August 24th, 2019: Venus Conjunct Mars in Virgo

  • Venus in Virgo conjunct Mars (4 deg)

  • Venus in Virgo square Ceres in Sagittarius (4 deg)

Venus/Mars is the perfect union of attraction and action. Carefully measured efforts, attention to detail and the motivation to improve can bring exactly (Virgo) what you’re working for. “Working” is the key word – Virgo never takes it easy. Too, this can be about showing (Mars) your love (Venus) by helping/serving/organizing.

But the square to Ceres suggests a conflict between the above and the expansive nurturing of something big or idealistic. The drive for freedom or wisdom will be challenged by the focus on specifics. Efforts to make it better or express love/affection may be fussy or overzealous when compared to more liberated examples of growth.

Consider if your efforts are attracting what you want and how this stacks up against a nurturing ideal.

  • Mercury in Leo trine Ceres in Sagittarius (2 deg)

Bold, dramatic or creative words encourage hope for the future. This is the third and final trine between Mercury in Leo in Ceres:

  • June 29th: Mercury trine Ceres Rx (1 deg)

  • July 18th: Mercury Rx trine Ceres (0 deg)

The conversation or plan may have been developing since June, and now you can confidently move ahead. Nurturing can take the form of learning, urging someone to explore what’s new or urging someone to have faith that they are special. There’s an exciting yet supportive vibe to this, as the warmth of new possibilities leads you forward. A messenger could take the form of a teacher or mentor who nurtures open self-expression and pride.

Rediscovering Our Inner Wild  | Starcana Cosmic Dirt

Do you remember the distraction that happened a few months ago? What we imagined to be our purpose,… where we thought we were going… and the rude intrusion that fell onto our path; was cosmically guiding us onto another road. Since this awkward sense of footing, we’ve been learning how to get back on our […]

August 10th, 2019: Hope With Caution

by  • 

Karl Wilhelm Diefenbach

Karl Wilhelm Diefenbach

  • Waxing Trine between the Sagittarius Moon and Leo Sun (17 deg)

  • Sagittarius Moon square Neptune Rx in Pisces (18 deg)

  • Leo Sun inconjunct Neptune Rx in Pisces (18 deg)

The Waxing Trine promises easy growth of idealism and confidence. There can be an effortless slide towards what’s new and exotic (Sag), with the promise of fun and drama (Leo). The more you learn (Sag) the brighter you’ll shine (Leo). However, the hard aspects to Neptune present a note of caution: the dissolution of limits can create false horizons and questionable wisdom. You may throw yourself into something that undermines your confidence and leads you down the wrong path. You may be proud of what you know or what you’re teaching, and rightly so. But some of that knowledge must be questioned.

Make an effort to discern truth from fabrication. The Sag ideal distorted by the square to Neptune is a crisis between belief versus illusion, wisdom versus wishes – you may want to believe in something so badly that you ignore the parts of the story that don’t add up. The inconjunct to the Leo Sun is a reminder that pride must be tempered with the awareness that there’s something more than your pride. It’s a tricky mix – you don’t want to be a victim but it’s not all about your personal accomplishments.

Consider what Neptune represents: what’s greater than your pride? Look at where the lines of the story are blurred.

July 23rd, 2019: A Day Of Growth

  • Leo Sun trine Ceres in Sagittarius (0 deg)

  • Saturn Rx in Capricorn trine Vesta in Taurus (16 deg)

Ceres in Sag is the optimistic nurturing of something new – an idealistic drive for freedom that is encouraged. Harmonizing with the Sun suggests purpose and pride in this goal. Putting your faith in the growth of adventure, learning or exploration. Having the freedom to express yourself (or encouraging someone to express themselves). Ceres is primarily associated with mother’s nurturing, food and the cycle of life/loss, but this aspect would seem to indicate the growth portion of the cycle.

Saturn/Vesta is grounded focus on what’s real. Money, resources, values and self-esteem can be confirmed and quietly built through work and maturity. Saturn and Vesta indicate focus, and when they combine there is an ultimate fixation on one area. This is about taking your security seriously.

We have two different but complimentary versions of growth. Ceres in Sag is about possibilities while Vesta in Taurus is what you have to work with. Both can increase with confidence (Sun in Leo) and discipline (Saturn).

Protecting Our Inner Circle

If we can quietly observe and reflect in what holds the most importance for our individual growth, we could find an opportunity in this cosmic process of breakdown, to break through. Areas that surround our values, relationships, love and money will be most sensitive this week, with a lonely Venus/Saturn opposition on Wednesday July 17, […]
