  • First Quarter Square between the Libra Moon and Cancer Sun (16 deg)

  • Moon in Libra square Saturn Rx/South Node in Capricorn (17 deg)

  • Sun in Cancer conjunct the North Node, opposite Saturn Rx/South Node in Capricorn (17 deg)

The First Quarter Square involves the Nodes and Saturn Rx, so there’s extra oomph. Something is out of balance – old rules/traditions/fears need to be addressed, as well as family issues. It feels very personal and subjective, but there’s a prompt that encourages you to step back and balance your needs with another’s.

This will feel uncomfortable: you’ll feel like focusing on your stuff while curling up and hugging your blanket/cat/bottle of wine. The very act of trying to balance anything may feel like too much work. But the way forward (the Sun conjoins the North Node) is only open if you can view the past and future objectively. That means taking action – correct the imbalance, tend to that old responsibility, finalize the ending. Consider how your needs impact others.

The Moon squaring the Nodes means this balance is crucial – you are at the tipping point between past and future. There may be a specific relationship, or this could just be about you bringing your life back into balance. Saturn Rx will apply pressure, forcing you to focus, grow up or do the work. You may need to balance adult with child, authority with empathy, independence with vulnerability.

Becoming Self-Sufficient | Starcana Cosmic Dirt

Vibrations shift this week as Mars (energy, desires) moves from passive Cancer, into brave-heart Leo on Monday, July 1. 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 […]

Seeing Possibilities

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 […]

Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself

All that we’ve been learning and experiencing will be in the light of the adventurous Sagittarius Full Moon, Monday June 17. Intentions from the Gemini New Moon will come to peak. We’ll have our fifteen minutes of shine, which will allow for the process of letting go, release, and an ending. Where we’ve felt caged […]

June 12th, 2019: The Natural Choice

  • Waxing Trine between the Libra Moon and Gemini Sun (21 deg)

  • Venus in Gemini opposite Ceres Rx in Sagittarius (4 deg)

  • Venus in Gemini square Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (4 deg)

  • Mars in Cancer conjunct the North Node (17 deg)

The Waxing Trine allows you to blend relationship prompts with choices and new information. Excellent for socializing, sharing with others and making the natural choice regarding social interactions. The exchange of information should move effortlessly and in a balanced way.

The Mars/North Node conjunction adds to the encouragement, as actions based on needs and emotions carry you forward. Stepping away from the past and into an area that’s satisfying and speaks to you on a gut level is emphasized – do not be afraid to do what feels right even if you can’t articulate it.

However, continuing the story from yesterday’s Ceres/BML square, we see Venus in Gemini opposing Ceres and squaring Lilith. Different facets of female energy are at odds – the mother (Ceres) the taboo woman (BML) and the more familiar/typical expression of femininity (Venus). Choices about relationships and/or expressing your female identity are in flux. None of the choices will be easy, as they oppose an area of nurturing and trigger a crisis around undermining or “unacceptable” female sexual energy. Maybe two women or two sides yourself will be involved (Gemini means duality).

And yet, the choices must be (carefully) explored and the options weighed. Venus rules the Libra Moon, so the Waxing Trine can help with this. Choose what comes naturally and go in the direction that seems to be unfolding most easily. You won’t be able to make everyone happy, but that’s not what this is about.

At the same time, keep in mind that Mars over the North Node means you are moving forward. You’re doing it differently this time. Break those old habits.

Surf the Incoming Wave, or Surrender To It

As we journey into this new week; there’s a good chance of some experiences being blown out of proportion with the amplified Sun/Jupiter opposition on Monday June 10. Something pretty significant seems to be coming our way, and rather than get TOO lost in it – practice a little gratitude and humility to stay balanced. […]
