December 19th, 2018: Sagittarius Sun Square Chiron

by  •

  • Sun in Sagittarius square Chiron in Pisces (27 deg)

The drive for expansion, truths, hope and exploration may be undercut today, as a painful square to Chiron reminds you of where you’re vulnerable. Fear of the unknown could be an issue, or perhaps the mere thought of being optimistic raises fears. What if you’re disappointed?

As always with Chiron, the best approach is to acknowledge what hurts. Before you can make any progress, it’s essential that you deal with this, and it’s not a new issue. Chiron was previously at this degree of Pisces around March 2018 and there was an applying square from Mars in Sag (exact on March 14th at 18 deg). Back then, actions (a leap of faith?) triggered doubts. Or perhaps you stumbled as you ventured into new territory. The bruise you received has not fully healed, and it’s an opportunity to learn more about where you place your faith and how you handle new experiences.

If the pain makes you question what you believe in, those are worthwhile questions – beliefs and future expansion must be able to stand up to crises. If they can’t, then it’s time to adjust your compass.

In general, travel, education, legal matters, publishing, exploration or ideals can be trouble areas today. Slow down and watch for a repeat of issues from March.

December 18th, 2018: Sagittarius Sun Inconjunct the North Node

  • Sun in Sagittarius inconjunct the Cancer North Node (27 deg)

Sagittarius is about exploring. The North Node marks the path forward. Both of these energies are about moving ahead and yet today they are incompatible. Sag wants to leap into something new and expansive while Cancer is about the development of inner needs and security.

You may feel the tension between wanting to surge ahead versus feeling uncomfortable. Both sides must be honoured (the new adventure and your feelings). When the Sun is at odds with the North Node, forward movement in general may be difficult, and yet it’s necessary. Step out but don’t ignore your needs while you do so. The entire point of the transiting North Node in Cancer is to tune into what you feel.

You can learn something new/broaden your horizons (Sagittarius) gradually, in a way that makes you comfortable (Cancer North Node). Align external truths with the inner truth that resonates in your gut.

December 17th, 2018: Day of Empowerment

  • Waxing Trine between the Aries Moon and Sagittarius Sun (26 deg)

  • Mars in Pisces sextile Pluto in Capricorn (20 deg)

  • Mars in Pisces sextile Juno Rx in Taurus (20 deg)

Aries courage and force blends with Sagittarius’ expansive outlook for a gutsy, optimistic vibe. This is the time to roll forward – there should be a path of least resistance and a natural flow of adventure that encourages you to go for it. Great for starting something that requires extra energy.

Fortunately, you’ve also got a Mars/Pluto sextle happening. Mars (ruler of Aries) is empowered by Pluto so there’s extra force behind those actions. But Mars in Pisces flows rather than pushes and – intuitive effort can make a huge impact. Try stepping back and watching what unfolds, then act on that, rather than trying to control events. Loosening your grip can actually intensify your efforts.

Mars also makes a sextile to Juno Rx so we know the above involves a relationship (business or personal) agreement. Right now it’s under review and Mars’ sextile activates energetic progress. You’re not just sitting and pondering the terms of the agreement, you and another are taking action to revise it.

Note that Juno will trine Pluto two times:

  • Dec 23rd (Juno Rx)

  • Dec 31st (Juno direct)

Juno/Pluto is the profound commitment that harmonizes with slow change and empowers both parties as it evolves. The process has started now (the trine is within orb) and the Mars sextile suggests following the route of intuitive action to make it happen. Don’t force it – go with what’s unfolding and drift forward. It may not seem like you’re making progress but trust that you are.

Agreements that are in the works today can see lucrative, constructive developments.

December 5th, 2018: Tensions to Consider

  • Sagittarius Sun square Neptune in Pisces (13 deg)

  • Venus in Scorpio square Vesta in Aquarius (2 deg)

Sun/Neptune is a harbinger of the December 7th New Moon. A square is a crisis aspect, and here we have a crisis between future opportunities/truth (Sun in Sag) versus the dream/lie/wish (Neptune). The overall energy is that of expansion, as Neptune dissolves limits and Sag wants to keep exploring, but the direction will be the issue.

What are you moving towards? How do expectations and truth align? There is a strong escapist vibe here, so make sure that you’re putting your faith in something that’s about elevation rather than avoidance.

Venus/Vesta triggers tension between a deep want/craving (involving relationships, money or values) versus a detached focus on the bigger picture. There’s something different to consider, and the contrast with an area of obsession (or a fixed desire) can make you aware of what needs to change and what needs to remain private or protected.

