November 30th, 2018: Venus in Libra Opposite Uranus

  • Venus in Libra opposite Uranus Rx in Aries (29 deg)

The Venus/Uranus opposition at the final degrees of their respective signs signals an ending or result that’s been a long time coming. Uranus is retrograde, so you’ve been here before.

Venus previously opposed Uranus, but she was in Scorpio and Uranus was in Taurus (Sept 12th at 2 deg and Oct 31st at 0 deg). So the push for change/liberation is not new, but the energy has shifted. Scorpio/Taurus was about a loosening of deep control, possession or security fears. Libra/Aries is the surface reflection (the final result) of these depth charges.

Even though this is not new, Uranus can still provide a jolt. A relationship may be shaken or abruptly adjusted. An issue involving projection could hit with surprising force. Uranus provides liberation, which will also address any imbalances (Libra) that have gone unchecked.

An external trigger may deliver the jolt, but consider how this is a reflection of what’s been happening on a deeper level.

  • Third Quarter Square between the Virgo Moon and Sagittarius Sun (7 deg)

  • Uranus Rx in Aries square Vesta in Capricorn (29 deg)

A tense day as the Third Quarter Square raises new and annoying questions. Certain flaws in the story may emerge, and while they will be bothersome, you’ll find them difficult to ignore. Before you can expand any further, you need to attend to the details. Pay attention to the small but significant mental itch that won’t go away – something is not quite right.

Uranus/Vesta challenges an area of rigid focus. You may be devoted to a certain rule, or be completely fixated on a narrow path. A disruption will shake this up – consider if you can look outside the box or if some of the rules need to be challenged. Sometimes a distraction opens your eyes to new possibilities.

November 28th, 2018: Pivotal Relationship Issue

  • Venus in Libra inconjunct Chiron Rx in Pisces (27 deg)

  • Venus in Libra square the North Node in Cancer/South Node in Capricorn (28 deg)

Venus in Libra square the Nodes is a pivotal relationship issue. There will be a choice between sticking with old rules/limits/expressions of authority (South Node) or progressing towards something that is more intuitive, nurturing and in line with authentic needs. It may be about getting past the superficial shell of status and tuning into the real emotions.

Venus’ inconjunct to Chiron Rx indicates that this will be a touch painful. You may be tempted to gloss over a reoccurring wound (Venus also made an inconjunct to Chiron on November 3rd) but dealing with this is part of your progress towards the North Node. Chiron will make an exact trine with the North Node on December 2nd, but you can certainly make use of this energy now- move towards a place of emotional authenticity by acknowledging what hurts. In the process, you can forgive, release, heal, sooth. And this may correct an imbalance in your relationships.

November 27th, 2018: Hopeful Progress

  • Waning Trine between the Leo Moon and Sagittarius Sun (5 deg)

  • Sun conjunct Mercury Rx in Sagittarius (5 deg)

  • Mercury Rx conjunct Jupiter (4 deg)

  • Vesta conjunct the Capricorn South Node (28 deg)

Waning Trine

The Waning Trine allows you to share your talents or a creation that you’re proud of. Something special can be displayed or communicated, and others will be receptive. The energy is hopeful, forward-looking and vibrant.

This will involve the Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction (with Jupiter) which marks the midpoint of the Mercury’s retrograde (since Nov 16th) – here is a point of clarity that involves a reward or greater wisdom. Mercury Rx’s delays and reviews can deliver some benefits or open your eyes to something better. And this is what you’ll be sharing with others, or they will be sharing with you.

If you’ve been waiting for an answer or hint about what you’re supposed to do next, this could be it. Keep in mind that Mercury is still Rx, so the process is not complete. But this should mark a positive turning point.

Vesta

Vesta/South Node hi-lights a point of exclusive focus (or obsession). This could be something from the past, or an issue that’s ready to be developed further. It may involve rules, limits, traditions or authority. Now is the moment to finish it and move on – you can either stop focusing on it or see the results of what you’ve been devoting your energy to.

November 26th, 2018: Sun/Jupiter and Mercury Square Mars

by  •

  • Sagittarius Sun conjunct Jupiter (3 deg)

  • Mercury Rx in Sagittarius square Mars in Pisces (6 deg)

An enthusiastic day with Sun/Jupiter energizing new possibilities, ideals and hope. This is the big promise or the reason to have faith. The “why not” moment. Adding to this, Mercury in Sag makes an energetic square to Mars, encouraging forceful communication and action-driven words.

However, note that Mercury is Rx, so this will not be the final word. And Mars in Pisces can be vague as actions slide off in unexpected directions. This aspect is best used to energize a review, question or second look at a previous issue. Sun/Jupiter will encourage you to reach further, but Mercury Rx/Mars can see you distracted by an old issue that turns into an argument or frustrating search.

Focus may be scattered, as new and old possibilities vie for your attention.

Remind yourself that the story is not complete, and you can’t force anything (especially your ideas of right and wrong).

