Good day friends! Before jumping too quickly toward our personal desires this week, we may want to consider a few moments of pause – in order to create a plan B, just in case things don’t go as planned. Intentions with persistence aim to get the job done right with a serious Mars/Saturn trine on […]

September 4th, 2019: Venus Opposite Neptune
Venus in Virgo opposite Neptune Rx in Pisces (17 deg)
Neptune dissolves Venus in Virgo’s specifics, so facts about relationships, money or self-esteem become blurry. The details of what you want may be vague or take on sacrificial undertones. Perhaps it seems like a good idea to give all in order to prove your love. Or perhaps you’re questioning your value.
Pay attention to what’s undermining the truth about what you want. Watch for the urge to throw it all away because it wasn’t right. An opposition from Neptune is not truth, it’s the release of what you thought you knew. Your first urge (to sacrifice, to debase, to doubt everything) is probably wrong. But what comes after that…
This aspect is part of the T-Square, and it’s tricky. Neptune can expand the desire for slavery or expand your doubts of how valuable/attractive you are. An opposing force can challenge what you thought was correct about love/money. Before you give or doubt, ask questions.
This is the aspect of innocence, as Venus in Virgo’s purity is hi-lighted by Neptune’s transcendence. But with the hard aspect of the opposition, purity can also be a way of avoiding what’s real. The flaws in the elevation of perfection are illuminated.

September 3rd, 2019: Get Precise

Mercury conjunct Mars in Virgo (10 deg)
Sun conjunct Mercury in Virgo (11 deg)
Venus in Virgo trine the Capricorn South Node (16 deg)
Mercury/Mars is facts united with actions. There’s a precise, correct “thing” for you to do. You should know exactly what it is – maybe you’re doing something specific to manifest an improvement, or you’re using your anger/passion to communicate what you know is right.
The Sun’s superior conjunction to Mercury adds clarity and purpose to the above. No excuses – it’s spelled out in front of you. This conjunction will be a result or ending connected to the last conjunction (Jul 21st, 28 deg Cancer) when Mercury was Rx.
Venus adds a gentle nudge of reassurance as money, relationship or self-esteem issues harmonize with the past. Existing rules, traditions or habits support the specifics of what you love. Get real and focus on the details of what you want – it should feel natural rather than restrictive. Precision is beautiful.

September 2nd, 2019: Too Much?

Sun conjunct Mars in Virgo (9 deg)
Venus in Virgo square Jupiter in Sagittarius (15 deg)
Sun/Mars energizes your ability to correct and refine. There is confidence in doing the thing you know is right and motivation to do the required work. This is an ambitious yet particular aspect – sloppiness or half-hearted attempts will not cut it.
Part of the ongoing T-Square, Venus/Jupiter boosts today’s energy even more. You may want (Venus) to push the limits of what you can do with Sun/Mars. A square from Jupiter exaggerates, so there will be a big desire to help/clean/make it perfect. You may express your love with an over-the-top example of how useful you are.
But the crisis of this square is between Sagittarius’ ideals and Virgo’s reality. Too much of a good thing is still too much. Consider if they really want your help (are you overwhelming them with your love) or if your rush to get it right means you overlook the specifics. Maybe your ambitions for self-improvement take you past the point of what’s reasonable.
Overall, you’ll want to do a lot today, and you can. Just keep an eye on those expectations.
September 1st, 2019: Logic or Magic?

Mercury in Virgo Trine Uranus Rx in Taurus (6 deg)
Venus in Virgo opposite Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (13 deg)
Venus in Virgo trine Saturn Rx in Capricorn (14 deg)
Mercury/Uranus encourages you to think outside the box…slightly. Watch for new details/solutions or fresh angles on existing facts, but you don’t have to venture too far. You can put a new spin on logic and break through the barrier to something truly innovative yet practical. None of this is risky – this is about small changes that sound doable because they’re bite-sized.
Venus/Saturn confirms a relationship, financial or self-esteem issue. The facts about what you want can be made official. But Venus’ opposition to BML says that what’s official will clash with unstructured/undefined manifestations of female sexuality or liberation. The taboo magic of the dangerous woman will be at odds with what you’re trying to confirm.
So at this point, you need to decide what’s more important – tradition or the escape from tradition?
August 26th, 2019: Targeted Improvements

Venus in Virgo trine Uranus Rx in Taurus (6 deg)
Pallas enters Scorpio
Venus/Uranus integrates change (Uranus) with financial/relationship/self-esteem issues in a gradual way. The update can occur in a step-by-step manner: a little adjustment here and there is all that’s needed to improve (Virgo) those Venus issues and approach what you want/love in new (Uranus) way.
Taurus is ruled by Venus, so there’s extra resonance in this aspect. Uranus in Taurus might be triggering some radical changes to habits or resources, but since it’s Rx at the moment the pace has probably slowed. Hooking up with Venus in Virgo, it’s the perfect time to zero in on the details – really get in there and change the way you relate to others, yourself or your money. Pinpoint the exact thing that’s not quite right.
Pallas into Scorpio is intensive strategies. This transit is about digging into the uncomfortable stuff/secrets and gaining profound insight about what most people don’t want to touch. Excellent for research or planning that involves psychological issues. This is the covert “battle strategy” that involves manipulation or accessing deeper resources in order to win.
Since Pallas involves pattern recognition, this can also be about seeing the deeper connections that have previously been obscured. Effective solutions involve going beyond the point where most people are comfortable, but that’s where the raw truth lies.
Consider how this Scorpio ingress can assist you with Venus/Uranus improvements.
Pallas will exit Scorpio for Sagittarius on Nov 8th.
August 25th, 2019: When It’s Still Broken

Venus and Mars in Virgo inconjunct Chiron Rx in Aries (5 deg)
The Venus/Mars conjunction has another layer as it makes an awkward aspect to Chiron. A wound or sensitivity will be triggered by acting on what you want. This is more of a side thing than the main story, but it will factor in. Pay attention to the slim but annoying thread of doubt or dissatisfaction, even if you get exactly what you desire.
Virgo is never entirely satisfied – the awareness of what needs to be improved means that even when things are “perfect” there’s always something that could be better. Consider if that’s the case here – you might be able to make adjustments, but don’t allow what you’ve achieved to be undermined by what’s not quite right. Recognize the line between improvement and attempting to fix what can’t be repaired (sometimes it just hurts).
August 24th, 2019: Venus Conjunct Mars in Virgo
Venus in Virgo conjunct Mars (4 deg)
Venus in Virgo square Ceres in Sagittarius (4 deg)
Venus/Mars is the perfect union of attraction and action. Carefully measured efforts, attention to detail and the motivation to improve can bring exactly (Virgo) what you’re working for. “Working” is the key word – Virgo never takes it easy. Too, this can be about showing (Mars) your love (Venus) by helping/serving/organizing.
But the square to Ceres suggests a conflict between the above and the expansive nurturing of something big or idealistic. The drive for freedom or wisdom will be challenged by the focus on specifics. Efforts to make it better or express love/affection may be fussy or overzealous when compared to more liberated examples of growth.
Consider if your efforts are attracting what you want and how this stacks up against a nurturing ideal.
