Saturn/Uranus

Today we see the last of three trines between Saturn and Uranus. Saturn gives form to Uranus’ changes, and Uranus ensures that Saturn’s structure will not be too rigid. Here is the calculated risk, or individuality supported by the rules. You can build something new while maintaining stability in the midst of disruption. Fire signs means this is about looking ahead, creating and having hope for the future. 

In the early hours of this morning (from roughly 1:00 am to 7:00 am EST) the Leo Moon will trine Saturn and Uranus, creating a Grand Fire Trine. This is the ultimate circuit of hot potential, ready to be made real (Saturn). But even if you’re not up at the crack of the dawn, you can still benefit all day from Saturn/Uranus. 

The previous trines occurred on December 24th, 2016 (20 deg) and May 19th, 2017 (26 deg). 

Sun Square The Nodes

The Sun squaring the Nodes may present a challenge. The Sun rules the Leo North Node, and that’s your path forward – something is ready to be created, brought into the light and empowered. But first, a Scorpio issue needs to be confronted; a secret, taboo or dark truth is demanding your attention.

The Aquarius South Node tells us a bit more, since you always progress from the South to the North Node. Something on the fringe (maybe you) – the outsider, the disruption. It’s ready for a place in the centre. Uranus (ruler of the South Node) is getting help from Saturn, so all you need to do is put the chaotic event/rebellious energy into context. Apply some rules to it. Yes, it’s time to come in out of the cold and work with the existing structure.

Part of this process will involve diving in and confronting what’s in the shadows (Scorpio), before you can step into the sunlight. Maybe this is what you never wanted to admit, or what you don’t want anyone to see. It might be easier to remain detached (Aquarius). Scorpio’s absolute commitment to going all the way down and getting dirty means there will be no ironic distance allowed. But if you take the easy way, you’ll miss out on today’s full benefits. 

Then again, maybe Scorpio is where you’re stuck. If you’re currently wallowing in the sludge of an obsession or self-destructive habit, it’s time to look up and out. There’s a place down the road (called the Leo North Node) where you can be proud of yoursel. It’s where you have a purpose, because you’ll be creating something that makes you feel good. But you have to want to go there. 

Pluto/Juno

Finally, Pluto (ruler of Scorpio) conjoins Juno in Capricorn (ruled by Saturn) and indicates a partnership transformation. Here is the “death” of an old agreement/commitment. Or, the permanent transformation of a partner. Depending on your individual scenario, this could be an ending or evolution that leads to a stronger, more passionate union. Saturn’s dance with Uranus hints at hopeful progress, as long as you don’t stubbornly avoid any changes that make you uncomfortable. 

Overall, today is a good day. You’ve got that square to the Nodes and Saturn is prominent. But, he’s making a harmonious aspect. That means you have manifestation power at your fingertips. You can focus and work to make something real, and it shouldn’t feel like a struggle.

You can create your future.
