December 1st, 2018: Mercury Rx Into Scorpio

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

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).
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 15th, 2018: Take Action
Waxing Square between the Aquarius Moon and Scorpio Sun (23 deg)
Mars in Aquarius sextile Uranus Rx in Aries (29 deg)
The Waxing Square can disrupt control, survival or intimacy with an abrupt flash of something out of left field. A new development, break from the rules or external prompt can force you to bring something out into the open, or give up some control. Too, you may be compelled to detach yourself from a situation that’s been taking up all your energy. Is it time to step back or move forward from the fixation? The shock may be unpleasant but it’s a sign that a situation needs to be stirred up.
You need to take action.
Continuing the Uranus theme, Mars in the final degree of Aquarius makes a sextile to Uranus (ruler of Aquarius). Mars will enter Pisces later today, but before it does, the action planet gets a an encouraging nudge from Uranus – this energy favours stepping out of bounds, taking a mild risk or breaking with convention. Mars and Uranus are in mutual reception (in each other’s rulers) so the energy of sudden or rebellious actions is intensified.
However, the harmony of the sextile ensures that the delivery of this energy will be easy to handle (you won’t have to do anything too crazy) and this can help immensely with the Waxing Square (which is action-based crisis).
Now’s your moment to step forward, even if you don’t want to (especially if you don’t want to).
Making A Way for Acceptance | Astrology Horoscope
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 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.
Fear Of The Dark
Hi friends! We’re still being led into an overwhelming amount of darkness as powerful Sun leaves harmonizing Libra on Tuesday, October 23, to join Mercury, Venus and Jupiter in the transformative realm of Scorpio. During the next four weeks, some of us will be quite fixed and comfortable in the darkness with our ‘big’ little […]

Waxing Trine between the Aquarius Moon and Libra Sun (26 deg)
Mercury in Scorpio trine Neptune Rx in Pisces (14 deg)
Mercury in Scorpio square Mars in Aquarius (14 deg)
Waxing Trine
The Waxing Trine indicates a natural flow between partnership and independence, one-on-one and the group. All the social angles are covered, making it easy to connect with others on various levels. The catch is that you have to keep it light – the Air signs call for detachment and intellectual connections. Overall, this trine has a lively vibe that that enables the progress of any type of relationship.
Mercury
Despite the flow of the trine, Mercury’s square to Mars does suggest that communication will be tense. The urge to dig deep for answers (and this can be rooted in the desire to control by knowing all the “secrets”) will clash with actions that demand freedom. There may be tension between wanting to step back versus wanting to know more. The result can be angry words and forceful demands.
The Neptune/Mercury trine can help. If you encounter pressure to reveal more than you’re comfortable with, or you’re the one applying the pressure, take a deep breath, exhale and let go. Accept that you can’t force the words or knowledge – some things aren’t meant to be known, and you don’t have to open up if you don’t want to. Neptune encourages release, forgiveness and its own brand of detachment via transcendence. What you need to know will come to you, as will the right words.
The common theme today is the trine – natural flow. There is no need to force anything, because what’s meant to unfold will do so without effort.
