  • Jupiter in Scorpio trine Chiron Rx in Pisces (28 deg)

  • Jupiter in Scorpio sextile Pallas in Virgo (28 deg)

  • Chiron Rx in Pisces opposite Pallas in Virgo (28 deg)

Jupiter/Chiron gives you access to deep healing of a wound/vulnerability that first came up around March/April 2018. At that time, you may not have had the resources to deal, but now you do- pay attention to what’s emerged from the depths (knowledge, secrets, optimism).

Jupiter in Scorpio has stirred up a lot of crap during its transit – you’ve felt the weight of your Shadow, issues with death or trauma. But this trine indicates that healing is available. The emergence of dark things is not without relief.

Chiron’s opposition to Pallas indicates some challenges as you attempt to apply logical strategies/solutions that don’t quite do the trick. The neat pattern won’t fit with what hurts. But Jupiter’s sextile suggests you can still get through this if you work with newly emerging secrets/wisdom. The deeper you go, the more access you’ll have to assistance as you expand upon an existing solution. Go beyond what’s logical.

Mercury’s Transit of Sagittarius and Mercury Rx

As Mercury enters Sagittarius today (October 31st) the energy around communication and information shifts from investigation/secrets to big-picture views and ideals.

Mercury is expansive in this sign. Details are less important than the overall story, which will usually have a touch of the idealized exotic. This is the transit of promises, inspired words, the sales pitch and certain versions of the truth.

Initially, this may feel like a huge leap as Mercury’s compression in Scorpio suddenly gives way to rapid expansion. You may be flooded with ideas, stories and big pronouncements. But Mercury will station Rx in Sagittarius on November 16th, and you’ll be questioning the story. Or, there may be delays and reviews of the big promise.

As noted in this post, Mercury Rx will dip back into Scorpio, telling us that the review of something new and expansive will trigger an additional look at what lies beneath the story. Sagittarius is associated with truth, but there’s a sense here that what you first learn may not be the whole truth.

Mercury’s first major aspect in Sag will be a trine to the Leo North Node, which will fire up new ideas with brilliant future potential. This will truly be about looking ahead. But Mercury will also make an inconjunct to Uranus Rx (ruler of the Aquarius South Node) so there may be something unfinished (a surprise or disruption) that you have to take into consideration. Uranus/Mercury can be impatient and disconnected. You’ll want to to say “Yes” or speak out ASAP. Just keep in mind that the retrograde will slow things down.

Here are the aspects Mercury in Sagittarius/Scorpio will make:

  • Oct 31st: inconjunct Uranus Rx in Taurus (0 deg)

  • Oct 31st: trine the Leo North Node (0 deg)

  • Nov 10th: sextile Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (10 deg)

  • Nov 16th: stations Rx at 13 deg Sagittarius

  • Nov 21st: sextile Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (11 deg)

  • Nov 24th: sextile Pallas in Libra (8 deg)

  • Nov 26th: square Mars in Pisces (6 deg)

  • Nov 27th: conjunct the Sun (5 deg)

  • Nov 27th: conjunct Jupiter (4 deg)

  • Dec 1st: re-enters Scorpio

  • Dec 1st: sextile Vesta in Capricorn (29 deg)

  • Dec 2nd: inconjunct Uranus Rx in Aries (29 deg)

  • Dec 4th:trine Chiron Rx in Pisces (27 deg)

  • Dec 4th: trine the Cancer North Node (27 deg)

  • Dec 6th: stations direct (27 deg)

  • Dec 7th: trine the Cancer North Node (27 deg)

  • Dec 9th: trine Chiron in Pisces (27 deg)

  • Dec 11th: inconjunct Uranus Rx in Aries (28 deg)

  • Dec 12th: re-enters Sagittarius

  • Dec 21st: sextle Vesta in Aquarius (9 deg)

  • Dec 21st: conjunct Jupiter (9 deg)

  • Dec 24th: square Neptune in Pisces (13 deg)

  • Dec 26th: sextile Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (15 deg)

  • Dec 29th: inconjunct Juno in Taurus (20 deg)

  • Dec 29th: sextile Pallas in Libra (20 deg)

  • Jan 2nd: inconjunct the Cancer North Node (26 deg)

  • Jan 3rd: square Chiron in Pisces (28 deg)

