  • 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.

July 21st, 2019: Dark Truths

  • Sun conjunct Mercury Rx in Cancer (28 deg)

  • Venus in Cancer opposite Pluto Rx in Capricorn (21 deg)

Watch for some uncomfortable truths to be revealed. Sun/Mercury is the midpoint of the Mercury’s Rx, so emotional facts/info should be illuminated. You may gain an understanding of family issues/issues from the past. Or, the return to a past conversation can reveal a truth that you feel and understand.

Venus/Pluto adds an intense conclusion to the above. Pluto unearths dark compulsions, fears, obsessions or desires that lie behind Venus’ money, relationship or self-esteem issues. There can also be a profound “death” in one of these situations. The greater the attraction (or the more powerful the ending) the greater the transformation potential. Venus in Cancer wants safety and comfort, but Pluto insists on pushing things outside the comfort zone.

Oppositions also suggest projection, so these aspects can reveal some interesting facts about what you think you want – often, someone embodies what you need to develop within yourself, and your all-consuming obsession with them is simply a reflection of this.

It may feel as if what you want or have is wrapped up in primal, childhood dynamics. Power/domination can create unbalanced relationships with one partner as parent and the other as child. The Sun/Mercury conjunction will reveal a truth about these dynamics, so keep your eyes open.

July 14th, 2019: Injection of Perspective

  • Waxing Inconjunct between the Sagittarius Moon and Cancer Sun (21 deg)

  • Sun in Cancer opposite Pluto Rx in Capricorn (21 deg)

Challenging energies today, as the Waxing Inconjunct presents an awkward reminder that what’s safe/subjective needs to be adjusted with the bigger picture. Personal or family issues may receive an unwelcome injection of wisdom, education or expansion. You have to look up and out while still considering matters closest to you.

Adding to the discomfort, the Sun opposes Pluto Rx. Pluto is the Shadow, the power play or manipulation. The light of the Sun will expose what’s darkest, revealing the underside of family or deeply subjective concerns. Watch for domestic power plays, increased neediness or a result that indicates the “death” of a familiar situation.

This is where the Waxing Inconjunct will come in handy; as much as you may not want to consider the bigger picture or distant horizon, it’s essential that you factor it into this intense Pluto energy. You need that outside input because it will give you perspective on this heavy situation.
