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

  • 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.

June 18th, 2019: Making it Real

  • Mercury in Cancer conjunct Mars (21 deg)

  • Saturn Rx in Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces (18 deg)

Mercury/Mars is the unification of words and actions, driven by emotions. This can be a powerful aspect if used wisely – tune into what feels most authentic/urgent and make sure your words are aligned with what you do.

Do what you think, think what you do. Walk the talk, especially if passion/anger is involved.

The second Saturn/Neptune sextile underscores the above with a subtle but important energy. Form (Saturn) harmonizes with formlessness (Neptune) to make things real. But any combo of Saturn and Neptune also suggests sacrifice, so you may have to give something up in order to manifest the dream.

Refer back to Jan 31st for the first Saturn/Neptune sextile for a hint about what this issue might be. It won’t jump up and grab you, but it will be a persistent, background energy.

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 16th, 2019: Mercury Opposite Saturn and the Jupiter/Neptune Square

  • Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius square Neptune in Pisces (18 deg)

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

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

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

The second Jupiter/Neptune square once again confronts you with a crisis between ideals versus dreams. These are both expansive influences, and when they form a tense aspect what’s growing is often too much and not real.

The first square occured on January 13th, but now Jupiter is Rx so you’re revisiting that exaggerated promise – looking closely at the truth behind the beautiful hope. Jupiter Rx can reveal things as you’re pushed to adjust perspective and concentrate your vision in one area.

During the first square, Mercury was in Capricorn and conjoined Saturn (at 12 deg). Now, Mercury is in Cancer and forming an exact opposition to Saturn. So there is a congruent theme of real (Saturn) words (Mercury). What began during the Mercury/Saturn conjunction has reached a conclusion during the second Jupiter/Neptune square. So you’re not totally lost on the sea of illusion. You have this reality-check message; an official document, conversation or understanding. You can choose to ignore it of course and get swept up in the euphoria of the dream (or escape) but you have to admit there’s a current of hard facts running alongside. Information that you’d be wise to attend to.

Now, Mercury does make an inconjunct to Jupiter Rx, so there will be a temptation to grab at what sounds exciting/hopeful without checking the facts. And if the opposition to Saturn is presenting you with a big, fat “No” or severe limits on your speech, it may be really tempting. But it’s not to your benefit to ignore the Saturn opposition- it’s a crucial conclusion that is enforcing your focus. Mercury’s trine to Neptune offers some breathing room if you can exhale, accept the limits as they are and then focus on what you say/write despite the limits.

June 14th saw Mars in Cancer making the same aspects to Saturn, Neptune and Jupiter. What you did then with actions (accept the limits and then move in the direction that felt natural) you’re doing now with words/thoughts. You’re honouring the rules (or ending) while letting your thoughts flow in an alternative direction (the same direction Mars took you). Maybe you’re forgiving or deciding to stop banging your head against that wall.

And all this ties into the truth behind the promise.

Along the Cancer/Capricorn axis we’re dealing with parental dynamics, maturity/helplessness and control versus emotions.

June 15th, 2019: Mercury Conjunct the North Node

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

Keep your eyes open for a key message or messenger. An emotional statement, empathetic observation or information that hits you in the gut are meant to show you the way forward. You may encounter someone who says something that resonates with you personally, whether or not it was for your ears. Or, it could be time to talk openly about family, mother/child issues or your primary needs.

Keeping in mind that Mercury is also opposing the Capricorn South Node, today’s aspect could be somewhat uncomfortable as what you say/hear pushes you away from the rules/traditions of the past and urges you to look at what’s coming up.

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?
