September 27th, 2019: Venus Inconjunct Lilith/Neptune

  • Venus in Libra inconjunct Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (16°)

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

Venus makes challenging aspects to BML and Neptune. The socially acceptable expression of female energy or relationship impulses (Venus) will have to be adjusted with the magic (Neptune) of the dangerous woman (BML). 

Lilith’s undefined energy can seep unexpectedly into situations: Lilith/ Neptune is the addictive or transcendent version of the other woman/ witch/ prostitute or female rebel. Without allowing this to undermine a relationship or your social balance, you must still consider what slides beneath the social dance.

Lilith/ Neptune is slippery and this conjunction will be exact on September 30th (so what starts today will stretch into the 30th). As this energy builds, consider how it challenges the conventional standards of relating. What is the unspoken side of the woman you know? There may be doubts about what’s unconventional (but liberating) and these will have to be integrated before they weaken your relationships.

Sometimes this energy can manifest as the sneaky or destructive side of flirtation.

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 […]

Growing from the Inside Out | Starcana Cosmic Dirt

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 […]

Pisces Full Moon: Clearing

by  • 

I was sitting down to a breakfast I’ve had for 15 years due to dietary limitations. The almond butter was arguing with me. It had been itching my throat lately, so I got the peanut butter and cashew butter out of the pantry. No, no, and no. Dry mock “toast” for me. I burst into […]

Full Moon in Pisces

The Septmeber 14th Full Moon (21 deg Pisces) conjoins Neptune (dreams/illusion) opposes Sun/Mars in Virgo and squares Jupiter in Sag (optimism). Moon/Neptune is sensitive, transcendent, no boundaries.

Jupiter expands what it touches, and when there’s a hard square the expansion is exaggerated through crisis. So we’ll have a big, unwieldy result that bleeds out and involves the final Neptune/Jupiter square (exact on Sept 21st). This is the crisis between dreams (Neptune) versus ideals (Jupiter). The crisis of belief. The sensitive wallop. The crazy euphoria.

The previous two Neptune/Jupiter squares occurred on Jan 13th and Jun 16th, so we’re building towards a final breakthrough or breakdown (depending on how you’ve handled the big illusion).

This Full Moon will push you to act (Jupiter square Mars) but the opposition to Neptune will undermine your actions. How you act/react will be questionable due to sadness, confusion or delusion. The urge will be big but the results will be…flaky. It could fizzle or leak.

I would approach this Full Moon with caution, and refer back to the last two dates of the Jupiter/Neptune squares. What’s been expanding in your life? Virgo is truth and Pisces is illusion, so the light of this Moon (and the final Neptune/Jupiter square) may expose something. What’s been expanding is not necessarily all false, but you do have to keep your eye on what cannot be sustained because it’s simply too much.

The Virgo Sun will trine Pluto Rx in Capricorn (which will also sextile the Pisces Moon) so there’s a touch of grounding. When in doubt, refer back to the ongoing transformations in your life – the death of old structures/rules. Hook into that power, because that’s what’s real. Forget about the hopes and wishes – look at the physical results of what’s dying and transforming.

Full Moon in Pisces means something must be released or dissolved, but you don’t have to lose your grip on reality.

September 9th, 2019: Black Moon Lilith and Mars in Virgo

  • Mars in Virgo trine Saturn in Capricorn (13 deg)

  • Mars in Virgo opposite Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (14 deg)

Cautious actions (Mars in Virgo) harmonize with the rules (Saturn). Excellent for focus, doing what needs to be done and working carefully.

But the opposition to BML suggests that actions/male energy will be at odds with the “dangerous” woman. BML in Pisces is the witch, the seductress or the woman on the fringes who defies definition. Mars trine Saturn wants to define and make it official and this will directly contradict what Lilith is trying to do.

However, note that Saturn Rx made a supportive sextile to BML on Sept 6th, so this is not as simple as the patriarchy repressing the magical woman. The rules can work for and stabilize undefined or transcendent expressions of female sexuality and independence – focusing that outlier energy in one direction (on a concrete issue) is key. Give her authority by using her power with serious conviction. The Mars opposition suggests fault-finding actions (Mars in Virgo can be prudish and judgemental) that challenge BML’s limitless growth. This is the moment to fall back on her rules – she can build up authority for herself if she takes herself seriously and works within the system for change, rather than letting her anger dominate.

Sacred sexuality and female energy with no boundaries may be threatening to some, but the Saturn sextile indicates that she has her own powerful traditions and rules. Consider if you feel threatened or empowered by her (she cannot be controlled or defined).