  • Jan 4th: trine Uranus Rx in Aries (28 deg)

  • Jan 4th: Capricorn ingress

October 31st, 2018: Looking Deeper and Stepping Back

by  •

  • Third Quarter Square between the Leo Moon and Scorpio Sun (8 deg)

  • Venus Rx in Scorpio opposite Uranus Rx in Taurus (0 deg)

  • Venus Rx returns to Libra

Third Quarter Square

The Third Quarter Square brings an internal crisis, as bold, bright (possibly celebratory) energies hi-light the contrast between light and dark. Something is grabbing your attention, but you may not feel like examining the contrast it triggers. However, looking deeper or confronting the specter of loss, powerlessness or massive change is necessary. A new beginning awaits, but you can’t access it unless you’re prepared to acknowledge what’s dying (or your own Shadow issues).

Venus Rx

Adding to the above, the Venus/Uranus opposition suggests an ending or culmination that’s been in the works for awhile (you may have encountered it on September 12th, 2018 when Venus in Scorpio first opposed Uranus). A jolt of clarity, or desire for freedom, will add to the re-evaluations that Venus Rx in Scorpio has stirred up. Here’s your moment of truth.

This jolt may push you back a step or two, as Venus’ return to Libra indicates a second look at the balance between you and another, or the social balance in your life. Surface issues will be questioned – is everything really ok?

Check out my post on Venus’ transit of Libra for a more detailed look at this portion of Venus’ Rx, as well as specific aspects.

October 30th, 2018: The Turning Point

  • Mercury in Scorpio opposite Juno Rx in Taurus (29 deg)

  • Venus Rx in Scorpio square South Node in Aquarius/North Node in Leo (0 deg)

Mercury/Juno Rx raises questions about a previous contract or relationship agreement. What seemed to be set in stone may now be challenged, as someone wants to look deeper or ask uncomfortable questions. Too, this opposition could indicate the finalization of a commitment from September 28th.

Venus Rx square the Nodes adds more info to the relationship issue. The review of, or return to, an intense exploration of values, self-esteem or love beneath the surface will bring you to a major turning point – what you want/love will be the deciding factor regarding staying on the edge, remaining detached/alienated versus stepping up and claiming your place at the center. This can be the center of anything that increases your pride, power and sense of purpose. The key will be committing yourself to something that matters to you and builds your self-esteem.

It’s significant that this square is happening just before Venus Rx returns to Libra (Oct 31st) and the Nodes enter Cancer/Capricorn (November 6th). This adds emphasis to an already significant turning point, because it precedes a huge, energetic shift. This will be your last chance to address certain issues, although Venus will square the Nodes again on November 28th (from Libra). But that will involve different themes.

October 29th, 2018: A Day To Go Deep

  • Waning Trine between the Cancer Moon and Scorpio Sun (5 deg)

  • Mercury conjunct Jupiter in Scorpio (27 deg)

  • Mercury in Scorpio trine Chiron Rx in Pisces (28 deg)

The Waning Trine allows you to share feelings and needs on a profound level, and no one will be scared off by the intensity. Comfort and familiarity blend with dark issues and secrets, so almost nothing is “too much.” Dive in and allow others to witness your feelings. Or, if you’d rather keep this private, it’s still an excellent time to submerge yourself in what was previously too heavy. The trine allows a natural progression through those feelings.

Adding even more understanding, we have Mercury/Jupiter for the perfect combo of intellect and faith, words and enthusiasm. Mercury/Jupiter is big words and discoveries – announcing what you’ve uncovered from Scorpio’s depths. A massive shot of truth, and Mercury’s trine to Chiron Rx enables this to be delivered with empathy.

Chiron Rx is also about the wound that’s being revisited, but now you have the facts (Mercury) and the bigger picture (Jupiter) for a complete perspective. Here’s your solution, assistance, or positive answer that helps you deal with the wound.

Overall, today is made for emotional discussions, sharing intimate facts or arriving at a profound realization and release.

October 27th, 2018: Heavy But Manageable

  • Sun in Scorpio sextile Saturn in Capricorn (4 deg)

A rather serious vibe today, but not too harsh. Scorpio’s depth is solidified by Saturn – if you’re on some kind of descent, you will only go so far (as far as you need to go). There’s a duty here, or a confirmation. It won’t be joyous and it may feel a bit heavy, but it will be quite manageable.

