  • Venus conjunct Uranus in Taurus (3 deg)

  • Mars in Cancer trine Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (1 deg)

Mercury/Pluto

Mercury/Pluto is powerful, fixed words. Opinions feel like life (Taurus) or death (Pluto), but the harmonious trine ensures they are delivered in a palatable manner. Excellent if you have something crucial to say but you don’t want to alienate others with your intensity. Also good for digging beneath the surface of a seemingly simple issue and discovering something of greater value.

Words are magnetic because of their calm (Taurus) but intense message that slips under your skin before you know it (trine).

Venus/Uranus

Venus/Uranus delivers a sweet or shocking surprise, depending on how you feel about the disruption of financial or relationship habits. This can manifest as an unexpected new attraction that suddenly feels essential, an unusual new source of income or liberated expression of values. Something odd may appear beautiful, and something beautiful may suddenly not matter.

Not everyone will agree with what manifests, but you can bet it’s honest and a significant update from what you’re accustomed to.

Venus rules Taurus, so we can this aspect as the distilled essence of the entire transit. Venus/Uranus in Taurus is new values. The existing value of something can be completely blown away or clarified.

Mars/Lilith

Mars/BML empowers Lilith’s mystical, magical or delusional transit. Mars in Cancer is anger/initiative motivated by feelings (possibly protective or nurturing). In a harmonious trine to the Dark Lady, there can be a push to move into dangerously vague territory or a push to protect those on the outside who cannot protect themselves. Perhaps you feel the urge to nurture that part of yourself that was never accepted.

Cancer is the mother/child but BML is the outsider who was shut out from the family. With this aspect, nurturing actions create a resonance that allow you to come to terms with what was denied/ripped away. BML is associated with abortion, miscarriage or conflicted feelings about motherhood. Consider how certain empathetic actions might address these issues.

Lilith in Pisces can gently release deep pools of anger and pain connected to being shunned because of “unacceptable” expressions of female power and sexuality.

Mercury’s Transit of Taurus (And A Voice for Lilith)

Mercury enters Taurus on May 6th at 2:25 pm EDT. Information and communication is focused on what’s real and immediate. Solid, simple ideas have value – proof is essential. Values are put into words. Don’t waste your time with complicated decisions. Keep it straightforward and start with the basics – you can build from there.

Usually this transit would indicate a slower-moving flow of information that becomes fixed. But Mercury’s upcoming conjunction to Uranus ensures that will not happen. What you planned may be turned on its head.

Mercury in Taurus’ first aspect (also on May 6th) is a sextile to Black Moon Lilith in Pisces. Newly emerging, taboo issues of female power, emancipation, victimization or sexuality are gently grounded with a few words of introduction. Lilith is a given a voice that draws attention to her, and it’s quiet (at first). But sometimes you don’t need to shout to be heard. Keep in this in mind if you want to speak about something that’s normally uncomfortable or unusual. This is one or two phrases spoken calmly, with impact.

Here are the aspects Mercury in Taurus will make:

  • May 6th: sextile Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (0 deg)

  • May 8th: conjunct Uranus (3 deg)

  • May 12th: sextile Juno in Cancer (10 deg)

  • May 12th: inconjunct Ceres Rx in Sagittarius (10 deg)

  • May 12th: inconjunct Pallas Rx in Libra (11 deg)

  • May 15th: sextile Neptune in Pisces (18 deg)

  • May 16th: trine the Capricorn South Node (19 deg)

  • May 16th: trine Saturn Rx in Capricorn (20 deg)

  • May 17th: inconjunct Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (22 deg)

  • May 18th: trine Pluto Rx in Capricorn (23 deg)

  • May 21st: Gemini ingress

Black Moon Lilith’s Transit of Pisces

by  •

Black Moon Lilith enters Pisces. The dark woman becomes even more difficult to pin down in this watery, transcendent sign.

