  • Venus in Sagittarius conjunct Jupiter (28°)

  • Mars in Scorpio opposite Uranus RX in Taurus (3°)

Venus/Jupiter is abundance, gifts and the expansion of what you want. Hopes are high: this could be a lucky break, idealistic relationship or time of burgeoning self-esteem as you attract something big.

Mars/Uranus is a result involving a sudden break or abrupt action. The tension of the opposition suggests that it will be quite dramatic. Uranus’ disruptions can trigger intensive reactions that have been simmering in the shadows. What bursts forth from a Fixed sign like Scorpio is potent because it has been building slowly. 

The themes of risk and freedom are emphasized. Jupiter is about future growth and Uranus Is the rule -breaker. You may attract an amazing opportunity and you’ll have to place your faith in the future. At the same time, consider what you’re breaking away from but be careful-events can spiral out of control with hard aspects to Uranus.

How much is the risk worth? Or, does the disruptive ending have a silver lining?

November 23rd, 2019: A Day of Healing

  • Sagittarius Sun trine Chiron RX in Aries (1 °)

  • Mars in Scorpio sextile Ceres in Capricorn (2°)

Today is an excellent day to address what hurts and take serious steps to look after yourself or someone else.

Sun/Chiron can help you approach a painful situation with more optimism. Wounds or weaknesses can be confronted and integrated easily-watch for an increase in confidence that enables you to apply wisdom or even a sense of adventure to a touchy situation. This aspect also speaks to legal or religious guidance that helps you come to terms with a battle.

Mars/Ceres is active nurturing. This is about reaching for the deepest commitment or untapped reservoirs of strength and taking action to define the care and feeding of a situation or person. While this energy means business, the sextile is a gentle aspect; you won’t have to push. There should be an easy, almost effortless way to integrate intensive actions with structured care. 

Nurturing can also apply to yourself. This is an opportunity to go a bit further (perhaps into uncomfortable or hidden territory) and use that energy to fuel your disciplined self-care. But the keyword is “action”: you have to do something with this energy if you want to reap the benefits.

November 21st, 2019: Mars Inconjunct Chiron

  • Mars in Scorpio inconjunct Chiron RX in Aries (1 °)

Intense or passionate actions (Mars) will trigger discomfort (Chiron).  The deeper you dig, the more vulnerable you’ll feel, and you may pull back out of fear. Mars rules Aries, so there is extra resonance: the external battle where you feel weak and the internal push for intimacy or control. Perhaps this is about secret or taboo motivations.

Chiron’s wounds cannot be avoided but action still has to be taken. Efforts will have to accommodate pain or vulnerabilities. This means applying measured intensity rather than a full-on push, while accepting that it is going to hurt or someone’s going to say that you’re being “too” heavy/dark/obsessive, etc.

November 20, 2019: Mercury Direct

  • Mercury in Scorpio stations direct (11° at 2:11 PM EST)

  • Chiron RX in Aries square Ceres in Capricorn (1 °)

Mercury direct gives you the go -ahead regarding issues that have been delayed, reviewed or questioned since October 31st. The in-depth examination or exposure of secrets is now over- it’s time to move forward with what you know (and that includes speaking out, if necessary).

Chiron/Ceres triggers some difficult dynamics around rigid or traditional nurturing. Ceres is about mother’s nurturing and the cycle of life, loss and rebirth. Attempts to parent someone could bring out painful dynamics as they struggle to maintain their independence. Nurturing can be used as a tool to control, even if this is not done consciously. Or, a defined crisis point in the cycle of life and loss can be very uncomfortable-understand that this cycle cannot be controlled, and that is perhaps the most painful part. 

If you’re confronting this crisis, use Mercury’s direct motion to advance the conversation or your inner knowledge.

November 19th, 2019: Third Quarter Square And Black Moon Lilith

  • Third Quarter Square between the Leo Moon and Scorpio Sun (27°)

  • Venus in Sagittarius square Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (22°)

The Third Quarter Square raises questions about the spotlight of external recognition versus the darkness of internal shadow work, secrets and investigations. The tension of this square does not demand action. Rather, it urges you to question what’s been hidden or forbidden. Issues of fame, pride or bold displays will create a jarring contrast with what’s going on behind the scenes. The questions can become obsessive as you fixate on what’s bright and obvious-has some jealousy been triggered? What are the shadow issues behind the bright light?

Venus/BML is about the tension between new and expansive relationships, values and optimistic ideals versus the cool and subtle current of taboo female sexuality: the witch, other woman, prostitute or outsider has a hard- to- pin-down magic that subverts more acceptable beliefs about women and female values. At this point of tension, it is proper and timely to question your beliefs before you move forward. In some way, a new experience will challenge Lilith’s slippery magic. This could be a question of sexual ethics or the struggle between man -made beliefs versus undefined spiritual energy.
