October 6th, 2017: Disconnect

  • Mercury in Libra inconjunct Pallas Rx in Taurus: 11 degrees
  • Mercury in Libra inconjunct Neptune Rx in Pisces: 12 degrees

Mercury forms the point of a Yod, a challenging configuration that focuses two, tense aspects (inconjuncts) onto one planet. 

Mercury/Pallas Rx suggests a disconnect between relationship communication and strategies, while Mercury/Neptune Rx can trigger sensitivity and misunderstandings in discussions.

Meanwhile, Pallas and Neptune support each other with a sextile (not exact) – practical, measurable plans to establish security can lead to the manifestation of a dream. You can make the financial or security ideal real. But, the tricky part will be translating this into words that someone will understand and agree with. It’s difficult but doable – aim for clarity (check that they’re hearing you and you’re not misreading them) and compromise. 

Pallas and Neptune’s Rx status indicates that this is not a new issue. You’re revising the plans, although it may be the first time you’ve talked about them openly.

Astrology of Now: The Horses of Neptune

by  • 

Homeric Hymn to Poseidon About Poseidon the great god first I sing, mover of the earth and the barren sea, marine god, who possesses Helicon and broad Aegae. In two parts, Earth-shaker, the gods assigned you your privilege: to be a tamer of horses, and saviour of ships. I salute you, Poseidon, earth-rider, sable-hair. Keep your heart well disposed, blessed one, and assist those at sea. —translation from the Loeb Classical Library Hurricanes, earthquakes, storm surges and floods: Poseidon aka Neptune. Between the eclipse in Leo (Aug 21) and the Full Moon in Pisces conjunct Neptune (September 6), the horses […]

A Temple for Neptune

by  • 

If you enter a room to get something only to forget why you went in; if you discover mid-sentence that you’ve lost your train of thought entirely; if you lost yet another several hours or days doing…(yes, what exactly were you doing?) it’s probably not early dementia –it’s Neptune.  Popular astrological opinion says if we […]

Full Moon in Pisces: Beautiful Dream

by  •

The September 6th Full Moon (13 degrees Pisces) conjoins Neptune Rx (12 degrees). There’s potential for a dream or deception to be illuminated, depending on what’s led up to this result.

Moon/Neptune can be a lovely, expansive culmination that keeps on growing. Neptune’s association with the ultimate means this could be THE result you’ve been waiting for. Endless creativity or romance. Unconditional compassion and healing. The results could ripple outwards and impact the masses – great for reaching as wide an audience as possible.

Moon/Neptune can also be a delusional, sulking mess. What you end up with could disappoint, as the Virgo polarity punctures Pisces’ bubble with hard facts. Or maybe you just slide into the victim zone. 

I’ve described two exaggerated scenarios. The reality will probably lie somewhere in between, esecpailly since this Moon makes a confusing inconjunct to Venus in Leo (13 degrees). There will be a rather exalted desire – a glittery and beautiful person/goal that you’re coveting. What you get may not be what you were hoping for, as the golden shell is peeled back to reveal something less attractive. But that doesn’t mean it will be a total fake. Reality rarely stacks up to the movie version, but there could be something solid beneath the shine.

Or, you really could end up with a total fake. Much depends on how far from reality you’ve drifted. Remember that Neptune is never just about you or your desires. You’re more likely to be disappointed if you’ve been grasping for something subjective and personal. Neptune is transpersonal-look beyond what you want.  

No matter what happens, this Moon will be slippery and ultra-sensitive. No boundaries means it’s high tide for psychic or creative work. If you’ve been wanting to dissolve limits, this is your Moon. If you need a time out to rest, drift, heal…this is your Moon. But if you’re emotionally vulnerable, prone to addictions or confidence-sucking attractions, stay grounded and stick with what you know is healthy. Even if that’s a tad boring. It will be too easy to lose it all, as Neptune dissolves your self-control along with those boundaries. 

