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
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 As outdated as these manifestations may be, they still hold power over some people.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
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).

September 24th, 2019: Relationships are Favoured

Mercury in Libra inconjunct Neptune RX in Pisces (16°)
Mercury in Libra sextile Jupiter in Sagittarius (17°)
Venus in Libra sextile Ceres in Sagittarius (11°)
Saturn in Capricorn trine Juno in Virgo (13°)
Mercury/Neptune is a caution to balance truth with sensitivity. What’s unspoken or suspected should be honored, but don’t allow it to undermine your objectivity when speaking with others. It can be easy to read too much into what you think the other person is saying. But the more dominant aspect of Mercury/Jupiter should counteract this with a shot of balanced wisdom and optimism. Overall, communication with others will be open minded and inclusive.
Venus/Ceres adds a smooth touch to all relationships. One-on-one exchanges will be nurturing but not smothering. This aspect suggests acceptance and objective empathy for all. This also has a light touch- no one is being forced to conform or stay.
For those who want reassurance, Saturn/Juno ensures the firm commitment. Juno in Virgo is the detailed agreement-nothing is overlooked and there is a shared desire to improve. Saturn nails it down with an official commitment or steadfast rules.
Overall, any one-on-one exchange is favoured today.

September 17th, 2019: Rough Patches

Mercury in Libra inconjunct Uranus Rx in Taurus (6 deg)
Venus in Libra opposite Chiron Rx in Aries (4 deg)
A difficult day for relationship harmony.
Venus in Libra loves to be loved and to have everything polished, pretty and graceful. This can mean bending over backwards to be accommodating, but the opposition to Chiron indicates that there will be socially uncomfortable moments, no matter what.
Efforts to be charming or diplomatic may fail, or end up inadvertently triggering a sore spot. Perhaps you’re hurt because someone is taking advantage or treating you unfairly. This is the time to be aware of what desires (regarding love, attention and values) you’re projecting. People don’t know what you want unless you tell them. If they can’t or won’t meet you halfway (after you’ve been open) this tells you something about them.
Adding to this, we have Mercury making a painful inconjunct to Uranus in Venus-ruled Taurus. Polite conversation will be difficult due to hard-to-pinpoint anxiety about saying the right thing. There’s a need to speak the truth/break away from what’s proper, but there can be doubts about how to do this effectively. Words may swing between the complete avoidance of anything controversial (candy-coated statements) to blunt, artless blurbs.
Expect touchy, painful moments and inappropriate words. Do your best to navigate by making allowances for rough patches.
