Do you remember the distraction that happened a few months ago? What we imagined to be our purpose,… where we thought we were going… and the rude intrusion that fell onto our path; was cosmically guiding us onto another road. Since this awkward sense of footing, we’ve been learning how to get back on our […]

August 11th, 2019: Mercury Into Leo, Jupiter Direct and Uranus Rx
pexels
Mercury re-enters Leo (3:45 PM EDT)
Jupiter stations direct in Sagittarius (14 deg)
Uranus stations Rx in Taurus (6 deg)
If you’ve been waiting for the moment to pick up where you left off, this is it.
After its Rx into Cancer, Mercury returns to Leo. This can reactivate issues from June 26th (Mercury’s first ingress) but now you can move ahead with the bold plans, public words or creative idea. What was left hanging when Mercury stationed Rx will be completed.
See this link for the complete of dates and degrees.
And Jupiter stations direct, continuing the forward momentum. Expansion, exploration, growth or rewards that were put on hold when Jupiter stationed Rx (April 10th) will continue. For some, this means the time out is over. For others, a last chance to pursue a promise/ opportunity or learn as much as they possibly can (Jupiter will exit Sag for Capricorn on Dec 2nd).
However, Uranus will station Rx, which indicates delays in or a concentrated focus of the massive upgrade to resources and habits. The current is still flowing forward (with Jupiter and Mercury) but new sources of income, new values or habits are ready to be reviewed before the change continues. Nonetheless, this is not an excuse to keep waiting.
Uranus Rx will take you back to 2 deg Taurus, where it will station direct on Jan 2nd, 2020. This means if you have anything from 2 to 6 deg of the Fixed or Earth signs, get ready for a significant repeat hit of Uranus. 2 to 6 deg of the Water signs will also get a repeat hit, but not as noticeably.
Wondering how Uranus’ transit of Taurus might apply to you? I’ve written a 30-page ebook that features descriptions of this transit by house, as well as an intro that lays out all the dates and degrees. Click here to purchase and download.
You must have have an accurate time of birth to know what house in your chart Uranus is moving through.

July 29th, 2019: Leo Sun Square Uranus
Photo by Ruslan Alekso from Pexels
Sun in Leo square Uranus in Taurus ( 6 deg)
This is a lead up to the July 31st New Moon. Liberation and clarity can either give you a burst of courage so you really express yourself (in a daring way) or your pride will be seriously shaken: where you thought you were exceptional turns out to be way off the mark. Suddenly, recognition does not matter.
Uranus rules Leo’s opposite sign, so this aspect is about being at the centre in an unusual way, or questioning the value of being at the centre. The outcast celebrity. The king/queen who breaks the rules. Spotlight on eccentricities.
Whichever way this pans out, know that the expected definitions of power will be disrupted. There could be an urge to do something risky as a grab for appreciation. Or, egos could be shaken by radical truths. What you thought was “the best” will be displaced and updated.
Don’t cling to what was – detach (Uranus) from your ego and make room for dramatic new energy. This can aspect can be quite volatile, so others could make bizarrely extreme gestures. Understand that the root is their craving for appreciation and attention, because their old values are collapsing.
If you get the urge to act out, take a minute and consider if you really need to go that far to get attention. Is this a “no going back” scenario? Or, is it time to toss a bomb into the works and see what happens?

Glass Skin
Until last week, I’d never heard of it either — “glass skin”; skin so luminous, transparent and flawless that it might be sculpted from glass. Apparently, it’s the “latest beauty trend”. The marketers of certain cosmetics can hear the kerching of cash tinkling into tills across the globe. Although these days, money changes hands silently, sliding from one account to another with invisible efficiency, so perhaps its more of a slither than a kerching. Glass skin is achieved — apparently — with a 10-step cleansing routine first made popular in Korea, and spread through social media. And there’s the key […]

July 11th, 2019: Mars Square Uranus

Waxing Trine between the Scorpio Moon and Cancer Sun (19 deg)
Mars in Leo trine Chiron Rx in Aries (5 deg)
Mars in Leo square Uranus in Taurus (6 deg)
The Waxing Trine enables harmony between what’s safe/comfortable and what can be very uncomfortable. Intensity blends with familiarity, moving you towards a profound exploration of needs, feelings or family issues. Excellent for accessing secrets or personal issues that no one wants to look at. Now’s the chance to dive in and get comfortable in the deeper waters.
The Mars/Chiron trine continues that theme as bold or confident actions trigger healing through courage. The wound is there, but you’ve got the stuff to confront it and move through it – you can stand out/stand up even though you feel vulernable.
But…Mars also squares Uranus. So there will be jolts, accidents, explosions of anger or unexpected displays. Again the backdrop of these smooth trines we have a surge of electricity – it may be a push into the future or an impatient demand for attention, no matter the cost. Maybe this is what triggers the need to go deeper. And it can certainly open up an opportunity for healing (Chiron) through bold actions (Mars).
Mars/Uranus is risky – Mars in Leo likes to play/gamble/grab attention and a hard aspect to Uranus cranks that up. These energies can result in liberation or breakage – caution is advised. What are you trying to accomplish? The current is moving forward but it’s best if you exercise awareness.

July 8th, 2019: Slow Down, It Hurts

Mercury Rx in Leo conjunct Mars (4 deg)
Venus in Cancer square Chiron in Aries (5 deg)
Venus in Cancer sextile Uranus in Taurus (6 deg)
Chiron stations Rx in Aries (5 deg)
Mercury/Mars
Words and actions unite, but Mercury’s Rx status means one or more of the following:
taking action on a conversation/idea from the past
questioning current actions (look behind the shine)
looking back intensifies the decision to act (it’s time)
a message from the past triggers anger/passion/assertiveness
In general, there’s increased thoughtfulness combined with bold/showy actions. There could be delays, but more likely the second look or question will prompt the actions. This can be a powerful way to manifest, provided you take note of what Mercury Rx is telling you.
Venus/Chiron
Venus’ square to Chiron in Mars-ruled Aries adds another layer to the above. It would appear that the actions are happening in the face of a painful relationship, financial or self-esteem issue. Venus in Cancer is tender, and a hard aspect to Chiron means ultra-sensitive moments where you don’t get what you want (including empathy) or what you want reveals some very awkward feelings. Perhaps this is why Mercury is Rx when joined with Mars – it will be so important to slow down and proceed with care even if you’re asserting yourself with bold words.
However, Venus’ sextile to Uranus (in Venus-ruled Taurus) is hopeful. Despite the pain and tenderness, there’s room to progress, provided you focus on doing things for yourself and liberating yourself from stagnant habits/security needs. Taurus is about self-sufficiency and Uranus is about independence. These energies can support Venus who is (let’s be honest) sometimes quite helpless and needy in Cancer. Look at how you can become more self-sufficient.
And finally, Chiron stations Rx after the “ouch” with Venus. This echoes Mercury’s Rx – more reviews and intensifications. Whatever Venus/Chiron stirred up will amplify what hurts. Chiron Rx can press harder on the wound or force you to slow down and look inside. You can’t ignore it – it’s time to face the pain. You may be called on to display more courage, even though you feel weak. That “weakness” is the entry point and it’s where the healing begins.
Today is the day you assert yourself, with carefully chosen words, in the face of what hurts. Today is the day you take stock of why it hurts.
