May 23rd, 2019: It Hurts But Keep Talking

  • Waning Trine between the Aquarius Moon and Gemini Sun (2 deg)

  • Sun in Gemini square Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (2 deg)

  • Mars in Cancer square Chiron in Aries (5 deg)

  • Mercury in Gemini sextile Chiron in Aries (5 deg)

Issues from yesterday’s square between Mercury in Gemini and BML continue as the Sun energizes the difficult conversations or mixed messages. Lilith gets the spotlight in a way that illuminates the crisis between taboo women’s issues and hard choices. Perhaps no option seems favourable, or you’re torn between keeping things light versus acknowledging the dark issue that oozes between the lines.

The Waning Trine can help – this is an aspect of sharing and understanding. An open minded, somewhat detached approach can facilitate cooperation – others will respond favourably to potentially disruptive info if you deliver it cooly and calmly. Give them the option to disagree.

Mars/Chiron adds another twist, as actions/anger/sexuality trigger painful moments. Feelings of vulnerability can be particularly intense, and it will be difficult to not make the wrong move. It will seem like everyone (including you) is easily bruised. Fortunately, Mercury is also aspecting Chiron, but it’s making an easy sextile. Talk about what hurts; keep it light, explore multiple solutions, but keep talking and asking questions.

This is also an encouraging aspect for the squares to BML, suggesting that yesterday’s difficult messages can be sorted with a mix of logic and empathy. You’re touching on what hurts and looking at the facts, but you’re not pressing down on it.

May 22nd, 2019: Mixed Messages and Forward Movement

Mercury/BML

There may be misinformation about sexual issues or gossip about the other woman/unacceptable woman. There will be a multiple sides to her story, which can be confusing. Perhaps you’re having trouble focusing on a BML issue (a destructive attraction or taboo subject) – are you avoiding a truth or spinning distracting lies?

Mars/Uranus

Here is the gentle nudge forward. Uranus in Taurus’ major update of habits/resources/values can help you act on a nurturing or family matter. It’s time to take action and initiate changes, but you don’t have to move abruptly or take big risks. Slow and steady as you step into new territory.

Neptune/North Node

Continuing the forward theme, the Cancer North Node is activated by release, forgiveness, acceptance or imagination. If you open yourself up to an ending or new experience, you may feel a gentle pull towards something that feels right. “Feel” is the key word, because the Cancer North Node is about what resonates emotionally.

Good day friend! Sun (ego, identity) and Mercury (thoughts, communications, short journeys) will both bid farewell from grounded Taurus on Tuesday May 21, to enter curious Gemini. Rather than feel stuck or remain immobile, we’ll take a deep breath; trying a different way that will lead us toward a better change with Sun/Mercury in Gemini.  And […]

Mars’ Transit of Cancer, May 15th: It’s Personal

by  •

Mars into Cancer coincides with Venus’ Taurus ingress, continuing the (separating) sextile between them. Mars in Cancer is nurturing, moody, protective actions with a domestic edge – family first, even if you’re not fully aware of how family motivates you. As Mars continues to harmonize with Venus (until May 18th) nurturing actions can net you solid evidence (Taurus) of what you want.

Mars in Cancer acts instinctively – emotion trumps logic and motivations are passionate and somewhat childlike. Cancer takes everything personally, so this transit can be quite volatile. If someone loses their temper you can bet it’s because they feel they’ve been attacked on a personal level.

Anger, arousal or initiative are based on primary needs, or the fear that those needs are being denied. Never forget that Cancer is a Cardinal sign, so there can be outbursts of anger or strength when you least expect it. There can also be assertiveness based on the need to remain safe. This is the grip that tightens when you try to pull away – the ferocious hug or the aggressive mother/child.

During this transit, consider the most personal trigger for your motivations. It’s ok if you act on something because of how it makes you feel (comfortable or uncomfortable). You don’t need to explain this to anyone, but self-awareness is helpful (so you don’t become the rampaging child).

Here are the aspects Mars in Cancer will make:

  • May 18th: trine Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (1 deg)

  • May 22nd: sextile Uranus in Taurus (4 deg)

  • May 23rd: square Chiron in Aries (5 deg)

  • May 27th: inconjunct Ceres in Sagittarius (7 deg)

  • Jun 1st: square Pallas in Libra (10 deg)

  • Jun 12th: conjunct North Node (17 deg)

  • Jun 14th: trine Neptune in Pisces (18 deg)

  • Jun 14th: opposite Saturn Rx in Capricorn (18 deg)

  • Jun 14th: inconjunct Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (18 deg)

  • Jun 18th: conjunct Mercury (21 deg)

  • Jun 19th: opposite Pluto Rx in Capricorn (22 deg)

  • Jul 1st: Leo ingress

Immovable Opinions

Good day! In our attempt to rebuild what holds value for us, Mercury will exit from spontaneous Aries on Monday afternoon May 6, to enter stubborn Taurus. In the next three weeks, our focus moves from unstoppable to immovable with Mercury in Taurus – which can stall or slow down thoughts, communications and short travels. […]

ReBuilding Our Value

Where we’ve been investing our energy will begin to slow down considerably, or possibly come to a complete pause under the next four-and-a-half months as Taskmaster Saturn stations retrograde on Monday April 29. As insecurities, responsibilities and fears start to rise beneath the big boss Saturn, we can either renegotiate, restructure, and rebuild… or re-experience […]

April 28th, 2019: The Agreement

  • Chiron in Aries square Juno in Cancer (3 deg)

Fresh wounds are triggered by a partnership agreement. Issues around neediness, the desire to protect or mother/child dynamics can result in a new and painful crisis. Vulnerability will be a key theme – feeling more vulnerable together or feeling like safety is being compromised. Old family issues can be seen in a new light.

You have the power to say “No” or indicate what you’re not comfortable with, in this agreement. Family contracts can be challenged if they make you feel unsafe.

Every dance with Chiron is a chance to confront what hurts. Especially in Aries (the warrior sign) you are not meant to sweep this under the rug. The healing involves increased empathy but the wound itself never goes away. You gain strength when you have the courage to confront what hurts.

April 26th, 2019: Time For A Change

  • 3rd Quarter Square between the Aquarius Moon and Taurus Sun (6 deg)

  • Mercury in Aries trine Ceres Rx in Sagittarius (13 deg)

  • Uranus in Taurus sextile Juno in Cancer (2 deg)

3rd Quarter Square

The crisis between what’s new and what’s established can push you to question what you want. Current definitions of security may be getting stale – something is urging you to step back and look at what you have in a different light. This process can feel uncomfortable, because you may not want to question what’s worked so far. But it’s time to shake things up and if you’re being honest you’ll admit that what’s in front of you feels a bit stifling.

Mercury/Ceres

Mercury in Aries is not usually considered nurturing, but this aspect suggests bold words can fuel the care and feeding of an adventure or area of learning. Fresh ideas and assertive speech will support what you’re exploring. Or, maybe you’re asserting your intentions to look after someone. Nurturing in this context may require courage, as you venture into a new area.

Uranus/Juno

Juno in Cancer is the “safe” agreement- a partnership contract that features protection, comfort and parental roles. But what’s safe needs to change a bit and the sextile to Uranus suggests a gentle hint of movement into a new area. The relationship itself may encompass some new facets that still work with the original commitment. Or, there may be an agreement to look after each other in a new way that’s still stable. Watch for an emerging definition of resources.