The sextile is a gentle aspect that promises integration of depth/profound change/transformation with rules and boundaries.

Do what you need to do and know that the path will be laid out for you.

October 25th, 2018: Sorting Through the Full Moon’s Fallout

by  •

  • Moon in Taurus square Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (8 deg)

  • Moon in Taurus trine Vesta in Capricorn (13 deg)

  • Moon in Taurus sextile Neptune Rx in Pisces (13 deg)

  • Moon in Taurus square Mars in Aquarius (17 deg)

Moon/BML indicates tension between familiar scenarios versus what’s radical and uncomfortable. The Moon is a classic expression of female energy – mother. BML is the opposite – the outcast, the woman who breaks the rules. In mythology, Lilith is associated with the death of children, so when she is in hard aspect to the Moon in Taurus, there may be tension between fertile and destructive scenarios.

This tension will peak with the Moon’s square to Mars- the buildup of anger/impatience (with a fixed situation) that finally results in jarring action. But before this, the Moon’s smooth aspects to Vesta and Neptune are an opportunity to focus (Vesta) on what matters most. What are you attempting to grow? Neptune adds a hint of creativity and transcendence – a whisper that there’s more to this than what you see in front of you.

But the main energies will be the two squares, which can push you to question the value of what you have. This will take you back to yesterday’s Taurus Full Moon – those results may have been jarring, but they revealed truths about a relationship, your values or your resources. Now, you’re sorting through the fallout.

October 23rd: Scorpio Season

by  •

The Sun enters Scorpio on October 23rd (7:22 AM EDT). Now we arrive at the season of darkness, intensity, obscurity and truth.

In order to get to the Scorpio gold (which is raw truth and courageous intimacy) you have to go deep- you have to face the taboos, the secrets, the ugly stuff. You have to experience and accept powerlessness, and through this, gain an understanding of your own power. Often what’s revealed is not pleasant, so “gold” may not seem like an appropriate word. But the highest version of this energy is pure intimacy (complete merging with another) and/or the absolute knowledge of your own Shadow. When you face down your demons, there’s nothing left to undermine you.

Scorpio energy can be vicious and destructive when misused. Or, it can be profoundly loyal and completely accepting of what terrifies and repels other people. It’s never superficial. It is associated with death, but often it’s a metaphorical death – the complete ending that must happen before you can transform yourself and your situation. Then, you rise up stronger than before.

This is the season to get real, but not in the same way as the Earth signs. Scorpio-real is profound emotional honesty, which includes all the messy, passionate “too much/too heavy” feelings.

Today’s Transits

  • Sun in Scorpio opposite Uranus Rx in Taurus:0 deg

  • Sun in Scorpio inconjunct Juno Rx in Gemini: 0 deg

I’ve combined today’s daily transit post with the Scorpio ingress, because they are directly connected.

Today’s opposition to Uranus Rx in Taurus will define this Scorpio season because it’s the first major aspect and occurs on the ingress. The bolt of Uranian clarity will manifest as disruption for some (disruption of power or secrets) and complete realization for others (the deepest “a ha”). The opposition can be a result, ending or delivery from an external source. Whether it’s a dark suprise or light illuminating the gloom, know that it will be the truth.

The October 24th Full Moon will carry this forward.

If you want to know more about Uranus’ transit of Taurus and how it might apply to you, I’ve written a downloadable PDF that you can purchase, here.

Also, the Sun makes an inconjunct to Juno Rx in Gemini, so a sub-theme to this reveal may be a glitch in the details of a new relationship agreement. The necessity to look behind the scenes for answers (or intimacy) will have to be adjusted with certain facts- there’s an incompatibility here involving truth and intimacy.

Interestingly, the Scorpio Sun will aspect Uranus and Juno Rx again towards the end of Scorpio season (see the list below) but this time the inconjunct will be to Uranus Rx in Aries and the Sun will oppose Juno Rx in Taurus. Now, the Sun’s dark spotlight will illuminate what lies beneath surface security (and rigid habits) of a relationship, and this will have to be adjusted with an agitation for freedom. Note that Uranus and Juno are both Rx, so these issues will not be new.