November 24th, 2018: Progress With Neptune Direct

  • Neptune stations direct in Pisces (13 deg)

  • Mercury Rx in Sagittarius sextile Pallas in Libra (8 deg)

Neptune

Retrograde since June 18th (from 16 to 13 deg Pisces) Neptune direct is about moving forward after the last remnants of an illusion/dream/outdated situation have dissolved. There may be a release as something fades away. If Neptune has been triggering confusion or loss of focus, this can be a time when you make some headway and progress further into the unknown country (forward means you’re one step closer to the other side).

If you have a natal plant or point at:

  • 13 deg of the Mutable signs, Neptune will be permanently done with you as of December 27th, 2018 (roughly)

  • 14 deg of the Mutable signs, Neptune will be permanently done with you as of February, 2019 (roughly)

  • 17 to 18 deg of the Mutable signs, you’ll be getting your first taste of Neptune around April 2019

Mercury/Pallas

Mercury in Sag makes the first of two sextiles to Pallas. This is a quiet but positive influence – any harmonious aspect between Mercury and Pallas blends information/communication with strategy. Pallas in Libra is about relationship or diplomatic strategies, and boosted by Mercury in Sag, we have expansive communication to deliver these strategies. Meaning, a convincing way to send your message.

But Mercury is Rx, so this will be a revision of previous information, or a second request. Ask again and restrategize. Mercury direct will sextile Pallas again on December 29th, so the plan may not roll forward in its entirety until then.

For now, rest assured that this is a good time to adjust those solutions and have them favourably received. And it’s happening when Neptune goes direct, so you know there will be progress, even if it’s slow.

November 23rd, 2018: Venus in Libra Square Vesta

  • Venus in Libra square Vesta in Capricorn (26 deg)

Vesta’s rigid focus (in Saturn-ruled Capricorn) can cause tension with a relationship, financial or self-esteem issue. Venus in Libra wants harmony and balance, but the tension of the square suggests that strict concentration on what you want but don’t have (or where you don’t feel good enough) can cause an imbalance.

Today, you may be aware of a situation where you don’t feel loved/liked or where the exchange between you and another is not equal. Know that obsessing about this will increase the blockage you already feel. Consider what rules or boundaries are challenging you and see if there’s a compromise available between what you want versus what is.

For some, excessive focus on responsibility or work can create blocks in the personal life. Are you shutting someone out because of your devotion to status or tradition?

November 21st, 2018: The Second Disruption

  • Sun in Scorpio inconjunct Uranus Rx in Aries (29 deg)

  • Mercury Rx in Sagittarius sextile Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (11 deg)

In the final degree of Scorpio, the Sun makes a jolting inconjunct to Uranus Rx. Change, liberation or a break from the past will shake things up and challenge a deeper sense of control or intimacy. The change may feel unwelcome (a threat to survival) but Uranus’ Rx status says that you’re revisiting this issue. It’s not new, and it’s high time for that final break.

But at the same time, deeper resources or privacy must be respected. The inconjunct means an adjustment to both sides, so as the Sun prepares to leave Scorpio, let go of what you can’t control (or what’s ready to leave) but know that you don’t have to toss everything out.

Mercury/BML connect in the second of three sextiles. Open-minded words or ideals support Lilith’s outcast energy. The dangerous woman has a voice, and her message is delivered in a way that others will be receptive to (the sextile is a harmonious aspect).

Taboo issues about women’s power and sexuality can be spoken of openly, but Mercury’s Rx status means revisiting the subject that was first broached on November 10th. Now, it’s time for questions, a review of the challenging story or a second request. Perhaps this subject matter was initially so unheard of that no one wanted to touch it (BML raises those uncomfortable issues about gender dynamics). Well, what was unheard of is now being repeated.

Altogether, today’s influences suggest going back to shake things up (again).

November 19th, 2018: Mars in Pisces Square Jupiter

  • Mars in Pisces square Jupiter in Sagittarius

The Mars/Jupiter square can amplify existing tendencies towards addiction, overindulgence or escapism. It can also amplify creativity or motivation to help/heal. Whatever you feel pulled towards today, know that the current will be strong. And, you will not have total control over the end result.

A square means tension, and in this case, it’s tension between ideals/faith/the big picture (Jupiter) versus actions (Mars). The tension will motivate you to seek, pursue or escape.

This is why it’s important to be very aware of your impulses. What are you trying to accomplish? Mars in fluid Pisces is about openness and allowing, but Jupiter pushes for big results. It can be easy to lose track. But if you set your course in a healthy direction, you can achieve almost magical results.

November 17th, 2018: Sun Opposite Juno Rx in Taurus

  • Sun in Scorpio opposite Juno Rx in Taurus (25 deg)

Juno Rx in Taurus is a review of the essentials in a relationship agreement – the security basics, the desire for stability, the money. When the Sun opposes Juno Rx, we see a possible ending or result brought on by that review. The Sun will illuminate a key issue from the depths of Scorpio (the stuff beneath the surface) and since Juno has been Rx in Taurus since October 24th, part of the agreement/contract is ready to be unearthed.

Taurus is the secure foundation and routine. Scorpio is the depths and the death/rebirth of that routine. Today we dig into the heart of a relationship contract and see what’s really there.
