July 8th, 2019: Slow Down, It Hurts

  • Mercury Rx in Leo conjunct Mars (4 deg)

  • Venus in Cancer square Chiron in Aries (5 deg)

  • Venus in Cancer sextile Uranus in Taurus (6 deg)

  • Chiron stations Rx in Aries (5 deg)

Mercury/Mars

Words and actions unite, but Mercury’s Rx status means one or more of the following:

  • taking action on a conversation/idea from the past

  • questioning current actions (look behind the shine)

  • looking back intensifies the decision to act (it’s time)

  • a message from the past triggers anger/passion/assertiveness

In general, there’s increased thoughtfulness combined with bold/showy actions. There could be delays, but more likely the second look or question will prompt the actions. This can be a powerful way to manifest, provided you take note of what Mercury Rx is telling you.

Venus/Chiron

Venus’ square to Chiron in Mars-ruled Aries adds another layer to the above. It would appear that the actions are happening in the face of a painful relationship, financial or self-esteem issue. Venus in Cancer is tender, and a hard aspect to Chiron means ultra-sensitive moments where you don’t get what you want (including empathy) or what you want reveals some very awkward feelings. Perhaps this is why Mercury is Rx when joined with Mars – it will be so important to slow down and proceed with care even if you’re asserting yourself with bold words.

However, Venus’ sextile to Uranus (in Venus-ruled Taurus) is hopeful. Despite the pain and tenderness, there’s room to progress, provided you focus on doing things for yourself and liberating yourself from stagnant habits/security needs. Taurus is about self-sufficiency and Uranus is about independence. These energies can support Venus who is (let’s be honest) sometimes quite helpless and needy in Cancer. Look at how you can become more self-sufficient.

And finally, Chiron stations Rx after the “ouch” with Venus. This echoes Mercury’s Rx – more reviews and intensifications. Whatever Venus/Chiron stirred up will amplify what hurts. Chiron Rx can press harder on the wound or force you to slow down and look inside. You can’t ignore it – it’s time to face the pain. You may be called on to display more courage, even though you feel weak. That “weakness” is the entry point and it’s where the healing begins.

Today is the day you assert yourself, with carefully chosen words, in the face of what hurts. Today is the day you take stock of why it hurts.

Becoming Self-Sufficient | Starcana Cosmic Dirt

Vibrations shift this week as Mars (energy, desires) moves from passive Cancer, into brave-heart Leo on Monday, July 1. Behavior that seemed defensive or tame during the past few weeks, becomes raw, roaring and reactive for what we’re starving for over the next six weeks. We’re hungry, and we’re not backing down from the chase […]

June 25th, 2019: Last Quarter Square and a Grand Trine

Last Quarter.jpg

  • Moon in Aries trine Juno in Leo (2 deg)

  • Moon in Aries trine Ceres Rx in Sagittarius (2 deg)

  • Last Quarter Square between the Aries Moon and Cancer Sun (3 deg)

  • Moon conjunct Chiron (5 deg)

  • Juno in Leo trine Ceres Rx in Sagittarius (2 deg)

Last Quarter Square

Here we have a crisis between strength and vulnerability. You were safe, relying on what was familiar. But that’s starting to feel suffocating, and a restless impulse emerges to assertively question family or security. This may be a brand new issue, and the Moon’s conjunction to Chiron indicates that it will involve an uncomfortable mix of putting yourself out there (Aries) while being vulnerable. Perhaps there’s a family wound that needs to be confronted.

Grand Fire Trine

But the Moon is also part of a Grand Fire Trine involving Juno (partnership agreements) and Ceres (nurturing). So there’s a smooth flow of vibrant, confident energy that encourages bold questions and confrontations. Juno trine Ceres is the nurturing agreement which encourages pride and confidence between partners. If we add in Moon/Chiron, it suggests support (via this agreement) for these new questions that make you feel vulnerable. Or, perhaps there can be an agreement to confront the uncomfortable stuff.

Either way, you can tap into this energy to help you through the tension of the Last Quarter Square.

Seeing Possibilities

What tends to matter most – personal values, love and money – becomes blurry and could cause us to lose our way under a starry-eyed Venus/Neptune square, Monday morning June 24. What we imagine under this uncomfortable aspect, may send us back into an old romance with self-doubt or guilt with the help of a […]

Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself

All that we’ve been learning and experiencing will be in the light of the adventurous Sagittarius Full Moon, Monday June 17. Intentions from the Gemini New Moon will come to peak. We’ll have our fifteen minutes of shine, which will allow for the process of letting go, release, and an ending. Where we’ve felt caged […]

June 13th, 2019: Venus in Gemini Sextile Chiron

  • Venus in Gemini sextile Chiron in Aries (5 deg)

There’s more than one way to deal with the wound, as long as you keep it light. Venus in Gemini is the multi-layered social interaction or new understanding of what’s beautiful. If you open your eyes and talk about what you want (or listen to what they want) you’ll discover empathy for what hurts.

This is a gentle influence – not heavy or emotionally charged. You touch on what hurts and then move away. Perhaps you return from a different angle, then move away again. At the same time, Chiron adds a bit of texture to Venus’ sometimes-superficial approach as the suggestion of awkwardness or fear adds a layer of attraction.

Maybe you can even muster a smile – this does not invalidate the pain.
