by  •

  • Moon in Libra square the South Node in Capricorn/North Node in Cancer (27 deg)

  • Moon in Libra inconjunct Chiron Rx in Pisces (27 deg)

  • Moon in Libra opposite Uranus Rx in Aries (29 deg)

  • Moon Void of Course at 1:15 PM EST

  • Moon enters Scorpio at 2:54 PM EST

  • Moon conjunct Venus (0 deg)

Today’s Moon retraces Venus’ steps from the last few days.

The square to the Nodes and inconjunct to Chiron recalls events from November 28th, as the echo of a pivotal relationship issue asks you to acknowledge what hurts while finding a place where you can feel balanced and safe. Note that the Moon rules the Cancer North Node, so this is primarily about what you need – what lies beyond the social facade or rules.

The Moon’s opposition to Uranus reminds us of the Venus/Uranus opposition, providing the clarifying jolt that pushes you away from what’s not needed (even if you’re still clinging to it). It will be impossible to pretend that everything is ok today if something is, in fact, unbalanced.

The Moon’s brief VOC allows you to catch your breath before it plunges into Scorpio and catches up with Venus.

In essence, today was a summary of events since November 28th – a reminder of what’s changed and where you’re at right now. Moon/Venus in Scorpio suggests moments of deep satisfaction and wholeness as wants merge with needs. It feels good to be at a place where you’re dealing with authentic feelings and you have nothing to hide.

December 2nd 2018: Myriad Energies

by  •

  • Waning Sextile between the Libra Moon and Sagittarius Sun (10 deg)

  • Sun in Sagittarius square Mars in Pisces (10 deg)

  • Mercury Rx in Scorpio inconjunct Uranus Rx in Aries (29 deg)

  • Venus enters Scorpio

  • Chiron Rx in Pisces trines the Cancer North Node (27 deg)

A rather full day today with myriad, shifting energies that promise some tension, some harmony and some healing.

Waning Sextile

The Waning Sextile gives you an opportunity to move into new territory (travel, education or the embrace of a new belief-Sagittarius) in a balanced, harmonious (Libra) way. This is a highly social aspect that implies support from others as you explore new possibilities.

However, note that the Sun does square Mars, so what you’re moving towards will have an edge. There may be some tension between actions and goals but the actions will not be 100% clear (Mars in Pisces can be diffused). As you step into the unknown country, use the tension to motivate you, but move with caution.

This energy will lead to December 7th’s New Moon in Sagittarius (stay tuned for a separate post on this).

Mercury, Venus and Chiron

Mercury Rx’s recent return to Scorpio is marked by a tense inconjunct with Uranus Rx. The hidden, uncomfortable or intimate information that you’re reviewing/researching will involve a jarring truth or reveal. But the disruption will have to be adjusted with deeper information that will need to remain private or unspoken. This is a tricky aspect that will be repeated on December 11th (when Mercury is direct) so you’re only on the first step.

Meanwhile, Venus re-enters Scorpio for the first time since September 9th. Venus back into Scorpio, post-retrograde, indicates that you are ready to complete the journey that began on September 9th- a complete immersion in a relationship, financial or self-esteem issue. Venus Rx pushed you to re-evaluate, but that process is over. Now you move forward with the knowledge you’ve gained (you know what you have and what you deserve).

Note that Mercury Rx is hitting the late degrees of Scorpio and Venus is activating the early degrees, so the full depth of an issue is being mined. Mercury Rx urges you to analyze and put it into words (even if those words are only in your head) while Venus asks you to move ahead with what you really want. In both cases (mind and heart) nothing will do but total honesty and an unblinking look at what lies beneath the surface (this can also refer to your recently discovered reservoirs of power).

Chiron and the North Node encourage you to deal with a wound/vulnerability. Harmony with the North Node means there should be a beneficial way through the discomfort, and it will involve acknowledging vulnerable feelings. But the process should feel natural and relatively painless. Is it time to forgive, move on or stop the sacrifice/self-flagellation? You’re not denying the wound or making it disappear, but you are finding a place (the North Node) where you can feel whole and safe.

December 1st, 2018: Mercury Rx Into Scorpio

by  •

  • Mercury Rx returns to Scorpio

  • Mercury Rx in Scorpio sextile Vesta in Capricorn (29 deg)

  • Vesta enters Aquarius

Mercury backs out of Sagittarius and returns to Scorpio, activating issues from October 30th (when it first exited Scorpio for Sag). Now as Mercury is retrograde, the questions that have been raised about the story, promise or big picture (Sagittarius) go a step deeper, to what lies beneath.

Mercury Rx in Scorpio is the transit for digging into secrets, peering into the shadows and obsessing about an obscure/taboo issue. This portion of Mercury’s Rx transit might take you to some dark places, but you’ll definitely learn ultimate truths.

