  • Mercury in Sagittarius square Chiron in Pisces: 24 deg
  • Mercury in Sagittarius trine Uranus Rx in Aries: 24 deg
  • Venus in Sagittarius square Neptune in Pisces: 11 deg

From last week’s horoscopes:

” …Mercury Rx in Sagittarius repeats its square to Chiron/trine to Uranus Rx, from November 24th and 25th. This will be the same painful conversation/information, but now you can make headway as you talk it out or explore solutions. A square between Venus in Sagittarius and Neptune in Pisces on the same day can make it tempting to ignore your problems, and there’s a danger of wanting something that doesn’t exist. Or, wanting more than is realistically possible. Venus/Neptune can be dreamy in small doses, but seriously undermining if you chug the entire bottle.”  

Some additional thoughts – with the Venus/Neptune confusion and Mercury/Chiron sensitivities, today will not be a neat and tidy day. You could read too much into a situation and discover a painful truth (again). You could question the nature of a belief, or your belief in someone. It’s all open-ended at the moment. 

What can you believe in?

Venus/Neptune can be beautiful and (when used judiciously) that bubble of hope can keep you afloat. So don’t give up. Don’t deny what hurts, but don’t let it drown you. And take note of that Mercury/Uranus trine  – the oddest things can give you just enough inspiration to keep swimming. We are in the midst of Mercury Rx, so the story has not been completed.

 

December 2nd, 2017: Ecstasy

  • Jupiter in Scorpio trine Neptune in Pisces: 11 deg
  • Ceres in Leo conjunct the North Node: 17 deg

Jupiter/Neptune is the first of three trines (May 25th, 2018 and July 10th, 2018 are the other dates when this aspect will be exact). Jupiter and Neptune are both expansive influences – Jupiter stretches the limits and Neptune dissolves them. Combine the two, and you get a very slippery slide into something deep (Scorpio) and dreamy (Pisces). And, the trine is such an easy influence that nothing will stand in your way. It will be natural and effortless. 

This can be an addiction-enabler or a dissolver of fears. Jupiter plus Neptune means transcendent ideals and euphoric truths. Jupiter will encourage you to go all the way, and Neptune will whisper that it’s pure. Or, that you don’t have to worry about anything. Just let it happen.

A trine is normally a positive aspect, but in this case, I think much depends on what’s happening in your life and where this trine will hit your chart. It can plunge you into something, but will that help or undermine you? Pay close attention to what you’re plunging into, because you’ll end up submerged. And it will feel good. If this is a healthy path for you, it should continue to feel good. But if this is an addiction or illusion, eventually you’ll hit a point where the bubble bursts and the euphoria sours. 

Ceres/North Node is the moment when that special creation or area of confidence/joy can open a door to the future. Maybe you’ve nurtured a project/purpose to the point where you can see the next stage of its growth. Here’s the opportunity to take it further – take it into the spotlight, where you’ve always known it should be.
