November 4th, 2019: First Quarter Square And Mars/Lilith Tension

by  •

  • First Quarter Square between the Aquarius Moon and Scorpio Sun (11°)

  • Mars in Libra inconjunct Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (20°)

The 1st Quarter Square triggers a crisis between immersion versus detachment. Something that’s been absorbing you requires a different perspective. There may be a surprise or abrupt shock of clarity that pulls you back. This will feel uncomfortable, but the correct action is to step away. Perhaps you need to become more independent or detach yourself from the situation altogether. 

Mars/BML indicates a disconnect between socially acceptable actions versus taboo female sexuality. Since Mars also describes male energy, there is a disconnect between male and female. Rather than outright hostility, there will be misunderstandings. Surface actions will be out of step with the undefined yet powerful undercurrent of the female outsider: the other woman, the witch, the woman whose sexuality does not fit neatly into any category. 

Consider if your attempts to act fairly are denying something more powerful. Or, perhaps someone else’s efforts are glossing over your truths. At the same time, certain compromises must be made.

November 3rd, 2019: Venus Trine Chiron, Juno Into Libra

John William Waterhouse

  • Venus in Sagittarius trine Chiron RX in Aries (2°)

  • Juno enters Libra

Venus/Chiron is upbeat and healing energy. Exploring new areas of what you want or love can help you deal with wounds in a natural, unforced way. Independence, courage and faith in the future are emphasized; don’t be afraid to take a chance on something desirable. You may find that your vulnerabilities or differences fuel exploration and even add to your appeal.

Juno is comfortable in Libra, the sign of partnerships. One-on-one agreements and issues of fidelity can be explored with detached fairness. Equality in agreements will be very important. But if there are any imbalances in a relationship, this transit can bring them to light. 

Consider if you’re a partner or subordinate.

Note that Juno will station retrograde in Libra, so she will be in this sign for an unusually long time (until September 2020, dates and degrees below). This tells us that there are some significant Issues around partnership power balances that need to be worked out.

October 28th, 2019: Sun Opposite Uranus, Mars Inconjunct Neptune

  • Sun in Scorpio opposite Uranus Rx in Taurus (4°)

  • Mars in Libra inconjunct Neptune RX in Pisces (16°)

Sun/Uranus continues the influence of yesterday’s New Moon. There is a contradictory surge of liberation in Fixed signs that strive to maintain control. There may be illumination from the depths (Scorpio) that highlights an abrupt upgrade to habits, finances or values. At the same time, the upgrade may encourage you to break away from secrets, taboos or unhealthy merging. The tension between change and preservation can make this energy feel even more radical than usual as it triggers anxieties about loss of control or the sudden reveal of what’s been hidden.

Mars/Neptune can make relationship efforts very tricky. You may want to initiate an exchange while dealing with the urge to give up or give in. The results can be misguided or severely unbalanced efforts. Some action is necessary but you have to proceed very carefully. Pay attention to unspoken beliefs, anxieties or fantasies that can throw you off course. You may be striving for something selfless or compassionate, but it can be easy to tip over into sacrificial or passive.

October 27th, 2019: Mars Square Saturn

by  •

  • Mars in Libra square Saturn in Capricorn (15°)

This aspect is about blocked actions that trigger an imbalance of authority. Social rules and traditions may be oppressive, and the crisis manifests as a Waning Square. This means immediate actions are not appropriate, but questions are.

Even if you wanted to take action, I don’t think you could. But pay attention to the discomfort and questions that are raised. How does the imbalance of authority affect you? What can you do to correct that imbalance? There are certain limits that you simply cannot push past-will you continue to obey them? What compromises can you make?

Is the effort worth it? If it is, what are you willing to endure?

This can be a very frustrating aspect that signifies repressed anger or a fruitless struggle. There will be something unfair about what’s happening. This aspect will relate back to the Mars/Saturn conjunction at 8° Capricorn on April 2nd, 2018. That is when this issue began, with focused efforts, ambition or a need for extra work. Now you’re nearing the end of this cycle with questions about the rules versus your efforts. Think back to the beginning, about what you were trying to make real.

October 26th, 2019: Challenge For The Libra Moon

by  •

  • Libra Moon square the Nodes (10°)

  • Libra Moon conjunct Mars (14°)

  • Libra Moon square Saturn in Capricorn (15°)

Aspects from the Moon can be felt as passing influences, but sometimes they are enough to trigger a major issue.

The square to the Capricorn South Node/Cancer North Node highlights a difficult choice between familiar traditions/rules versus unknown but more authentic, emotional situations. The Moon rules the North Node which tells us that this is about balancing (Libra) your needs against existing rules. Ideally, you want to move forward (towards the NN) but there will be a struggle to maintain that balance. You may be dealing with a relationship or conventional social situation.

As the Moon joins Mars, watch for a sudden flare up of passion, anger or impulse. There will be an urge to act now, and you may be dealing with passive- aggressive behaviour or the need to be polite. And then the Moon runs into a square with Saturn; any momentum that you developed will come to a halt. Saturn is ruler of the SN, so those issues from the past cannot be ignored. Before you move forward, you must deal with someone in authority and temporarily accept that you’ll be on your own. Despite the poke from Mars, this is not the time to let your feelings run wild. Restraint, maturity and focus on the endgame (the NN) are your goals.

It takes a certain type of strength to achieve balanced restraint: that’s what’s being asked of you today.
