  • Last Quarter Square between the Cancer Moon and Libra Sun (27°)

  • Mars in Libra square the Capricorn South Node/Cancer North Node (11°)

  • Venus in Scorpio trine Neptune RX in Pisces (16°)

The Last Quarter Square can trigger difficult questions around balancing your personal needs in a relationship. Maybe you’ve been giving too much or trying so hard to be agreeable that you’ve ignored your core truths. This square will activate a crisis that forces you to consider what you really need and how that compares to what you’ve been giving or receiving.

Adding to the tension, Mars squaring the Nodes can make it very difficult to act or express anger. It may feel like everything you do is out of step with the current. This is actually a reminder to pause and consider the choice that’s been active since September 22nd (Mercury, Venus and the Sun in Libra have squared the Nodes since that date)-the value of old rules/traditions/judgments versus a more authentic path forward that is aligned with what you need. 

The Cancer Moon rules the North Node so this is very much about stepping away from familiar but limiting habits and moving towards what’s unfamiliar but authentic. Maybe a responsibility needs to be wrapped up before you step forward. Any action you take should move you towards the North Node.

There is a harmonious connection between Venus and Neptune-this energy promises unconditional love, easy intimacy or a smooth immersion into what you want. While today’s actions will be tricky, attracting, allowing and opening yourself up to something you trust should be effortless (as long as you’re willing to go all the way). Note that Venus rules Libra, so this takes us back to the Third Quarter Square: diving into what’s authentic can be part of the answer to this crisis.

  • Venus in Scorpio sextile Saturn in Capricorn (14°)

Today’s quietly powerful influence is excellent for major commitments in a relationship, financial or self-esteem issue. Venus in Scorpio it is about total love and intimacy or profound self-esteem. Saturn solidifies this with gentle reassurance that the love is real, the resources are secure or the values are on target.

This is about the deepest possible commitment to yourself or another that is expressed with subdued confidence-there’s no drama, only an intensive confirmation of what’s valuable. Even if some some things still remain hidden, this aspect says you can trust that you’re on solid ground.

October 17th, 2019: Go Deep, Move Forward

  • Mercury in Scorpio trine Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (18°)

  • Venus in Scorpio trine Cancer North Node (11°)

Mercury gives Lilith a voice. Truths about taboo sexual issues, women’s power and women’s secrets are said quietly, but the words will resonate loudly in your core. This is the time to speak about what’s uncomfortable, or what’s been hidden, regarding women’s sexual power. In some cases, there may be quiet reveals about a woman’s victimization. Either way, the words will flow out naturally. 

The conversation has just begun, because this trine will occur two more times:

  • November 9th (21°, Mercury RX)

  • December 4th (24°, Mercury direct)

Venus/NN indicates that complete commitment to and total immersion in a relationship/financial/self-esteem issue harmonizes with your path towards emotional satisfaction. The more courageous you are about confronting what’s beneath the surface (regarding what you want or value) the more you’ll feel a gentle but unmistakable pull forward. This aspect says that what you love does have a future, as long as there’s more beneath the surface. This does not apply to anything light or superficial.

October 12th, 2019: New Relationship Dynamics

  • 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°):
