December 3rd, 2019: Dig Deep

by  •

  • Mercury in Scorpio sextile Pluto in Capricorn (21 deg)

  • Venus in Capricorn sextile Mars in Scorpio (9 deg)

Mercury/Pluto indicates words with harmonious power. Mercury in Scorpio is already focused on what’s beneath the surface, and when you add Pluto (ruler of Scorpio) you get authentic information that slides into your awareness. Words make a quiet impact. 

Mercury/Pluto first made this sextile on Oct 19th at 20 deg, and then again on Nov 9th at 20 deg (when Mercury was RX). So this will be the conclusion of something that’s been brewing since October. 

Mars/Venus harmonizes actions with attraction- efforts that tap into the deepest motivations (and are focused, passionate, authentic) can net you something favourable. Dig deep and you can manifest formal expressions of love, money or values. The overall theme is commitment: this is a quiet aspect but the energy is profoundly serious. 

In general, today is excellent for confirming what you want while committing to undeniable truths.

December 2nd, 2019: Venus Conjunct South Node, Mars Trine the North Node

  • Venus conjunct the Capricorn South Node (8 deg)

  • Mars in Scorpio trine the Cancer North Node (8 deg)

Venus over the SN is a culmination or ending involving a relationship, money, self-esteem or values. What you want/love will be defined, and it could be something from the distant past. This is about a mature commitment to what’s desired, or a mature acceptance that something is concluding. 

In some cases, there could be a romantic connection with strong karmic energy; a meeting with someone from a past life with a sense of inevitability and instant seriousness.

Either way, it should be favourable because Mars is activating the North Node (path forward). So you’ve got intensive, passionate actions moving you forward. You’re not stuck (if you don’t want to be) and the key is “take action.” Efforts should flow forward easily, providing they are authentic. 

To sum up these aspects, consider what you can do with what you want/own and how you can develop your situation further. The North Node always develops South Node energies, rather than cancelling them out. So you’re looking at how tradition/rules can be progressed to something emotionally authentic and satisfying.

November 24th, 2019: Venus Conjunct Jupiter and Mars Opposite Uranus

  • Venus in Sagittarius conjunct Jupiter (28°)

  • Mars in Scorpio opposite Uranus RX in Taurus (3°)

Venus/Jupiter is abundance, gifts and the expansion of what you want. Hopes are high: this could be a lucky break, idealistic relationship or time of burgeoning self-esteem as you attract something big.

Mars/Uranus is a result involving a sudden break or abrupt action. The tension of the opposition suggests that it will be quite dramatic. Uranus’ disruptions can trigger intensive reactions that have been simmering in the shadows. What bursts forth from a Fixed sign like Scorpio is potent because it has been building slowly. 

The themes of risk and freedom are emphasized. Jupiter is about future growth and Uranus Is the rule -breaker. You may attract an amazing opportunity and you’ll have to place your faith in the future. At the same time, consider what you’re breaking away from but be careful-events can spiral out of control with hard aspects to Uranus.

How much is the risk worth? Or, does the disruptive ending have a silver lining?

November 23rd, 2019: A Day of Healing

  • Sagittarius Sun trine Chiron RX in Aries (1 °)

  • Mars in Scorpio sextile Ceres in Capricorn (2°)

Today is an excellent day to address what hurts and take serious steps to look after yourself or someone else.

Sun/Chiron can help you approach a painful situation with more optimism. Wounds or weaknesses can be confronted and integrated easily-watch for an increase in confidence that enables you to apply wisdom or even a sense of adventure to a touchy situation. This aspect also speaks to legal or religious guidance that helps you come to terms with a battle.

Mars/Ceres is active nurturing. This is about reaching for the deepest commitment or untapped reservoirs of strength and taking action to define the care and feeding of a situation or person. While this energy means business, the sextile is a gentle aspect; you won’t have to push. There should be an easy, almost effortless way to integrate intensive actions with structured care. 

Nurturing can also apply to yourself. This is an opportunity to go a bit further (perhaps into uncomfortable or hidden territory) and use that energy to fuel your disciplined self-care. But the keyword is “action”: you have to do something with this energy if you want to reap the benefits.

November 21st, 2019: Mars Inconjunct Chiron

  • Mars in Scorpio inconjunct Chiron RX in Aries (1 °)

Intense or passionate actions (Mars) will trigger discomfort (Chiron).  The deeper you dig, the more vulnerable you’ll feel, and you may pull back out of fear. Mars rules Aries, so there is extra resonance: the external battle where you feel weak and the internal push for intimacy or control. Perhaps this is about secret or taboo motivations.

Chiron’s wounds cannot be avoided but action still has to be taken. Efforts will have to accommodate pain or vulnerabilities. This means applying measured intensity rather than a full-on push, while accepting that it is going to hurt or someone’s going to say that you’re being “too” heavy/dark/obsessive, etc.
