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

by  •

  • 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.

Mars’ Transit of Leo: Proud or Childish?

by  •

Mars (actions, sexual energy, anger) enters Leo on July 1st. Leo is a Fixed (stubborn) sign that is concerned with pride, attention, self-expression and creativity. Mars can be bold and insistent in this sign, pushing for what seems essential (including romance and risk) because it’s a matter of pride. Ego drives actions. This can indicate confident actions or childish actions, depending on how aware the person is.

Confident actions come from a place of heat and calmness – you just know this is it and the heat of your assurance keeps you centered. Childish actions are a reaction to feeling ignored or insecure – you feel like you have to prove something.

Overall, this is a good transit for doing things that grab attention. But remember that Mercury will station Rx in this sign on July 7th (and will conjunct Mars) so there will be delays and questions.

Here are the aspects Mars in Leo in will make:

  • Jul 3rd: trine Ceres Rx in Sagittarius (1 deg)

  • Jul 8th: conjunct Mercury Rx (4 deg)

  • Jul 11th: trine Chiron Rx in Aries (5 deg)

  • Jul 11th: square Uranus in Taurus (6 deg)

  • Jul 14th: inconjunct Black moon Lilith in Pisces (7 deg)

  • Jul 25th: trine Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (14 deg)

  • Jul 26th: inocnjunct Saturn Rx in Capricorn (15 deg)

  • Jul 30th: inconjunct Neptune Rx in Pisces (18 deg)

  • Jul 31st: square Vesta in Taurus (18 deg)

  • Aug 3rd; conjunct Juno (20 deg)

  • Aug 4th: inconjunct Pluto Rx in Capricorn (21 deg)

  • Aug 8th: sextile Pallas in Libra (23 deg)

  • Aug 18th; Virgo ingress

Becoming Self-Sufficient | Starcana Cosmic Dirt

by  • 

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 19th, 2019: Mercury/Mars Opposite Pluto Rx

by  •

  • Waning Inconjunct between the Capricorn Moon and Gemini Sun (28 deg)

  • Mercury and Mars in Cancer opposite Pluto Rx in Capricorn (22 deg)

After the results of June 17th’s Full Moon, the Waning Inconjunct adds another wrinkle. The truth or the story/promise needs to be adjusted according to a rule. You may not want to apply this rule – it may feel strict, unfair or harsh. But there are certain structures that need to be put in place. This will help you narrow your focus or make the wise choice.

Mercury rules the Gemini Sun, and along with Mars opposes Pluto Rx. This adds more tension to the inconjunct- forceful (Mars) words (Mercury) are extremely challenged or challenging. Subterranean truths are dredged up by obsessive actions and thoughts. In emotional Cancer, it will be very difficult to have a balanced, civil discussion. Nothing will be logical – there may be tears, angry neediness, words screamed from the child that sits inside all of us.

You may be pummeled by someone’s truth, or you may project anger/obsessiveness onto someone else. Projection is always a risk with the opposition. As always with Pluto, awareness is the best defense – think carefully before you act and speak, especially if you feel that a truth must be delivered. If someone comes at you, recognize that much of what’s happening is probably projection or attempts to manipulate through intimidation.

Can anything positive come out of today’s aspects? Well, Pluto always reveals what lies beneath. If you’re very careful, the union of words and actions can be focused for maximum effectiveness, using brutal honesty as fuel. Pluto is the subconscious or secrets and (if your eyes are wide open) can be focused through the conscious expression of words united with actions. You can obliterate a lie with this power. You can also destroy something perfectly good.

Be careful.

This takes us back to the Waning Inconjunct – that annoying rule or limit can act as a brake. Select your words with care and apply discipline, maturity and judgement.
