  • 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).

August 9th, 2019: Make The Reality Work For You

  • Venus in Leo inconjunct Saturn Rx in Capricorn (15 deg)

  • Pluto Rx in Capricorn trine Vesta in Taurus (21 deg)

Venus/Saturn adds a bit of grit to the Venus/Jupiter trine. There are certain rules or limits which cannot be ignored, and they’ll cast a shadow over what you want. You may not get everything you desire, or there will be moments when you feel less than beautiful/worthy. Although the overall vibe is bright, bountiful and beautiful, Saturn is there to remind you of a specific reality. As you bump up against that limit, acknowledge it but don’t allow it to put out your fire.

Pluto/Vesta is empowered focus on resources/security, or empowering yourself by devoting your energies to what’s essential. There can be a fixation on physical matters, and the harmony of the trine encourages you to transform an existing situation by giving it your full attention. There’s great manifestation potential here, and the key is Pluto Rx’s concentrated deconstruction and excavation of current structures. Dig deeper, redefine the rules and use this to strengthen your material security or physical stamina.

This connects back to Venus/Saturn, as Saturn rules Capricorn and Venus rules Taurus. There’s a clue on how to handle the Saturn inconjunct – use the current realities and enforced focus to your advantage.

July 31st, 2019: Mercury Direct With a Spot of Tension

  • Mercury stations direct (23 deg Cancer)

  • Mars in Leo square Vesta in Taurus (18 deg)

  • Pluto Rx in Capricorn square Pallas in Libra (21 deg)

Mercury

Mercury stationed Rx on July 7th, but on July 31st its retrograde ends at 11:57 PM EDT. Watch for clarity, progress and direct communication of all emotional (Cancer) matters. It should be easier to talk about what you need or make decisions, even if they’re saturated in subjective feelings.

Mars/Vesta

Actions (Mars) based on pride or attention will conflict with the focus (Vesta) on security. You may feel blocked from fully putting yourself out there due to rigid devotion to what’s safe and predictable. Then again, bold (or pushy) actions may conflict with saving money and preserving what’s essential. The solution to this crisis is deciding what’s important to hang onto versus what demands expression or a bit of risk.

Pluto/Pallas

Pallas in Libra is balanced strategies (usually involving a one-on-one relationship) but when she is challenged by Pluto there can be attempts to manipulate that throw off the balance. Consider where there’s pressure find a solution or if you’re obsessing about making it work/winning to the point where you shut things down. The enforced solution doesn’t benefit anyone.
