The latest cosmic shifts over the past few weeks have kept us on our toes, between Sun (ego, identity) and Mars (energy, desires) in balancing Libra, then Mercury (thoughts, communications) and Venus (values, love, money) transiting intense Scorpio, while stabilizing Saturn and transformative Pluto both stationed direct. This new week quiets down just a tad; […]

Honoring Our Spirit | Starcana Cosmic Dirt
Intentions may feel a bit tested this week, between the irritable Mercury/Uranus opposition, a restrictive Sun/Saturn square on Monday October 7 – and the finicky Venus/Uranus opposition on Saturday October 12. An unexpected shift could be hard to resist, as overpowering winds aim to send us off into another direction. Stay mindful, in order to […]
October 3rd, 2019: Pluto Direct

Pluto stations direct in Capricorn (20°, 2:38 AM EDT)
The excavation of corruption or what’s dead/ dying beneath the surface will speed up as Pluto moves forward. We’re on to the next round of potent deconstruction and transformation.
Pluto in Capricorn has been breaking down old rules and commitments by opening your eyes to what’s no longer valid. Pluto often brings what’s dark to the surface so it can be purged. As intimidating as this sounds, it’s really just about getting to the raw ,often hidden, truth. Sometimes what’s dying could be as mundane as outdated habits or the natural conclusion of a relationship. This is not necessarily corruption, it’s simply an ending whose time has come. In other cases, it could be more serious (like a reveal of abuses of authority or destructive secrets).
Pluto direct means new changes are incoming – keep them in perspective by looking at the reality (Capricorn) of what’s happening in your life.

Cutting Loose | October Tarotscope | Starcana Cosmic Dirt
Good day friend. There’s an uncomfortable shift on Tuesday October 1, where values, relationships and/or money situations can be affected by a slippery Venus/Pluto square. In the attempt to gain control of personal desires; the intensity of Tuesday’s Scorpio Moon will strengthen powerful cravings. Something (or someone) is bound to be cut loose as a […]
September 28th, 2019: Saturn Conjunct The South Node

Saturn in Capricorn conjunct the South Node (13°)
The last of three conjunctions, this signals a major conclusion or result involving rules, traditions, authority, parents or responsibility. An issue from the past has crystallized-it cannot be undone. This could mean that a door has been shut, a commitment finalized or results delivered.
The first conjunctions took place on April 30th and July 4th. This has not been a sudden event: the ending/ result has slowly taken shape since April and, in the manner of all things Saturn, you haven’t been able to rush it. This has allowed you to view events as they have taken shape. As the final structure manifests, consider how you feel about that shape-in some way, it reflects the work/ focus/ discipline or lack thereof that you have applied. In some cases you may be walking away from a structure that you’ve outgrown.
Take a moment and look back at what you’ve manifested and concluded. Now, turn around and move forward.

The Art of Compromise | Starcana Cosmic Dirt
It’s all about relating while struggling to create a form of balance under the next four weeks, as Sun (ego, identity) moves from problem-solving Virgo, and into graceful Libra on the Fall Equinox, Monday September 23. With Sun in Libra, we are led toward the equality of light and darkness, life and death, order and […]
September 22nd, 2019: Mercury Square Saturn And the Nodes

Mercury/ Saturn is enforced correctness. Rules may restrict your ability to speak openly, forcing you to say the right thing out of fear. This is unbalanced politeness-the strict adherence to what must be said rather than what you want to say. Speaking out of turn will not be tolerated.
Incorporating Mercury’s square to the Nodes, we see that Saturn as ruler of the Capricorn South Node describes authority from the past. But a square to the Nodes means you are at a turning point -somehow you must move forward. This means choosing between the past or future. The Cancer North Node implies energy that is more emotional. So perhaps this is about a choice between speaking “properly” versus saying what you feel. Or, you may need to take responsibility for the consequences of a one- on- one exchange before you can progress to something that’s more nurturing.
Overall, it will be difficult to speak freely. But within those limits there is an important decision. What rules are you still listening to?
