November 24th, 2018: Progress With Neptune Direct

Neptune
Retrograde since June 18th (from 16 to 13 deg Pisces) Neptune direct is about moving forward after the last remnants of an illusion/dream/outdated situation have dissolved. There may be a release as something fades away. If Neptune has been triggering confusion or loss of focus, this can be a time when you make some headway and progress further into the unknown country (forward means you’re one step closer to the other side).
If you have a natal plant or point at:
13 deg of the Mutable signs, Neptune will be permanently done with you as of December 27th, 2018 (roughly)
14 deg of the Mutable signs, Neptune will be permanently done with you as of February, 2019 (roughly)
17 to 18 deg of the Mutable signs, you’ll be getting your first taste of Neptune around April 2019
Mercury/Pallas
Mercury in Sag makes the first of two sextiles to Pallas. This is a quiet but positive influence – any harmonious aspect between Mercury and Pallas blends information/communication with strategy. Pallas in Libra is about relationship or diplomatic strategies, and boosted by Mercury in Sag, we have expansive communication to deliver these strategies. Meaning, a convincing way to send your message.
But Mercury is Rx, so this will be a revision of previous information, or a second request. Ask again and restrategize. Mercury direct will sextile Pallas again on December 29th, so the plan may not roll forward in its entirety until then.
For now, rest assured that this is a good time to adjust those solutions and have them favourably received. And it’s happening when Neptune goes direct, so you know there will be progress, even if it’s slow.
November 23rd, 2018: Venus in Libra Square Vesta
Venus in Libra square Vesta in Capricorn (26 deg)
Vesta’s rigid focus (in Saturn-ruled Capricorn) can cause tension with a relationship, financial or self-esteem issue. Venus in Libra wants harmony and balance, but the tension of the square suggests that strict concentration on what you want but don’t have (or where you don’t feel good enough) can cause an imbalance.
Today, you may be aware of a situation where you don’t feel loved/liked or where the exchange between you and another is not equal. Know that obsessing about this will increase the blockage you already feel. Consider what rules or boundaries are challenging you and see if there’s a compromise available between what you want versus what is.
For some, excessive focus on responsibility or work can create blocks in the personal life. Are you shutting someone out because of your devotion to status or tradition?
Heart Connections | Astrology Horoscope
As life continues to change and evolve, we’re put into our own individual position of either hanging on to what we know is stable – or to let go and flow (Pisces in Mars). To try and do both – to control AND and to surrender – would require intense juggling, as we would be challenged to […]
November 18th, 2018: Flow Forward
Waxing Trine between the Pisces Moon and Scorpio Sun (28 deg)
Venus in Libra inconjunct Juno Rx in Taurus (25 deg)
The Waxing Trine is a point of integration between transcendence and depth, transpersonal and intense involvement. With this flowing energy you should feel a natural “click” that allows you to move forward through a dark, consuming or powerful issue with a measure of calm. The Moon in Pisces is about allowing – what will be, will be. Notice the gentle release as events move as they are meant to, and you open yourself up to whatever comes next.
The Venus/Juno inconjunct is the third of three (September 1st and November 3rd being the first two). With this aspect, you have continually confronted a disconnect between set agreements about resources/security (Juno in Taurus) versus one partner’s desire for more equality or flexibility. Maybe one partner wanted more of a partnership while the other was content with things the way they were.
Now with this final confrontation, use the flow of the Waxing Trine to move forward. Intimacy is integrated with acceptance, and control is no longer an issue.
November 16th, 2018: Venus Direct and Mercury Retrograde

Venus stations direct (25 deg Libra)
Mercury stations retrograde (13 deg Sagittarius)
Venus direct signals forward movement for relationship, financial, social and self-esteem matters. Rx since October 5th, her direct motion in Libra will be felt strongly because she rules this sign. Watch for an imbalance to be corrected. You could feel more centered as you discover the ideal point between two options.
Venus Rx was the time to re-evaluate all Venus matters. Venus direct is the time to move forward with what you’ve learned. By now, you should have more certainty about what you want, what you’re worth and who really loves you. If this means saying goodbye, so be it.
But it’s not all straightforward. Venus stations direct in the morning (5:50 AM EST) and Mercury stations Rx in the evening (8:33 PM EST). Mercury Rx in Sag will raise questions about the story, the promise, the future or something you’ve put your faith in. But Sagittarius and Libra are in two different areas of you chart, so you should still see some progress in one area.
However, pay attention to any questions that come up, especially since Mercury almost perfects a square to Neptune Rx in Pisces just before it stations Rx. This suggests a lie, miscommunication or fake sales pitch on the horizon – you see it up ahead and may have a sense that something is not quite right. But for now, you’re stepping back and carefully reviewing your options.
Mercury direct will perfect the square with Neptune on December 24th, so that will be your chance to fully confront the lie/fantasy. The square suggests turning a corner and revealing the truth. During this retrograde, ask questions and keep your eyes open. Listen to the story, but don’t accept it blindly.
In general, Mercury Rx in Sag can impact matters involving travel, advertising, education, religion, law, publishing, faith and hope. Each question brings you closer to the truth, but first you may have to confront a loss of faith, loss of direction or challenges to wisdom. Remember – it’s the details within the big picture that matter now.
Mercury Rx will back into Scorpio on December 1st and station direct on December 6th. Mercury will re-enter Sagittarius on December 12th.

