  • Mercury in Scorpio trine the Cancer North Node (12°)

  • Venus in Scorpio opposite Uranus RX in Taurus (5°)

  • Mars in Libra inconjunct Uranus RX in Taurus (5°) 

Venus/Uranus can trigger a surprise ending/result that disrupts a hidden or taboo issue. Relationships, values or finances will be abruptly clarified as an external shock forcibly detaches you from what you’ve been trying to possess. This could also be a sudden urge for liberation from a heavy situation. In some cases, a radical new attraction can shake your sense of control. 

Uranus’ harsh, clear light pierces Scorpio depths and reveals the truth about what you love or want. The shock provides clarity which can only arrive when you step outside of Scorpio’s all-encompassing intensity. If you’ve been trying to possess someone, they may be ripped away.

Mars/Uranus adds unbalanced actions/sexual energy to the above as current relationship efforts are revealed to be incompatible with this revelation. Mars will scramble around in an effort to find a new balance point: doing nothing for fear of rocking the boat and then doing something ill- advised and impulsive. 

The old relationship dynamics no longer exist: Uranus has blown them away. The change must be honored but a new balance point must be found. It will be difficult, but make an effort to moderate your actions according to this new normal. Be wary of reacting without thought, even if circumstances are pushing you.

On an easier note, Mercury/North Node says that intimate conversations or deeply honest words will guide you in the right direction. The path forward is pointed towards a place that’s more emotionally honest, empathetic and in tune with your core needs. Today’s nakedly honest observations or deep self-analysis can take you there.

October 10th, 2019: Support For The Pain

  • Libra Sun sextile Ceres in Sagittarius (17°)

  • Venus in Scorpio inconjunct Chiron RX in Aries (3°)

  • Pluto in Capricorn trine Juno in Virgo (20°)

Venus/Chiron means that the deeper you go regarding what you want or attract, the more vulnerable you’ll be. You may be tempted to keep what’s uncomfortable hidden while dealing with the obvious wound. Or, you may try to lose yourself in the obsession while ignoring the battle. 

This aspect can amplify the “ugliness” of taboo issues around love, values or beauty. You may feel unattractive or ashamed because of the intensity. It’s a tough one, because you have to integrate the external wound with the Shadow. The uglier you feel, the more important it is that you come to terms with this. Healing occurs when you confront what’s in the Shadow and find a way to love yourself.

Fortunately, you have a nice Sun (in Venus-ruled Libra)/Ceres aspect that brings balanced, expansive nurturing. This energy encourages you to explore the possibilities and trust that justice, idealism and hope are accessible in relationships.

Also, Pluto (ruler of Scorpio) empowers Juno’s relationship commitments by adding depth to the details of the agreement. The little things between you and another and your mutual efforts to make the partnership better/cleaner/correct can be potently effective. 

What does this mean overall? One sticky aspect and two supportive aspects mean that you can handle the uncomfortable stuff.

Venus Into Scorpio

Venus enters Scorpio on October 8th. Relationships, values and finances will go through a period of intense transformation/ renewal or endings. Scorpio intensifies all Venus matters so you may find yourself wanting something or someone specific. The purpose of the intensity is to take you to your limits so you can learn the truth about what you really love and value, and what no longer has any life In it.

This is a transit of inner learning. Beyond the smouldering attractions that are usually described, understand that what you’re drawn to, or who you magnetize, is meant teach you about yourself. You learn about what you really want and how far you’re willing to go regarding a commitment or obsession.

Venus in Scorpio is the all- or- nothing transit: you either want it/ them completely or you could care less. What’s dark, taboo or uncomfortable is beautiful. Absolute intimacy and merging with another is attractive.

You can use this energy for some deep investigation into your self -worth. How are your limits? Are you compelled to give all to the wrong person? Are you ready to commit all to the right person? How much is your work/ happiness really worth?

