When Words And Hearts Collide
Life shifts again, and some may have already experienced the persistent vibrations from the stubborn, but resourceful Taurus Full Moon along the finicky Venus/Uranus opposition on Saturday, November 4. Then time shifted again, as Daylight Saving Time ended – forcing clocks to be turned back one hour. So as we adjust to these recent changes, […]
Mercury’s Transit of Sagittarius and Mercury Rx

Mercury enters its opposite sign (Sagittarius) on November 5th. Details will be stretched across a wide canvas, and logic will be infused with belief and hope.
Mercury in Sag is the storyteller, preacher and salesperson. Words flow out in a excited rush, delivered with the zeal of higher knowledge. Everything sounds bigger and more convincing. Facts are less important than the overall sense of what’s being conveyed. This is excellent if you’re looking for fresh input, new contacts or inspiration. If you’ve been feeling locked in by depressing/restrictive information, this transit can be your open window.
What’s possible? Almost anything you can think of!
And there’s the rub. Because facts will be distorted. Important details will be overlooked, as Sagittarius is only concerned with the big picture (let’s worry about the little things later). Truth will become an issue. Do numbers and letters add up to the truth? You can’t overlook the cold, hard facts. But what about intuition and perspective?
Mercury Retrograde
What’s true and what’s exaggerated will take on added meaning when Mercury stations Rx at the very last degree of Sagittarius, on December 3rd. You’ll go all the way to the end, then it will be time to take a closer look at the narrative. Mercury Rx will review and ask the specific questions, picking apart (or proving) what you’ve placed your faith in. By the time Mercury stations direct, you should have a clear idea about what you can believe. And, you’ll be alerted to any important details that were glossed over in the rush to spin that story.
Note that Mercury will conjoin Saturn just before it stations Rx, soon after it stations Rx, and a couple of days after it enters Capricorn, at 2 degrees (not shown on the list below). Saturn will be all over this one, bringing the reality smackdown. This means you can explore the grand concepts and listen to the big promises, but you won’t be able to escape some undeniable truths. When in doubt, use Saturn as your guide – you may find that your intuition is aligned with Saturn, if you’re on the right track. Meaning, your sense of the rules and limits (how far you can go) will be bang on.
Here are the aspects Mercury in Sagittarius will make:

October 11th, 2017: Lilith Versus The Virgin

- Venus in Virgo inconjunct Uranus Rx in Aries: 26 degrees
- Venus in Virgo square Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius: 26 degrees
- Uranus Rx in Aries trine Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius: 26 degrees
- Mars in Virgo square Saturn in Sagittarius: 22 degrees
BML is agitating (in all her outcast glory) with an enabling trine to Uranus. This aspect encourages taboo and disruptive women’s issues – freedom for whatever makes the patriarchy and polite society uncomfortable.
And this energy will be at odds with polite society, due to the square between Venus and Lilith. Specifically, Virgo’s ultra-correct expression of female energy. Here is the clichéd good girl/bad girl dichotomy – Virgo’s purity versus Sagittarius’ wildness. And Uranus will make things difficult for poor Venus, as he jolts her with panicky reminders that this scenario is messy.
The above could manifest as an internal struggle: you’re stuck between the obligation to be “good” versus rabidly honest. Or, someone may play the Venus role, with you as Lilith (or vice versa). Both sides have merit. Venus asks why BML insists on ignoring certain facts in her lust to be recognized. Parts of the real story (the dry but important parts) may be glossed over. Lilith asks why Venus is so insanely critical, neurotic and repressive. Why is it unclean to break the rules?
Mars will be zero help. He’s locked in a battle with Saturn – restricted actions, repressed anger and oppressive responsibilities.
Overall, today’s vibe is clamped down and judgemental. Something/someone is struggling to come out, but there will be a host of rules, picky details and critiques to navigate. As oppressive as those rules and details will be, they cannot be ignored. There’s work (Mars/Saturn) to do, even if you want to rebel.
