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

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

by  •

Dante Gabriel Rossetti

  • 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 17th, 2018: Sun Opposite Juno Rx in Taurus

  • Sun in Scorpio opposite Juno Rx in Taurus (25 deg)

Juno Rx in Taurus is a review of the essentials in a relationship agreement – the security basics, the desire for stability, the money. When the Sun opposes Juno Rx, we see a possible ending or result brought on by that review. The Sun will illuminate a key issue from the depths of Scorpio (the stuff beneath the surface) and since Juno has been Rx in Taurus since October 24th, part of the agreement/contract is ready to be unearthed.

Taurus is the secure foundation and routine. Scorpio is the depths and the death/rebirth of that routine. Today we dig into the heart of a relationship contract and see what’s really there.

  • Sun in Scorpio sextile Vesta in Capricorn (22 deg)

Sun in Scorpio’s depth is gently enhanced with a sextile to Vesta. Vesta’s focus is applied to an already intense issue, with just a touch of emphasis. Think if this as a gentle nudge to look a bit deeper or consider one more layer.

Focus on or devotion to a particular subject should come naturally and easily – nothing will be forced on you. Good for all matters of exclusive concentration.

Eight Things To Do While The Sun is in Scorpio

by  • 

It’s Scorpio time again — the “fixed” period of autumn. Fixed water: ice. Which says quite a bit about Scorpio itself, because ice is, of course, both beautiful and dangerous, delicious and special, wet and hard. Think about that…. Here are a few things you can do to get into the spirit of the season. Scare yourself silly in the library. That means either rewatching Buffy or picking up a copy of Dracula — still one of the scariest books I have ever read. Become a detective. In the North, the trees are shedding their leaves now, revealing what lies […]

October 27th, 2018: Heavy But Manageable

  • Sun in Scorpio sextile Saturn in Capricorn (4 deg)

A rather serious vibe today, but not too harsh. Scorpio’s depth is solidified by Saturn – if you’re on some kind of descent, you will only go so far (as far as you need to go). There’s a duty here, or a confirmation. It won’t be joyous and it may feel a bit heavy, but it will be quite manageable.

The sextile is a gentle aspect that promises integration of depth/profound change/transformation with rules and boundaries.

Do what you need to do and know that the path will be laid out for you.

October 26th, 2018: New Chapter

  • 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.
