July 4th, 2019: Saturn Conjunct the South Node

by  • 

Giovanni Segantini

  • Saturn Rx conjunct the Capricorn South Node (17 deg)

Here we have the second of three conjunctions. Saturn (rules, limits, responsibility, authority) over the South Node (the past) is about old Saturn issues coming home to roost. Daddy issues. Obligations. Fears. Traditions.

There’s a culmination – a confrontation that cannot be avoided. You may be reaping the results of responsibilities you’ve avoided. Of, if you’ve been diligently doing the work, perhaps you’re wrapping up a long-standing obligation that will soon be over. Maybe you’re reconnecting with your father, or your fears, or your limits. In some cases, you may even be rewarded with increased authority or an official commitment (yes, Saturn can deliver rewards).

But it’s not over – this is a long process that began around April 30th (the first conjunction) and will conclude around September 28th (the final conjunction). The first and second conjunctions feature Saturn Rx (reversed) so there’s an even greater emphasis on going back to the past and taking yet another look at that line. The final conjunction will be Saturn direct – progress. It may even feel a touch less heavy. Why is it dragging on for so long? Well, it would appear that something requires your undivided attention and commitment. It’s not a quick thing (Saturn is never quick).

If you’re feeling weighed down, take heart – you’re halfway through your thing. If you’ve been avoiding this, it will be much easier on you if you just take a deep breath and deal with it. You do not want to shrug Saturn off.

In some way, there’s a weight from the past that you still need to carry.

Behavior that seemed defensive or tame during the past few weeks, becomes raw, roaring and reactive for what we’re starving for over the next six weeks. We’re hungry, and we’re not backing down from the chase […]

June 28th, 2019: Solidify the Past

  • Moon in Taurus trine the South Node in Capricorn (17 deg)

  • Moon in Taurus trine Saturn Rx in Capricorn (17 deg)

  • Moon in Taurus sextile Neptune rx in Pisces (18 deg)

Today’s lunar aspects are, for the most part, all business. Moon trine the South Node and Saturn urges you to solidify (Taurus) a matter from the past by accepting your responsibilities. The trine is an easy influence, so this should come naturally (although in some cases you may end up falling back into a rut defined by fears or rigid habits). But overall, this energy can confirm or solidify.

You’ll know it’s unhealthy if you feel limited or “crushed” by the pressure of old rules. Just because it’s easy doesn’t mean it’s always good for you. Does it feel like a “good” weight or are you feeling squashed? Pay attention to your body – it never steers you wrong.

The sexitle to Neptune adds a touch of release, reminding you that it’s not all about the physical world. Pay attention to the hint about what lies beyond money or physical security – there’s more and there’s room to expand. This brings us to the Cancer North Node (opposite the SN) which the Moon will sextile. All the solidification and confirmation is meant to point you towards an emotional issue that’s not as clearly defined, but is part of your path forward.

Seeing Possibilities

by  • 

What tends to matter most – personal values, love and money – becomes blurry and could cause us to lose our way under a starry-eyed Venus/Neptune square, Monday morning June 24. What we imagine under this uncomfortable aspect, may send us back into an old romance with self-doubt or guilt with the help of a […]

June 23rd, 2019: The New Goddess

  • Venus in Gemini inconjunct the Capricorn South Node (17 deg)

  • Venus in Gemini inconjunct Saturn Rx in Capricorn (18 deg)

  • Venus in Gemini opposite Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (17 deg)

  • Uranus in Taurus conjunct Vesta (5 deg)

  • Uranus and Vesta sextile Black Moon Lilith in Pisces ( 5 deg)

Venus

Venus/Jupiter can exaggerate what you want – there may appear to be more choices regarding a financial, relationship or value issue. And they will be exuberant and tempting. But some of those choices will be unwise, as Jupiter retrograde asks you to review before you say “yes.” And Venus’ inconjuncts to the South Node and Saturn Rx insist that a rule/limit from the past will narrow your choices. So really, you may only have one, viable option. The brakes will be applied and that issue from the past will not be ignored.

Uranus

Uranus/Vesta adds urgency to an area of focus. Vesta is the ultimate focus/sacred flame, and Uranus suggests a sudden shot of devotion; an all-or-nothing, extreme jolt that clarifies what has the most value (Taurus). This will include old values/resources/habits being blown away.

The sextile to BML suggests this will involve some taboo, possibly magical/transcendent expressions of female energy. One of Lilith’s manifestations is the witch, and this is emphasized in Pisces, the sign that lies beyond reality. Here we have a wake-up call about what/who is essential, even if she’s “forbidden.”

Vesta is purity and BML is dark, raw sexuality (the prostitute, the other woman, the woman who belongs to no one). When they harmonize, what’s socially forbidden becomes a path to personal enlightenment and discipline (Vesta is untouchable in her own way – she also belongs to no one but herself).

Add Uranus’s liberation, and you have a whole new set of values and security at your fingertips.

Summary

So, if we consider Uranus/Vesta/BML and the aspects to Venus (also female energy and the ruler of Taurus) a picture emerges- you’re questioning what sounds/looks good regarding love and values. Is it hollow? At the same time, there’s one, undeniable choice. You’re not stuck in the past, but you are paying attention to what came before so you don’t make the same mistakes. Or maybe there’s an ongoing responsibility/tradition that still has value.

Either way, Uranus/Vesta in Taurus insists that part of this is about devoting yourself to a new goddess – a new expression of female energy/values (whether you’re a man or woman) who cracks the Saturn whip.

June 19th, 2019: Mercury/Mars Opposite Pluto Rx

by  •

  • Waning Inconjunct between the Capricorn Moon and Gemini Sun (28 deg)

  • Mercury and Mars in Cancer opposite Pluto Rx in Capricorn (22 deg)

After the results of June 17th’s Full Moon, the Waning Inconjunct adds another wrinkle. The truth or the story/promise needs to be adjusted according to a rule. You may not want to apply this rule – it may feel strict, unfair or harsh. But there are certain structures that need to be put in place. This will help you narrow your focus or make the wise choice.

Mercury rules the Gemini Sun, and along with Mars opposes Pluto Rx. This adds more tension to the inconjunct- forceful (Mars) words (Mercury) are extremely challenged or challenging. Subterranean truths are dredged up by obsessive actions and thoughts. In emotional Cancer, it will be very difficult to have a balanced, civil discussion. Nothing will be logical – there may be tears, angry neediness, words screamed from the child that sits inside all of us.

You may be pummeled by someone’s truth, or you may project anger/obsessiveness onto someone else. Projection is always a risk with the opposition. As always with Pluto, awareness is the best defense – think carefully before you act and speak, especially if you feel that a truth must be delivered. If someone comes at you, recognize that much of what’s happening is probably projection or attempts to manipulate through intimidation.

Can anything positive come out of today’s aspects? Well, Pluto always reveals what lies beneath. If you’re very careful, the union of words and actions can be focused for maximum effectiveness, using brutal honesty as fuel. Pluto is the subconscious or secrets and (if your eyes are wide open) can be focused through the conscious expression of words united with actions. You can obliterate a lie with this power. You can also destroy something perfectly good.

Be careful.

This takes us back to the Waning Inconjunct – that annoying rule or limit can act as a brake. Select your words with care and apply discipline, maturity and judgement.
