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.

December 8th, 2018: Lilith’s Strategies

by  •

  • 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.

December 5th, 2018: Tensions to Consider

by  •

  • Sagittarius Sun square Neptune in Pisces (13 deg)

  • Venus in Scorpio square Vesta in Aquarius (2 deg)

Sun/Neptune is a harbinger of the December 7th New Moon. A square is a crisis aspect, and here we have a crisis between future opportunities/truth (Sun in Sag) versus the dream/lie/wish (Neptune). The overall energy is that of expansion, as Neptune dissolves limits and Sag wants to keep exploring, but the direction will be the issue.

What are you moving towards? How do expectations and truth align? There is a strong escapist vibe here, so make sure that you’re putting your faith in something that’s about elevation rather than avoidance.

Venus/Vesta triggers tension between a deep want/craving (involving relationships, money or values) versus a detached focus on the bigger picture. There’s something different to consider, and the contrast with an area of obsession (or a fixed desire) can make you aware of what needs to change and what needs to remain private or protected.

December 1st, 2018: Mercury Rx Into Scorpio

by  •

  • Mercury Rx returns to Scorpio

  • Mercury Rx in Scorpio sextile Vesta in Capricorn (29 deg)

  • Vesta enters Aquarius

Mercury backs out of Sagittarius and returns to Scorpio, activating issues from October 30th (when it first exited Scorpio for Sag). Now as Mercury is retrograde, the questions that have been raised about the story, promise or big picture (Sagittarius) go a step deeper, to what lies beneath.

Mercury Rx in Scorpio is the transit for digging into secrets, peering into the shadows and obsessing about an obscure/taboo issue. This portion of Mercury’s Rx transit might take you to some dark places, but you’ll definitely learn ultimate truths.

Mercury/Vesta enhances this concentration (Vesta is about devotion and pure focus) on one issue. This may have first caught your attention around October 16th, when Mercury/Vesta connected by sextile at 9 deg Scorpio/Capricorn. Now, the matter has progressed (we’ve moved from the early to the final degree) and you may be peering intently at it as you drill into the heart of the issue.

What is demanding your full attention? Know that there’s more to uncover, but you’re almost done (Mercury stations direct on December 6th).

A few hours after this, Vesta moves into Aquarius. After the brief but intense period of concentration, the sign change suggests awareness of more detached, universal subjects. Vesta in Aquarius is about devotion to the group (in an abstract way) and/or the freedom to be you, no matter how far outside the lines this places you.

Keeping in mind that Vesta always involves limits (which create the sacred focus) this transit can light the fire of uncompromising freedom or it can enhance existing feelings of being an outcast. Consider the contrast between what you saw in Scorpio’s depths versus the clear light of Aquarius’ detachment.

Vesta will exit Aquarius for Pisces on February 1st, 2019.

November 21st, 2018: The Second Disruption

by  •

  • Sun in Scorpio inconjunct Uranus Rx in Aries (29 deg)

  • Mercury Rx in Sagittarius sextile Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (11 deg)

In the final degree of Scorpio, the Sun makes a jolting inconjunct to Uranus Rx. Change, liberation or a break from the past will shake things up and challenge a deeper sense of control or intimacy. The change may feel unwelcome (a threat to survival) but Uranus’ Rx status says that you’re revisiting this issue. It’s not new, and it’s high time for that final break.

But at the same time, deeper resources or privacy must be respected. The inconjunct means an adjustment to both sides, so as the Sun prepares to leave Scorpio, let go of what you can’t control (or what’s ready to leave) but know that you don’t have to toss everything out.

Mercury/BML connect in the second of three sextiles. Open-minded words or ideals support Lilith’s outcast energy. The dangerous woman has a voice, and her message is delivered in a way that others will be receptive to (the sextile is a harmonious aspect).

Taboo issues about women’s power and sexuality can be spoken of openly, but Mercury’s Rx status means revisiting the subject that was first broached on November 10th. Now, it’s time for questions, a review of the challenging story or a second request. Perhaps this subject matter was initially so unheard of that no one wanted to touch it (BML raises those uncomfortable issues about gender dynamics). Well, what was unheard of is now being repeated.

Altogether, today’s influences suggest going back to shake things up (again).
