  • Moon in Libra opposite Chiron in Aries (0 deg)

  • Waning Inconjunct between the Libra Moon and Pisces Sun (2 deg)

  • Libra Moon inconjunct Mars in Taurus (5 deg)

A difficult day for the Libra Moon and relationships in general.

The Moon/Chiron opposition can trigger some painful issues, including feeling out of place, unloved or unappreciated. The mood will be very, very sensitive and hurt feelings are likely.

The Moon then moves into a difficult Waning Inconjunct, presenting an adjustment to the results of February 19th’s Full Moon – awkward dynamics of give and take, balance or compromise must be factored into the Full Moon’s culmination. You may not want to acknowledge a relationship issue, but it cannot be ignored.

Finally, the Moon makes another inconjunct, this time to Mars. Subjective, stubborn actions that preserve or encourage growth will need to be balanced with the above relationship situation. Someone may not agree with what you’re doing, or perhaps there are accusations of selfishness. Taking any action may feel inappropriate, but while it may feel like a struggle, a compromise can be reached.

In general, be prepared for challenging, one-on-one exchanges today. You’ll have to put in some extra effort to keep things civil.

February 17th, 2019: Awkward Feelings

  • 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.

Feb 12th, 2019: Ground Yourself

  • First Quarter Square between the Taurus Moon and Aquarius Sun (23 deg)

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

The First Quarter Square brings a crisis between liberation (Aquarius) and routine (Taurus). What’s new and unusual may now feel a bit too crazy and you may encounter a block that forces you to slow down.

This square is the “crisis in action” aspect so forward movement is still necessary, but in this case it’s movement of a different kind. Rather than floating above the issue and exploring the theoretical what ifs, it’s time to come down to earth and take slow, solid steps. This might feel a bit dull, but it’s necessary so you can ground yourself.

The square between Vesta (devotion) and Ceres (nurturing) tells us a bit more about today’s tension. 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).

Consider how the dynamics of withdrawal versus nurturing are playing out now – there could be a crisis of faith around mothering or care for someone who is ill (perhaps they don’t want help or require a different kind of nurturing).

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.
