An analytical Virgo Moon will fuel the beginning of this new week on Monday April 15. We could feel encouraged to work WITH the new upcoming changes… or worry with sleepless nights instead. As the challenging energy grows from the Venus/Jupiter square, mountains might be created from molehills, if we forfeit self-control. Spontaneous ideas will […]

Growing From Within The Heart | Starcana Cosmic Dirt
There are a few challenges to be experienced in this new week under the sluggish Sun/Saturn square on Wednesday April 10, a clumsy Mercury/Jupiter square on Friday April 12, and a demanding Sun/Pluto square on Saturday April 13. Although dark clouds are brewing, a few of us will still be pacing back and forth before […]
Double Bubble of Trouble | Starcana Cosmic Dirt
Venus enters Pisces. What has recently mattered and supported our personal growth will be shifting as Venus transits from altruistic Aquarius, to join thoughtful Mercury and imaginative Neptune in bubbly Pisces, on Tuesday March 26. During the next four weeks, we could find ourselves attracted to what proves to be sympathetic, forgiving and healing. Through […]
Ready for a Clean Break | Starcana Cosmic Dirt
Sun enters Aries, Spring Equinox, Virgo Full Moon. Welcome to brand new week my friend! A turn of the wheel is taking place as the powerful Sun (ego, identity) moves out of the sympathetic waters of Pisces, and into the active fires of Aries on the Spring Equinox, Wednesday afternoon March 20. During the next four […]
March 14th, 2019: Take Action

First Quarter Square
Here we have a crisis that demands action, but your choices (Gemini) may be vague (Pisces). It will be difficult to pinpoint the correct path and it may feel easier to not choose, or to simply drift along without looking at the facts. Nonetheless, you need to do something and that will require selecting A or B.
The Sun’s inferior conjunction to Mercury Rx (ruler of Gemini) can help, as it marks a point of clarity. This is the middle of Mercury’s retrograde, so something essential will be illuminated. Delays, shifting facts and hazy truths have led you to this point- pay attention to what’s revealed and use it in your First Quarter Square decision.
Mercury Rx trine the North Node means that overall, what you learn (and act on) today can take you in the right direction-towards a place that feels (Cancer) safe, authentic and fully aligned with what you need. This is the second of Mercury’s three trines to the North Node (the first one occurred on Feb 26th) so this is part of an ongoing process.
Note that the inferior conjunction is similar to a “New Moon” influence (it marks a new beginning) and will be connected to the “Full Moon” results of the previous superior Sun/Mercury conjunction from January 29th at 9 deg Aquarius.
Mars/Saturn
Patient actions harmonize with rules and structure. In the Earth signs, this is the ultimate manifestation aspect as what you do can have physical, measurable results. There’s nothing dramatic here – slow and steady is the way to go. Work within the boundaries. Movement may be so slow that you question if any progress is being made, but you’ll know there’s progress if you can see/feel the results. Mars in Taurus favours building material security or working to make something grow.
This is about taking responsibility (Saturn) for what you want. If you don’t act and you don’t commit to the long- term, nothing will happen.
Consider how this relates back to the required action of the First Quarter Square – choose (Gemini) based on what’s revealed (Sun/Mercury), commit to that path then move forward carefully and deliberately.

March 12th, 2019: Juno in Gemini Opposite Ceres
Juno in Gemini opposite Ceres in Sagittarius (12 deg)
This aspects suggests disagreements over nurturing (children, food or growth/exploration issues). The agreement itself is not fixed, since Gemini is about multiple choices. So this gives you wiggle room – if one thing doesn’t work, try another.
However, the details (Gemini) of the agreement may be challenged by the actual method of nurturing which involves glossing over the details. One party may insist on a specific method/detail while the other party only wants to deal with the philosophy of nurturing or the ideal of care. Looking at archetypes, the wife (Juno) is at odds with the mother (Ceres).
Still, Gemini and Sag are both communicative, mutable signs. Keep talking and you should arrive at a workable agreement.

Dreaming of the Unthinkable | Starcana Cosmic Dirt
Good day my friend! If a tsunami of chaos spilled over from the transformative eclipse, you may find yourself struggling from the intense results as the lunar vibrations continue to trickle in. Mercury Station Retrograde. While fear and desperation may have driven us toward a direction that appeared to be safe… incoming bouts of confusion […]
February 23rd, 2019: Trust That You’re Moving In The Right Direction

Waning Trine between the Scorpio Moon and Pisces Sun (5 deg)
Mercury in Pisces sextile Pluto in Capricorn (22 deg)
Sun/Juno suggests some tension over the choices in an agreement. The facts may shift or one person may be unclear about what they want (and it may be quite difficult to pin them down to one issue).
Fortunately, the Waning Trine promises a smooth flow between intensity and belief, deep commitment and transcendence. If you can step away from the facts and focus on the instinctive flow of where the situation is going, you and another should be able to facilitate an agreement. Logic may simply get in the way – trust and allowance will serve you better (trust that you’re moving in the right direction and allow it to happen).
Mercury (ruler of Gemini) makes a harmonious sextile to Pluto (ruler of Scorpio) which supports the above. Communication that’s honest, compassionate and trusting is where it’s at. Pluto in Capricorn anchors Mercury’s free-floating thoughts, helping you manifest a vague hint or idea. Mercury also activates yesterday’s Venus/Pluto conjunction, allowing you to step back from the overblown promises of the Mercury/Jupiter square and focus on what has authentic value.
Put what matters most into words and ignore the excess.