Be smart about this one. You know what works for you, and what doesn’t.

August 10th, 2017: Harmony and Tricky Moments

by  •

  • Sun in Leo sextile Jupiter in Libra: 18 degrees
  • Mars in Leo inconjunct Neptune in Pisces: 13 degrees
  • Mercury in Virgo sextile Venus in Cancer: 11 degrees
  • Vesta in Virgo trine Pallas in Taurus: 11 degrees

A mostly harmonious day, with a moment that might trip you up. 

Sun/Jupiter is bold and optimistic – things will work out because you feel confident, and confidence will be buoyed by the sense that things will work out. Win-win. Good for attracting favourable attention. However, Mars/Neptune is a caution. For the most part, you’ll be on target, but you can stumble (via misguided actions) if you’re not paying attention. What you’ve been ignoring can weaken your efforts. 

Mercury/Venus suggests sweet words that are practical and empathetic. For example, the solution that’s presented with sensitivity, or gentle advice. Excellent if you have to point out an error or deliver a critique – you can phrase it so it almost sounds like a compliment.

Meanwhile, Vesta/Pallas is about devotion to a basic solution that can be used easily and immediately. It’s not a quick fix (results will take time) but it should be easy to access and implement. Vesta picks out a specific detail or problem, and Pallas supplies the stable strategy to address it. Healing and improvements will be visible.

Aspects to Virgo help you address the problem, while aspects to Leo reassure you that it can be fixed. Just keep your eyes on Mars/Neptune – don’t ignore the questionable action.

August 5th, 2017: Transcendent Glory

  • Sun in Leo inconjunct Neptune Rx in Pisces: 13 degrees

Leo’s confidence is undermined by vague anxieties. The drive for appreciation is distorted, due to insecurities. Or, there can be attempts to escape into a dream world where everyone applauds your accomplishments (which don’t exist in real life). 

As always with the inconjunct, the key is balancing both sides. This is not about pure ego, but there is a special purpose (a higher purpose). Look at what you’re creating, celebrating or displaying, and consider how you can elevate it beyond immediate gratification. Can you help someone else? Can you let go and allow the situation to develop in unexpected ways? You’re not in complete control – once the initial purpose has been established, releasing expectations can allow the full potential to shine. 

There’s glory here, but not the type usually associated with Leo. 

This aspect is part of the upcoming Full Moon eclipse in Aquarius.

July 17th, 2017: Play It Smart, Not Crazy

  • Venus in Gemini square Neptune Rx in Pisces: 14 degrees
  • Mars in Cancer square Uranus in Aries: 28 degrees

When the planets of love (Venus) and sex (Mars) both make hard aspects to the outer planets, you know today has the potential to go off the rails. There could be an emotional pursuit of someone who doesn’t exist – you’re “in love” with their Instagram account. Or, the drunken text that seems edgy-sexy at the time. But you regret it the next morning.

Of course, this can be about other things. Venus is what you want and Mars is what you do to get it. Venus covers money, self-esteem, beauty and all social interactions. Mars is anger, violence, action.

Neptune’s blurry square can enhance a craving for something impossible, so you end up making the wrong choice (Gemini). Uranus’ push can trigger impulsive actions as you snap or take a risk. The root cause will probably involve a need (Cancer) that must be met ASAP. 

As I wrote in this week’s horoscopes, Venus and Mars will calm down on the 18th with some beneficial aspects (post to follow on the 18th). So there is good potential here – Venus/Neptune can lead to something beautiful, compassionate and creative. Mars/Uranus can set you free as you give suffocating traditions/family the boot. The net result is expansion and opening. Exhale. 

But you have to be careful today. Really careful. Think before you act. Consider your options. If you’re tempted to dive headfirst into something, ask yourself if it’s in your best interests. If you’re trying to open something up or pursue, control your impatience and move carefully. Do you really want X, or is something else at play?
