September 4th, 2019: Venus Opposite Neptune

by  •

  • 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.

September 3rd, 2019: Get Precise

  • Mercury conjunct Mars in Virgo (10 deg)

  • Sun conjunct Mercury in Virgo (11 deg)

  • Venus in Virgo trine the Capricorn South Node (16 deg)

Mercury/Mars is facts united with actions. There’s a precise, correct “thing” for you to do. You should know exactly what it is – maybe you’re doing something specific to manifest an improvement, or you’re using your anger/passion to communicate what you know is right.

The Sun’s superior conjunction to Mercury adds clarity and purpose to the above. No excuses – it’s spelled out in front of you. This conjunction will be a result or ending connected to the last conjunction (Jul 21st, 28 deg Cancer) when Mercury was Rx.

Venus adds a gentle nudge of reassurance as money, relationship or self-esteem issues harmonize with the past. Existing rules, traditions or habits support the specifics of what you love. Get real and focus on the details of what you want – it should feel natural rather than restrictive. Precision is beautiful.

September 2nd, 2019: Too Much?

by  •

  • Sun conjunct Mars in Virgo (9 deg)

  • Venus in Virgo square Jupiter in Sagittarius (15 deg)

Sun/Mars energizes your ability to correct and refine. There is confidence in doing the thing you know is right and motivation to do the required work. This is an ambitious yet particular aspect – sloppiness or half-hearted attempts will not cut it.

Part of the ongoing T-Square, Venus/Jupiter boosts today’s energy even more. You may want (Venus) to push the limits of what you can do with Sun/Mars. A square from Jupiter exaggerates, so there will be a big desire to help/clean/make it perfect. You may express your love with an over-the-top example of how useful you are.

But the crisis of this square is between Sagittarius’ ideals and Virgo’s reality. Too much of a good thing is still too much. Consider if they really want your help (are you overwhelming them with your love) or if your rush to get it right means you overlook the specifics. Maybe your ambitions for self-improvement take you past the point of what’s reasonable.

Overall, you’ll want to do a lot today, and you can. Just keep an eye on those expectations.

September 1st, 2019: Logic or Magic?

by  •

  • Mercury in Virgo Trine Uranus Rx in Taurus (6 deg)

  • Venus in Virgo opposite Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (13 deg)

  • Venus in Virgo trine Saturn Rx in Capricorn (14 deg)

Mercury/Uranus encourages you to think outside the box…slightly. Watch for new details/solutions or fresh angles on existing facts, but you don’t have to venture too far. You can put a new spin on logic and break through the barrier to something truly innovative yet practical. None of this is risky – this is about small changes that sound doable because they’re bite-sized.

Venus/Saturn confirms a relationship, financial or self-esteem issue. The facts about what you want can be made official. But Venus’ opposition to BML says that what’s official will clash with unstructured/undefined manifestations of female sexuality or liberation. The taboo magic of the dangerous woman will be at odds with what you’re trying to confirm.

So at this point, you need to decide what’s more important – tradition or the escape from tradition?

Virgo New Moon: I’m Okay

by  • 

I was at a beach in Kauai, topaz blue waves gently lapping, when I overheard a conversation between the two women next to me. “I’ve been so screwed up…something something… Mercury retrograde…something something…I just can’t figure things out,” said the younger woman, festive earrings dangling from her pretty but pinched face. Like a mantra, her […]

August 31st, 2019: Mercury Inconjunct Chiron

  • Mercury in Virgo inconjunct Chiron Rx in Aries (4 deg)

The inconjunct is about integrating discordant energies. We have Mercury in Virgo with the helpful suggestions and focus on what’s broken. And we have Chiron in Aries – the wounded warrior, the path forward that demands courage while you’re hurting.

Chiron’s wound must be acknowledged without trying to fix it. Mercury in Virgo needs to recognize what’s happening, even analyze it, but refrain from offering solutions. Because there are no solutions and trying to say the “right” thing will trigger more hurt.

Think about what happens when you offer unwanted advice or helpful observations.

The challenge here is to listen and observe without pointing out how it could be better. Emphasize but don’t judge. If you identify a painful area in your life, your challenge will be to not get caught up in searching for a fix – there is no fix, you just have to admit that it’s not perfect and you’ve done your best.
