Mercury square Neptune is a crisis between the story/sales pitch versus the illusion or belief. Neptune blurs the facts and creates disbelief, so the story is exaggerated and suspect. This aspect can be about outright lies or seeing something that is not real (the illusion). 

If you find yourself questioning a “truth,” keep asking – the initial words have been distorted. If what you see looks grand and expansive, treat it as a nice picture but don’t rely on it. 

Fortunately, Mars/Saturn adds a bit of reality to help with the above. Intensive, authentic actions (Mars) will be grounded and focused by the rules. Slow, determined effort can take you in the right direction, even if you’re questioning what direction that is. It will be better to rely on actions than intellect- stick with what you can physically take stock of rather than unproven words. Silent, purposeful work will take you further than pretty declarations. 

Mars in Scorpio is deep motivation – tapping into the unconscious and making it visible. Saturn makes it real while restraining all-or-nothing impulses. This is sober, serious energy that asks you to push things just a bit further while applying discipline and total commitment.

Note the contrast in the energies – Mercury/Neptune is external and expansive while Mars in Scorpio contracts and is internal. Actions penetrate through the levels until you hit hidden reservoirs of strength/resources/authenticity. Mercury/Neptune may be distracting, but Mars will show you the truth. Rely on your physical senses, no matter what you hear or see.

December 13th, 2019: Venus Conjunct Pluto, Mars Trine Neptune

  • Venus in Capricorn conjunct Pluto (21°)

  • Mars in Scorpio trine Neptune in Pisces (15°)

Venus/Pluto is the intensification of defined desires. Pluto adds a “must have” quality to a relationship, financial or self- esteem issue. The intensity of what you want or love will teach you about your personal limits: how far are you willing to go and how much control are you willing to give up? The truth of what you want will be excavated so there’ll be no room for denial. This could be about a total commitment or total ending and transformation (aspects to Pluto often indicate a metaphorical death).

Neptune can enable Mars’ actions as a smooth flow of motivation with zero resistance. It will be easy to dive deeply into something, so this energy can enable healthy and not so healthy actions. Just because an aspect (the trine) is harmonious, doesn’t mean that the outcome is always positive. You really have to look at what you’re doing and why. On the plus side, Neptune can encourage Mars in Scorpio’s deeply compassionate or healing efforts as boundaries are dissolved.

Overall, this is about serious actions (Mars) and attraction (Venus). There’s the potential to go deeper than you ever have, regarding what you want and what you’re prepared to do to get it. As noted, efforts will be easy but that may or may not be a good thing. What you end up with will reveal the true power or transformative potential in a relationship or resource.

December 4th, 2019: First Quarter Square And Relationship Crisis

  • First Quarter Square between the Pisces Moon and Sagittarius Sun (11°)

  • Venus in Capricorn square Juno in Libra (10°)

  • Mercury in Scorpio trine Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (24°)

The First Quarter Square triggers a crisis between spirituality (Pisces) versus wisdom (Sag) or dreams versus truth. An established belief, piece of knowledge or religion will be challenged by what cannot be defined. Something will be undermining your faith, and it could be a lie, fantasy or energy that transcends everything you thought you knew. The questions that are raised will push you to take action- it’s time to step forward and defend your truth or make a change that aligns you with a new truth. 

Continuing the theme of crisis, Venus/Juno raises tension between authoritative expressions or love or values versus a harmonious partnership agreement. Authority, traditions or control will trigger an imbalance between two people. Consider how this tension factors into the above crisis of truth and belief.

But there is an easy aspect today-Mercury harmonizes with Black Moon Lilith, tapping into uncomfortable and taboo information about women’s sexuality that is somehow deemed “unacceptable.” Here is the undeniable and intense voice of truth- saying what needs to be said or exploring secret issues. Consider how the smooth flow of intense, authentic female energy (via words or ideas) can help you deal with the above crises.

This trine between Mercury and BML is the last of three. So you’re concluding an issue that began on October 17th.
