  • Venus in Gemini inconjunct the Capricorn South Node (17 deg)

  • Venus in Gemini inconjunct Saturn Rx in Capricorn (18 deg)

  • Venus in Gemini opposite Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (17 deg)

  • Uranus in Taurus conjunct Vesta (5 deg)

  • Uranus and Vesta sextile Black Moon Lilith in Pisces ( 5 deg)

Venus

Venus/Jupiter can exaggerate what you want – there may appear to be more choices regarding a financial, relationship or value issue. And they will be exuberant and tempting. But some of those choices will be unwise, as Jupiter retrograde asks you to review before you say “yes.” And Venus’ inconjuncts to the South Node and Saturn Rx insist that a rule/limit from the past will narrow your choices. So really, you may only have one, viable option. The brakes will be applied and that issue from the past will not be ignored.

Uranus

Uranus/Vesta adds urgency to an area of focus. Vesta is the ultimate focus/sacred flame, and Uranus suggests a sudden shot of devotion; an all-or-nothing, extreme jolt that clarifies what has the most value (Taurus). This will include old values/resources/habits being blown away.

The sextile to BML suggests this will involve some taboo, possibly magical/transcendent expressions of female energy. One of Lilith’s manifestations is the witch, and this is emphasized in Pisces, the sign that lies beyond reality. Here we have a wake-up call about what/who is essential, even if she’s “forbidden.”

Vesta is purity and BML is dark, raw sexuality (the prostitute, the other woman, the woman who belongs to no one). When they harmonize, what’s socially forbidden becomes a path to personal enlightenment and discipline (Vesta is untouchable in her own way – she also belongs to no one but herself).

Add Uranus’s liberation, and you have a whole new set of values and security at your fingertips.

Summary

So, if we consider Uranus/Vesta/BML and the aspects to Venus (also female energy and the ruler of Taurus) a picture emerges- you’re questioning what sounds/looks good regarding love and values. Is it hollow? At the same time, there’s one, undeniable choice. You’re not stuck in the past, but you are paying attention to what came before so you don’t make the same mistakes. Or maybe there’s an ongoing responsibility/tradition that still has value.

Either way, Uranus/Vesta in Taurus insists that part of this is about devoting yourself to a new goddess – a new expression of female energy/values (whether you’re a man or woman) who cracks the Saturn whip.

February 17th, 2019: Awkward Feelings

by  •

  • Waxing Inconjunct between the Cancer Moon and Aquarius Sun (28 deg)

  • Venus in Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces (15 deg)

The Waxing Inconjunct presents a difficult adjustment between objective Aquarius and subjective Cancer. Emotions will interfere with detachment, disrupting a cool vibe. But the messy, uncomfortable mood should not be ignored – pay attention to where you’re vulnerable or insecure. These awkward feelings need to be attended to (before you can move forward). If you can still maintain a bit of objectivity, even better.

Venus activates the first part of the Saturn/Neptune sextile. She will conjoin Saturn tomorrow, but today is a gentle reminder that there’s more to what you want than rules, status or work. Remembering that Saturn/Neptune is about making a small sacrifice in order to manifest (Saturn) a dream (Neptune) today’s aspect can gently widen your awareness. Tune into the compassionate or spiritual undertones in a material issue or formal commitment.

February 15th, 2019: Keep The Path in Sight

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

  • Sun in Aquarius inconjunct the Cancer North Node/Moon in Gemini inconjunct the Capricorn South Node (26 deg)

The Waxing Trine promises smooth progress and integration between new facts/communication and the group. Social media is favoured as a tool. This is an easy influence that supports the exchange of fresh ideas and innovation with everyone. Info can move quickly and words will be sharp, witty and unique.

However, the Sun and Moon make inconjuncts (aspects of incompatibility) to the North and South Nodes respectively. This means new information/choices may interfere with the path that takes you from old rules/limits/repression to a more sensitive, feeling place.

Detachment and social media can distance you so much that you lose sight of what matters emotionally. And yet, with the inconjunct, you need to work both sides. So the flow of ideas is still important as long as you don’t allow this to distract you from your path: honouring your needs and learning where it’s safe to be vulnerable.

February 8th, 2019: A Day of Disconnects

  • Mercury in Aquarius inconjunct North Node in Cancer (26 deg)

  • Pallas in Libra inconjunct Juno in Taurus (29 deg)

An awkward day with a couple of inconjuncts (aspects of incompatibility). The key with this aspect is to adjust both sides so they can work together.

Mercury in Aquarius is innovative or odd ideas (of the future) and the Cancer North Node (path forward) is about developing a new area of comfort and emotional vulnerability. But the unusual information presented by Mercury will feel jarring and may distract you from the place ahead where you can feel safe.

Solution: use edgy (and detached) ideas to drive you forward but don’t ignore core feelings. Respect your needs while being honest.

Pallas/Juno highlights the disconnect between Venus-ruled Libra and Taurus. Pallas in Libra’s strategies reflect another or are focused on being polite/liked/loved. Juno in Taurus is the relationship agreement that is about stability and self-preservation at all costs. Libra is the other and Taurus is personal survival. Here we have social strategies that clash with a set relationship commitment.

Solution: remember that it takes two but don’t sacrifice core values and security.

October 9th, 2018: Mercury in Libra Inconjunct Chiron

  • Mercury in Libra inconjunct Chiron Rx in Pisces (29 deg)

Mercury’s inconjunct, before it plunges into Scorpio this evening, suggests an awkward conversation or observation. The social facade will be disrupted – attempts to gloss over Chiron’s pain, embarrassment or discomfort will miss the point. This is not something you should avoid.

Mercury in Libra does demand some social finesse; you can still be gracious. But there’s no use pretending that everything’s ok, because your attention has just been drawn to a repeat (Rx) wound.

And how fortuitous that Mercury will be entering the sign of darkness and profound honesty after this aspect. This does suggest that Chiron’s wound is only the tip of the iceberg. As you move forward you’ll see and hear much more. Use this moment to recognize what’s wrong, then be prepared to go deeper (investigate or do some intense inner work).

September 30th, 2018: Fact, Fantasy and Pluto Direct

  • Mercury in Libra inconjunct Neptune Rx in Pisces (14 deg)

  • Pluto stations direct in Capricorn (18 deg)

Fact and Fantasy

Mercury/Neptune is the disconnect between fact and fantasy. Mercury in Libra puts this in the context of one-on-one discussions or projected ideas. What you hear may be different from what’s being said, and what you say may be misinterpreted. But, the issue that’s blurring the facts cannot be ignored, because there’s something that’s amplifying sensitivity – alternate messages are leaking in. What’s responsible for the crossed signals? Make room for what you suspect but don’t allow it undermine you.

Pluto Direct

Pluto forges ahead, continuing its agenda of deconstruction and death of the old order. If you have anything around 18 degrees of the Cardinal signs, Pluto is done (or will be within the next month). That transformation is complete. 19 deg will be hit by Pluto from roughly November to December 2018, and then Pluto will also be done with that degree.

The next Pluto Rx will cover 23 to 20 deg Capricorn, so this is the upcoming zone of intensification (from April to October 2019). In the meantime, Pluto direct can initiate a loss, empowerment or total overhaul in your life.

Note that (for the first time) Pluto will hit 22 deg Capricorn around March 2019. This is the degree of the Saturn/Pluto conjunction (Jan 12th, 2020). It will be a massive new beginning involving power and authority (I’ve written a PDF about it if you’re interested). March 2019 may deliver some early hints about what’s to come, especially if you have anything in the Cardinal or Earth signs at this deg.
