February 18th, 2019: Today’s Reality (Chiron Enters Aries)

  • Venus conjunct Saturn in Capricorn (16 deg)

  • Chiron enters Aries (4:07 am EST)

  • Pallas stations Rx in Libra (29 deg)

Venus/Saturn

Continuing yesterday’s activation of the Saturn/Neptune sextile, Venus conjunct Saturn defines what you have and what you can’t have. Here is the reality of a commitment, restriction or responsibility involving relationships, finances, self-esteem or values. Saturn makes it real and (in combination with Neptune) can also define what you have to give up in order to get what you want. Or, perhaps what you have to give up, period.

Venus/Saturn is the dividing line – the new beginning that separates past from present. This is permanent and official. Make it so.

Chiron into Aries

Chiron returns to Aries for the long haul (it won’t be completely done with this sign until April 2027). For details and dates on this transit, check this post.

Chiron’s return will reactivate issues from its first Aries ingress (April 17th, 2018) but now you’ll be pressing forward with the battle. There’s no turning back. Are you ready to fight with vulnerability as your banner? It’s interesting that the Venus/Saturn conjunction happens on this same day because it really does emphasize that hard line between past and present.

But we also have the Sun’s Pisces ingress today, so there’s a reminder that compassion and forgiveness are important. Be gentle with yourself, even as you step into the fray.

Pallas Rx

Pallas reaches the final degree of Venus-ruled Libra, then she stations Rx. The social or relationship strategy that you thought was complete needs a review. You’ll have to rethink how you relate to others, and the connection to Venus/Saturn is important – there’s a clear reality or rule that means you have to reassess your approach.

Pallas will station direct on May 30th (10 deg Libra) and will exit Libra for Scorpio on August 26th.

February 13th, 2019: Burning

  • Mercury in Pisces square Ceres in Sagittarius (5 deg)

  • Mercury in Pisces conjunct Vesta (5 deg)

  • Mars in Aries conjunct Uranus (29 deg)

  • Mars in Aries opposite Pallas in Libra (29 deg)

Mercury/Vesta

The Mercury/Vesta conjunction activates yesterday’s Vesta/Ceres square.

“Vesta in Pisces wants to withdraw and contemplate while Ceres in Sag wants to overwhelm with expansive care and protection. Vesta in Pisces is pure and spiritual (or magical) while Ceres in Sag can trample over sensitivities in the rush to nurture (and the rush to do what’s best).”

Mercury/Vesta indicates absolute focus on a spiritual idea or a dream – gazing at what can’t be fully seen or devoting yourself to a compassionate/ethereal concept. Meditating on the whisper. The square to Ceres suggests this information will clash with expansive (and loud) attempts at nurturing. Someone may be saying “No” to caring efforts or disagreeing with a philosophy of mothering. Basically, yesterday’s tension is put into words as the quiet voice disagrees with the bold proclamation of nurturing.

Mars/Uranus

The Mars/Uranus conjunction in the final degree of Aries indicates a last chance to break away, fight or escape. This volatile energy demands freedom to act but it’s easy to get carried away and take unwise risks.

Something needs to end (or be ignited) but remember that this energy can be accident-prone if mishandled. Impulse control is nonexistent. The opposition to Pallas suggests sudden actions will disrupt a social or relationship strategy. There may be impatience with the polite approach or a powerful desire to burn through the niceties and assert the truth/your will.

There’s potential for positive and negative here. Much depends on what’s being burnt away. Carefully consider what you’re asserting and why. Is it really necessary to burn that bridge? It might be, but know that what you set fire to will be gone for good – even if you’re igniting a new beginning, the fuel will be artifacts from the past.

Combined with Mercury/Vesta’s focus, we have an interesting mix of hot and cool. Calm and agitated. Actions are incendiary but thoughts and words can help you see beyond the heat or anger. Pay attention to the quiet voice – what’s it saying?

February 10th, 2019: Move Forward and Keep Talking

  • Waxing Sextile between the Aries Moon and Aquarius Sun (21 deg)

  • Mercury in Aquarius square Juno in Taurus (29 deg)

  • Juno enters Gemini

The Waxing Sextile encourages you to start something new. It’s time to step into uncharted territory or break a couple of rules, but no one is going to push you. The opportunity is there and it may seem inconsequential, but don’t overlook it. Take one step forward and recognize how natural it feels.

This step forward can help you deal with the Mercury/Juno square. Mercury’s unconventional ideas/words will clash with Juno’s fixed partnership agreement. One person may be ready for something new while the other person wants things to remain as they are.

Well, it’s time for change and this is illustrated by Juno’s Gemini ingress, a few hours after this square. Juno into Gemini indicates that agreements and commitments can become more flexible as multiple options unfold. There’s more than one way to commit and open communication (Gemini is ruled by Mercury) will be key.

However, the tension with Mercury will continue as it enters Pisces on this day and (due to its Rx) repeats the square with Juno on March 24th and April 14th. More choices indicate that there’s more to discuss, but also more to disagree about. Accept that this will be an ongoing issue until April and be prepared to keep talking.

February 7th, 2019: No Going Back

  • Sun in Aquarius sextile Jupiter in Sagittarius (18 deg)

  • Mercury in Aquarius sextile Mars in Aries (25 deg)

  • Uranus in Aries opposite Pallas in Libra (29 deg)

Sun/Jupiter delivers buoyant energy that encourages you to have faith in something unique (including yourself). It’s ok to stand out, be yourself or take a risk, and judgements should be almost non-existent. Aquarius is very open-minded and Jupiter (in positive aspect) is all about benevolence.

Mercury/Mars adds to the above with assertive but not pushy words. The harmony of the sextile adds Mars’ aggressiveness in a manageable way, encouraging outspoken information that is delivered in an acceptable manner. Combined with Sun/Jupiter, today’s influences favour exploration, the communication of fresh ideas standing up for yourself with easy confidence.

However, Uranus (ruler of Aquarius) opposite Pallas does suggest that liberating moves will trigger some imbalances. Pallas in Libra’s polite social strategies will be upended, or even abruptly abandoned. Not a deal-breaker, but consider if any relationship plans, compromises or solutions have outlived their usefulness.

Note that this opposition (a culmination) takes places at 29 degrees (the final degree). This strongly points to the end of a social issue – you may be liberated or surprised, but either way there’s no going back. If this makes you uneasy, know that Jupiter’s influence suggests that this is a good thing.
