Mars conjoins Pluto at 15 degrees Capricorn. This is the ultimate manifestation aspect: actions are a direct conduit for what’s ready to come into being, or what’s ready to end. This can be empowering or brutal, depending on your focus and level of awareness. The last Mars/Pluto conjunction occurred on November 10, 2014 at 11 degrees, and the next one will happen on April 26th, 2018 at 21 degrees. Each conjunction refers to the previous one, building on or completing what was initiated. Whether you’re wrapping something up or setting something in motion, know that what you do matters, on an immediate, physical level. Act accordingly – focused, direct, efficient. Because Mars/Pluto can be ruthless, awareness of consequences is essential.

October 17th, 2016: Venus in Scorpio Aspects Vesta and Ceres, Pallas Stations Direct

Venus in Scorpio trines Vesta, at 29 degrees Cancer, and makes an inconjunct to Ceres Rx, at 29 degrees Aries. The focus on what you love will deepen, and the flow may become almost obsessive. The greater the intensity of devotion, the greater the tension between this and something independent that’s being nurtured.

Vesta and Ceres are squaring each other (this aspect was exact on October 16th), triggering a crisis between birth/rebirth (Ceres) and devotion (Vesta). Focus in one area will clash with nurturing in another area. Compulsive attraction/love (Venus in Scorpio) will trigger this issue. Vesta is associated with purity (purity of intent, discipline) and Ceres is associated with mothering. When the two are at odds, difficulties with children and parental roles can come up. 

The solution is to not plunge so far into what you want, that you forget about what’s struggling to be free. Love that is one thousand fathoms deep is powerful, but it can drown the independent spark. Love deeply, love completely, but make sure you can see the light on the surface.  

Pallas in Aquarius stations direct, at 18 degrees. The unconventional pattern that’s been under review since August 12th, 2016 (when Pallas Rx reentered Aquarius) is now complete. You can move forward with it, or let it go.

October 13th, 2016: Mercury in Libra Square Mars, Ceres Rx into Aries

Mercury in Libra squares Mars, at 11 degrees Capricorn. Irritation and anger will colour today’s communication. The drive to make your point can upset the social balance. Too, someone may challenge your ideas. But due to Libra’s polite mask, disagreements may be expressed through a gritted-teeth smile. 

Ceres Rx reenters Aries. Since July 17th, 2016 she has nurtured the growth of values/resources/self-sufficiency in Taurus. Now, she revisits a beginning that may have occurred when she first entered Aries (April 14th, 2016). This Rx ingress will take you back to an initiation/resurrection. Is it still valid? Has its promise been fully developed? There’s a reason it’s up for review. With Mars (ruler of Aries) challenging Mercury, we can expect part of today’s tense discussions to be triggered by this review.

October 11th, 2016: A Day of Promise

Today’s influences hit all the right notes –  enthusiasm, harmony and acceptance, with a touch of magic. If you have something to launch, submit or attempt, today’s overall ease and opportunity can help. 

Mercury in Libra conjoins Jupiter, at 6 degrees. Jupiter expands Mercury’s wit and verbal grace, and Mercury puts Jupiter’s beliefs into words. Discussions will be open and hopeful. Excellent for introductions or any social function where it’s essential to be polite and positive. This aspect gives all one-on-one communication an optimistic spin, so if you’re trying to make amends or find something to talk about, Mercury/Jupiter can inject fresh perspective and ideas. 

Continuing the open-minded trend, the Libra Sun trines Pallas Rx, at 18 degrees Aquarius. Odd patterns are given a social outlet. Something that’s too revolutionary for polite company has a better chance of being accepted. And, the Moon conjoins Pallas Rx, making this part of a Waxing trine between the Sun and Moon. This part of the lunar cycle makes integration easier. Events ease forward and understanding grows. Libra and Aquarius blend group dynamics with one-on-one connections. 

Venus at 21 degrees Scorpio conjoins Juno and trines Chiron Rx in Pisces. Love and profound commitment merge, while Chiron adds a shot of empathy. Unconditional expressions of fidelity come from the acceptance of each other’s wounds. Pain is shared and makes the relationship stronger.  

Mars in Capricorn makes a sextile to Neptune Rx in Pisces, at 9 degrees. This is an aspect of gentle manifestation, as Mars’ determined actions ground Neptune’s dreams. A vision can be solidified, as you work to integrate magic into the real world.
