October 1st, 2019: Venus Square Pluto and Relationship Dynamics

  • Venus in Libra Square Pluto RX in Capricorn (20°)

  • Neptune RX in Pisces opposite Juno in Virgo (16°)  

  • Juno in Virgo opposite Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (16°)

Venus/ Pluto is the crisis between the surface of relationships versus darker truths underneath. The uncomfortable issues, symbolized by Pluto, will create tension that draws your awareness to inconvenient truths. This tension can manifest as obsessive attractions, jealousy or manipulative one- on- one exchanges.

The separating Neptune/Lilith conjunction challenges precise, correct relationship agreements (Juno). BML is the other woman/whore/witch and Juno is the “good wife”. These extreme symbols will be in play somehow, even if it’s someone’s distorted view of the virgin/whore dichotomy. 

In this case, Lilith is the slippery seductress and Juno is the faithful “virgin.” As outdated as these manifestations may be, they still hold power over some people. You may be surprised to discover untapped feelings of guilt or judgment toward yourself or someone else who embodies Lilith or Juno.

Along with the subterranean truth of the Venus/ Pluto square, the Lilith/Juno opposition can reveal some interesting relationship dynamics.

September 30th, 2019: Lilith and Neptune, Mars and Vesta

  • Neptune RX conjunct Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (16°)

  • Mars in Virgo trine Vesta RX in Taurus (27°)

Neptune can expand or distort Lilith’s power. The dangerous woman can become truly magical as she creates a seductive aura of glamour and transcendent sexuality. She drifts around the rules and dissolves judgments. Open yourself up to what’s potent, forbidden and cast out .

But Neptune can also dissolve self-preservation, so it can be easy to get caught up in the illusion of power that is actually undermining behaviour. BML/Neptune can deceive others and herself- if you’re using sexuality or rule-breaking energy and there’s even a hint that you’re dabbling in something destructive, be careful: Lilith/ Neptune is not who she initially appears to be.

Mars/Vesta can keep you on the right track if you tune into precise, correct actions that are focused on maintaining security. Acting with care and keeping it clean can build something good. Remind yourself of what’s solid and focus on what you know is correct. This influence can confirm what’s sacred: the real, reliable temple you’ve built. This could be your body, your home, your routine.

The Art of Compromise | Starcana Cosmic Dirt

It’s all about relating while struggling to create a form of balance under the next four weeks, as Sun (ego, identity) moves from problem-solving Virgo, and into graceful Libra on the Fall Equinox, Monday September 23.  With Sun in Libra, we are led toward the equality of light and darkness, life and death, order and […]

September 21st, 2019: Crises and Opportunity

  • Third Quarter Square between the Gemini Moon and Virgo Sun (28 deg)

  • Jupiter in Sagittarius square Neptune Rx in Pisces (16 deg)

The 3rd Quarter Square triggers a crisis between rigid perfection versus flexible choices. The Virgo Sun offers a set way of doing things; routines and solutions are grounded in practical knowledge. The Gemini Moon raises awkward questions- suddenly there are multiple choices and more than one way of being correct. You may want to stick with what works, but it’s time to look at additional options. This is about the tension between precision and flexibility. Is what you know the final word? It might be time to question the diagnosis.

The final Jupiter/ Neptune square also occurs today. Here we have another crisis-Jupiter’s ideals and wisdom versus Neptune’s dreams. Watch for exaggerated hopes and beliefs as both Jupiter and Neptune push the limits (Neptune dissolves and Jupiter expands). You believe there’s more/better or you think you know more.

The previous two squares occurred on January 13th and June 16th, so this is not a new issue. If you’ve been wrestling with the tendency to overdo it or you’ve gotten swept away in an unrealistic belief, this final square will unveil the truth. This can also be your final test of faith.

I should add that Jupiter and Neptune in any aspect can bring a lucky shot of transcendence that lifts you up and over. So within the swirling crisis and delusion there can be a vein of gold. Pay attention to the opportunity that emerges in an unexpected way, even if the surrounding situation is stressful. What new possibilities are you perceiving? Maybe you went too far but this revealed something better. Maybe you believed the false promise but your eyes were opened to a better truth.

Look at what’s expanded in your life. And remember you’re in the Third Quarter Phase- ask those questions.

September 20th, 2019: Sun Trine Vesta

  • Virgo Sun trine Vesta in Taurus (27 deg)

Vesta is focus and Virgo is details, so here we have the ultimate combo of precision and fixed focus. The Sun will illuminate an area that’s precious – a resource or survival issue. Specific details will be integrated into the sacred altar: perhaps you can make small but effective improvements to what you’re building.

The details are elevated and attain a level of purity when you see how they contribute to your survival. Use the facts or (yes) critiques as fuel for the flame. Sun in harmony with Vesta finds purpose in pure focus.
