September 25th, 2019: Venus Square Saturn And The Nodes

by  •

  • Venus in Libra square Saturn in Capricorn (13°)

  • Venus in Libra Square the Nodes (14°)

Venus square Saturn (ruler of the Capricorn South node) will place restrictions on what you want and love. These restrictions will be rules, obligations or traditions from the past. The pressure to conform or hold back will create an imbalance (Libra). You may feel less attractive or you may not get what you want in a relationship. The exchange of love and affection will be unequal-perhaps one person simply has nothing to give.

But since Venus is squaring the Nodes, those restrictions are pushing you towards a crossroads. You will have to acknowledge what you cannot have while also looking towards the future (Cancer North Node). The future is more emotional, nurturing and giving but it’s not familiar. So even if what you know it is unpleasant, there may be hesitation to move forward. It’s always your choice: you may have to make a decision about a relationship or a situation that impacts your self-esteem. Look at what you can’t have and where your responsibilities lie, and then consider what you can have (it’s ahead of you).

September 24th, 2019: Relationships are Favoured

  • Mercury in Libra inconjunct Neptune RX in Pisces (16°)

  • Mercury in Libra sextile Jupiter in Sagittarius (17°)

  • Venus in Libra sextile Ceres in Sagittarius (11°)

  • Saturn in Capricorn trine Juno in Virgo (13°)

Mercury/Neptune is a caution to balance truth with sensitivity. What’s unspoken or suspected should be honored, but don’t allow it to undermine your objectivity when speaking with others. It can be easy to read too much into what you think the other person is saying. But the more dominant aspect of Mercury/Jupiter should counteract this with a shot of balanced wisdom and optimism. Overall, communication with others will be open minded and inclusive.

Venus/Ceres adds a smooth touch to all relationships. One-on-one exchanges will be nurturing but not smothering. This aspect suggests acceptance and objective empathy for all. This also has a light touch- no one is being forced to conform or stay.

For those who want reassurance, Saturn/Juno ensures the firm commitment. Juno in Virgo is the detailed agreement-nothing is overlooked and there is a shared desire to improve. Saturn nails it down with an official commitment or steadfast rules.

Overall, any one-on-one exchange is favoured today.

Sun Into Libra And The Fall Equinox

by  •

The Sun’s Libra ingress takes place on September 23 at 3:50 AM EDT.

Here we are at another Fall Equinox. The hours of daylight and darkness are equal and then we cross the threshold into lengthening nights. All equinoxes and solstices are times of increased power-in this case, there is a brief time of balance before things get darker. What can you do with this? As a time of harvest, you take stock of what you’ve planted and grown since the spring. What are you reaping now? Do you have enough to sustain you through the cold months ahead? Balance is a moment of stillness – use this to objectively see where you’re at before things start moving again.

This could be a literal issue (involving food or money) or a metaphorical issue where you take stock of your relationships, lifestyle or progress in a situation.

If you don’t have enough to sustain you, consider how you can beef up your material or emotional resources. Remember that Libra is about one-on-one relationships. So there’s always another involved, whether or not you’re a loner. Consider what you project, what’s being projected onto you, and whether your relationships sustain or deplete you.

Some key themes during this Libra season will be the Sun’s opposition to Chiron RX in Aries (projected wounds, confronting the necessary awkwardness) and the Sun’s squares to Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn (authority, obligations, power and deconstruction will upset the balance). Libra strives for balance in all situations but harmony and compromise will not be possible for much of this season. This is happening for a reason – sometimes you have to rock the boat in order to find a new centre.

Where is your centre? Or, do you prefer to swing between extremes?

Here the aspects the Libra Sun will make:

  • Sept 26: opposite Chiron RX in Aries (3°)

  • Sept 28: New Moon (5°)

  • Sept 29: inconjunct Uranus RX in Taurus (5°)

  • Oct 6: square the Nodes in Capricorn/ Cancer (13°)

  • Oct 7: square Saturn in Capricorn (14°)

  • Oct 9: inconjunct Neptune RX in Pisces (16°)

  • Oct 10: sextile Ceres in Sagittarius (17°)

  • Oct 11: inconjunct Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (17°)

  • Oct 13: sextile Jupiter in Sagittarius (20°)

  • Oct 13: Full Moon in Aries (20°)

  • Oct 14: square Pluto in Capricorn (20°)

  • Oct 18: inconjunct Vesta RX in Taurus (25°)

  • Oct 23: Scorpio ingress

Welcome to a new week! During the past five months of a restructuring Saturn retrograde, we may have experienced some  detours or tough setbacks in our pursuit of individual goals and personal growth. It was a slow and uncomfortable time of pause, but we were supplied with plenty of time to re-learn, re-work, re-blueprint, renegotiate […]

September 17th, 2019: Rough Patches

  • Mercury in Libra inconjunct Uranus Rx in Taurus (6 deg)

  • Venus in Libra opposite Chiron Rx in Aries (4 deg)

A difficult day for relationship harmony.

Venus in Libra loves to be loved and to have everything polished, pretty and graceful. This can mean bending over backwards to be accommodating, but the opposition to Chiron indicates that there will be socially uncomfortable moments, no matter what.

Efforts to be charming or diplomatic may fail, or end up inadvertently triggering a sore spot. Perhaps you’re hurt because someone is taking advantage or treating you unfairly. This is the time to be aware of what desires (regarding love, attention and values) you’re projecting. People don’t know what you want unless you tell them. If they can’t or won’t meet you halfway (after you’ve been open) this tells you something about them.

Adding to this, we have Mercury making a painful inconjunct to Uranus in Venus-ruled Taurus. Polite conversation will be difficult due to hard-to-pinpoint anxiety about saying the right thing. There’s a need to speak the truth/break away from what’s proper, but there can be doubts about how to do this effectively. Words may swing between the complete avoidance of anything controversial (candy-coated statements) to blunt, artless blurbs.

Expect touchy, painful moments and inappropriate words. Do your best to navigate by making allowances for rough patches.
