  • 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.

October 21st, 2019: Crisis and Action

  • Last Quarter Square between the Cancer Moon and Libra Sun (27°)

  • Mars in Libra square the Capricorn South Node/Cancer North Node (11°)

  • Venus in Scorpio trine Neptune RX in Pisces (16°)

The Last Quarter Square can trigger difficult questions around balancing your personal needs in a relationship. Maybe you’ve been giving too much or trying so hard to be agreeable that you’ve ignored your core truths. This square will activate a crisis that forces you to consider what you really need and how that compares to what you’ve been giving or receiving.

Adding to the tension, Mars squaring the Nodes can make it very difficult to act or express anger. It may feel like everything you do is out of step with the current. This is actually a reminder to pause and consider the choice that’s been active since September 22nd (Mercury, Venus and the Sun in Libra have squared the Nodes since that date)-the value of old rules/traditions/judgments versus a more authentic path forward that is aligned with what you need. 

The Cancer Moon rules the North Node so this is very much about stepping away from familiar but limiting habits and moving towards what’s unfamiliar but authentic. Maybe a responsibility needs to be wrapped up before you step forward. Any action you take should move you towards the North Node.

There is a harmonious connection between Venus and Neptune-this energy promises unconditional love, easy intimacy or a smooth immersion into what you want. While today’s actions will be tricky, attracting, allowing and opening yourself up to something you trust should be effortless (as long as you’re willing to go all the way). Note that Venus rules Libra, so this takes us back to the Third Quarter Square: diving into what’s authentic can be part of the answer to this crisis.

October 18th, 2019: Balancing Objective With Subjective

by  •

  • Waning Trine between the Gemini Moon and Libra Sun (25°)

  • Libra Sun inconjunct Vesta RX in Taurus (25°)

The Waning Trine enables dissemination of information in a balanced way. Excellent for all communication matters, especially in a one-on-one capacity. Others will be receptive to what you know and will offer something in return. This is light, sociable energy that’s a bit irreverent: good for chatting with others and making random but pleasant connections.

But there is one, small point of tension- the inconjunct indicates difficulties balancing objective concerns with subjective focus. What’s happening today is not all about you, but you still have to integrate a primary focus on personal security/ finances/preservation. The smooth energy of the trine should dominate, but don’t ignore the small twinge that reminds you to consider your own interests.

October 14th, 2019: Shadow Issues

  • Libra Sun square Pluto in Capricorn (20°)

  • Ceres in Sagittarius square Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (18°)

Continuing the energy of yesterday’s Full Moon, the Sun/Pluto square illuminates the shadow side of relationships. Power, fear of loss or jealousy will be underneath the surface. Scenarios are polite on the outside, but you’re not imagining the undercurrent of tension or intensity.

This aspect can indicate manipulative social situations or a death/crisis that completely changes the balance in a relationship. 

Ceres/BML is a crisis between the Great Mother and the Dangerous Woman. As the significator of nurturing, loss and rebirth, Ceres in Sag can mean the expansion of that cycle or hope for life in the future. But BML is a dark current that cuts across Ceres’ forward momentum-the witch/other woman/ sexual disruptor can challenge efforts to nurture or can undermine faith.  There could be a showdown between the mother and the seductress, or a crisis between mothering versus undefined sexuality.

October 13th, 2019: Sun Sextile Jupiter

  • Libra Sun sextile Jupiter in Sagittarius (20°)

Here is a balanced expression of hope and wisdom. Social justice and issues of partnership right/wrong will be themes. Equitable growth and delivery of the truth is possible, but the harmony of this aspect means you’ll have to make an effort. Focus on what you know is right for both parties, and if someone is presenting you with a new perspective, keep an open mind. 

This energy is socially enthusiastic and confident, and is part of today’s Full Moon. If you’re aware of this energy, it can help to balance out some of this Moon’s heaviness.
