  • Venus in Libra sextile Saturn in Sagittarius: 24 deg
  • Venus in Libra inconjunct Chiron Rx in Pisces: 24 deg
  • Sun in Scorpio trine Neptune Rx in Pisces: 11 deg

Venus is the dominant energy today. Her sextile with Saturn suggests quiet developments in money, relationship and self-esteem matters. Nothing flashy, just a reminder to calmly approach Venus issues. Be disciplined (Saturn) about balancing (Libra) your wants. Be an adult (Saturn) about this. 

Venus/Chiron may present a painful reminder. Developments could trigger an insecurity – you feel unloved, unattractive, etc. This is where Saturn comes in. When you experience that brief moment of social embarrassment, or you feel “unacceptable” Saturn’s steady hand will urge you to look at the bigger picture (Sagittarius). There’s more going on than your awkward moment.

Sun/Neptune encourages you to immerse yourself in something deeper. Yes, your Venus issue is important, but there’s also a reservoir of compassion, creativity or peace. And you can only access it if you take one step back from the surface stuff (how you look/how they look/how well you’re liked). If you find yourself dwelling excessively on a relationship/self-esteem problem, release your concerns about appearance and open yourself up to what lies beneath (the deeper truth, even if it’s ugly). Accept what you have and release the yearning for what you don’t have.

Any combination of Neptune and the Sun transcends the ego. Add in Scorpio, and you have the potential to empower yourself by letting go of grasping, controlling, compulsive behaviour. Stop trying to influence others, and see what happens. 

 

Scorpio Season, Featuring Jupiter

Scorpio season begins on October 23rd at 1:26 AM EDT. This year, it’s all about Jupiter, which will expand Scorpio’s depth. 

Optimism as the lights go out is one possibility. Expanding darkness can force you to dig deeper for something to have faith in. In general, the Sun’s Scorpio ingress marks the season of death and rebirth, transformation and merging. These themes will be accelerated by Jupiter. You’ll still be turning inwards, but the scope of what you learn will be enlarged. This will be about the internal, undiscovered country. And, the internal, undiscovered resources. There’s always more underneath: more to the story, more value, more power. 

If you have a birthday from October 23rd to October 30th, the Sun/Jupiter conjunction will be part of your Solar Return year. 

Here are the aspects the Sun in Scorpio will make:

  • October 26th: conjunct Jupiter (3 deg)
  • October 28th: opposite Pallas Rx (5 deg Taurus)
  • November 3rd: trine Neptune Rx (11 deg Pisces)
  • November 4th: square Ceres (12 deg Leo)
  • November 4th: Full Moon (11 deg Taurus)
  • November 8th: sextile Juno (16 deg Capricorn)
  • November 9th: sextile Pluto (17 deg Capricorn)
  • November 11th: square the Nodes (19 deg Aquarius/Leo)
  • November 16th: trine Chiron Rx (24 deg Pisces)
  • November 17th: inconjunct Uranus Rx (25 deg Aries)
  • November 18th: New Moon 26 deg Scorpio
