Mercury Rx in Aries trine Saturn Rx in Sagittarius: 2…
The reevaluation of relationships, finances and self-esteem (which began on March 4th when Venus stationed Rx in Aries) is now complete. You should have a greater understanding of what something’s worth. Of what you’re worth. Venus’ station is very close to Chiron in Pisces, so this understanding will involve compassionate acceptance of a wound. Moving forward means forgiving yourself or forgiving someone else. Accepting (Pisces) that it/you/they are not perfect. And, you’re going to stop reopening the wound. This is crucial. Forgiveness does not mean allowing the hurtful situation to continue. Remember – you’re moving forward.
Venus will be involved with the Saturn square, until April 21st. Progress may not feel like progress. You might wonder if there’s any movement at all. During this time, it’s important that you don’t give up. You have turned a corner. Trust this. Saturn is defining your new reality (maybe your new values) and there’s a task ahead of you. It’s the same task that you were aware of when this square first began (April 8th) but now you’re ready to lean into it. You’re done mopping up the spills of the past, and you can focus all your energy on this. Saying goodbye can be a bigger job than you imagined.
And let’s just say the work continues until April 30th, when the square between Saturn Rx and Chiron in Pisces perfects at 27 degrees. The painful limits implied by this aspect are being felt now. And the limits may continue until the end of the month. But Venus direct is leaving the party – one layer has been removed, one issue has been dealt with. That’s one less thing to worry about.
If you have any planets/points from 26 to 27 degrees of the Mutable signs, you’re in the zone for the Venus/Saturn/Chiron dance. Money, love or self-worth has reached a crisis point, but you’re in the home stretch.
As Mercury slows and shifts gears in Taurus, the usual Rx themes apply: reviews, corrections, delays and people changing their minds. This will happen in the context of security and fixed plans (Taurus).
The sure thing may not be so sure. The idea you’re banking on will be up for review. You’ll be tempted to stubbornly cling to the initial choice or promise, but you’re better off considering the alternatives. Even if those alternatives include a delay.
It may help if you focus on the value of what’s happening. What is the initial plan/promise worth? Mercury Rx suggests there may be more value beneath the surface, revealed in the retrograde process. Or, you may discover the initial idea is worthless.
A reminder that we now have four Rx planets (Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury). Venus will station direct on April 15th, indicating a small shift in one area. From April 9th to April 15th, try not to project ahead – focus on the present, or attend to issues from the past that have reentered your life.
