  • Sun in Libra inconjunct Neptune RX in Pisces (16°)

This tricky aspect can see you misinterpreting a partnership issue or attempting to completely avoid compromise. Pride and purpose can be dissolved if you lose your sense of self to another.

Neptune whispers that there is something that transcends your one-on-one connections. There is more at stake than the partnership, or your social life. The key will be maintaining that balance between the reality of your relationships versus the understanding that it’s not all about your relationships. Neptune is transpersonal and encompasses everyone.

When you feel delusion or misunderstanding creeping into your relationships, take a step back and try to distance yourself. See where that point of balance is between you and another and then consider the bigger issue. Is more compassion needed? Have you been caring too much about making others happy? 

In general, this aspect can make it difficult to maintain your centre in any one -on -one contact. There will be doubts about how to express your ego, and you may err on the side of sacrificing your pride for the sake of harmony.

Honoring Our Spirit | Starcana Cosmic Dirt

by  • 

Intentions may feel a bit tested this week, between the irritable Mercury/Uranus opposition, a restrictive Sun/Saturn square on Monday October 7 – and the finicky Venus/Uranus opposition on Saturday October 12. An unexpected shift could be hard to resist, as overpowering winds aim to send us off into another direction. Stay mindful, in order to […]

October 7th, 2019: Clarity and Limits

  • Mercury in Scorpio opposite Uranus RX in Taurus (5°)

  • Libra Sun square Saturn in Capricorn (14°)

Today we experience the contrasting energies of liberation and restriction. Uranus casts its clear light of detachment and revolution on Mercury in Scorpio’s shadowed words. The curtain is ripped back, the taboo is spoken out loud, the secret is exposed for everyone to see. A result or ending will be involved. Mercury in Scorpio is intimate and enclosed; You’ll be forced to step back from this so you can get a clearer view.

You may be speaking/ seeing forbidden truths or they may be forced upon you by an outside source. Either way, this is about liberating yourself from what was secret.

But Sun/Saturn clamps down, creating a pressured turning point. Rules or obligations can indicate enforced social protocol or relationship restrictions. Listen to what Mercury/Uranus is telling you- this will help you turn that corner and decide if the rules are still valid or not.

Perhaps you learn something about how authority/commitment functions in your life.

October 6th, 2019: Turning Point

  • Libra Sun square the Capricorn South Node/Cancer North Node  (13°)

  • Jupiter in Sagittarius square Juno in Virgo (19°)

Today is a day of turning points.

Sun square the Nodes says that you have a choice in a relationship, exchange or issue that involves balance. You can stick with the old rules/ traditions or move forward to something that’s unfamiliar but more emotionally satisfying and nurturing. 

This is been an ongoing issue since September 22nd when Mercury in Libra squared the Nodes and September 25th when Venus in Libra did the same. Mercury and Venus highlighted specific issues, but the Sun will act as a general spotlight and reminder that you still need to address an imbalance. The crisis of this difficult choice is your turning point.

Jupiter/Juno tells us more about this. Lofty ideals and expansion will challenge the specifics of a relationship agreement. There may be an urge to race past the tedious details, but that in itself can expose flaws and discontent in the relationship. Perhaps dwelling on the flaws is ruining the partnership’s future.

Juno was Jupiter’s wife in mythology. She remained faithful to him despite his constant philandering. So when this archetypal couple forms a hard aspect, we can also expect issues of freedom versus fidelity plus relationship right versus wrong. In this case, Juno is demanding a detailed account of the present (where are we now) while Jupiter would rather concentrate on the future. 

Again, this can describe the turning point in your relationships. What is unacceptable to you- the specifics or the promises/ ideals? Is compromise possible? Whose version of the truth is “correct”?

October 5th, 2019: Crisis and Discomfort

by  •

  • First Quarter Square between the Capricorn Moon and Libra Sun (12°)

  • Mercury in Scorpio inconjunct Chiron RX in Aries (3°)

The 1st Quarter Square triggers a crisis between relationships and boundaries. Libra Sun wants to be sociable and agreeable, but Capricorn says it’s time to say “No” or express your authority. This will feel uncomfortable, but it will be even more uncomfortable to try to make everyone happy. Take action and draw your line.

Mercury/ Chiron adds to the discomfort as deep analysis or intense words reveal painful issues. You may be tempted to not look at or speak about the taboo issue because the wound is still fresh. Or, you may be so preoccupied with fighting the ongoing battle that you forget to look beneath the surface. 

Chiron RX means you are revisiting a previous wound and this is the ideal moment to uncover more information/ secrets. Don’t be afraid to look deeper this time around. The 1st Quarter Square indicates that events will push you forward if you act -you can progress. You just have to be willing to confront the ugly stuff.

September 29th, 2019: Sun Inconjunct Uranus

  • Sun in Libra inconjunct Uranus in Taurus (5°)

Uranus in Taurus demands radical changes to set habits and resources. But the inconjunct to the Sun says these changes will be difficult to integrate with a relationship or the overall equality of a situation. 

There maybe sudden urges to express yourself in odd ways. Or, the harmony between you and another may be unexpectedly disrupted. Change (and freedom) is necessary but not at the expense of balance. 

The challenge of this aspect is to find a way to work with what’s unworkable. Some disruptions (like changes to finances and security) can be out of your control as they push you to the extreme end of your tolerance. If this happens, step back and detach yourself from panicky reactions.

The point of balance has shifted -find the new centre.
