December 20th, 2018: Pause and Confirm

  • Waxing Inconjunct between the Taurus Moon and Sagittarius Sun (28 deg)

  • Sagittarius Sun trine Uranus Rx in Aries (28 deg)

The Waxing Inconjunct can bring up some frustrating blocks to forward momentum. Money, security or the need to take stock of an existing situation will be incompatible with an ideal, hope or area of expansion. And yet both must be integrated – you’re still moving towards something new (or broadening your reach) while stabilizing what you already have. Perhaps your foundation needs attention; this will enable you to move forward from a place of greater assurance.

Fortunately, the Sun’s trine to Uranus can help as you’re encouraged to keep putting energy into that new/innovative/liberating development. While this is not entirely new (Uranus was previously at this sign and deg around April 2018) it’s still a bit of a risk – there’s excitement and trepidation. Trust that you can work with this, even as you briefly slow down today in order to secure material resources or establish your values (there could be some core issues that need to be reaffirmed before you move on).

December 19th, 2018: Sagittarius Sun Square Chiron

  • Sun in Sagittarius square Chiron in Pisces (27 deg)

The drive for expansion, truths, hope and exploration may be undercut today, as a painful square to Chiron reminds you of where you’re vulnerable. Fear of the unknown could be an issue, or perhaps the mere thought of being optimistic raises fears. What if you’re disappointed?

As always with Chiron, the best approach is to acknowledge what hurts. Before you can make any progress, it’s essential that you deal with this, and it’s not a new issue. Chiron was previously at this degree of Pisces around March 2018 and there was an applying square from Mars in Sag (exact on March 14th at 18 deg). Back then, actions (a leap of faith?) triggered doubts. Or perhaps you stumbled as you ventured into new territory. The bruise you received has not fully healed, and it’s an opportunity to learn more about where you place your faith and how you handle new experiences.

If the pain makes you question what you believe in, those are worthwhile questions – beliefs and future expansion must be able to stand up to crises. If they can’t, then it’s time to adjust your compass.

In general, travel, education, legal matters, publishing, exploration or ideals can be trouble areas today. Slow down and watch for a repeat of issues from March.

December 18th, 2018: Sagittarius Sun Inconjunct the North Node

by  •

  • Sun in Sagittarius inconjunct the Cancer North Node (27 deg)

Sagittarius is about exploring. The North Node marks the path forward. Both of these energies are about moving ahead and yet today they are incompatible. Sag wants to leap into something new and expansive while Cancer is about the development of inner needs and security.

You may feel the tension between wanting to surge ahead versus feeling uncomfortable. Both sides must be honoured (the new adventure and your feelings). When the Sun is at odds with the North Node, forward movement in general may be difficult, and yet it’s necessary. Step out but don’t ignore your needs while you do so. The entire point of the transiting North Node in Cancer is to tune into what you feel.

You can learn something new/broaden your horizons (Sagittarius) gradually, in a way that makes you comfortable (Cancer North Node). Align external truths with the inner truth that resonates in your gut.

  • Waxing Trine between the Aries Moon and Sagittarius Sun (26 deg)

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

  • Mars in Pisces sextile Juno Rx in Taurus (20 deg)

Aries courage and force blends with Sagittarius’ expansive outlook for a gutsy, optimistic vibe. This is the time to roll forward – there should be a path of least resistance and a natural flow of adventure that encourages you to go for it. Great for starting something that requires extra energy.

Fortunately, you’ve also got a Mars/Pluto sextle happening. Mars (ruler of Aries) is empowered by Pluto so there’s extra force behind those actions. But Mars in Pisces flows rather than pushes and – intuitive effort can make a huge impact. Try stepping back and watching what unfolds, then act on that, rather than trying to control events. Loosening your grip can actually intensify your efforts.

Mars also makes a sextile to Juno Rx so we know the above involves a relationship (business or personal) agreement. Right now it’s under review and Mars’ sextile activates energetic progress. You’re not just sitting and pondering the terms of the agreement, you and another are taking action to revise it.

Note that Juno will trine Pluto two times:

  • Dec 23rd (Juno Rx)

  • Dec 31st (Juno direct)

Juno/Pluto is the profound commitment that harmonizes with slow change and empowers both parties as it evolves. The process has started now (the trine is within orb) and the Mars sextile suggests following the route of intuitive action to make it happen. Don’t force it – go with what’s unfolding and drift forward. It may not seem like you’re making progress but trust that you are.

Agreements that are in the works today can see lucrative, constructive developments.

December 16th, 2018: Deep, Quiet Commitment

by  •

  • Venus in Scorpio sextile Saturn in Capricorn (9 deg)

Here we have an aspect of profound commitment. Relationships/self-esteem/shared finances are confirmed by Saturn’s rules. And, Scorpio means the Venus issue will be serious stuff- enduring and intense.

But the sextile is a gentle connection, so the commitment (involving yourself or another) may be a wordless confirmation of what you already sensed. An unseen guarantee that settles in place without you being fully aware of it. However, its quietness does not dilute its depth – this is not light and playful energy.

This can also be the subtle manifestation of deeper resources: quiet efforts that bear fruit by revealing what’s beneath the surface. Overall, a good stabilizing energy for those who care more about quality than flashy displays.

This is the last of three sextiles, the other two occuring on September 12th (2 deg) and October 24th (4 deg-when Venus was Rx). This commitment has been gently persisting in the background for awhile. There’s a sense of endurance as something worth waiting for has finally ripened. Just remember that Venus in Scorpio demands total commitment and complete honesty about what you really want/love/are worth.

Note that this can be a commitment to self – to inner values or recognition of your Shadow.

December 15th, 2018: A Test of Faith

  • First Quarter Square between the Pisces Moon and Sagittarius Sun (23 deg)

  • Ceres in Scorpio square Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (14 deg)

The First Quarter Square can raise difficult issues as belief clashes with faith and disillusionment undermines trust. The Sag Sun is about striving for the future where there’s hope but the Pisces Moon can trigger loss of momentum or questions about what’s real/true.

And yet, the crisis of this square demands action- you have to move forward while altering your course based on the questions that come up.

Adding to the tension, Ceres/Lilith pits the Great Mother against the Witch/Outsider. Ceres in Scorpio’s deep nurturing clashes with BML in Aquarius’ disruption and detachment. Ceres is the intensely nurturing (and controlling) embrace while Black Moon Lilith looks out for herself and her freedom. You may be confronting this dynamic in your life as you consider the limits of how you can nurture/control versus liberation. Or, perhaps you need to come in from the cold and look at what/who needs your care.

As this takes place during the First Quarter Square, you know you’ll have to do something – use the crisis as motivation to make the necessary changes. This is your test of faith.
