  • Venus in Scorpio trine Chiron in Pisces (28 deg)

  • Venus in Scorpio inconjunct Uranus Rx in Aries (28 deg)

  • Vesta in Aquarius conjunct Black Moon Lilith (16 deg)

Venus

Continuing the Grand Water Trine, Venus/Chiron suggests deep healing via the full commitment to what you want or love. Venus in Scorpio is not casual – this is an immersion in the beautiful and ugly truths of a relationship, financial or self-esteem issue. The deeper you go, the more access you’ll have to compassion, empathy and acceptance of a wound (Chiron). This is about loving what hurts or finding beauty in what’s flawed and vulnerable.

Note that Venus’ inconjunct to Uranus can provide a shock to the above – some of what’s revealed will not be pleasant and you’ll have to make adjustments. Perhaps you discover more than you bargained for. The challenge will be to integrate this into the flow – can you handle uncomfortable truths?

Vesta/BML

Vesta is focus and Black Moon Lilith is taboo or unacceptable female energy. Here, the focus is on the outsider – the witch/rebel/dangerous woman holds the sacred flame. Aquarius makes this about the collective- perhaps a key issue that no one wanted to acknowledge is unavoidable. Everyone is looking and Lilith’s power is enhanced by the undivided attention.

Vesta is also about purity while BML is considered dark, sexual and “impure”. When the two unite, there are hints of sacred sexuality or devotion to the dark lady on the fringe. Consider where your attention is focused today and why: there’s a reason you can’t look away.

Along with today’s New Moon eclipse, beginnings have a heavy feel but they are weighted in absolute truths. You’ll know where you stand and those with the courage to accept reality will benefit.

December 23rd, 2018: Venus, Lilith and Juno

  • Venus in Scorpio square Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (15 deg)

  • Pluto in Capricorn trine Juno Rx in Taurus (20 deg)

  • Juno stations direct in Taurus (20 deg)

Venus and Lilith

Venus in Scorpio completes the last of three squares to Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius. The first square occured on September 16th, and the second (when Venus was Rx) on October 17th, so this issue has been active for a few months.

Venus in Scorpio maintains her power by keeping secrets, exploring what’s hidden and possessing. At the same time, she demands absolute intimacy and pushes past all limits (the deepening spiral of honesty regarding what’s really loved/desired). This could apply to relationship, self-esteem or financial issues. BML in Aquarius would disrupt this with challenges based on the freedom to break away via “unacceptable” or shocking female behaviour/issues. Black Moon Lilith is the outsider and dangerous woman.

Her ongoing conflict with Venus in Scorpio since September points to a crisis between power and freedom, possession and detachment, darkness and clarity (Aquarius). As this issue concludes today, there may be a final crisis. Venus and BML are two different expressions of female energy – Venus attracts while Lilith rejects all those who would seek to control her. What are you trying to liberate yourself from? Or (conversely) what resources are you trying to preserve/draw towards you?

Juno

Meanwhile, Pluto (ruler of Scorpio) makes a trine to Juno Rx. The fixed (Taurus) relationship agreement (Juno) is empowered through deep transformation (Pluto). And soon after, Juno stations direct, which means the agreement moves forward.

There is no stagnation here – the relationship review (Rx) led to a change, and now you progress. This is necessary even in the most settled agreements.

I discussed the Juno/Pluto trine in this post from December 17th, when these dynamics were first triggered by Mars in Pisces:

“Mars also makes a sextile to Juno Rx so we know the above involves a relationship (business or personal) agreement. Right now it’s under review and Mars’ sextile activates energetic progress. You’re not just sitting and pondering the terms of the agreement, you and another are taking action to revise it.

Note that Juno will trine Pluto two times:

  • Dec 23rd (Juno Rx)

  • Dec 31st (Juno direct)

Juno/Pluto is the profound commitment that harmonizes with slow change and empowers both parties as it evolves. The process has started now (the trine is within orb) and the Mars sextile suggests following the route of intuitive action to make it happen.”

So the second trine is approaching at the end of the month- great news for those who are ready for a serious commitment to evolve. You can treat Dec 23rd-31st as one influence: a time of increasing strength between you and another. This strength will be based on mutual awareness of the need for change.

Consider how this might be connected to the tension between Venus and BML, especially Venus’ possession and exploration of what’s hidden. What has that tension clarified?

