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.

October 24th, 2019: Black Moon Lilith And Venus

  • Venus in Scorpio trine Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (19°)

  • Moon in Virgo opposite Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (19°)

It’s always nice when Venus and BML harmonize because that indicates a flow between the more typical expressions of  female energy (Venus is about relating) and the atypical, outsider expressions of “dangerous” female sexuality.

Venus in Scorpio is about relating on the deepest possible level. The commitment to intimacy and authenticity is total. Or, perhaps you’re delving into your own hidden resources/taboos. Either way, it’s about being nakedly honest. 

But that doesn’t mean everything is on display, because Venus in Scorpio is very private. This supports expressions of sexual energy that are outside the bounds of convention. BML in Pisces is the witch, because she transcends what’s real and defined. Today’s aspect says that she draws her power from your deepest awareness of what you want, love and value. This may be a very private development for yourself, or between you and another.

What’s interesting is that the Moon (Lilith’s opposite) is actually opposing BML from Virgo. This highlights the contrast between the “virginal” mothering/nurturing figure who serves versus the one who serves only herself. It reminds us that BML is not here to make us feel comfortable. The Moon’s opposition may emphasize a choice that you have to make, or tension between two types of women.

Venus is the harmonious, connecting facto; get honest and look at the shadow issues behind mothering, fixing and virgin/whore projections. Who is considered pure and impure, and are these descriptions even valid?

No one said Venus in Scorpio delivered the good stuff easily.

October 17th, 2019: Go Deep, Move Forward

  • Mercury in Scorpio trine Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (18°)

  • Venus in Scorpio trine Cancer North Node (11°)

Mercury gives Lilith a voice. Truths about taboo sexual issues, women’s power and women’s secrets are said quietly, but the words will resonate loudly in your core. This is the time to speak about what’s uncomfortable, or what’s been hidden, regarding women’s sexual power. In some cases, there may be quiet reveals about a woman’s victimization. Either way, the words will flow out naturally. 

The conversation has just begun, because this trine will occur two more times:

  • November 9th (21°, Mercury RX)

  • December 4th (24°, Mercury direct)

Venus/NN indicates that complete commitment to and total immersion in a relationship/financial/self-esteem issue harmonizes with your path towards emotional satisfaction. The more courageous you are about confronting what’s beneath the surface (regarding what you want or value) the more you’ll feel a gentle but unmistakable pull forward. This aspect says that what you love does have a future, as long as there’s more beneath the surface. This does not apply to anything light or superficial.

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 11th, 2019: Sun Inconjunct Black Moon Lilith

  • Libra Sun inconjunct Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (17°)

Libra’s social graces are incompatible with BML’s slippery magic. Lilith in Pisces is taboo female energy and sexuality that dissolves boundaries, hints at chaos/temptation and is impossible to define.

There may be conflicting urges to follow the forbidden path, even if this undermines the balance in a partnership. The balance may feel boring or restrictive, but it’s important to be aware of the risk of undermining your ego through destructive sacrifice (via unhealthy relationship choices) versus honoring the rebellious magic.

BML says there is something on the edges to explore, but don’t allow it to tip you over the edge.
