  • Waning Inconjunct between the Gemini Moon and Scorpio Sun (3 deg)

  • Sun in Scorpio conjunct Venus Rx (3 deg)

The Waning Inconjunct adds more information to the results of the October 24th Full Moon. Additional questions, facts or choices may pop up and you’ll have to consider them. This will involve the Sun/Venus Rx conjunction, a new chapter in the Sun/Venus cycle. Here is a point of illumination regarding a relationship/money/self-esteem issue you’ve been reviewing since Venus stationed Rx (October 5th). The Sun/Venus cycle itself goes back to the last conjunction, on January 9th, 2018 at 18 deg Capricorn.

The start of this new chapter will be marked by awkward or inconvenient questions, but they will be an unavoidable symptom of Scorpio’s deep dive and reevaluation. And, the questions will be part of the entrance into a different chapter or era – can you feel that you’re starting something new? Venus is still Rx, but the energy has shifted.

Taurus Full Moon: Good Grief

by  • 

I had a moment last week, not one of my clearer ones, even though it yielded some good, profound realizations. I had been interacting with a lot of people in grief energy, which I in turn thought was mine, which is always tricky. So, for some time, I went deep into the energy of grief. […]

October 23rd: Scorpio Season

by  •

The Sun enters Scorpio on October 23rd (7:22 AM EDT). Now we arrive at the season of darkness, intensity, obscurity and truth.

In order to get to the Scorpio gold (which is raw truth and courageous intimacy) you have to go deep- you have to face the taboos, the secrets, the ugly stuff. You have to experience and accept powerlessness, and through this, gain an understanding of your own power. Often what’s revealed is not pleasant, so “gold” may not seem like an appropriate word. But the highest version of this energy is pure intimacy (complete merging with another) and/or the absolute knowledge of your own Shadow. When you face down your demons, there’s nothing left to undermine you.

Scorpio energy can be vicious and destructive when misused. Or, it can be profoundly loyal and completely accepting of what terrifies and repels other people. It’s never superficial. It is associated with death, but often it’s a metaphorical death – the complete ending that must happen before you can transform yourself and your situation. Then, you rise up stronger than before.

This is the season to get real, but not in the same way as the Earth signs. Scorpio-real is profound emotional honesty, which includes all the messy, passionate “too much/too heavy” feelings.

Today’s Transits

  • Sun in Scorpio opposite Uranus Rx in Taurus:0 deg

  • Sun in Scorpio inconjunct Juno Rx in Gemini: 0 deg

I’ve combined today’s daily transit post with the Scorpio ingress, because they are directly connected.

Today’s opposition to Uranus Rx in Taurus will define this Scorpio season because it’s the first major aspect and occurs on the ingress. The bolt of Uranian clarity will manifest as disruption for some (disruption of power or secrets) and complete realization for others (the deepest “a ha”). The opposition can be a result, ending or delivery from an external source. Whether it’s a dark suprise or light illuminating the gloom, know that it will be the truth.

The October 24th Full Moon will carry this forward.

If you want to know more about Uranus’ transit of Taurus and how it might apply to you, I’ve written a downloadable PDF that you can purchase, here.

Also, the Sun makes an inconjunct to Juno Rx in Gemini, so a sub-theme to this reveal may be a glitch in the details of a new relationship agreement. The necessity to look behind the scenes for answers (or intimacy) will have to be adjusted with certain facts- there’s an incompatibility here involving truth and intimacy.

Interestingly, the Scorpio Sun will aspect Uranus and Juno Rx again towards the end of Scorpio season (see the list below) but this time the inconjunct will be to Uranus Rx in Aries and the Sun will oppose Juno Rx in Taurus. Now, the Sun’s dark spotlight will illuminate what lies beneath surface security (and rigid habits) of a relationship, and this will have to be adjusted with an agitation for freedom. Note that Uranus and Juno are both Rx, so these issues will not be new.

Overall, this Scorpio season seems to be about the truth behind an agreement/contract you’ve made. You’ll look at it from multiple angles. Remember that Scorpio starts out with secrets and obscured (occult) information, but if you dig deep enough (and you’re brave enough) you’ll arrive at the truth.

