February 28th, 2019: Taking Gentle Control

  • Sun in Pisces square Ceres in Sagittarius (9 deg)

  • Waning Sextile between the Pisces Sun and Capricorn Moon (10 deg)

  • Venus in Capricorn square Pallas Rx in Libra (29 deg)

Waxing Sextile

The Sun/Ceres square can illuminate tension around nurturing as Pisces’ release/vagueness clashes with Ceres in Sag’s enthusiastic (and pushy) expressions of care. As more care is offered the situation may become less certain. Too, a discordant truth (or loss of faith) about mothering or nourishment may be revealed.

The Waxing Sextile can provide some help as maturity and commitment (Capricorn) gives form to what’s vague (Pisces). If you’re trying to care for someone or nurture a project/potential and are frustrated by what’s undefined, this sextile encourages you to take control by gently (this is not about lowering the hammer) steering events. Step in as the compassionate parent and do what needs to be done.

Venus/Pallas

Venus/Pallas suggests some relationship tension as rules about partnerships, money or values clash with social strategies. Pallas is in a Venus-ruled sign, but Libra wants everything to be nice and pretty while Venus in Capricorn is all business. Strategies used to appease or obliquely win a battle will not blend with stricter (and more direct) definitions of what the other person wants.

Consider who’s in control and what has greater value: politeness or authority? Pallas’ Rx status is a hint, because this means strategies are currently under revision.

February 21st, 2019: A Difficult Day For Relationships

by  •

  • Moon in Libra opposite Chiron in Aries (0 deg)

  • Waning Inconjunct between the Libra Moon and Pisces Sun (2 deg)

  • Libra Moon inconjunct Mars in Taurus (5 deg)

A difficult day for the Libra Moon and relationships in general.

The Moon/Chiron opposition can trigger some painful issues, including feeling out of place, unloved or unappreciated. The mood will be very, very sensitive and hurt feelings are likely.

The Moon then moves into a difficult Waning Inconjunct, presenting an adjustment to the results of February 19th’s Full Moon – awkward dynamics of give and take, balance or compromise must be factored into the Full Moon’s culmination. You may not want to acknowledge a relationship issue, but it cannot be ignored.

Finally, the Moon makes another inconjunct, this time to Mars. Subjective, stubborn actions that preserve or encourage growth will need to be balanced with the above relationship situation. Someone may not agree with what you’re doing, or perhaps there are accusations of selfishness. Taking any action may feel inappropriate, but while it may feel like a struggle, a compromise can be reached.

In general, be prepared for challenging, one-on-one exchanges today. You’ll have to put in some extra effort to keep things civil.

February 20th, 2019: Uranus Opposite Pallas Rx in Libra

  • Uranus in Aries opposite Pallas Rx in Libra (29 deg)

Uranus makes the second of two oppositions to Pallas in Libra. The first occurred on February 7th:

“Uranus…opposite Pallas does suggest that liberating moves will trigger some imbalances. Pallas in Libra’s polite social strategies will be upended, or even abruptly abandoned.

Note that this opposition (a culmination) takes places at 29 degrees (the final degree). This strongly points to the end of a social issue – you may be liberated or surprised, but either way there’s no going back.”

With today’s repeat of this aspect (due to Pallas’ Rx) you’re not exactly going back, but you are reviewing the ending. Does someone need an extra push? Do you need to reconsider your finishing strategy? Sometimes a Uranus aspect occurs twice because someone is unwilling to accept change.

Pallas Rx indicates that certain aspects of a social/relationship situation are not quite complete. There may be a couple of loose ends to ties up, or a slightly different angle is needed as you approach (or say goodbye to) someone.

Consider this as a chance to get it right. But be prepared for someone (even you) to feel that what’s happening is not nice. Libra does not enjoy being jolted and Uranus in Aries has no patience for the social game.

February 8th, 2019: A Day of Disconnects

by  •

  • Mercury in Aquarius inconjunct North Node in Cancer (26 deg)

  • Pallas in Libra inconjunct Juno in Taurus (29 deg)

An awkward day with a couple of inconjuncts (aspects of incompatibility). The key with this aspect is to adjust both sides so they can work together.

Mercury in Aquarius is innovative or odd ideas (of the future) and the Cancer North Node (path forward) is about developing a new area of comfort and emotional vulnerability. But the unusual information presented by Mercury will feel jarring and may distract you from the place ahead where you can feel safe.

Solution: use edgy (and detached) ideas to drive you forward but don’t ignore core feelings. Respect your needs while being honest.

Pallas/Juno highlights the disconnect between Venus-ruled Libra and Taurus. Pallas in Libra’s strategies reflect another or are focused on being polite/liked/loved. Juno in Taurus is the relationship agreement that is about stability and self-preservation at all costs. Libra is the other and Taurus is personal survival. Here we have social strategies that clash with a set relationship commitment.

Solution: remember that it takes two but don’t sacrifice core values and security.
