Waning Inconjunct between the Scorpio …
Deviant Art The Sagittarius New Moon occurs on November 26th marking the beginning of Sagittarius season. Sagittarius times tend to be more lighthearted and hopeful than periods dominated by, say, Scorpio, which we have been going through over the past few weeks. Two planets still linger in Scorpio, but the Full Moon in […]
The post Planetary news this week! Sagittarius New Moon, Venus in Capricorn and Neptune Direct appeared first on Astrology readings and writings by Lynn Hayes.
Cancer Moon inconjunct Venus in Sagittarius (18°)
Vesta RX in Taurus inconjunct Venus in Sagittarius (18°)
Cancer Moon sextile Vesta RX in Taurus (18°)
The above aspects make a configuration called a Yod. The harmonious sextile between the Moon and Vesta creates a stable base that’s rooted in the focus (Vesta) on habits (Taurus) and a familiar, comfortable environment (Cancer).
But the Moon and Vesta both made awkward inconjuncts to Venus in Sag-a new, slightly risky and tempting opportunity may distract you from your focus and make you feel uncomfortable. So there is a struggle to maintain that comfortable status quo even though something exotic beckons. The results can manifest as discord between what you want versus what you need.
The key with a Yod is to use the focal planet as a point of integration, because the focal plan is your task. The issues it represents will be prominent but difficult. Venus is the focal planet here, so what’s new and expansive must be integrated into what’s familiar. These will involve Venus themes- money, relationships, what you want, what you’re are attracted to, your values. There will be discomfort, security fears and anxiety because the Yod is a challenging configuration. The “target” (whatever Venus represents) will not respond to neediness or fear. Use the comforts that you know are real and sacred as a solid foundation, then reach upwards and outwards while keeping your feet planted.

Moon in Taurus trine Pluto in Capricorn (20°)
Moon Void of Course in Taurus (4:37 AM EDT)
Waning Inconjunct between the Taurus Moon and Libra Sun (22°)
Moon enters Gemini (10:29 PM EDT)
The final, major aspect that the Moon makes before it goes VOC is a trine to Pluto. This is an empowering aspect that helps you solidify what you already have in practical, physical terms. It’s a good time to rest and take stock of what you’ve built, because VOC Is not a time to start anything new.
However, while the Moon is VOC, it will form a Waning Inconjunct with the the Sun. This aspect demands minor adjustments after the culmination of the October 13th Full Moon. Your balance with another (the balance that was disrupted or transformed during the Full Moon) will now receive a slight correction as you integrate subjective concerns. Take what makes you feel secure and incorporate it into these relationship changes.
Once the Moon enters Gemini the energy should become lighter and your choices will increase regarding what you can do next.

Libra Sun sextile Ceres in Sagittarius (17°)
Venus in Scorpio inconjunct Chiron RX in Aries (3°)
Pluto in Capricorn trine Juno in Virgo (20°)
Venus/Chiron means that the deeper you go regarding what you want or attract, the more vulnerable you’ll be. You may be tempted to keep what’s uncomfortable hidden while dealing with the obvious wound. Or, you may try to lose yourself in the obsession while ignoring the battle.
This aspect can amplify the “ugliness” of taboo issues around love, values or beauty. You may feel unattractive or ashamed because of the intensity. It’s a tough one, because you have to integrate the external wound with the Shadow. The uglier you feel, the more important it is that you come to terms with this. Healing occurs when you confront what’s in the Shadow and find a way to love yourself.
Fortunately, you have a nice Sun (in Venus-ruled Libra)/Ceres aspect that brings balanced, expansive nurturing. This energy encourages you to explore the possibilities and trust that justice, idealism and hope are accessible in relationships.
Also, Pluto (ruler of Scorpio) empowers Juno’s relationship commitments by adding depth to the details of the agreement. The little things between you and another and your mutual efforts to make the partnership better/cleaner/correct can be potently effective.
What does this mean overall? One sticky aspect and two supportive aspects mean that you can handle the uncomfortable stuff.

Venus in Leo inconjunct Saturn Rx in Capricorn (15 deg)
Pluto Rx in Capricorn trine Vesta in Taurus (21 deg)
Venus/Saturn adds a bit of grit to the Venus/Jupiter trine. There are certain rules or limits which cannot be ignored, and they’ll cast a shadow over what you want. You may not get everything you desire, or there will be moments when you feel less than beautiful/worthy. Although the overall vibe is bright, bountiful and beautiful, Saturn is there to remind you of a specific reality. As you bump up against that limit, acknowledge it but don’t allow it to put out your fire.
Pluto/Vesta is empowered focus on resources/security, or empowering yourself by devoting your energies to what’s essential. There can be a fixation on physical matters, and the harmony of the trine encourages you to transform an existing situation by giving it your full attention. There’s great manifestation potential here, and the key is Pluto Rx’s concentrated deconstruction and excavation of current structures. Dig deeper, redefine the rules and use this to strengthen your material security or physical stamina.
This connects back to Venus/Saturn, as Saturn rules Capricorn and Venus rules Taurus. There’s a clue on how to handle the Saturn inconjunct – use the current realities and enforced focus to your advantage.

Venus
Venus/Jupiter can exaggerate what you want – there may appear to be more choices regarding a financial, relationship or value issue. And they will be exuberant and tempting. But some of those choices will be unwise, as Jupiter retrograde asks you to review before you say “yes.” And Venus’ inconjuncts to the South Node and Saturn Rx insist that a rule/limit from the past will narrow your choices. So really, you may only have one, viable option. The brakes will be applied and that issue from the past will not be ignored.
Uranus
Uranus/Vesta adds urgency to an area of focus. Vesta is the ultimate focus/sacred flame, and Uranus suggests a sudden shot of devotion; an all-or-nothing, extreme jolt that clarifies what has the most value (Taurus). This will include old values/resources/habits being blown away.
The sextile to BML suggests this will involve some taboo, possibly magical/transcendent expressions of female energy. One of Lilith’s manifestations is the witch, and this is emphasized in Pisces, the sign that lies beyond reality. Here we have a wake-up call about what/who is essential, even if she’s “forbidden.”
Vesta is purity and BML is dark, raw sexuality (the prostitute, the other woman, the woman who belongs to no one). When they harmonize, what’s socially forbidden becomes a path to personal enlightenment and discipline (Vesta is untouchable in her own way – she also belongs to no one but herself).
Add Uranus’s liberation, and you have a whole new set of values and security at your fingertips.
Summary
So, if we consider Uranus/Vesta/BML and the aspects to Venus (also female energy and the ruler of Taurus) a picture emerges- you’re questioning what sounds/looks good regarding love and values. Is it hollow? At the same time, there’s one, undeniable choice. You’re not stuck in the past, but you are paying attention to what came before so you don’t make the same mistakes. Or maybe there’s an ongoing responsibility/tradition that still has value.
Either way, Uranus/Vesta in Taurus insists that part of this is about devoting yourself to a new goddess – a new expression of female energy/values (whether you’re a man or woman) who cracks the Saturn whip.
