March 3rd, 2019: Stubborn Challenges

by  •

  • Moon in Aquarius trine Juno in Gemini (7 deg)

  • Moon in Aquarius sextile Ceres in Sagittarius (10 deg)

  • Moon in Aquarius square Mars in Taurus (11 deg)

The Aquarius Moon starts off with a harmonious trine to Juno, encouraging open-minded choices in relationships and agreements. This is not the time to demand a commitment – Moon in Aquarius is about freedom which supports Juno in Gemini’s flexible choices.

Moon/Ceres then suggests nurturing which supports the exploration of whatever’s new and unusual. Ceres is about mother’s nurturing and nourishment. When it harmonizes with the Moon (the archetype of mother/child) we have a strong focus on nurturing an independent spirit. Growth is achieved by venturing into the unknown.

But the Moon runs into a square with Mars, which will present some bumps in today’s smooth flow. Mars in Taurus is stubborn, habitual actions. In a crisis-aspect to the Moon we have the potential for anger and resentment that’s triggered when independence become threatening.

Expect some challenges; either your freedom will trigger someone or someone’s individuality will conflict with your efforts. Taurus and Aquarius are both Fixed signs, so tension will not be easily diffused. Both parties will dig in and demand that things go their way.

  • Sun in Pisces sextile Mars in Taurus (9 deg)

Sun/Mars presents a gentle boost of initiative. Mars in Taurus is gradual movement and this will ground Pisces’ dreams. It won’t present as a radical surge of “do it” energy, but if you’re conscious of what’s happening you should be able to sense quiet potential.

Good for manifestation if you’re prepared to get real and if you have patience. The confidence to make it happen is based on physical effort and proof.

Look at what you can do right now. What are some practical steps that you can take? Nothing fancy and nothing fast- this is about taking a dream and planting it in the ground. Pisces is the exalted potential that waters the earth and Mars in Taurus expends the effort to make it grow.

Mars enters Fixed Earth sign Taurus on February 14th. Actions, anger, sexual energy and initiative become focused on survival – what’s real and most valuable.

This is a deliberate placement for Mars. It’s about doing what needs to be done in order to survive and thrive. Momentum can slow which will allow you to carefully consider your next move. This is not about impulse or risk – don’t try to rush or push a situation faster/further than it wants to go. Mars in Taurus is patient and focused on long-term gain. This is a builder’s energy – many actors known for their amazing physiques have natal Mars in Taurus.

Consider what you can build during this transit. Don’t expect quick results, but imagine what you could accomplish if you focused your energy in the same direction, day after day? Taurus is about routine, and this is the building block of all great accomplishments.

This transit is excellent for looking out for yourself in a financial or emotional situation. It can also be an intensely sensual and indulgent influence as physicality and comfort are emphasized. Mars in Taurus can be basic – if it feels good it’s a yes and if it doesn’t feel good it’s a no. Pay attention to what feels pleasurable/secure. Watch for physical reactions that tell you if a scenario is positive or not – trust your body.

Here are the aspects Mars in Taurus will make:

  • Feb 27th: sextile the Pisces Sun (9 deg)

  • Feb 28th: inconjunct Ceres in Sagittarius (9 deg)

  • Mar 10th: sextile Neptune in Pisces (16 deg)

  • Mar 14th: trine Saturn in Capricorn (18 deg)

  • Mar 20th: trine Pluto in Capricorn (22 deg)

  • Mar 21st: inconjunct Jupiter in Sagittarius (23 deg)

  • Mar 22nd: trine the Capricorn South Node (24 deg)

  • Mar 22nd: sextile Vesta in Pisces (24 deg)

  • Mar 23rd: inconjunct Pallas Rx in Libra (25 deg)

  • Mar 24th: square Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (25 deg)

  • Mar 31st: Gemini ingress

Feb 12th, 2019: Ground Yourself

by  •

  • First Quarter Square between the Taurus Moon and Aquarius Sun (23 deg)

  • Vesta in Pisces square Ceres in Sagittarius (5 deg)

The First Quarter Square brings a crisis between liberation (Aquarius) and routine (Taurus). What’s new and unusual may now feel a bit too crazy and you may encounter a block that forces you to slow down.

This square is the “crisis in action” aspect so forward movement is still necessary, but in this case it’s movement of a different kind. Rather than floating above the issue and exploring the theoretical what ifs, it’s time to come down to earth and take slow, solid steps. This might feel a bit dull, but it’s necessary so you can ground yourself.

The square between Vesta (devotion) and Ceres (nurturing) tells us a bit more about today’s tension. Vesta in Pisces wants to withdraw and contemplate while Ceres in Sag wants to overwhelm with expansive care and protection. Vesta in Pisces is pure and spiritual (or magical) while Ceres in Sag can trample over sensitivities in the rush to nurture (and the rush to do what’s best).

Consider how the dynamics of withdrawal versus nurturing are playing out now – there could be a crisis of faith around mothering or care for someone who is ill (perhaps they don’t want help or require a different kind of nurturing).

  • Moon in Taurus trine Venus in Capricorn (9 deg)

The Venus-ruled Taurus Moon makes one, major aspect. The trine to Venus would normally be quite indulgent, but Capricorn adds an edge of practicality and discipline. So the vibe is about solid acquisition -real proof of love, security and values.

This emphasized Venus energy is good for focusing on what has the most value. What’s worthiest and what makes you feel most secure? This is not romantic or wishful: look at the reality of what you love, want and have.
