  • Libra Moon square the Nodes (10°)

  • Libra Moon conjunct Mars (14°)

  • Libra Moon square Saturn in Capricorn (15°)

Aspects from the Moon can be felt as passing influences, but sometimes they are enough to trigger a major issue.

The square to the Capricorn South Node/Cancer North Node highlights a difficult choice between familiar traditions/rules versus unknown but more authentic, emotional situations. The Moon rules the North Node which tells us that this is about balancing (Libra) your needs against existing rules. Ideally, you want to move forward (towards the NN) but there will be a struggle to maintain that balance. You may be dealing with a relationship or conventional social situation.

As the Moon joins Mars, watch for a sudden flare up of passion, anger or impulse. There will be an urge to act now, and you may be dealing with passive- aggressive behaviour or the need to be polite. And then the Moon runs into a square with Saturn; any momentum that you developed will come to a halt. Saturn is ruler of the SN, so those issues from the past cannot be ignored. Before you move forward, you must deal with someone in authority and temporarily accept that you’ll be on your own. Despite the poke from Mars, this is not the time to let your feelings run wild. Restraint, maturity and focus on the endgame (the NN) are your goals.

It takes a certain type of strength to achieve balanced restraint: that’s what’s being asked of you today.

October 24th, 2019: Black Moon Lilith And Venus

by  •

  • Venus in Scorpio trine Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (19°)

  • Moon in Virgo opposite Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (19°)

It’s always nice when Venus and BML harmonize because that indicates a flow between the more typical expressions of  female energy (Venus is about relating) and the atypical, outsider expressions of “dangerous” female sexuality.

Venus in Scorpio is about relating on the deepest possible level. The commitment to intimacy and authenticity is total. Or, perhaps you’re delving into your own hidden resources/taboos. Either way, it’s about being nakedly honest. 

But that doesn’t mean everything is on display, because Venus in Scorpio is very private. This supports expressions of sexual energy that are outside the bounds of convention. BML in Pisces is the witch, because she transcends what’s real and defined. Today’s aspect says that she draws her power from your deepest awareness of what you want, love and value. This may be a very private development for yourself, or between you and another.

What’s interesting is that the Moon (Lilith’s opposite) is actually opposing BML from Virgo. This highlights the contrast between the “virginal” mothering/nurturing figure who serves versus the one who serves only herself. It reminds us that BML is not here to make us feel comfortable. The Moon’s opposition may emphasize a choice that you have to make, or tension between two types of women.

Venus is the harmonious, connecting facto; get honest and look at the shadow issues behind mothering, fixing and virgin/whore projections. Who is considered pure and impure, and are these descriptions even valid?

No one said Venus in Scorpio delivered the good stuff easily.

October 22nd, 2019: Shadow Behind The Shine

by  • 

Gerard ter Borch

Gerard ter Borch

  • Moon in Leo sextile Mars in Libra (11°)

  • Moon in Leo square Venus in Scorpio (17°)

The bold Leo Moon is encouraged by flirtatious Mars in Libra. This energy favours light hearted attractions with a bit of sizzle, or going out and celebrating because you want to show off. Actions are key-you’ve got to make it happen.

However, Venus (ruler of Libra) makes a tense square to the Moon, suggesting that it’s possible to overdo it. What started out as light and fun can quickly become intense as jealousy, possessiveness and grasping demands for affection take hold. Watch for the moment a situation starts to tip over into something darker-Scorpio is the shadow behind Leo’s shine, demanding authenticity by pushing the limits. If you’re prepared to go deep, make sure you really want it.

October 18th, 2019: Balancing Objective With Subjective

by  •

  • Waning Trine between the Gemini Moon and Libra Sun (25°)

  • Libra Sun inconjunct Vesta RX in Taurus (25°)

The Waning Trine enables dissemination of information in a balanced way. Excellent for all communication matters, especially in a one-on-one capacity. Others will be receptive to what you know and will offer something in return. This is light, sociable energy that’s a bit irreverent: good for chatting with others and making random but pleasant connections.

But there is one, small point of tension- the inconjunct indicates difficulties balancing objective concerns with subjective focus. What’s happening today is not all about you, but you still have to integrate a primary focus on personal security/ finances/preservation. The smooth energy of the trine should dominate, but don’t ignore the small twinge that reminds you to consider your own interests.