This transit can also enable the discovery of previously hidden resources (material and internal). It’s about digging deep enough to excavate what you didn’t realize you had. 

Venus will enter Sagittarius on November 1st.

Here are the aspects Venus will make (note that there is a Venus/ Mercury conjunction on October 30th at 27°):

Honoring Our Spirit | Starcana Cosmic Dirt

by  • 

Intentions may feel a bit tested this week, between the irritable Mercury/Uranus opposition, a restrictive Sun/Saturn square on Monday October 7 – and the finicky Venus/Uranus opposition on Saturday October 12. An unexpected shift could be hard to resist, as overpowering winds aim to send us off into another direction. Stay mindful, in order to […]

October 1st, 2019: Venus Square Pluto and Relationship Dynamics

by  • 

Juan de Flandes

Juan de Flandes

  • Venus in Libra Square Pluto RX in Capricorn (20°)

  • Neptune RX in Pisces opposite Juno in Virgo (16°)  

  • Juno in Virgo opposite Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (16°)

Venus/ Pluto is the crisis between the surface of relationships versus darker truths underneath. The uncomfortable issues, symbolized by Pluto, will create tension that draws your awareness to inconvenient truths. This tension can manifest as obsessive attractions, jealousy or manipulative one- on- one exchanges.

The separating Neptune/Lilith conjunction challenges precise, correct relationship agreements (Juno). BML is the other woman/whore/witch and Juno is the “good wife”. These extreme symbols will be in play somehow, even if it’s someone’s distorted view of the virgin/whore dichotomy. 

In this case, Lilith is the slippery seductress and Juno is the faithful “virgin.” As outdated as these manifestations may be, they still hold power over some people. You may be surprised to discover untapped feelings of guilt or judgment toward yourself or someone else who embodies Lilith or Juno.

Along with the subterranean truth of the Venus/ Pluto square, the Lilith/Juno opposition can reveal some interesting relationship dynamics.

September 27th, 2019: Venus Inconjunct Lilith/Neptune

  • Venus in Libra inconjunct Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (16°)

  • Venus in Libra inconjunct Neptune RX in Pisces (16°)

Venus makes challenging aspects to BML and Neptune. The socially acceptable expression of female energy or relationship impulses (Venus) will have to be adjusted with the magic (Neptune) of the dangerous woman (BML). 

Lilith’s undefined energy can seep unexpectedly into situations: Lilith/ Neptune is the addictive or transcendent version of the other woman/ witch/ prostitute or female rebel. Without allowing this to undermine a relationship or your social balance, you must still consider what slides beneath the social dance.

Lilith/ Neptune is slippery and this conjunction will be exact on September 30th (so what starts today will stretch into the 30th). As this energy builds, consider how it challenges the conventional standards of relating. What is the unspoken side of the woman you know? There may be doubts about what’s unconventional (but liberating) and these will have to be integrated before they weaken your relationships.

Sometimes this energy can manifest as the sneaky or destructive side of flirtation.

September 25th, 2019: Venus Square Saturn And The Nodes

by  •

  • Venus in Libra square Saturn in Capricorn (13°)

  • Venus in Libra Square the Nodes (14°)

Venus square Saturn (ruler of the Capricorn South node) will place restrictions on what you want and love. These restrictions will be rules, obligations or traditions from the past. The pressure to conform or hold back will create an imbalance (Libra). You may feel less attractive or you may not get what you want in a relationship. The exchange of love and affection will be unequal-perhaps one person simply has nothing to give.

But since Venus is squaring the Nodes, those restrictions are pushing you towards a crossroads. You will have to acknowledge what you cannot have while also looking towards the future (Cancer North Node). The future is more emotional, nurturing and giving but it’s not familiar. So even if what you know it is unpleasant, there may be hesitation to move forward. It’s always your choice: you may have to make a decision about a relationship or a situation that impacts your self-esteem. Look at what you can’t have and where your responsibilities lie, and then consider what you can have (it’s ahead of you).
