  • Venus in Aquarius square Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio: 24 degrees

New social or romantic impulses will trigger deeper issues of jealousy and anger. Stepping outside the lines may raise more controversy than anticipated, as darker sexual dynamics are churned up. Others may react to what you can’t see, and the desire to love in your own way can be driven by destructive urges. Aquarius’ clear, dispassionate light emphasizes Scorpio’s shadow. 

Capricorn New Moon: Merit Badge

A friend with several Capricorn planets complains that today’s parents are too gentle with their children for fear of injuring their self-esteem with a harsh word. “You know how you build self-esteem?” she’s fond of saying. “You do things, and you do them the right way. That’s how you build self-esteem.” That’s how my mother built my self-esteem, all right. Badge by stinking badge.

Capricorn New Moon: The Art of Happiness

Imagine traveling to a land with no Sun. Travel far north enough in Norway and you will find yourself at Earth’s northernmost year-round settlement, called Svalbard, located right below the North Pole. Yes, that’s Santa’s North Pole. I spent Christmas there one year. We even saw his workshop. Which, for the still-believers, looked like a cottage nestled in the glacial mountain […]

  • Sun conjunct Mercury Rx in Capricorn: 7 degrees
  • Mercury Rx in Capricorn sextile Mars in Pisces: 7 degrees
  • Saturn in Sagittarius square Chiron in Pisces: 21 degrees

Sun/Mercury Rx can uncover answers, or spotlight the return of someone from your past. News, conversations or reconnections will give you more to go on, but nothing’s final. Rather, this aspect encourages you to ask more questions or continue the review. Will the structure hold? Is the commitment real? Where are the weak spots? Mars adds gentle initiative – keep looking, thinking, considering and act accordingly. 

Rules, denial or obligations define (Saturn) the wound (Chiron). The crisis of the square will make this influence especially tense and unpleasant. But the square is an active aspect. Chiron is meant to be confronted, so use the tension to do that. Mars’ influence on Sun/Mercury Rx encourages you to take action, in light of what you hear or learn (just remember it’s Mercury Rx).

The Capricorn/Saturn influence is dominant. This means maturity and self-control are your sharpest tools. 

These influences are part of the Capricorn New Moon.
