  • Mercury in Libra trine the Aquarius South Node (4 deg)

Mercury/South Node (part of today’s Full Moon) indicates that some compromise or agreement is possible. The South Node is about what’s habitual or culminating from the past. It’s already in existence (while the North Node is still developing). So although you’ll be dealing with this Full Moon’s difficult Chiron and Saturn energies, there will be an area where it feels natural to communicate.

It will likely be something from the past and the Air sign emphasis means objective observation (keep it light) will work best. Aquarius is about the group while Libra is one-on-one, so you should be able to translate a big-picture issue into something more personal. Mercury also makes a sextile to the Leo North Node, so you can go further with whatever is discussed. The conversation’s not over.

In general, this aspect encourages you to talk about it, no matter how challenging things are.

September 23rd, 2018: Painfully Polite

  • Sun in Libra opposite Chiron Rx in Aries (0 deg)

  • Mercury in Libra square Saturn in Capricorn (2 deg)

  • Mercury in Libra trine Mars in Aquarius (3 deg)

Sun/Chiron illuminates a sore spot or an area requiring unusual courage. You may be reluctant to step up because it’s socially unacceptable. You may want to avoid the issue, or the issue may be projected (it’s not really about you). But Chiron in Aries demands a confrontation. This will be a continuation of yesterday’s Mercury/Chiron opposition.

Speaking of Mercury, the square to Saturn suggests excruciating politeness. Mercury square Saturn can manifest as stiff, halting words. And when Libra is added there is a fear of saying something that’s not acceptable. This will probably be related to the Chiron opposition- if you do the wrong thing, it might hurt. There will be an imbalance between courage and social harmony. Saturn’s rules can’t be broken, but something still needs to be confronted. Libra is about taking that impossible mix and somehow finding the middle ground.

Not great for spontaneous ideas, although the trine to Mars can present an outlet, if you’re paying attention. Watch for a less obvious but still significant way to get your point across. Mars trine Mercury is about words with an easy flow of passion and force, although the shadow of Saturn will clamp down on some of that. Nonetheless, you can still speak out as long as certain rules are respected.

All of the above aspects are part of the September 24th Full Moon, and can be considered advance influences.

September 18th, 2018: Mars Square Uranus in Taurus

  • Mars in Aquarius square Uranus Rx in Taurus (1 deg)

Here’s the final jolt. Sudden or disruptive actions that are a break for freedom (or a radical snap that frees you from the past) are in front of you once again. This is new, but not really:

  • May 16th: Mars direct square Uranus (0 deg Taurus)

  • August 1st: Mars Rx square Uranus (2 deg Taurus)

The initial square was aligned with Uranus’ Taurus ingress (on May 15th) so the ongoing surprises have been about much more than immediate actions. The bigger issue is, what does Uranus’ transit of Taurus mean for you? What resources/habits/values are being shaken up, and why? The squares to Mars could be seen as initial manifestations – what you had to do or what you had to break away from. Today’s final square means you’ve reached one of the many turning points that Uranus in Taurus will bring. 

What’s your next move?

September 17th, 2018: Vesta and Lilith

by  •

  • Vesta reenters Capricorn
  • Black Moon Lilith conjunct the Aquarius South Node (4 deg)

Vesta

Vesta first entered Capricorn on April 1, 2018. Her absolute focus was given an extra shot of absolute in this Saturn-ruled sign. You may have noticed an enhanced concern with or devotion to rules, work, status or tradition. There was no deviating from the track. 

She stationed Rx on May 8th (4 deg) and reentered Sagittarius on June 13th. So the focus might have eased up at that point, as you looked back at the bigger picture. 

As Vesta returns to Capricorn, it’s time to get serious again. There’s a goal or obligation that’s demanding your full attention. Perhaps a tradition you must devote yourself to. Vesta in Capricorn is about the purity of what’s always been accepted and controlled. 

Lilith

As mentioned in yesterday’s post, BML conjunct the South Node adds some karmic weight to her rebellious energy. While she can truly be the outcast or awakener in this sign, the South Node suggests that a major issue is ready to be completed. This could be about the public status of the dangerous woman, or perhaps it’s time for her to step away from the role of outcast and come into the light (Leo North Node) with pride and purpose. No matter how “unacceptable” she is. 

Note the contrast between these two influences; ultra- tradition versus rebellion.

September 16th, 2018: First Quarter Square and Venus Square Lilith

by  •

  • First Quarter Square between the Sagittarius Moon and Virgo Sun (24 deg)

  • Venus in Scorpio square Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (4 deg)

  • Venus in Scorpio square the North/South Nodes in Leo/Aquarius (4 deg)

  • Ceres in Libra trine Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (4 deg)

First Quarter Square

The First Quarter Square can trigger a crisis about the details. There’s more to add and more to consider. You may need to expand beyond the details or put your faith in something that’s not proven. This can feel messy and even a bit risky, but if you don’t take that step you’ll notice that sticking with the small stuff will begin to feel restrictive. 

Take that leap – the First Quarter Square is about action. 

Venus and Lilith

Venus’ square to Lilith brings another crisis. Venus in Scorpio is dark and intense, but Scorpio’s shadows manifest in the familiar guise of female energy – Venus attracts and is about relationships. In Scorpio, she draws people in so she can get as close as possible. Lilith in Aquarius couldn’t care less about relationships. She’s out there on her own, blazing her own path, offending or unnerving most people. If she does attract someone they’re usually drawn to the truly atypical, independent lady who doesn’t want to attract them in the first place.   

When these two square each other, you may experience the clash between merging and repulsing, or the desire for complete intimacy versus complete distance. These are two different types of female power – absorption of the partner’s resources (and in some cases, the partner) versus zero need for a partner. 

BML will conjoin the South Node on September 17th, and Venus is also squaring the Nodes. This makes it an even bigger issue – karmic. Lilith on the Aquarius South Node says this is an issue from the past (or past life) that’s culminating. The outcast/witch/dangerous woman/mistress has been an ongoing theme, and Venus square the Nodes means it’s time to dive beneath those dynamics. Look at the shadow issues. For example, if you feel like you’re the outcast, does part of you like that status? Does part of you relish being isolated? This might happen if true intimacy (Scorpio) is more frightening than detachment (Aquarius). If you’re judging/rejecting someone else because of her behaviour, consider if she is a manifestation of your shadow. Venus square the Nodes can point to a key relationship or woman. 

With the Leo North Node as the path forward, you’re looking at how you can illuminate what’s secret/buried, and bring warmth and pride to what was previously rejected. 

Interestingly, Ceres in Venus-ruled Libra is making a nice trine to Lilith. So despite her rebel tendencies, there’s an opportunity to nurture some kind of one-on-one connection. Perhaps a bit of equality? But the tension of the square always outweighs the ease of the trine, so my guess is the square to Venus will dominate. 

As this is happening during the First Quarter Square, you are encouraged to move beyond what you know (what you consider to be true) regarding relationships, attraction and being on the outside. 

Due to Venus’ upcoming Rx (Oct 5th) her square to Lilith and the Nodes will repeat (note the change of sign for the Nodes). So this issue will continue to the end of the year.:

  • Oct 17th: Venus Rx in Scorpio square BML (8 deg)

  • Oct 30th: Venus Rx in Scorpio square the Nodes in Leo/Aquarius (0 deg)

  • Nov 28th: Venus direct in Libra square the North/South Node in Cancer/Capricorn (28 deg)

  • Dec 23rd: Venus direct in Scorpio square BML (15 deg)