Mercury/Vesta enhances this concentration (Vesta is about devotion and pure focus) on one issue. This may have first caught your attention around October 16th, when Mercury/Vesta connected by sextile at 9 deg Scorpio/Capricorn. Now, the matter has progressed (we’ve moved from the early to the final degree) and you may be peering intently at it as you drill into the heart of the issue.

What is demanding your full attention? Know that there’s more to uncover, but you’re almost done (Mercury stations direct on December 6th).

A few hours after this, Vesta moves into Aquarius. After the brief but intense period of concentration, the sign change suggests awareness of more detached, universal subjects. Vesta in Aquarius is about devotion to the group (in an abstract way) and/or the freedom to be you, no matter how far outside the lines this places you.

Keeping in mind that Vesta always involves limits (which create the sacred focus) this transit can light the fire of uncompromising freedom or it can enhance existing feelings of being an outcast. Consider the contrast between what you saw in Scorpio’s depths versus the clear light of Aquarius’ detachment.

Vesta will exit Aquarius for Pisces on February 1st, 2019.

November 21st, 2018: The Second Disruption

by  •

  • Sun in Scorpio inconjunct Uranus Rx in Aries (29 deg)

  • Mercury Rx in Sagittarius sextile Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (11 deg)

In the final degree of Scorpio, the Sun makes a jolting inconjunct to Uranus Rx. Change, liberation or a break from the past will shake things up and challenge a deeper sense of control or intimacy. The change may feel unwelcome (a threat to survival) but Uranus’ Rx status says that you’re revisiting this issue. It’s not new, and it’s high time for that final break.

But at the same time, deeper resources or privacy must be respected. The inconjunct means an adjustment to both sides, so as the Sun prepares to leave Scorpio, let go of what you can’t control (or what’s ready to leave) but know that you don’t have to toss everything out.

Mercury/BML connect in the second of three sextiles. Open-minded words or ideals support Lilith’s outcast energy. The dangerous woman has a voice, and her message is delivered in a way that others will be receptive to (the sextile is a harmonious aspect).

Taboo issues about women’s power and sexuality can be spoken of openly, but Mercury’s Rx status means revisiting the subject that was first broached on November 10th. Now, it’s time for questions, a review of the challenging story or a second request. Perhaps this subject matter was initially so unheard of that no one wanted to touch it (BML raises those uncomfortable issues about gender dynamics). Well, what was unheard of is now being repeated.

Altogether, today’s influences suggest going back to shake things up (again).

November 20th, 2018: Courage

  • Waxing Inconjunct between the Aries Moon and Scorpio Sun (28 deg)

  • Sun in Scorpio trine Chiron Rx in Pisces (28 deg)

  • Sun in Scorpio trine the Cancer North Node (28 deg)

The Waxing Inconjunct is a point of tension that reminds you there’s something new (Moon in Aries) to consider regarding an issue that’s almost complete. While it may feel more comfortable to keep something hidden or maintain that level of intensity, it’s time to add something more to the mix. Independent, external action or motivation may be needed. Or, you might have to respond to an external challenge.

Fortunately, the Scorpio Sun is part of a Grand Water Trine involving Chiron Rx (wounds, healing) in Pisces and the North Node (path forward) newly into Cancer. There should be a flow of energy that helps you deal with tension, and it will involve a new area of emotional expression or acknowledgement of authentic needs.

Note that the Aries Moon squares the South Node in Capricorn/North Node in Cancer, so that new development (which will demand courage) will be a key sticking point. You’ll have to act in order to progress to the place that feels real and nurturing. Follow the event or instinct that seems to be going there naturally – depth plus the acknowledgement of wounds can open up new emotional territory. It my seem a bit uncomfortable from a distance, but if you allow yourself to roll with it, you’ll see that this is where you’re meant to go.

As life continues to change and evolve, we’re put into our own individual position of either hanging on to what we know is stable – or to let go and flow (Pisces in Mars). To try and do both – to control AND and to surrender – would require intense juggling, as we would be challenged to […]

November 18th, 2018: Flow Forward

  • Waxing Trine between the Pisces Moon and Scorpio Sun (28 deg)

  • Venus in Libra inconjunct Juno Rx in Taurus (25 deg)

The Waxing Trine is a point of integration between transcendence and depth, transpersonal and intense involvement. With this flowing energy you should feel a natural “click” that allows you to move forward through a dark, consuming or powerful issue with a measure of calm. The Moon in Pisces is about allowing – what will be, will be. Notice the gentle release as events move as they are meant to, and you open yourself up to whatever comes next.

The Venus/Juno inconjunct is the third of three (September 1st and November 3rd being the first two). With this aspect, you have continually confronted a disconnect between set agreements about resources/security (Juno in Taurus) versus one partner’s desire for more equality or flexibility. Maybe one partner wanted more of a partnership while the other was content with things the way they were.

Now with this final confrontation, use the flow of the Waxing Trine to move forward. Intimacy is integrated with acceptance, and control is no longer an issue.