Hello there friends. It’s been an active November with Uranus (awakenings, change, evolution) retrograde shifting from steady Taurus back on November 6, to re-enter pioneering Aries for the rest of the year. Unexpected changes, breakdowns and possible breakthroughs are bound to occur in the areas where we thought we were strong, stable and comfortably settled. After a year […]
November 10th, 2018: Motivating Crises

Mars in Aquarius square Juno Rx in Taurus (27 deg)
Ceres in Libra square the South Node in Capricorn/North Node in Cancer (29 deg)
Today we have two squares that will provide motivating crises. No one likes tension, but that’s how change happens.
Mars/Juno
The Mars/Juno square indicates a confrontation between set relationship agreements versus disruptive or independent actions. One partner may want to keep things the same while the other wants their freedom, or is agitating for change.
This is the second of two squares. The first square occured on July 16th, 2018 when Mars was Rx and Juno was direct (at 6 deg). At that time, actions were being reviewed and revised. Now that Juno is Rx, the terms of the agreement/commitment may be up for revision.
Mars square Juno can indicate relationship conflict, but if a partnership has stagnated, this final square should shake things up.
Ceres
Ceres in the final degree of Libra squares the Nodes, newly entered into Capricorn/Cancer. A one-on-one (or one-sided) exchange of nurturing is at a tipping point. A square to the Nodes means this is a key issue that needs to be resolved before you can move forward. So there may be old rules/responsibilities (Capricorn South Node) that need to be revised (or left behind) before you can arrive at an authentic form of nurturing where needs (for both people) are met (Cancer North Node).
Parental issues are very strong here. Ceres is mother’s nurturing, Capricorn is the father and Cancer is the mother/child. What’s happening with the family dynamics? There’s a definite shift here – the way nurturing/care is being applied is up for a major change. Perhaps the caregiver/patient relationship is being redefined. Or, maybe your responsibilities as a caregiver/mother need attention.
When Libra is involved, you’re going from one end of the scales to the other, and ultimately you want to find that balance point.
November 9th, 2018: Try Again

Venus Rx in Libra trine Mars in Aquarius (26 deg)
This is the second trine between Venus in Libra and Mars in Aquarius. The first (Aug 7th, 2018) occured at 1 deg when Mars was Rx. Now, Mars is direct and Venus is Rx.
The theme is similar for both trines – actions (Mars) harmonize with what you want (Venus) leading to a nice outcome. But the issue may have fluttered back and forth since August. First, you had to reconsider your actions/try again (Mars Rx). That was the key to getting a favourable result. Now, with Venus Rx, you’re reconsidering what you want or the dynamics of a relationship. Again – key to getting what you want.
Overall, this may be a somewhat frustrating issues with multiple tries and reviews. But the trine makes it easier (events should unfold naturally) and you may find that it’s worth it.
Actions work best if they are somewhat detached (Aquarius) – less focus on “must have” and more openness to whatever may happen. Keep it light. Balance (Libra) is important.
November 5th, 2018: Libra Strategies and Nurturing

It’s a Libra day – look, listen and tune into the exchange of energy between you and another.
Venus Rx/Ceres can be a moment of truly balanced nurturing, or an understanding of what the other person wants. The re-evaluation of give and take in a relationship can lead to the correction of an imbalance (where one person is doing all the giving) or insight into how you can give unconditionally.
Nurturing is not an easy task. Sometimes you give when it’s not wanted. Sometimes you expect thanks and none is given. Or sometimes you want to help and you just don’t know how. This influence can address these issues, and your awareness of the dynamics between you and another will be key.
Pallas, newly into Libra, trines the South Node. An issue from the past (involving alienation, freedom or detachment) can be smoothly addressed with some balanced strategies. The solution should emerge easily – this will be about paying attention to the interplay between you and another. Check your strategies.
