If we can quietly observe and reflect in what holds the most importance for our individual growth, we could find an opportunity in this cosmic process of breakdown, to break through. Areas that surround our values, relationships, love and money will be most sensitive this week, with a lonely Venus/Saturn opposition on Wednesday July 17, […]

July 11th, 2019: Mars Square Uranus

Waxing Trine between the Scorpio Moon and Cancer Sun (19 deg)
Mars in Leo trine Chiron Rx in Aries (5 deg)
Mars in Leo square Uranus in Taurus (6 deg)
The Waxing Trine enables harmony between what’s safe/comfortable and what can be very uncomfortable. Intensity blends with familiarity, moving you towards a profound exploration of needs, feelings or family issues. Excellent for accessing secrets or personal issues that no one wants to look at. Now’s the chance to dive in and get comfortable in the deeper waters.
The Mars/Chiron trine continues that theme as bold or confident actions trigger healing through courage. The wound is there, but you’ve got the stuff to confront it and move through it – you can stand out/stand up even though you feel vulernable.
But…Mars also squares Uranus. So there will be jolts, accidents, explosions of anger or unexpected displays. Again the backdrop of these smooth trines we have a surge of electricity – it may be a push into the future or an impatient demand for attention, no matter the cost. Maybe this is what triggers the need to go deeper. And it can certainly open up an opportunity for healing (Chiron) through bold actions (Mars).
Mars/Uranus is risky – Mars in Leo likes to play/gamble/grab attention and a hard aspect to Uranus cranks that up. These energies can result in liberation or breakage – caution is advised. What are you trying to accomplish? The current is moving forward but it’s best if you exercise awareness.

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
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 […]
