December 10th, 2017: Keep Swimming

  • 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. 

 

An Ocean of Hope

New Moon blessings! In the midst of what has been decaying and falling away lately; if we dare to shift our footing onto something more solid, we can gain a whole new perspective into what we’ve been looking at. When gazing from a different angle, we should be able to see the beginning of a […]

November 3rd, 2017: Calm Release

  • Venus in Libra sextile Saturn in Sagittarius: 24 deg
  • Venus in Libra inconjunct Chiron Rx in Pisces: 24 deg
  • Sun in Scorpio trine Neptune Rx in Pisces: 11 deg

Venus is the dominant energy today. Her sextile with Saturn suggests quiet developments in money, relationship and self-esteem matters. Nothing flashy, just a reminder to calmly approach Venus issues. Be disciplined (Saturn) about balancing (Libra) your wants. Be an adult (Saturn) about this. 

Venus/Chiron may present a painful reminder. Developments could trigger an insecurity – you feel unloved, unattractive, etc. This is where Saturn comes in. When you experience that brief moment of social embarrassment, or you feel “unacceptable” Saturn’s steady hand will urge you to look at the bigger picture (Sagittarius). There’s more going on than your awkward moment.

Sun/Neptune encourages you to immerse yourself in something deeper. Yes, your Venus issue is important, but there’s also a reservoir of compassion, creativity or peace. And you can only access it if you take one step back from the surface stuff (how you look/how they look/how well you’re liked). If you find yourself dwelling excessively on a relationship/self-esteem problem, release your concerns about appearance and open yourself up to what lies beneath (the deeper truth, even if it’s ugly). Accept what you have and release the yearning for what you don’t have.

Any combination of Neptune and the Sun transcends the ego. Add in Scorpio, and you have the potential to empower yourself by letting go of grasping, controlling, compulsive behaviour. Stop trying to influence others, and see what happens.
