  • Sun in Scorpio trines Neptune Rx in Pisces: 9 deg

Scorpio’s esire to push the limits is expanded by Neptune, which dissolves anything solid. It will be easy to dive into something, and the trine’s enabling quality will make it smooth and fast. Before you know it, you’re in over your head. Much depends on where you’re submerging. 

This can be the ultimate blend of passion, empathy and psychic intimacy. Or, you can achieve a deep, dark peace within yourself, if you embrace your shadow (Neptune takes the edge off Scorpio’s fears). Then again, you might slide into an addiction. 

 

 

October 31st, 2016: Drink Deeply From the Past

  • Mercury in Scorpio trine the Pisces South Node/sextile the Virgo North Node: 11 deg
  • Jupiter in Libra inconjunct the South Node: 11 deg

Mercury rules the North Node (an area in front of you that’s ready to be developed), but the South Node trine suggests looking backwards, first. Confront the past and drink deeply from the memories. This will allow you to release or build on them – whatever’s appropriate. You won’t have to question what’s appropriate, because the Scorpio/Pisces mix enables instinctive recognition of the truth. Easy understanding, discoveries or conversations will allow you to move forward.

Tonight’s Samhain – the thinning veil between worlds encourages connection with your ancestors, and this can facilitate this process. 

Jupiter will trigger some minor tension in the above process. The past will need to be balanced with new developments in a social scenario. Expansion (Jupiter) is happening now, and relationships with others must be taken into consideration. But, the enthusiastic leap forward can undermine things if you fail to wrap up an old issue.

The Sun conjoins Mercury in Scorpio, at 4 degrees. Clarity pierces the shadows, revealing secrets or additional layers. This superior conjunction may be connected to September 12th’s inferior conjunction at 20 degrees Virgo (when Mercury was Rx). The facts that were illuminated then are peeled back now. A richer understanding is achieved.

This connects to Venus in Sagittarius’ square to the Mercury-ruled North Node in Virgo/South Node in Pisces, at 11 degrees. Venus in Sag triggers a point of tension. The restless desire to expand or take an emotional/financial leap may bring you to a crossroads. The North Node and Mercury in Scorpio say the way forward involves carrying the facts to their ultimate conclusion. The time for vagueness or escapism is over. If you’re going to jump in, make sure you know exactly how deep the waters are, what you really want, and the potential consequences. No excuses. 

Mars in Capricorn makes a sextile to Chiron Rx in Pisces, at 21 degrees. Quiet healing is achieved with sober, determined actions. Doing what needs to be done, and doing it with focused efficiency, will move you along nicely. Disciplined actions carry you over awkward patches. This will happen so smoothly that one else may notice. But you will. Tackle the sore spot and keep marching forward.
