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

  • Mercury in Libra sextile Jupiter in Sagittarius (17°)

  • Venus in Libra sextile Ceres in Sagittarius (11°)

  • Saturn in Capricorn trine Juno in Virgo (13°)

Mercury/Neptune is a caution to balance truth with sensitivity. What’s unspoken or suspected should be honored, but don’t allow it to undermine your objectivity when speaking with others. It can be easy to read too much into what you think the other person is saying. But the more dominant aspect of Mercury/Jupiter should counteract this with a shot of balanced wisdom and optimism. Overall, communication with others will be open minded and inclusive.

Venus/Ceres adds a smooth touch to all relationships. One-on-one exchanges will be nurturing but not smothering. This aspect suggests acceptance and objective empathy for all. This also has a light touch- no one is being forced to conform or stay.

For those who want reassurance, Saturn/Juno ensures the firm commitment. Juno in Virgo is the detailed agreement-nothing is overlooked and there is a shared desire to improve. Saturn nails it down with an official commitment or steadfast rules.

Overall, any one-on-one exchange is favoured today.

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 10th, 2019: Sun in Virgo Opposes Neptune

  • Virgo Sun opposite Neptune Rx in Pisces (17 deg)

This is a difficult aspect as Neptune dissolves the Sun’s purpose and undermines pride. Virgo’s details and solutions are blurred, so the Sun may illuminate anxiety and doubt. If your ego relies on making it perfect or being useful, you’ll encounter failure under this influence.

The opposition can signal an ending that manifests as a fade-away, or a result that reveals more questions than answers. You probably won’t see the truth clearly, so assume that the situation is not accurate.

Rather than attempting to define the issue or make it flawless, use this energy to release guilt, inferiority or the endless attempts to fix what cannot be fixed. Rather than getting caught up in the victim/martyr dynamic, decide that the best you can do is offer compassion (for yourself, especially). If something fades, just let it go.

September 7th, 2019: Mercury Opposite Neptune

  • Mercury in Virgo opposite Neptune Rx in Pisces (17 deg)

Neptune dissolves Virgo’s details and insistence on the facts. The result can be the evasion of a problem or refusal to accept a solution. If you’re shying away from the solution, consider why you don’t want to see what’s correct/healthy/better.

The Pisces or Virgo end of this opposition can be emphasized.

When there is an opposition, projection or culmination is involved. Consider if lies or inaccuracies are being assigned to someone else (not the owner). Or, consider if a hard truth is piercing the Neptune bubble and delivering a disappointing result. If there is a disappointment, at least you’re seeing what’s true.

If there’s an exchange of information that depends on precision, you may want to reschedule or have a contingency plan. Neptune can greatly enhance creativity and compassion but will undermine clarity.

This opposition is part of the mutable T-Square.

September 4th, 2019: Venus Opposite Neptune

  • Venus in Virgo opposite Neptune Rx in Pisces (17 deg)

Neptune dissolves Venus in Virgo’s specifics, so facts about relationships, money or self-esteem become blurry. The details of what you want may be vague or take on sacrificial undertones. Perhaps it seems like a good idea to give all in order to prove your love. Or perhaps you’re questioning your value.

Pay attention to what’s undermining the truth about what you want. Watch for the urge to throw it all away because it wasn’t right. An opposition from Neptune is not truth, it’s the release of what you thought you knew. Your first urge (to sacrifice, to debase, to doubt everything) is probably wrong. But what comes after that…

This aspect is part of the T-Square, and it’s tricky. Neptune can expand the desire for slavery or expand your doubts of how valuable/attractive you are. An opposing force can challenge what you thought was correct about love/money. Before you give or doubt, ask questions.

This is the aspect of innocence, as Venus in Virgo’s purity is hi-lighted by Neptune’s transcendence. But with the hard aspect of the opposition, purity can also be a way of avoiding what’s real. The flaws in the elevation of perfection are illuminated.