Here are the aspects the Sun in Scorpio will make:

  • Oct 23rd: opposition to Uranus Rx in Taurus (1 deg)

  • Oct 23rd: inconjunct Juno Rx in Gemini (0 deg)

  • Oct 24th: square the Leo/Aquarius Nodes (1 deg)

  • Oct 26th: conjunct Venus Rx (3 deg)

  • Oct 27th: sextile Saturn in Capricorn (4 deg)

  • Nov 2nd: square Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (9 deg)

  • Nov 6th: trine Neptune Rx in Pisces (13 deg)

  • Nov 7th: New Moon (15 deg Scorpio)

  • Nov 11th: sextile Pluto in Capricorn (19 deg)

  • Nov 14th: sextile Vesta in Capricorn (22 deg)

  • Nov 17th: opposite Juno Rx in Taurus (25 deg)

  • Nov 20th: trine Chiron Rx in Pisces (28 deg)

  • Nov 20th: trine the North Node in Cancer (28 deg)

  • Nov 21st: inconjunct Uranus Rx in Aries (29 deg)

  • Nov 22nd: Sagittarius ingress

Fear Of The Dark

by  • 

Hi friends! We’re still being led into an overwhelming amount of darkness as powerful Sun leaves harmonizing Libra on Tuesday, October 23, to join Mercury, Venus and Jupiter in the transformative realm of Scorpio. During the next four weeks, some of us will be quite fixed and comfortable in the darkness with our ‘big’ little […]

October 22nd, 2018: Gentle Truths

by  •

  • Waxing Inconjunct between the Pisces Moon and Libra Sun (28 deg)

  • Moon conjunct Chiron Rx in Pisces (28 deg)

  • Sun in Libra inconjunct Chiron Rx in Pisces (28 deg)

  • Mercury in Scorpio sextile Pluto in Capricorn (18 deg)

The Waxing Inconjunct will hi-light something that needs to be acknowledged before the October 24th Taurus Full Moon.

The Sun’s inconjunct to Chiron Rx is part of this – while the Pisces Moon/Chiron conjunction will encourage immersion (no boundaries) in what feels sensitive, this immersion will need to be balanced (Libra) with the awareness of others (Libra is the relationship sign). Empathy will be key – what are they going through? You may find some common ground.

As I wrote in yesterday’s post, this is a “poignant and peaceful” energy, and the Libra influence certainly doesn’t indicate disruption. But consider if what you’re feeling connects you to someone else. There may be a wound or embarrassment that specifically involves one-on-one relationships.

Mercury/Pluto encourages the exploration of intensive (Scorpio) truths in an non-invasive way. Words will have an impact, but they can be spoken gently because the sextile is soft aspect. Information can be uncovered and it doesn’t have to be earth-shattering. Overall, today’s vibe is compassionate and honest.

October 19th, 2018: What’s Meant To Happen

  • Waxing Trine between the Aquarius Moon and Libra Sun (26 deg)

  • Mercury in Scorpio trine Neptune Rx in Pisces (14 deg)

  • Mercury in Scorpio square Mars in Aquarius (14 deg)

Waxing Trine

The Waxing Trine indicates a natural flow between partnership and independence, one-on-one and the group. All the social angles are covered, making it easy to connect with others on various levels. The catch is that you have to keep it light – the Air signs call for detachment and intellectual connections. Overall, this trine has a lively vibe that that enables the progress of any type of relationship.

Mercury

Despite the flow of the trine, Mercury’s square to Mars does suggest that communication will be tense. The urge to dig deep for answers (and this can be rooted in the desire to control by knowing all the “secrets”) will clash with actions that demand freedom. There may be tension between wanting to step back versus wanting to know more. The result can be angry words and forceful demands.

The Neptune/Mercury trine can help. If you encounter pressure to reveal more than you’re comfortable with, or you’re the one applying the pressure, take a deep breath, exhale and let go. Accept that you can’t force the words or knowledge – some things aren’t meant to be known, and you don’t have to open up if you don’t want to. Neptune encourages release, forgiveness and its own brand of detachment via transcendence. What you need to know will come to you, as will the right words.

The common theme today is the trine – natural flow. There is no need to force anything, because what’s meant to unfold will do so without effort.
