  • 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…

October 29th, 2019: Venus Conjunct Pallas

  • Venus in Scorpio conjunct Pallas (25°)

This is the aspect of deep or secretive relationship strategies. Pallas (named after Pallas Athena, the warrior goddess of wisdom) is all about strategy, seeing patterns, connecting the dots and fighting certain battles. When she unites with ultra- feminine Venus in Scorpio, we have strategic and seductive energy that is focused on attracting exactly what you want.

There is nothing innocent about this, but that’s not a bad thing. While it can be manipulative if misused, it’s really about accessing your deepest resources (financial or emotional) and using that raw, possibly taboo, power to get what you want. Scorpio is about survival, so the stakes may be high (even if it’s not literal life and death). 

This aspect gives you an opportunity to use your intuitive wisdom. There may be a sexual undertone here-is an intimate relationship the place for strategy? In some cases, yes. Sometimes you need to plan what you’re going to give and what you’re going to keep. If this is about shared finances, the same issues apply. Look at where you’re vulnerable and where your power lies.

Venus/Pallas attracts by focusing on the pattern that serves her best.

October 28th, 2019: Sun Opposite Uranus, Mars Inconjunct Neptune

  • Sun in Scorpio opposite Uranus Rx in Taurus (4°)

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

Sun/Uranus continues the influence of yesterday’s New Moon. There is a contradictory surge of liberation in Fixed signs that strive to maintain control. There may be illumination from the depths (Scorpio) that highlights an abrupt upgrade to habits, finances or values. At the same time, the upgrade may encourage you to break away from secrets, taboos or unhealthy merging. The tension between change and preservation can make this energy feel even more radical than usual as it triggers anxieties about loss of control or the sudden reveal of what’s been hidden.

Mars/Neptune can make relationship efforts very tricky. You may want to initiate an exchange while dealing with the urge to give up or give in. The results can be misguided or severely unbalanced efforts. Some action is necessary but you have to proceed very carefully. Pay attention to unspoken beliefs, anxieties or fantasies that can throw you off course. You may be striving for something selfless or compassionate, but it can be easy to tip over into sacrificial or passive.
