncover a raw patch. This square can hi-light the wound of the woman on the fringes, or the pain of sexual exploitation. Lilith in Sag pushes the boundaries of what’s acceptable, while drawing everyone’s attention to those expanding boundaries. The Chiron square doesn’t mean this is wrong, but it won’t be easy to step out of line or do what a woman “shouldn’t” do.

Mercury/Juno can trigger conflict about relationship rules or the mutual understanding of commitment. A partnership agreement could hit a snag, with more discussion needed. 

This is a mixed day for relationships. Use the Pluto trine to enable an improvement by embracing honesty, practicality and complete acceptance of your current reality.
