  • Mercury in Scorpio trine Neptune RX in Pisces (16°)

This is a gentle influence that can be deeply satisfying. Intimate words/thoughts or the investigation of secrets will be enabled as boundaries imperceptibly dissolve. You may not be able to put your finger on the exact moment this happens, but you will notice that words come flooding out or your attention is drawn naturally in a certain direction.

Normally uncomfortable/taboo subjects can be easily accessed. Neptune’s influence reminds you that what seems dark and all-encompassing can be transcended. Your perspective can be gently widened, which can increase compassion for yourself and others.

This aspect will repeat:

  • November 13th (Mercury RX):15°

  • November 28th (Mercury direct): 15°

15 to 16° of the Water signs Is a prime area for this enhanced flow, so take note if you have anything In these signs and degrees.

October 9th, 2019: Sun Inconjunct Neptune

  • Sun in Libra inconjunct Neptune RX in Pisces (16°)

This tricky aspect can see you misinterpreting a partnership issue or attempting to completely avoid compromise. Pride and purpose can be dissolved if you lose your sense of self to another.

Neptune whispers that there is something that transcends your one-on-one connections. There is more at stake than the partnership, or your social life. The key will be maintaining that balance between the reality of your relationships versus the understanding that it’s not all about your relationships. Neptune is transpersonal and encompasses everyone.

When you feel delusion or misunderstanding creeping into your relationships, take a step back and try to distance yourself. See where that point of balance is between you and another and then consider the bigger issue. Is more compassion needed? Have you been caring too much about making others happy? 

In general, this aspect can make it difficult to maintain your centre in any one -on -one contact. There will be doubts about how to express your ego, and you may err on the side of sacrificing your pride for the sake of harmony.

September 24th, 2019: Relationships are Favoured

  • Mercury in Libra inconjunct Neptune RX in Pisces (16°)

  • Mercury in Libra sextile Jupiter in Sagittarius (17°)

  • Venus in Libra sextile Ceres in Sagittarius (11°)

  • Saturn in Capricorn trine Juno in Virgo (13°)

Mercury/Neptune is a caution to balance truth with sensitivity. What’s unspoken or suspected should be honored, but don’t allow it to undermine your objectivity when speaking with others. It can be easy to read too much into what you think the other person is saying. But the more dominant aspect of Mercury/Jupiter should counteract this with a shot of balanced wisdom and optimism. Overall, communication with others will be open minded and inclusive.

Venus/Ceres adds a smooth touch to all relationships. One-on-one exchanges will be nurturing but not smothering. This aspect suggests acceptance and objective empathy for all. This also has a light touch- no one is being forced to conform or stay.

For those who want reassurance, Saturn/Juno ensures the firm commitment. Juno in Virgo is the detailed agreement-nothing is overlooked and there is a shared desire to improve. Saturn nails it down with an official commitment or steadfast rules.

Overall, any one-on-one exchange is favoured today.

September 21st, 2019: Crises and Opportunity

  • Third Quarter Square between the Gemini Moon and Virgo Sun (28 deg)

  • Jupiter in Sagittarius square Neptune Rx in Pisces (16 deg)

The 3rd Quarter Square triggers a crisis between rigid perfection versus flexible choices. The Virgo Sun offers a set way of doing things; routines and solutions are grounded in practical knowledge. The Gemini Moon raises awkward questions- suddenly there are multiple choices and more than one way of being correct. You may want to stick with what works, but it’s time to look at additional options. This is about the tension between precision and flexibility. Is what you know the final word? It might be time to question the diagnosis.

The final Jupiter/ Neptune square also occurs today. Here we have another crisis-Jupiter’s ideals and wisdom versus Neptune’s dreams. Watch for exaggerated hopes and beliefs as both Jupiter and Neptune push the limits (Neptune dissolves and Jupiter expands). You believe there’s more/better or you think you know more.

The previous two squares occurred on January 13th and June 16th, so this is not a new issue. If you’ve been wrestling with the tendency to overdo it or you’ve gotten swept away in an unrealistic belief, this final square will unveil the truth. This can also be your final test of faith.

I should add that Jupiter and Neptune in any aspect can bring a lucky shot of transcendence that lifts you up and over. So within the swirling crisis and delusion there can be a vein of gold. Pay attention to the opportunity that emerges in an unexpected way, even if the surrounding situation is stressful. What new possibilities are you perceiving? Maybe you went too far but this revealed something better. Maybe you believed the false promise but your eyes were opened to a better truth.

Look at what’s expanded in your life. And remember you’re in the Third Quarter Phase- ask those questions.

September 10th, 2019: Sun in Virgo Opposes Neptune

  • Virgo Sun opposite Neptune Rx in Pisces (17 deg)

This is a difficult aspect as Neptune dissolves the Sun’s purpose and undermines pride. Virgo’s details and solutions are blurred, so the Sun may illuminate anxiety and doubt. If your ego relies on making it perfect or being useful, you’ll encounter failure under this influence.

The opposition can signal an ending that manifests as a fade-away, or a result that reveals more questions than answers. You probably won’t see the truth clearly, so assume that the situation is not accurate.

Rather than attempting to define the issue or make it flawless, use this energy to release guilt, inferiority or the endless attempts to fix what cannot be fixed. Rather than getting caught up in the victim/martyr dynamic, decide that the best you can do is offer compassion (for yourself, especially). If something fades, just let it go.
