  • Venus in Virgo trine Uranus Rx in Taurus (6 deg)

  • Pallas enters Scorpio

Venus/Uranus integrates change (Uranus) with financial/relationship/self-esteem issues in a gradual way. The update can occur in a step-by-step manner: a little adjustment here and there is all that’s needed to improve (Virgo) those Venus issues and approach what you want/love in new (Uranus) way.

Taurus is ruled by Venus, so there’s extra resonance in this aspect. Uranus in Taurus might be triggering some radical changes to habits or resources, but since it’s Rx at the moment the pace has probably slowed. Hooking up with Venus in Virgo, it’s the perfect time to zero in on the details – really get in there and change the way you relate to others, yourself or your money. Pinpoint the exact thing that’s not quite right.

Pallas into Scorpio is intensive strategies. This transit is about digging into the uncomfortable stuff/secrets and gaining profound insight about what most people don’t want to touch. Excellent for research or planning that involves psychological issues. This is the covert “battle strategy” that involves manipulation or accessing deeper resources in order to win.

Since Pallas involves pattern recognition, this can also be about seeing the deeper connections that have previously been obscured. Effective solutions involve going beyond the point where most people are comfortable, but that’s where the raw truth lies.

Consider how this Scorpio ingress can assist you with Venus/Uranus improvements.

Pallas will exit Scorpio for Sagittarius on Nov 8th.

August Asteroids

Taking a quick look at what the asteroids are up to at the moment. Juno, Pallas, Ceres and Vesta move slowly enough to have serious impact, and quickly enough to be entertaining. Getting to know your asteroids adds a little turmeric and chili, ginger and garlic to your horoscopic stew. Especially relevant for some signs, of course. Some ideas to ponder when it comes to social contracts…

Rediscovering Our Inner Wild  | Starcana Cosmic Dirt

Do you remember the distraction that happened a few months ago?

Since this awkward sense of footing, we’ve been learning how to get back on our […]

August 7th, 2019: First Quarter Square and the Shadow Behind the Shine

by  •

  • 1st Quarter Square between the Scorpio Moon and Leo Sun (14 deg)

  • Sun in Leo trine Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (14 deg)

  • Sun in Leo inconjunct Saturn Rx in Capricorn (15 deg)

  • Scorpio Moon sextile Saturn Rx in Capricorn (15 deg)

The First Quarter Square triggers a crisis between depth and shine, dark and light. The Leo Sun (amped up by Jupiter) represents a showy, optimistic situation. It’s loud and proud, bold and beautiful. But the Scorpio Moon brings a darker undertone of something you don’t want to acknowledge – the shadow behind the shine. And yet, this darkness is necessary for you to fully understand the brightness. There’s more than meets the eye – shadow work to be done. In order to enhance what you’re proud of, you need to dig deeper.

The Sun’s inconjunct to Saturn emphasizes this through inconvenient limits, rules or authority. Watch for some brakes on your ego – someone with more power may tell you what’s not possible. As unpleasant as this is, the Moon’s supportive sextile to Saturn reminds you that these limits can be stabilizing. Really dig into the area around those boundaries. There can be deeper, richer resources in these narrow but immovable veins.

Limits create focus which creates concentrated energy; mine the restrictions for enhanced power.

August 6th, 2019: Not A Smooth Day

by  •

  • Libra Moon square Mercury in Cancer (25 deg)

  • Moon Void of Course in Libra (3:35 AM EDT)

  • Moon enters Scorpio (11:31 AM EDT)

  • Moon in Scorpio opposes Uranus in Taurus (6 deg)

The last aspect before the Moon goes VOC is a troublesome square to Mercury in Cancer. Emotional words/thoughts will disrupt the balance – the attempt to keep things light and harmonious will be challenged by moody/needy/sensitive Mercury.

If you try to gloss over this crisis, it will get worse. Confront the feels head on while keeping in mind that it’s not all about you or them. Don’t expect smooth moments, and use the brief VOC to exhale and process.

As the Moon enters Scorpio and opposes Uranus, the previous disruptions will lead to something deeper. The info that was saturated in emotion will push the situation to an intense tipping point. Attempts to maintain control/power will be immediately upended by a shock – this could be a truth that exposes a secret, or an unexpected display of freedom. The Scorpio/Taurus axis is about core survival issues, so this will be felt on a deep level.

Keep your eyes open and fearlessly stare down what’s been revealed in the shadows; this is not the time to shy away.