Overall, this Scorpio season seems to be about the truth behind an agreement/contract you’ve made. You’ll look at it from multiple angles. Remember that Scorpio starts out with secrets and obscured (occult) information, but if you dig deep enough (and you’re brave enough) you’ll arrive at the truth.

Here are the aspects the Sun in Scorpio will make:

  • Oct 23rd: opposition to Uranus Rx in Taurus (1 deg)

  • Oct 23rd: inconjunct Juno Rx in Gemini (0 deg)

  • Oct 24th: square the Leo/Aquarius Nodes (1 deg)

  • Oct 26th: conjunct Venus Rx (3 deg)

  • Oct 27th: sextile Saturn in Capricorn (4 deg)

  • Nov 2nd: square Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (9 deg)

  • Nov 6th: trine Neptune Rx in Pisces (13 deg)

  • Nov 7th: New Moon (15 deg Scorpio)

  • Nov 11th: sextile Pluto in Capricorn (19 deg)

  • Nov 14th: sextile Vesta in Capricorn (22 deg)

  • Nov 17th: opposite Juno Rx in Taurus (25 deg)

  • Nov 20th: trine Chiron Rx in Pisces (28 deg)

  • Nov 20th: trine the North Node in Cancer (28 deg)

  • Nov 21st: inconjunct Uranus Rx in Aries (29 deg)

  • Nov 22nd: Sagittarius ingress

October 22nd, 2018: Gentle Truths

  • Waxing Inconjunct between the Pisces Moon and Libra Sun (28 deg)

  • Moon conjunct Chiron Rx in Pisces (28 deg)

  • Sun in Libra inconjunct Chiron Rx in Pisces (28 deg)

  • Mercury in Scorpio sextile Pluto in Capricorn (18 deg)

The Waxing Inconjunct will hi-light something that needs to be acknowledged before the October 24th Taurus Full Moon.

The Sun’s inconjunct to Chiron Rx is part of this – while the Pisces Moon/Chiron conjunction will encourage immersion (no boundaries) in what feels sensitive, this immersion will need to be balanced (Libra) with the awareness of others (Libra is the relationship sign). Empathy will be key – what are they going through? You may find some common ground.

As I wrote in yesterday’s post, this is a “poignant and peaceful” energy, and the Libra influence certainly doesn’t indicate disruption. But consider if what you’re feeling connects you to someone else. There may be a wound or embarrassment that specifically involves one-on-one relationships.

Mercury/Pluto encourages the exploration of intensive (Scorpio) truths in an non-invasive way. Words will have an impact, but they can be spoken gently because the sextile is soft aspect. Information can be uncovered and it doesn’t have to be earth-shattering. Overall, today’s vibe is compassionate and honest.

October 21st, 2018: Rest Up

by  •

  • Moon in Pisces trine Mercury in Scorpio (16 deg)

  • Moon in Pisces sextile Pluto in Capricorn (18 deg)

  • Moon in Pisces opposite Pallas in Virgo (23 deg)

  • Moon in Pisces trine Jupiter in Scorpio (26 deg)

  • Moon Void of Course in Pisces (7:47 PM EDT)

  • Moon conjunct Chiron in Pisces (Oct 22nd)

  • Moon enters Aries and VOC ends (Oct 22nd, 2:58 AM EDT)

All harmonious aspects for the Pisces Moon today, except for an opposition to Pallas.

The trine to Mercury in Scorpio and sexitle to Pluto (ruler of Scorpio) suggests feelings, intuition and intellect can blend beautifully. What you sense will be powerful, intense and easily expressed. Words should flow, although the opposition to Pallas suggests strategies (problem solving) may be a bit tricky. What you feel could contradict what seems like a good solution. It’s up to you to find that balance between pure practicality versus empathy or creativity.

Nonetheless, the trine to Jupiter can end things on an uplifting note (you’ll feel optimistic) while also expanding any desire to escape, heal or relax. Not great for accomplishments but excellent for opening up, fantasizing or letting someone in.

The void Moon will be your time to sit quietly and allow yourself to feel whatever hurts – you can be vulnerable but safe with the Chiron conjunction as there will be no pressure and no expectations. This energy is poignant and peaceful.

If you can, set aside this time to just be and rest up for the Moon’s Aries ingress, when everything will become supercharged.
