Hi Elsa, I have difficulty understanding what an 8th house person is or a Pluto person is. From what I understand if you are either of the above, people have a good/bad reaction to you. If a person has a … Read More…

Astrology of Now: Authenticity, Integrity, Valour
We are just six days into the Venus Retrograde in Scorpio –– and already you may have faced a situation that tested your integrity, questioned your authenticity or required emotional courage. Each of us is likely to be challenged during this retrograde (Oct 10-Oct 31/Nov 1) in Scorpio; Oct 31/Nov 1-Nov 16 in Libra) – and the right thing to do is to be your authentic self. This is about stripping back to the essence. People may take action motivated by jealousy or revenge, of course, but just as likely they may simply have different values from you, or even […]

October 11th, 2018: Powerful Information
Photo by Úrsula Madariaga from Pexels
Mercury in Scorpio square the Nodes in Leo/Aquarius (2 deg)
Pluto in Capricorn trine Pallas in Virgo (18 deg)
Mercury squaring the Nodes suggests a key messenger or message. This piece of intel, conversation or realization will emerge from the depths and put you on notice that it’s time to step away from the past and move forward.
The Aquarius South Node represents an issue whose time has come. You’ve been here before, perhaps dealing with alienation, detachment or trauma. Mercury has something to tell you about this and it may involve a deeply honest look at what you didn’t want to admit. But it’s also your solution – here are the facts that can help you step into the light towards a place of pride, creativity, joy and appreciation for who you are (Leo North Node).
What can also help…Pluto/Pallas presents sharp strategies that are quiet but incredibly effective. Pallas in Virgo is about practical details/patterns that work and Pluto (ruler of Scorpio) intensifies them. Here is a solution that’s not dramatic, but it’s solid and very, very powerful. This is the plan that cuts through the extras – it’s clean, lean and every detail has an impact.
October 10th, 2018: Scorpio Challenged
Mercury in Scorpio opposite Uranus Rx in Taurus (1 deg)
Venus Rx in Scorpio square Mars in Aquarius (10 deg)
Mercury/Uranus
Uranus is the flash of light that illuminates Mercury in the darkness (Scorpio). There may be a sudden blast of truth, an abrupt goodbye (oppositions are endings or results) or an unexpected reveal of hidden information.
The opposition suggests an external source, and because of Scorpio’s depth, the actual result will reverberate on a profound level. It may be challenging to receive this information (or maybe you’re the one dishing out the extreme truths) because it won’t be easily received. Keep this in mind if you’re speaking/writing. If you’re on the receiving end, sit with what you’ve learned and consider it a rare chance to really see what’s going on down there.
Venus/Mars
Venus Rx/Mars can be motivating, pushy or sexy. Maybe all three. Venus Rx in Scorpio is intensely internal while Mars in Aquarius is detached actions. Mars wants but is pushing a bit too hard for Venus, even though under some circumstances this can indicate hot chemistry.
Venus Rx means that the crisis (square) of discordant actions will trigger even deeper awareness regarding money, values or relationships. But that also means that the Venus subject (a person or desired goal) will probably not be receptive to Mars. Expect delays and re-evaluations. Someone/something may withdraw even further.
Scorpio is getting hammered today by some harsh Uranus/Aquarius action. Scorpio does not like to have reveals forced on it (this sign like to do the revealing) but that’s exactly what this energy will do. So be prepared for more to come out at a much faster pace than you’re comfortable with.
Now it’s out there. What will you do?
Mercury’s Transit of Scorpio and Mercury Retrograde
Photo by Rakicevic Nenad from Pexels
Mercury enters Scorpio on October 9th, opening our eyes to what lies in the shadows. This transit is about intimate discussions with a raw edge, the reveal of secrets, clandestine research and peering into the dark side. Mercury in Scorpio may be a less vocal transit, but silence can have a huge impact.
This energy is about making sense of what’s taboo or uncomfortable. There’s a need to understand all the dark things, because knowledge is power for Scorpio. And ultimately, Scorpio is a sign of power, survival and evolution.
Any information that is written or vocalized will not be superficial. Words will be chosen carefully and will have weight – this is your transit if you want to uncover secrets or deliver a message with maximum impact. Talk less, pay attention to what’s going on behind the scenes and don’t be afraid of what you don’t want to know.
Mercury Retrograde
Mercury will station Rx in Sagittarius on November 16th and will re-enter Scorpio on December 1st. From December 1st, 2018 to December 6th, 2018 Mercury will be Rx in Scorpio, which will push you to look even more deeply at what’s hidden or uncomfortable. This will be a brief but profound retrograde in Scorpio, suggesting the reveal of a key taboo, secret or soul truth. Mercury will station direct on December 6th, finally exiting Scorpio on December 12th.
Mercury Rx from Sagittarius to Scorpio suggests looking more closely at what lies beneath the story or new opportunity. The truth behind the truth.

Oct 10th: opposite Uranus Rx in Taurus (1 deg)
Oct 10th: inconjunct Juno (0 deg Gemini)

Astrology of Now: Venus Down To The Bone
Every eight years, Venus, the planet of harmony and beauty takes a prolonged trip into the Underworld of Scorpio, where everything she stands for — from money to social skills to femininity — comes into question. As she goes deeper, she leaves behind her jewels, her silks, her satin slippers, her smile, her silver laughter – until she is down to muscle and bone, gracile and strong. But there’s more to this retrograde than a trip down below – and this is critical. After weeks in Scorpio, she goes back even further into her own sign Libra, where she will […]

Venus Stations Retrograde in Scorpio

Venus stations Rx at 10 deg Scorpio
Venus retrograde is submersion regarding money, self-esteem, relationships and personal values. Delays, reviews and intensification (cravings, jealousy, obsession) are all ways that Venus Rx can urge you to take an honest look at what you really want. A compelling reconnection with someone is unfinished business for sure, but the main theme is what this means for your values.
Venus Rx in Scorpio activates the Taurus side of Venus, so the deeper you go (or the closer you get to someone) the more you’ll be looking at your personal values. How does what’s happening line up with what you’re really worth? What value do you place on yourself when things become intense? How do you survive in the depths?
You won’t be able to ignore taboos, secrets or unpleasant truths – these things are Scorpio’s fuel. You may be surprised at how far you’re willing to go and what this tells you about the value you place on yourself.
See this post for a more detailed look at Venus’ transit of Scorpio.
Venus will station direct at 25 deg Libra, so 10 to 0 deg of the Fixed signs and 29 to 25 deg of the Cardinal signs will be directly in the path of this retrograde.
