October 1st, 2019: Venus Square Pluto and Relationship Dynamics

  • Venus in Libra Square Pluto RX in Capricorn (20°)

  • Neptune RX in Pisces opposite Juno in Virgo (16°)  

  • Juno in Virgo opposite Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (16°)

Venus/ Pluto is the crisis between the surface of relationships versus darker truths underneath. The uncomfortable issues, symbolized by Pluto, will create tension that draws your awareness to inconvenient truths. This tension can manifest as obsessive attractions, jealousy or manipulative one- on- one exchanges.

The separating Neptune/Lilith conjunction challenges precise, correct relationship agreements (Juno). BML is the other woman/whore/witch and Juno is the “good wife”. These extreme symbols will be in play somehow, even if it’s someone’s distorted view of the virgin/whore dichotomy. 

In this case, Lilith is the slippery seductress and Juno is the faithful “virgin.” As outdated as these manifestations may be, they still hold power over some people. You may be surprised to discover untapped feelings of guilt or judgment toward yourself or someone else who embodies Lilith or Juno.

Along with the subterranean truth of the Venus/ Pluto square, the Lilith/Juno opposition can reveal some interesting relationship dynamics.

September 26th, 2019: Sun Opposite Chiron And Mercury Square Pluto

  • Libra Sun opposite Chiron RX in Aries (3°)

  • Mercury in Libra square Pluto RX in a Capricorn (20°)

The theme today is harmony challenged by uncomfortable truths. Don’t expect things to go smoothly, but there will be extreme valueI in the tension.

The Sun illuminates Chiron’s pain or vulnerability but you may experience it through another. The opposition is an aspect of projection and Libra strongly emphasizes protection. So this could involve projected wounds, or seeing your pain reflected in the eyes of another. Social or relationship purposes can be compromised by wounds that are not owned. Feeling like a victim (everyone is out to get you) is a possibility.

On the plus side, there is a chance to access empathy through another’s difficulties. Keep an eye out for unbalanced situations where a wound becomes the main purpose. Consider if there is a way to correct that imbalance by courageously confronting what hurts. Make the switch from victim to warrior.

Note that the Sun conjoined Chiron On March 22 at 1° Aries. This oppositionIs the result of what began around that date.

Mercury/Pluto will add some difficult but valuable undertones to the above. The crisis between socially acceptable words versus dark truths will create pleasant conversations with a sharp or manipulative edge. Pay attention to the tone and how someone’s words make you feel, even if that feeling seems contrary to what they’re saying. This means you’re becoming aware of the passive- aggressive or obscured desire for power/fear of losing power.

Pluto in any aspect to Mercury always reveals rich truths. The darker the truth the richer it is. This can give you more fuel to deal with the Sun/ Chiron opposition. If you stay on your toes and really listen to what’s being said, you’ll gain access to the entire picture; it will be uncomfortable but very fruitful.

September 19th, 2019: Power In The Details

  • Waning Trine between the Taurus Moon and Virgo Sun (26 deg)

  • Mars in Virgo trine Pluto Rx in Capricorn (20 deg)

The Waning Trine integrates comfort with details and stability with small improvements. It’s time to share what you’ve been refining – enjoy the fruits of your labour and preserve what you’ve been perfecting. Take pride in the value of what you’ve done: people will be open to your solutions or assistance. The Waning Trine always involves interaction with others in some way.

Mars/Pluto is a potent enabler of the above, as precise actions are powered up by will or passion. This is the “make it happen” aspect – you can push through a problem, manifest a solution or create physical transformation in a health, service or organizational context. You have power over the details and can tap into the power within the details.

Overall, these aspects encourage you to reach out and just do it. The vibe is careful but effective, grounded but passionate and others will recognize your mastery.

September 8th, 2019: Power, Not Distraction

  • Virgo Sun square Jupiter in Sagittarius (15 deg)

  • Virgo Sun trine the Capricorn South Node (15 deg)

  • Mercury in Virgo trine Pluto Rx in Capricorn (20 deg)

Sun/Jupiter (part of the mutable T-Square) can exaggerate pride/purpose in the “right” thing or tons of information. There can be over-the-top enthusiasm when it comes to getting things just so and delivering knowledge. Too, Virgo worries (what if it’s not good enough/what if something bad happens) can be triggered, because Jupiter amplifies everything.

If you find yourself overwhelmed with anxiety, self-righteousness or facts, know that the Sun’s trine to the South Node can anchor you via rules and tradition. Lean on something from the past – set boundaries that come naturally.

Mercury/Pluto will also help, as precise communication/investigation is empowered. Targeted words and thoughts can drill right through the worries and distractions. There’s power in knowing the details but also in knowing exactly when you’ve said enough – a few, carefully chosen facts are more effective than an avalanche of information.

August 20th, 2019: Keep Striving

  • Moon in Aries square Pluto Rx in Capricorn (21 deg)

  • Waning Trine between the Aries Moon and Leo Sun (27 deg)

The Moon/Pluto square is a crisis of power versus initiative. The Aries Moon represents something new and impulsive while Pluto Rx adds an extra push, motivated by fear of being controlled or losing control.

This can be a very aggressive influence with manipulative undertones. Usually, Aries is upfront and honest, but the Pluto square suggests hidden motivations. There may be a struggle to break away from authority.

Nonetheless, the pressure of this crisis can propel you into the Waning Trine, an easier influence that involves sharing your energy with others. Aggressive beginnings will flow into something you can be proud of, as others sit up and take notice. Or, an initial power struggle/compulsive effort can help you break through a barrier and reach others.

The takeaway is that you should keep trying, even when confronted with initial resistance. Acknowledge what’s going on beneath, so it doesn’t control you. But keep striving for that breakthrough because there’s light on the horizon.

August 14th, 2019: Sun Conjunct Venus

  • Sun conjunct Venus (21 deg Leo)

  • Sun and Venus inconjunct Pluto Rx (21 deg Capricorn)

Sun/Venus illuminates what you want – a point of pride, romance, creativity or celebration. Everything is bold and out in the open, with added drama. Excellent for making your wants known, for celebrating yourself or starting a new situation on a bright note.

But the inconjunct to Pluto adds a thread of dark compulsion. You may want this more than you realize; watch for jealousy or possessiveness to sneak in. Pluto adds an uneasy sliver of insecurity as the bright thing is questioned. Is this for real? Is it/he/she all yours? Do they really love you?

While power dynamics must be acknowledged (ignore Pluto at your peril) don’t allow manipulation or insecurity to undermine what is an otherwise beautiful moment. Yes, there’s something in the shadows but it doesn’t have to stain what’s in the light. Be smart, stay aware and enjoy what this influence has to offer. Rise above coercion or jealousy – if one person wins it doesn’t mean another has to lose (Pluto can add an underhanded competitive streak).
