  • Waning Trine between the Cancer Moon and Scorpio Sun (24°)

  • Uranus RX in Taurus inconjunct Pallas in Sagittarius (3°)

The Waning Trine offers a smooth flow between comfortable emotions and deeper issues. What’s intense or taboo can be shared safely with others. This energy is intuitive rather than logical-feel your way through the moment and allow emotional intimacy to unfold naturally.

Uranus/Pallas is a small but awkward point of tension between new and expansive strategies (Pallas) versus disruptions (Uranus) to what you’re trying to preserve. Sudden or enforced liberation from stagnant security habits can result in impulsive strategies or fear of exploration. Don’t allow anxiety to derail a bigger pattern or solution that’s starting to emerge.

October 21st, 2019: Crisis and Action

  • Last Quarter Square between the Cancer Moon and Libra Sun (27°)

  • Mars in Libra square the Capricorn South Node/Cancer North Node (11°)

  • Venus in Scorpio trine Neptune RX in Pisces (16°)

The Last Quarter Square can trigger difficult questions around balancing your personal needs in a relationship. Maybe you’ve been giving too much or trying so hard to be agreeable that you’ve ignored your core truths. This square will activate a crisis that forces you to consider what you really need and how that compares to what you’ve been giving or receiving.

Adding to the tension, Mars squaring the Nodes can make it very difficult to act or express anger. It may feel like everything you do is out of step with the current. This is actually a reminder to pause and consider the choice that’s been active since September 22nd (Mercury, Venus and the Sun in Libra have squared the Nodes since that date)-the value of old rules/traditions/judgments versus a more authentic path forward that is aligned with what you need. 

The Cancer Moon rules the North Node so this is very much about stepping away from familiar but limiting habits and moving towards what’s unfamiliar but authentic. Maybe a responsibility needs to be wrapped up before you step forward. Any action you take should move you towards the North Node.

There is a harmonious connection between Venus and Neptune-this energy promises unconditional love, easy intimacy or a smooth immersion into what you want. While today’s actions will be tricky, attracting, allowing and opening yourself up to something you trust should be effortless (as long as you’re willing to go all the way). Note that Venus rules Libra, so this takes us back to the Third Quarter Square: diving into what’s authentic can be part of the answer to this crisis.

October 16th, 2019: After The Full Moon

  • 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.

October 5th, 2019: Crisis and Discomfort

by  •

  • First Quarter Square between the Capricorn Moon and Libra Sun (12°)

  • Mercury in Scorpio inconjunct Chiron RX in Aries (3°)

The 1st Quarter Square triggers a crisis between relationships and boundaries. Libra Sun wants to be sociable and agreeable, but Capricorn says it’s time to say “No” or express your authority. This will feel uncomfortable, but it will be even more uncomfortable to try to make everyone happy. Take action and draw your line.

Mercury/ Chiron adds to the discomfort as deep analysis or intense words reveal painful issues. You may be tempted to not look at or speak about the taboo issue because the wound is still fresh. Or, you may be so preoccupied with fighting the ongoing battle that you forget to look beneath the surface. 

Chiron RX means you are revisiting a previous wound and this is the ideal moment to uncover more information/ secrets. Don’t be afraid to look deeper this time around. The 1st Quarter Square indicates that events will push you forward if you act -you can progress. You just have to be willing to confront the ugly stuff.

October 2nd, 2019: Moon from Scorpio to Sagittarius

  • Moon in Scorpio sextile Mars in Virgo (28°)

  • Moon Void of Course in Scorpio (28° 5:45 AM EDT)

  • Moon enters Sagittarius (7:44 AM EDT)

The Moon’s last aspect before it goes VOC is a motivating sextile to Mars. Careful actions can result in small but significant changes on a deep level. This is the time for making slight adjustments in areas that are usually obscured or taboo .The smallest efforts will have a resounding impact due to the Moon’s position in Scorpio: you don’t have to do much but, but do it carefully. Think targeted, strategic efforts.

The Moon is VOC for a very brief period of time before it enters Sagittarius. Now is the moment to surge forward with enthusiasm, fuelled by confidence that’s based on your profound, precise actions from earlier.

September 21st, 2019: Crises and Opportunity

  • Third Quarter Square between the Gemini Moon and Virgo Sun (28 deg)

  • Jupiter in Sagittarius square Neptune Rx in Pisces (16 deg)

The 3rd Quarter Square triggers a crisis between rigid perfection versus flexible choices. The Virgo Sun offers a set way of doing things; routines and solutions are grounded in practical knowledge. The Gemini Moon raises awkward questions- suddenly there are multiple choices and more than one way of being correct. You may want to stick with what works, but it’s time to look at additional options. This is about the tension between precision and flexibility. Is what you know the final word? It might be time to question the diagnosis.

The final Jupiter/ Neptune square also occurs today. Here we have another crisis-Jupiter’s ideals and wisdom versus Neptune’s dreams. Watch for exaggerated hopes and beliefs as both Jupiter and Neptune push the limits (Neptune dissolves and Jupiter expands). You believe there’s more/better or you think you know more.

The previous two squares occurred on January 13th and June 16th, so this is not a new issue. If you’ve been wrestling with the tendency to overdo it or you’ve gotten swept away in an unrealistic belief, this final square will unveil the truth. This can also be your final test of faith.

I should add that Jupiter and Neptune in any aspect can bring a lucky shot of transcendence that lifts you up and over. So within the swirling crisis and delusion there can be a vein of gold. Pay attention to the opportunity that emerges in an unexpected way, even if the surrounding situation is stressful. What new possibilities are you perceiving? Maybe you went too far but this revealed something better. Maybe you believed the false promise but your eyes were opened to a better truth.

Look at what’s expanded in your life. And remember you’re in the Third Quarter Phase- ask those questions.
