  • Mercury RX in Scorpio opposite Vesta RX in Taurus (20°)

You could experience this aspect as extreme blockage around what you’re trying to communicate or investigate. Vesta is absolute focus, but when opposing Mercury that focus challenges intellect or communication.

The focus on a habit or something you’re trying to preserve can be so extreme that you deny deeper insights that have emerged. Vesta can manifest like Saturn with passion. 

Too, the investigation can bring you to the same, restrictive result-you may have to decide to look elsewhere temporarily.

This aspect occurred previously on October 23rd, when Mercury was direct. So you’re returning to the same, obsessive issue or ending. And once again you’re confronted by blocks. Don’t expect progress while Mercury is RX, but do look at the repeat message-is there a compromise between depth versus preservation? Is there something you’re refusing to see?

November 9th, 2019: Black Moon Lilith Speaks Again

  • Mercury RX in Scorpio trine Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (21°)

  • Mercury RX in Scorpio sextile Pluto in Capricorn (20°)

  • Chiron RX in Aries opposite Juno in Libra (1 °)

Once again, BML is given a voice as she harmonizes with Mercury. The investigation of secrets or a closer look at taboo information will enable her. Women’s sexual energy that is powerful, disruptive and unorthodox can be verbalized, and the sextile to Pluto (which rules Scorpio) adds even more power. 

Pluto is the death and transformation of old ideas. Words are authentic and magnetic but uncomfortably honest. Nonetheless, they can be well received. If you ever wanted to talk about Lilith, now’s the time.

These aspects to Mercury last occurred from October 17th-19th, when Mercury was direct. Now you may be revisiting the ideas, identifying the hidden facts or repeating the same, intense message. Repetition equals power.

This also ties in to yesterday’s sextile between Pluto and BML.

Chiron/Juno suggests a painful imbalance in a relationship agreement. One partner may be hurt by the agreement, but goes along with it because they feel they have no choice. This can be the compromise that is wounding, or a compromise that is made in spite of the pain.

November 4th, 2019: First Quarter Square And Mars/Lilith Tension

by  •

Anders Zorn

  • First Quarter Square between the Aquarius Moon and Scorpio Sun (11°)

  • Mars in Libra inconjunct Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (20°)

The 1st Quarter Square triggers a crisis between immersion versus detachment. Something that’s been absorbing you requires a different perspective. There may be a surprise or abrupt shock of clarity that pulls you back. This will feel uncomfortable, but the correct action is to step away. Perhaps you need to become more independent or detach yourself from the situation altogether. 

Mars/BML indicates a disconnect between socially acceptable actions versus taboo female sexuality. Since Mars also describes male energy, there is a disconnect between male and female. Rather than outright hostility, there will be misunderstandings. Surface actions will be out of step with the undefined yet powerful undercurrent of the female outsider: the other woman, the witch, the woman whose sexuality does not fit neatly into any category. 

Consider if your attempts to act fairly are denying something more powerful. Or, perhaps someone else’s efforts are glossing over your truths. At the same time, certain compromises must be made.

November 2nd, 2019: Following The Secret

by  •

  • Sun in Scorpio trine Cancer North Node (10°)

  • Mercury RX in Scorpio conjunct Pallas (27°)

Sun/NN encourages you to follow the path of least resistance. Scorpio issues of depth, transformation, intimacy or complete commitment to an issue will effortlessly align you with your path forward. This is symbolized by the Cancer North Node, a new area of emotional fulfillment. Allow yourself to flow with your feelings or instincts-there will be a strong current that pulls you in a direction that feels right.

Mercury is intellect and communication, and when it unites with Pallas (strategy) you can access secret or obscured/taboo patterns. You can put unspoken strategies into words or investigate an approach to problem solving the that calls for instinct and intellect.

This is the second of two conjunctions in Scorpio-the first took place on October 21st at 27° (when Mercury was direct). That may have been your initial introduction to this strategy, and now you’re reviewing or looking more deeply at the issue. This second look will be an essential part of identifying hidden (possibly psychological) patterns.

If you have anything at 27° Scorpio, these conjunctions will be important for you. What deeper strategies do you need to identify or discuss?

The magic of Samhain and the journey to Hallowe’en

by  • 

Art by Wendy Andrews I just returned from a trip to Ireland, where the holiday of Hallowe’en is said to have originated with the ancient Celts who called this holiday Samhain, or “summer’s end”.  Traditionally the holiday was celebrated on November 1st, but some sources say that the festival lasted seven days, or […]

October 30th, 2019: Mercury Conjunct Venus

  • Mercury in Scorpio conjunct Venus (27°)

Words are deeply seductive and magnetic, or thoughts can zero in on what you really, really want. Buried or taboo desires are defined and given a voice, so this is great for clarifying essential details about relationships, finances, intimacy or values. Perhaps something secret is finally being communicated.

But note that Mercury will station retrograde at this degree on October 31st. So there are more layers to uncover or reasons to pause and reconsider what’s been said.

Don’t disregard this aspect, because it’s potent and truthful. But do keep in mind that much more will be revealed. Wait for the level below the words to be exposed. And then the next level, and the next…
