March 14th, 2017: Limited Healing And A Venus Rx Crisis
- Sun conjunct Pallas and Chiron in Pisces: 24 degrees
- Pallas conjunct Chiron in Pisces: 24 degrees
- Venus Rx in Aries square Juno in Capricorn: 10 degrees
Pallas and Chiron unite creative wisdom with wounds. Here is a prime opportunity to apply a solution (not just a band aid) to an area of difficulty. This won’t involve pure logic – intuition will be crucial. The Sun will bring this situation to life, and activate the sore spot. Watch for a pattern – how does the wound connect to other areas of your life?
Having said this, know that the Sun is applying to a square with Saturn in Sagittarius (at 27 degrees) exact on March 17th. There will be restrictions, and the totality of healing may be limited. Meaning, this is not a magic wand – scars and aches will remain. Or, the necessary solution will be painful. But limits will force you to concentrate on what you can heal. What you must heal. Saturn=the work you have to do. Don’t discount the effectiveness of Pallas/Chiron; if you’re backed into a corner, you’ll have wisdom at your disposal.
Venus Rx/Juno raise questions about freedom and values in committed partnerships. The rules of the contract between you and another will be challenged. One partner may feel repressed. The key issue will be how a newly emerging version of self creates tension within a relationship: change is inevitable.

February 6th, 2017: Questioning Your Expectations
Venus’ Transit of Aries and Venus Rx
http://ineedchemicalx.deviantart.com/
Venus enters Aries on February 3rd. The planet of relationships, money, self-esteem and values is in her opposite sign here. Technically, her detriment. Venus’ focus on relationships doesn’t sit easily in this “me first” sign. However, self-esteem and initiative can soar, if you’re ready to put yourself first.
The desire for something new is pronounced. This is the perfect time to view yourself in a bold, new light -personal image, creative projects or social contacts (for business or pleasure) can benefit from a bit of impulse and confidence. New attractions can be hot and fast-moving, but there’s no guarantee they’ll last.
The initial draw towards something/someone can be all-consuming, which is great for starting things. The courage to go after what you want will increase, because Venus in Aries loves a challenge. If something’s not quite available, it becomes ultra-desirable. Competition is sexy. This will be enhanced by Mars in Aries.
Mars and Venus will be activating the same section of your chart until March 9th. The two won’t meet up, but there will be a combo of action and attraction that’s quite effective.
Will you get what you want, and will it last? Some of it will. But some of what occurs will only grab your attention and remind you that you’re still alive. After the catalyst pushes you out of a rut, the attraction/situation will burn out. Even if this happens, you’ll still be in a brand new place, ready to keep moving forward.
Venus will square Juno in Capricorn on February 3rd – her transit will be immediately marked by the tension between new relationship impulses versus existing rules and commitments.
Venus Rx
This transit will feature Venus retrograde in Aries and Pisces. New attractions/results will be put on hold. You’ll be reviewing the excitement, to see if it’s more than just a hot flash. Is there enough fuel for the fire to last? Newly expressed values and confidence will be tested. Are you courageous enough to keep running with what you’ve started? Are you strong enough to keep putting yourself first? Venus Rx can also reconnect you to a love interest from the past.
As Venus Rx backs into Pisces, the new impulse will be further tested. Before it can continue, something will need to be released. It’s notable that she’ll make two squares to Saturn in Sag. This will take you back to the Venus/Saturn square (and Aquarius New Moon) of January 27th. The limits you encountered then will be repeated, as a final test. A demand of proof that the new developments are real. This test will involve your courage, independence and strength of will. Your commitment to something new may be tested. Or, an existing commitment in the face of something new (and more exciting) may be tested. Aries can be immature, and that won’t cut it under a Venus/Saturn square. There’s a difference between confidence and bratty self-entitlement.
Once Venus stations direct and reenters Aries, you’ll know if the situation is a keeper. You’ll know if you can sustain what you started.
Here are the aspects Venus in Aries/Pisces will make:
- Feb 3rd: square Juno in Capricorn (0 deg)

Venus Retrograde 2017 ~ Dangerous Liaisons
Venus retrograde 2017 lasts from March 4 to April 15 and spans 13º Aries back to 26º Pisces. The chart for the actual station is dramatic! The sort that makes a good romantic romp. Uranus/Eris are set aflame by a swooning Jupiter in Libra opposite. There is a passionate stellium in Aries which divides Venus from her […]

January 4th, 2017: Questioning the Big Idea

- Mercury Rx into Sagittarius
Mercury’s retrograde in Capricorn called for a review of the rules. As Mercury backs into Sagittarius, the review will expand to include what lies beyond the rules: faith, truth (or lies) hopes and ideals. The big picture will be questioned, and a promise from the past may have to be delivered on, or dropped. After looking closely at the structure, the big idea may not hold up. You may have to redo more than anticipated.
Fortunately, you won’t have to go back too far back. Mercury will only make it to 28 degrees Sagittarius. Then it will station direct on January 8th.

Sun/Mercury Rx can uncover answers, or spotlight the return of someone from your past. News, conversations or reconnections will give you more to go on, but nothing’s final. Rather, this aspect encourages you to ask more questions or continue the review. Will the structure hold? Is the commitment real? Where are the weak spots? Mars adds gentle initiative – keep looking, thinking, considering and act accordingly.
Rules, denial or obligations define (Saturn) the wound (Chiron). The crisis of the square will make this influence especially tense and unpleasant. But the square is an active aspect. Chiron is meant to be confronted, so use the tension to do that. Mars’ influence on Sun/Mercury Rx encourages you to take action, in light of what you hear or learn (just remember it’s Mercury Rx).
The Capricorn/Saturn influence is dominant. This means maturity and self-control are your sharpest tools.
These influences are part of the Capricorn New Moon.
