December 19th, 2019: Mercury Square Neptune, Mars Sextile Saturn

Mercury square Neptune is a crisis between the story/sales pitch versus the illusion or belief. Neptune blurs the facts and creates disbelief, so the story is exaggerated and suspect. This aspect can be about outright lies or seeing something that is not real (the illusion).
If you find yourself questioning a “truth,” keep asking – the initial words have been distorted. If what you see looks grand and expansive, treat it as a nice picture but don’t rely on it.
Fortunately, Mars/Saturn adds a bit of reality to help with the above. Intensive, authentic actions (Mars) will be grounded and focused by the rules. Slow, determined effort can take you in the right direction, even if you’re questioning what direction that is. It will be better to rely on actions than intellect- stick with what you can physically take stock of rather than unproven words. Silent, purposeful work will take you further than pretty declarations.
Mars in Scorpio is deep motivation – tapping into the unconscious and making it visible. Saturn makes it real while restraining all-or-nothing impulses. This is sober, serious energy that asks you to push things just a bit further while applying discipline and total commitment.
Note the contrast in the energies – Mercury/Neptune is external and expansive while Mars in Scorpio contracts and is internal. Actions penetrate through the levels until you hit hidden reservoirs of strength/resources/authenticity. Mercury/Neptune may be distracting, but Mars will show you the truth. Rely on your physical senses, no matter what you hear or see.
December 13th, 2019: Venus Conjunct Pluto, Mars Trine Neptune

Venus/Pluto is the intensification of defined desires. Pluto adds a “must have” quality to a relationship, financial or self- esteem issue. The intensity of what you want or love will teach you about your personal limits: how far are you willing to go and how much control are you willing to give up? The truth of what you want will be excavated so there’ll be no room for denial. This could be about a total commitment or total ending and transformation (aspects to Pluto often indicate a metaphorical death).
Neptune can enable Mars’ actions as a smooth flow of motivation with zero resistance. It will be easy to dive deeply into something, so this energy can enable healthy and not so healthy actions. Just because an aspect (the trine) is harmonious, doesn’t mean that the outcome is always positive. You really have to look at what you’re doing and why. On the plus side, Neptune can encourage Mars in Scorpio’s deeply compassionate or healing efforts as boundaries are dissolved.
Overall, this is about serious actions (Mars) and attraction (Venus). There’s the potential to go deeper than you ever have, regarding what you want and what you’re prepared to do to get it. As noted, efforts will be easy but that may or may not be a good thing. What you end up with will reveal the true power or transformative potential in a relationship or resource.
December 8th, 2019: Capricorn Energy (And A Sun/Neptune Square)

The Sun/Neptune square promises limitless faith and good things, but much of what is promised will be false. A square to Neptune is a crisis of truth and belief: the shimmer of possibility is an illusion. There could be questions about what you thought was true.
Venus in Capricorn’s harmonious aspect to Neptune can be a point of grounding and reality for the above. It’s not all false- there’s a seed of magic that can be developed via focus and maturity regarding what you love.
Jupiter in Capricorn’s structured opportunities can trigger moments of doubt or insecurity as it squares Chiron. The need to prove what you’re learning, teaching or growing can stir up some pain, so before you push further down this new path consider why it hurts. You don’t need to stop, but you can use this moment to learn more about an area of vulnerability.
Ceres over the South Node draws your attention to an issue of mothering or nurturing from the past. Rules about care, loss or rebirth will be the focus- there could be a permanent ending that’s part of a larger cycle. Or, you may be reaping the results of previous attempts to nurture.

November 27, 2019: Venus Square Chiron & Neptune Direct
Venus in Capricorn square Chiron RX in Aries (1 °)
Neptune in Pisces stations direct (15°)
Neptune in Pisces sextile Vesta RX in Taurus (15°)
Venus
Venus/Chiron indicates a painful crisis involving the status or tradition of what you want/love. Relationship commitments, defined examples of what’s beautiful or self-esteem linked to status can trigger moments of tension. There may be insecurities about lack of status or commitment. Perhaps traditional examples of female energy make you feel like an outsider because you don’t fit the mould. The authority that you want could be undermined by insecurities.
As always with hard aspects to Chiron, you can’t gloss over the unpleasantness. The best approach is to expect that Venus- themed situations (money, relationships, values) will be temporarily difficult. Accept the moment of discomfort and consider if there’s a message for you. How authentic is that status? Is it time to discard certain traditions, or is this a temporary blip? What is the reality of what you want?
Most importantly, what does this say about your responsibilities regarding boundaries and defined values?
Neptune
It’s interesting that on the same day, Neptune moves forward. While Capricorn is about rules and reality, Neptune dissolves reality. Neptune direct is the current of magic, transcendence or impossibility that circumvents the rules. This is a subtle influence, but it does suggest that issues involving fantasy, compassion, deceit or truth will now move forward. Neptune is associated with deceit but the truthful flip side is always revealed in the end (sometimes resulting in relief and other times resulting in disillusionment). Neptune stationed RX on June 21st at 18°.
As Neptune moves forward it will make it harmonious sextile with Vesta. Devotion to physical resources, money or habits will be gently confirmed and adjusted. Watch for a subtle shift in the current regarding security matters that you’ve been focused on. This is the second of three sextiles between Neptune and Vesta:

So you’re halfway through a process that began in July-an integration of the earthly and the spiritual, reality and dreams or self-preservation and sacrifice.
