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.
October 18th, 2018: Step Back

Moon in Aquarius square Mercury in Scorpio (12 deg)
Moon in Aquarius conjunct Mars (13 deg)
Moon in Aquarius trine Ceres in Libra (19 deg)
The Moon’s square to Mercury can trigger tense realizations- detached energy will illuminate what’s obscured. Communication can feel uncomfortable, as deep observations clash with the need to remain distant. When the Moon conjoins Mars, watch for a spark that lights a rebellious or unusual urge. The pull of Scorpio’s depths will be forcefully denied. Now is not the time to look for intimacy – the mood is restless and a bit crazy.
If you’re aware of what’s happening, this energy can be channeled in a healthy way via the Moon’s trine to Ceres. Mutual freedom can be nurtured in a relationship. This is about giving the other person room to breath – stepping back and keeping your touch light can actually bring you closer.
October 14th, 2018: Taboo and Sacred

Mercury in Scorpio square Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (7 deg)
Venus Rx in Scorpio sextile Vesta in Capricorn (9 deg)
Mercury/Black Moon Lilith
Mercury/BML suggests Scorpio’s secrets or taboo truths conflict with BML in Aquarius’ radical lady. While Lilith herself is about the taboo (and unpalatable truths), in this case, what’s spoken or understood about her will be discordant. Perhaps too much is revealed about a Lilith issue. Or, perhaps a BML-type person speaks her truth and it comes across as too heavy or too horrific.
Yes, BML’s energy can naturally be “too much” under the best of circumstances, but when she makes a hard aspect to Mercury, her message is extra challenging. Keep this in mind if you’re thinking of communicating things that others don’t want to hear – this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t, only that you should be aware of today’s energies.
Venus/Vesta
Venus Rx in harmony with Vesta might smooth things out a bit, or least remind you of what’s most important.
An area of Venus- themed (money, relationships, self-esteem) investigation or review will be enhanced by Vesta’s strict (Capricorn) focus. You can zero in what really matters while tuning out the white noise of social discord or disapproving chatter. Venus’ energy is elevated and Scorpio’s darkness becomes the sacrament – Vesta (the temple) is about purity of intent, so you can consider what boundaries or rules (Capricorn) should be applied to what matters most. Do you treat yourself and your resources (financial and emotional) like they are sacred? Only a select few are allowed to enter the temple.
Remember that when Scorpio’s energy is used correctly, it too is quite selective. Only those who respect the power and enhance chances of survival/evolution are allowed to get close.
Creating Balance | Astrology Horoscope
There’s an intense need for balance this week, under the karmic Libra New Moon on Monday October 8. With a craving for fairness and making things right, we’ll feel encouraged to start a new beginning, a start-up project or perhaps create a fresh approach to an unresolved situation. As an inner restlessness occurs, imagination will […]
October 1st, 2018: Black Moon Lilith Conjunct Mars in Aquarius
Mars conjunct Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (6 deg)
This is volatile energy. Mars is the activator, and in this case, what’s being activated is Lilith’s agenda of female rebellion and empowerment. But we must remember that she is feared and disliked by many – she is the outsider, especially in Aquarius. So power and liberation will come at a price.
Anger is part of BML’s vibe, because she was cast out. This is the anger of not being accepted, of being repressed, of being denied. Mars is, of course, about anger. So rest assured that what comes out today will be fuelled by this. Mars is also male energy and sexuality, so we may have a clash of the sexes or confrontation over a sexual issue. Lilith could act out by expressing herself in ways that threaten men. Or, she could be threatened herself.
The best-case scenario is an opportunity to take action and express part of yourself that’s honest and makes others uncomfortable. This can be about liberation, but expect resistance or even anger from some quarters. Some interpretations of BML try to paint a pretty face on her, but in my experience she is not pretty. Even when her power is being expressed in the most constructive way, there will be people who react strongly and unpleasantly to her, because she is strong and unpleasant (although she can be powerfully seductive).
Dawn Bodrogi said it best in this post from her site, The Inner Wheel:
“…I’ve yet to discover a true positive side to her aside from the raw power which emerges from her intimate connection to occult abilities, and her propensity to distribute post-rage clarity…the only way we can tap into the great power of BML is to sacrifice our fears, terrors and hungers.”
And I don’t think there’s anything wrong with “not pretty.” Not everything is pretty. Not everything is positive. Sometimes you have to go dark.
If you feel this conjunction (if you have anything from 5 to 6 deg of the Fixed signs) consider what needs to be liberated and why others might find it unacceptable or uncomfortable. You may be confronted, or you may be the one doing the confronting.