For those of you not familiar with BML, she is named after Adam’s first wife who was exiled from the Garden because she refused to submit to him. She is female, sexual energy that is taboo and rebellious – she is the outsider, the prostitute, the witch, the demon and the other woman. She reminds us that there is a price for stepping outside the lines – she’s powerful but exiled.

While she’s in Pisces, watch for tricky situations where the lines are blurred. She carries the rage of being rejected, but nothing is overt in Pisces. So you may be encouraged to deceptively take revenge or become embroiled in a situation that undermines you. Lilith in Pisces can become immersed in the illusion – the addiction to what’s unavailable, the use of sexual energy that seems empowering but is actually diminishing. She can become the victim.

Yes, she’s about female empowerment. But she has a dark side and to deny this is to ignore who she really is. If you deny her anger and desire for vengeance, you make yourself vulnerable to her distorted energy. This can be just as destructive as using her rage to hurt others. Like a wild animal, she should always be treated with cautious respect – you can’t domesticate her.

The highest expression of BML in Pisces would be to transcend the anger and forget about those who don’t accept you. Tap into this sign’s limitlessness and consider how Lilith’s positive energy (her independence, her symbolism of all that’s socially unacceptable but crucial) can be expanded in positive ways. Rise above the rules, forgive those who have wronged you and forgive yourself if you’re hanging onto feelings of guilt or failure for not conforming to the stereotypes of wife/mother/good girl.

This transit can also be excellent for getting to know her better, if you want – she’s moving through the Pisces area of your chart where there are no boundaries. All you have to do is let her in.

Black Moon Lilith will exit Pisces for Aries on Jan 27th, 2020.

April 18th, 2019: Aries Sun Sextile Black Moon Lilith

  • Aries Sun sextile Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (28 deg)

Lilith’s dangerous woman/outsider is given a boost. Subjective ego and purpose are integrated with fringe expressions of women’s sexuality/power. A social issue may be illuminated, or you may feel that it’s time to express a part of yourself that people object to.

It takes courage to own taboo energy- to step forward from detachment and make it purely personal. To say “This is who I am.” This harmonious aspect allows you to do this in a way that’s effortless, but the energy of the sextile is so effortless that you could miss it.. Watch for the moment when you feel a slight nudge to step forward and declare what’s uncomfortable or forbidden – something that breaks the rules about how a woman “should” be.

April 16th, 2019: Juno and Black Moon Lilith

  • Juno in Gemini trine Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (28 deg)

Juno’s partnership choices blend nicely with BML’s taboo or unusual expression of female energy. Usually Juno (the wife or committed partner) and Lilith (the other woman, the dangerous woman) are not on the same page. But here is an opportunity to open an agreement up to what’s normally forbidden or uncomfortable. There’s room for something different and the detachment of the Air signs means open communication and open minds.

BML can be incorporated into a partnership agreement if her radical truths are recognized. Consider how these two expressions of female energy are blending today – Gemini emphasizes duality.

March 4th, 2019: Optimistic Taboos

  • Moon in Aquarius sextile Jupiter in Sagittarius (22 deg)

  • Moon in Aquarius conjunct Black Moon Lilith (23 deg)

A powerful day for freedom, as the Moon is supported by expansive Jupiter. Adventure, independence and the open-minded consideration of anything (especially if it’s new) is favoured. Moon/Jupiter also brings optimism – it will feel as if things will work out, even though you have no proof or plan. But the sextile is harmonious, so this vibe won’t be exaggerated. Meaning, things shouldn’t get too crazy.

Building on this energy, the Moon/BML conjunction amplifies two sides of the feminine principle. The edgy and controversial facets of women’s sexuality and women’s roles in society are supported. Moon equals mother and BML is the opposite, and when they unite (in the detached sign of Aquarius) you have a new version of mother/woman whose identity is not defined by society.

This is a good day to consider different expressions of female energy that would normally be considered taboo or “weird” (according to polite society). Jupiter encourages you to do what feels good – focus on what’s positive and comfortable for you. Lift yourself up with your own truths, even if no one else approves (although Jupiter usually indicates ease in bringing the new forward to others).