December 21st, 2018: A Day for More

  • Mercury conjunct Jupiter in Sagittarius (9 deg)

  • Mercury/Jupiter in Sagittarius sextile Vesta in Aquarius (9 deg)

  • Venus in Scorpio trine Neptune in Pisces (13 deg)

A day for more, with energies that encourage you to rise above anything petty or restrictive. Note that these influences are given extra oomph by today’s Winter Solstice (the Sun’s Capricorn ingress).

Mercury/Jupiter

Mercury/Jupiter can be a high point for wisdom, insight, the sales pitch or good news. Mercury’s info and communication are expanded by Jupiter, blending facts with ideals and details with optimism.

Excellent for learning, delivering a message (especially one that features new information) or seeing the whole story along with the details. This is all powered up by Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius, for extra expansion. This conjunction previously occurred on November 27th (at 4 deg) when Mercury was Rx. At that time, you may have encountered the same issue but had to deal with questions or delays. Now the questions have been answered and the delay has been lifted – you can surge ahead with what you know.

Note the sextile to Vesta (devotion) which adds focus on an unusual or innovative (Aquarius) area. This can truly be a moment where you break through a mental/verbal barrier or experience a leap of understanding.

Venus/Neptune

Venus/Neptune continues the theme of openness, as relationships/money/self-esteem/values harmonize with Neptune’s compassion and dreams. What you want/love has depth (Scorpio) and transcendence (Neptune) for an intensely romantic, creative or giving influence. There’s more of what you want to go around, although it’s not all about you (and you’ll be fine with that). Neptune increases Venus in Scorpio’s flow of love/value/desire while adding a touch of refined creativity or selflessness – the trine gives it a natural flow (what you want or want to give will unfold easily, if it’s meant to be).

In certain cases, if this energy is distorted, Neptune might enable the slide into something addictive or unhealthy (you want it even though it’s bad for you). Use the Mercury/Jupiter conjunction to get a full understanding of what’s going on – there will be no excuses.

December 15th, 2018: A Test of Faith

  • First Quarter Square between the Pisces Moon and Sagittarius Sun (23 deg)

  • Ceres in Scorpio square Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (14 deg)

The First Quarter Square can raise difficult issues as belief clashes with faith and disillusionment undermines trust. The Sag Sun is about striving for the future where there’s hope but the Pisces Moon can trigger loss of momentum or questions about what’s real/true.

And yet, the crisis of this square demands action- you have to move forward while altering your course based on the questions that come up.

Adding to the tension, Ceres/Lilith pits the Great Mother against the Witch/Outsider. Ceres in Scorpio’s deep nurturing clashes with BML in Aquarius’ disruption and detachment. Ceres is the intensely nurturing (and controlling) embrace while Black Moon Lilith looks out for herself and her freedom. You may be confronting this dynamic in your life as you consider the limits of how you can nurture/control versus liberation. Or, perhaps you need to come in from the cold and look at what/who needs your care.

As this takes place during the First Quarter Square, you know you’ll have to do something – use the crisis as motivation to make the necessary changes. This is your test of faith.

Life will begin to look more grand and plentiful again, as Mercury (thoughts, communications, journeys) exits probing Scorpio on Wednesday December 12 , and enters the philosophical […]

December 8th, 2018: Lilith’s Strategies

by  • 

John White Alexander

John White Alexander

  • Pallas in Libra trine Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (13 deg)

  • Pallas in Libra inconjunct Neptune in Pisces (13 deg)

Pallas in Libra is relationship strategies, and BML in Aquarius is the rebellious, powerful woman who disrupts the status quo. When the two harmonize, Lilith has some sharp strategies that allow her to make savvy changes within a social context.

Libra is one-on-one and Aquarius is the group, so this tells us that taboo or shocking women’s issues will reach across all social levels. But the taboo content will be well received by others – what’s usually unacceptable can be delivered in a balanced way (Pallas in Libra is the graceful battle plan).

However, Pallas’ inconjunct to Neptune is a caution to ground these strategies in the real world. It will be easy to get carried away with a higher mission and forget that this involves real people. At the same time, don’t lose sight of the fact that forgiveness and acceptance must be factored into this. Pure strategy without compassion (in this case) can be quite chilly.
