November 21st, 2018: The Second Disruption

  • 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  •

  • 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.

Heart Connections | Astrology Horoscope

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.

November 14th, 2018: Scorpio Sun Sextile Vesta

  • 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.

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 […]
