  • Mercury in Scorpio sextile Saturn in Capricorn (17°)

  • Venus in Capricorn conjunct Ceres (5°)

Mercury/Saturn combines structure and restraint with intense words. This is the ultra- serious conversation, plan or investigation. Focus integrated with powerful intuition means that this information will have a quiet but powerful impact.

This is the last of three sextiles between Mercury and Saturn, so an issue from October is now being concluded:

  • Oct 14th: 14 deg

  • Nov 13th: 16 deg (Mercury Rx)

Venus/Ceres in businesslike Capricorn unites committed love with nurturing. Nurturing may be traditional or dominated by rules, and a successful outcome is important. Caring and affection can also be expressed as a visible sign of status. Your values as a caregiver or parent may be strictly defined.

Overall, today is a day to get serious about profound truths and your responsibilities about loving and caring for yourself or someone else.

November 28th, 2019: All The Venus Issues

  • Capricorn Moon square Juno in Libra (8°)

  • Capricorn Moon conjunct the South Node (8°)

  • Juno in Libra square the Capricorn South Node/Cancer North Node (8°)

  • Mercury in Scorpio trine Neptune in Pisces (15°)

  • Mercury in Scorpio opposite Vesta RX in Taurus (15°)

  • Venus in Capricorn trine Uranus RX in Taurus (3°)

The Moon and Juno

Juno in Libra is about balanced relationship agreements. But when she makes a square aspect to the Nodes, something about this agreement is unbalanced and troublesome. South Node is the past or what is culminating, and North Node is what you are moving towards. So you may be stuck at a point where you and another disagree, or relationship rules/commitments (SN issues) feel unfair.

The Capricorn Moon uniting with the SN and squaring Juno could trigger a turning point in this situation. Note that the Moon rules the North Node, so the key is integrating past rules/traditions with a new awareness of needs and emotional expression. Until this integration happens the partnership agreement will remain stuck and crisis-ridden. Parental dynamics will be a major theme.

Mercury

Mercury triggers the last of three aspects to Vesta and Neptune. Due to Mercury’s previous RX, the opposition and trine first occurred from October 15-23rd. Back then, you were introduced to taboo, secret or intense words/ideas that challenged a focus (Vesta) on material security and habits. But the trine to Neptune encouraged that flow of information as you explored deeper levels.

These aspects reoccurred from November 10-13th, when Mercury was RX-more questions were asked or investigations burrowed beneath the surface.

Today, the issue that began in October is wrapping up. The challenge to a material focus or fixed routine is still there, but now there is a conclusion based on what you have learned. Deeper truths, or an understanding of psychological issues can help you move forward or have a compassionate conversation about money, fear of change or sacred boundaries.

The November 27th post about Neptune sextile Vesta is also connected to this: consider how an integration of the physical and spiritual can deepen your understanding of what is valuable to you.

Venus

Venus’ harmonious aspect to Uranus can help you deal with changes to relationships, values, security or self-esteem. You can incorporate those changes gradually, within an existing structure (Capricorn). You’re not breaking any rules about what you want or love, but you are making some changes. The definition of what’s considered valuable or attractive will shift.

Venus is the common energy in all of the above (Venus rules Libra and Taurus). So the overarching theme is addressing unbalanced relationships and a shift in values. Taurus is about subjective, “me first” Venus and Libra is about objective “what about you” Venus.

November 20, 2019: Mercury Direct

  • Mercury in Scorpio stations direct (11° at 2:11 PM EST)

  • Chiron RX in Aries square Ceres in Capricorn (1 °)

Mercury direct gives you the go -ahead regarding issues that have been delayed, reviewed or questioned since October 31st. The in-depth examination or exposure of secrets is now over- it’s time to move forward with what you know (and that includes speaking out, if necessary).

Chiron/Ceres triggers some difficult dynamics around rigid or traditional nurturing. Ceres is about mother’s nurturing and the cycle of life, loss and rebirth. Attempts to parent someone could bring out painful dynamics as they struggle to maintain their independence. Nurturing can be used as a tool to control, even if this is not done consciously. Or, a defined crisis point in the cycle of life and loss can be very uncomfortable-understand that this cycle cannot be controlled, and that is perhaps the most painful part. 

If you’re confronting this crisis, use Mercury’s direct motion to advance the conversation or your inner knowledge.

November 18th, 2019: Leo Moon Challenges

by  • 

Yod.jpg

  • Leo Moon square Mercury RX in Scorpio (11°)

  • Leo Moon inconjunct Neptune RX in Pisces (15°)

  • Leo Moon inconjunct Saturn in Capricorn (16°)

Moon square Mercury RX can trigger discordant or anxious thoughts as profoundly focused ideas clash with bold, showy energy. A square is a crisis aspect, and the tension of this crisis can bring to light a particular secret or insight about fame or the need for appreciation. 

The Moon then becomes the focal point of a brief Yod: the inconjuncts to Neptune and Saturn will highlight the disconnect between ego/ drama/me first versus the Saturn/Neptune blend of sacrifice and quiet manifestation. Saturn and Neptune form a separating sextile, which represents the blend of dreams and reality (and the small sacrifice necessary to make it work). The focal point is also the difficult point of integration: it may be a struggle to achieve recognition or to balance pride with work and humility. But somehow, pride and recognition will put a spotlight on your sacrifice. 

This is not a “poor me” influence-it’s taking credit for the quiet work that you’ve done while remembering that dreams have limits and what’s solid can be dissolved.

November 13th, 2019: Quiet Power

by  •

  • Scorpio Sun sextile Pluto in Capricorn (21°)

  • Mercury RX in Scorpio sextile Saturn in Capricorn (16°)

  • Mercury RX in Scorpio trine Neptune RX in Pisces (15°)

Pluto rules Scorpio, so this harmonious connection with the Sun adds depth and power to an issue that’s currently being illuminated. Power can be expressed effectively without trampling over others- tap into the transformation of old rules/structures for a solid confirmation and the reveal of valuable strength and resources. This is power that’s expressed with calmness and quiet assurance.

Mercury/Neptune is a profound  flow of words. There are no limits to what can be said, as long as what’s communicated is authentic. Saturn adds some control and boundaries, keeping the focus on the relevant issues and injecting a touch of reality. Excellent if you need to communicate creatively or compassionately, but also with authority. You could also be discussing or contemplating a necessary sacrifice.

These Mercury aspects have occurred previously (when it was direct) from October 14-15th. So you are now revisiting this issue or reconfirming the terms.
