  • Venus in Gemini square Neptune Rx in Pisces (18 deg)

Building on yesterday’s aspects to Venus, today’s square to Neptune will trigger a crisis between what you want/have (Venus) versus the dream (Neptune). Choices regarding money, relationships or self-esteem can be blurred and expanded as Neptune dissolves logic and facts. You may give up and become disappointed or pin your hopes on an illusion. The romantic dream will be distracting but ultimately hollow.

As vague choices or lovely words swirl around you, use caution. The crisis of the square is meant to draw your attention to a “leak” where resources, values or self-esteem will be undermined by unwise decisions. Neptune Rx can reveal truths if you question the shimmering illusion in front of you – look closely.

There’s potential for creativity or beauty, but to make the most of this you would have to be very conscious of the tension between fantasy versus reality. If you can avoid being blinded by the illusion (or your disillusionment) this energy could be very fruitful.

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 14th, 2019: Mars in Cancer Opposes Saturn Rx

  • Waxing Inconjunct between the Scorpio Moon and Gemini Sun (23 deg)

  • Mars in Cancer trine Neptune in Pisces (18 deg)

  • Mars in Cancer opposite Saturn Rx in Capricorn (18 deg)

  • Mars in Cancer inconjunct Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (18 deg)

An uneasy day, as the Waxing Inconjunct demands depth in a light situation. While it may be quicker and easier to flip through the information, there’s something beneath the surface that can’t be ignored. One choice or fact needs to be examined more closely for an uncomfortable truth. Before you can progress any further, you need to dip into the deep end.

And Mars is opposing Saturn Rx. This is a tough one, as action/anger/passion is blocked or repressed. Mars in Cancer is the volatile, emotional push and Saturn is the restrictive authority. You could run up against someone who demands you grow up or forces you to stop. An opposition is a culmination, so this could also be a hard ending. Saturn is Rx, so the rule/limit is something you’ve encountered before.

Mars’ inconjunct to Jupiter Rx suggests a struggle to be free (from Saturn). But this aspect is a tense one, so there could be uneven surges of anger or bursts of exaggerated action that quickly fizzle out. Flailing about is not the way to deal with today’s influences.

Mars’ calm trine to Neptune can help, as it suggests a gentle, measured flow of release and acceptance. You’re not crouched in defeat (although you may be tempted to freeze up and curl up). Rather, you take a deep breath, accept that there are certain limits and responsibilities, then focus your energy in a direction where you can move. Mars/Neptune can help you transcend frustration, cruelty and delays if you stop fighting and just go where the current takes you. And Neptune indicates that there is another direction you can flow in -perhaps around that block?

June 13th, 2019: Venus in Gemini Sextile Chiron

  • Venus in Gemini sextile Chiron in Aries (5 deg)

There’s more than one way to deal with the wound, as long as you keep it light. Venus in Gemini is the multi-layered social interaction or new understanding of what’s beautiful. If you open your eyes and talk about what you want (or listen to what they want) you’ll discover empathy for what hurts.

This is a gentle influence – not heavy or emotionally charged. You touch on what hurts and then move away. Perhaps you return from a different angle, then move away again. At the same time, Chiron adds a bit of texture to Venus’ sometimes-superficial approach as the suggestion of awkwardness or fear adds a layer of attraction.

Maybe you can even muster a smile – this does not invalidate the pain.
