One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

With an easy flow between Mercury/Mars/Neptune, creativity and harmony are injected into the first half of the week. These soft vibrations will offer an opportunity for us to move along ‘with’ the waves; so that we may know what is safe to grasp onto, and what remains slippery as Mars transits nurturing Cancer. Through all of […]

Aug 2017 Lunar Eclipse Hits The Confederacy’s Sun

August 2017: Lunar and Solar Eclipse Alerts for the White House?

In January 2013 I posted here the natal horoscope of The Confederacy with its Sun @15Aquarius. The Confederacy Sun will be eclipsed on August 7, 2017 by a Lunar Eclipse @15AQ and given the infiltration of the White House by Klansmen (or by KKK supporters and sympaticos, Mr. Bannon in particular who just loves to employ the power

Social Program Cuts? Republicans Can’t Shoot Butter

Republicans to Slash Needed Domestic Programs to Fund More War and Conquest

by Jude Cowell

Since Mr. Trump and the Republicans have their knives out intending to gut social programs for the weak, ill, and aging among us while massive tax cuts are put in place for the wealthy class, a review of the History of Medicare and Medicaid seems timely. And as you know, in 1972 (under Nixon) an expansion

May 19th, 2017: Enjoy What You Have

Arthur Hacker

  • Sun in Taurus squares the North Node in Leo/South Node in Aquarius: 28 degrees
  • Venus in Aries opposes Jupiter Rx in Libra: 13 degrees
  • Mars in Gemini inconjunct Pluto Rx in Capricorn: 19 degrees

The Taurus Sun (ruling the North Node) presents you with a choice. There’s something you’re struggling to preserve or build up, and ideally, it should make you proud (Leo North Node). But a situation from the past, involving disruption or detachment, may tempt you to throw up your hands and walk away. Not so fast – this is the moment where you stand fast and say “Look what I’ve created.” Walk towards the spotlight. Enjoy what you have. 

Venus/Jupiter hits the same degree Venus was at when she stationed Rx in Aries (March 4th). This culmination will be based on that date. Results may be big and beautiful, as you receive a massive helping of what you want. But this aspect can also exaggerate Venus themes, so expectations about relationships/money may encourage you to push it too far/spend too much. Nonetheless, any aspect between Venus and Jupiter (especially Jupiter in Venus-ruled Libra) suggests social opportunity – there should be a way to attract more of what you love. Think back to March 4th for a hint about what these results might be. 

Mars/Pluto suggests uneven arguments or choices. Mars’ assertiveness is fired up by Pluto, but unconscious factors can trigger actions/anger that end up being far more intense than the situation warrants. Before you choose, consider your true motivation. If you’re on the receiving end of someone’s pushiness, consider that they may not be fully aware of what they’re doing.

Pluto Generations – The Evolution Of Our Society

by Kevin Estes

In generational astrology, the sign Pluto is in represents the role that your age group will play in regards to the evolution of society, as Pluto is the transformer. It also indicates the core reality of your age group (Pluto in Cancer is family oriented and patriotic, Pluto in Leo is creative and individualistic, Pluto in Virgo

April 8th, 2017: When It Hurts

  • Sun in Aries square Pluto in Capricorn: 19 degrees
  • Venus Rx in Pisces square Saturn Rx in Sagittarius: 27 degrees

Shadow Power

Sun/Pluto can trigger a crisis that shines a light on shadow issues. New beginnings, freedom or impulse will have a darker side, as anxiety leaks through. A square involving Pluto intensifies its power, even though fear of weakness is increased (overcompensation is the result). 

When confronted with this aspect, consider what’s behind the aggression. You may be the one compulsively charging ahead, or someone else may react to your initiative.

The Venus/Saturn Dance

Venus Rx/Saturn Rx can feel like a painful deadlock, as you revisit an issue and encounter limits. Those limits are reality. Whether you see that you have to end something, or intensify your focus on what you want, the way forward involves accepting reality. This is what you can’t have. This is what you must do. It will be obvious – Saturn always is. 

This square will perfect again on April 21st (27 degrees) when Venus is direct. From April 8th to the 27th, they will remain within orb of each other, which means the square will be active for the entire time. And Chiron will be lurking in the background, at 26 degrees Pisces.

I know – not fun. But this is the current reality, so let’s deal with it. Chiron’s influence means this will be an essential confrontation with a wound – what you’re afraid of losing, where you feel least attractive, where you feel less worthy. Where you hurt. You can’t avoid this (Saturn won’t let you) and that will be a good thing. You’ll either push past the pain and get what you want, or you’ll understand that it’s time to focus your energy elsewhere. 

Even with Saturn’s structure, Venus in Pisces is still about allowing – it will happen or it won’t. You’ll know whether you should give it one, last try, or whether you should just let go. Sun/Pluto may urge you to struggle against the inevitable. But that’s just your fear talking. Sun/Pluto really wants you to evolve. Stop fighting it and just go with the deconstruction.

Yes, this applies even if you are on track to getting something desirable. The prospect of finally hearing “yes” can stir up all kinds of fears. What if it hurts? What if you’re exposed? These things may happen. But it will hurt even more to remain frozen in your current state.  The message in these aspects is that it hurts to love, whether you’re opening yourself up or shutting something down. You can’t avoid the pain, but you can take the sweetness of release, or the joy of acceptance, as part of the package.