November 27th, 2018: Hopeful Progress

  • Waning Trine between the Leo Moon and Sagittarius Sun (5 deg)

  • Sun conjunct Mercury Rx in Sagittarius (5 deg)

  • Mercury Rx conjunct Jupiter (4 deg)

  • Vesta conjunct the Capricorn South Node (28 deg)

Waning Trine

The Waning Trine allows you to share your talents or a creation that you’re proud of. Something special can be displayed or communicated, and others will be receptive. The energy is hopeful, forward-looking and vibrant.

This will involve the Sun/Mercury Rx conjunction (with Jupiter) which marks the midpoint of the Mercury’s retrograde (since Nov 16th) – here is a point of clarity that involves a reward or greater wisdom. Mercury Rx’s delays and reviews can deliver some benefits or open your eyes to something better. And this is what you’ll be sharing with others, or they will be sharing with you.

If you’ve been waiting for an answer or hint about what you’re supposed to do next, this could be it. Keep in mind that Mercury is still Rx, so the process is not complete. But this should mark a positive turning point.

Vesta

Vesta/South Node hi-lights a point of exclusive focus (or obsession). This could be something from the past, or an issue that’s ready to be developed further. It may involve rules, limits, traditions or authority. Now is the moment to finish it and move on – you can either stop focusing on it or see the results of what you’ve been devoting your energy to.

November 26th, 2018: Sun/Jupiter and Mercury Square Mars

by  •

  • Sagittarius Sun conjunct Jupiter (3 deg)

  • Mercury Rx in Sagittarius square Mars in Pisces (6 deg)

An enthusiastic day with Sun/Jupiter energizing new possibilities, ideals and hope. This is the big promise or the reason to have faith. The “why not” moment. Adding to this, Mercury in Sag makes an energetic square to Mars, encouraging forceful communication and action-driven words.

However, note that Mercury is Rx, so this will not be the final word. And Mars in Pisces can be vague as actions slide off in unexpected directions. This aspect is best used to energize a review, question or second look at a previous issue. Sun/Jupiter will encourage you to reach further, but Mercury Rx/Mars can see you distracted by an old issue that turns into an argument or frustrating search.

Focus may be scattered, as new and old possibilities vie for your attention.

Remind yourself that the story is not complete, and you can’t force anything (especially your ideas of right and wrong).

Sagittarius Season With Jupiter

by  •

Jehan Georges Vibert

Sagittarius season begins today (Nov 22nd) with the Sun’s ingress at 4:01 AM EST.

This is the season of hope, distant horizons, possibilities and expansion. And of course, this year Sagittarius will juiced up by the presence of Jupiter, at home in his sign. Jupiter will amplify Sag energy in general. Expect more enthusiasm, more opportunities and more optimistic beliefs (whether or not they’re realistic).

Sun Sagittarians with birthdays between November 22nd and November 26th/27th will benefit from a Sun/Jupiter conjunction. This energy will be part of your Solar Return year, which means some area of your life will be bursting with “more” – what can you do with this gift? Jupiter brings something/someone new that is (usually) beneficial. While Jupiter has been known to expand negative potentials, it’s really hard to go wrong with a Sun/Jupiter conjunction. That’s pure power, confidence and faith in the next big thing.

Jupiter is also about wisdom, so this Sag season could trigger new insight and knowledge. Keep your eyes and ears open.

Even if you don’t get this conjunction on your birthday (or if you’re not a Sun Sag) you can still do something with it (see the list below for exact date and degree). The Sun will illuminate the Sagittarius area in your chart and there could be a spot of luck, assistance, growth or a gift. Yes, Jupiter can brings gifts: you don’t have to work to earn Jupiter rewards, although if you want to make the most of them it’s always helpful to do more with what you’re given.

Or, maybe you want to celebrate. Sun/Jupiter can also mean massive enjoyment and sometimes you just want to enjoy what life has to offer.

Here are the aspects the Sagittarius Sun will make:

  • Nov 23rd: Full Moon (0 deg Gemini)

  • Nov 26th: conjunct Jupiter (3 deg)

  • Nov 27th: conjunct Mercury Rx (5 deg)

  • Dec 2nd: square Mars in Pisces (10 deg)

  • Dec 4th: sextile Pallas in Libra (12 deg)

  • Dec 5th: sextile Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (13 deg)

  • Dec 5th: square Neptune in Pisces (13 deg)

  • Dec 7th: New Moon (15 deg)

  • Dec 12th: inconjunct Juno Rx in Taurus (20 deg)

  • Dec 18th: inconjunct Cancer North Node (27 deg)

  • Dec 19th: square Chiron in Pisces (27 deg)

  • Dec 20th: trine Uranus Rx in Aries (28 deg)

  • Dec 21st: Capricorn ingress
