Mercury/Jupiter opens the Scorpio can of worms. Secrets and frighteningly intimate facts expand to the point where they cannot be ignored. But Jupiter is also about intuition and faith. So the upside is a rare opportunity to unite logic with intuition, and power ahead based on the confidence that you’ve got it right. And you probably do have it right, if you’re giving voice to your intuition. This energy can also help you mine hidden strategies and resources – you may have more than you think.
Mars’ male energy challenges Lilith’s mouthy outsider in a battle of sexual power. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, and Virgo is ruled by Mercury, so this square is directly tied into the Mercury/Jupiter conjunction. Disruptive female energy is given a voice and Jupiter in Scorpio suggests more stories will rise from the depths. As I wrote in this post, Lilith in Sag has a crusade.
In general terms, the square between Virgo and Sag represents the tension between details and the big story. Also, the truth (Sagittarius) about what’s wrong (Virgo). Facts will be disputed, and the battle may be about details that seem insignificant. If you’re caught up in a battle, know that little inaccuracies and picky details are not inconsequential. Honour your facts. And don’t allow yourself to be intimidated (Mars) by someone who uses guilt and shame (Virgo) as a weapon (Mars).
The above works both ways. If you want to speak, speak your truth. If you don’t want to speak, that’s your right as well.
BML is agitating (in all her outcast glory) with an enabling trine to Uranus. This aspect encourages taboo and disruptive women’s issues – freedom for whatever makes the patriarchy and polite society uncomfortable.
And this energy will be at odds with polite society, due to the square between Venus and Lilith. Specifically, Virgo’s ultra-correct expression of female energy. Here is the clichéd good girl/bad girl dichotomy – Virgo’s purity versus Sagittarius’ wildness. And Uranus will make things difficult for poor Venus, as he jolts her with panicky reminders that this scenario is messy.
The above could manifest as an internal struggle: you’re stuck between the obligation to be “good” versus rabidly honest. Or, someone may play the Venus role, with you as Lilith (or vice versa). Both sides have merit. Venus asks why BML insists on ignoring certain facts in her lust to be recognized. Parts of the real story (the dry but important parts) may be glossed over. Lilith asks why Venus is so insanely critical, neurotic and repressive. Why is it unclean to break the rules?
Mars will be zero help. He’s locked in a battle with Saturn – restricted actions, repressed anger and oppressive responsibilities.
Overall, today’s vibe is clamped down and judgemental. Something/someone is struggling to come out, but there will be a host of rules, picky details and critiques to navigate. As oppressive as those rules and details will be, they cannot be ignored. There’s work (Mars/Saturn) to do, even if you want to rebel.
Pluto strengthens Venus’ standards. Relationships, finances and self-esteem will benefit from attention to detail and a desire for the best. Pluto can intensify Virgo’s perfectionism, even with the harmonious trine. This shouldn’t be a problem unless you’re not prepared to make the healthiest choice for yourself.
BML/Chiron suggests that the taboo sexual/woman’s issue will uncover a raw patch. This square can hi-light the wound of the woman on the fringes, or the pain of sexual exploitation. Lilith in Sag pushes the boundaries of what’s acceptable, while drawing everyone’s attention to those expanding boundaries. The Chiron square doesn’t mean this is wrong, but it won’t be easy to step out of line or do what a woman “shouldn’t” do.
Mercury/Juno can trigger conflict about relationship rules or the mutual understanding of commitment. A partnership agreement could hit a snag, with more discussion needed.
This is a mixed day for relationships. Use the Pluto trine to enable an improvement by embracing honesty, practicality and complete acceptance of your current reality.
