July 17th, 2019: Venus in Cancer Opposing Saturn

  • Venus in Cancer opposite Saturn Rx in Capricorn (16 deg_

  • Venus conjunct the North Node (17 deg)

  • Ceres stations direct (0 deg Sagittarius)

Venus opposing the ruler of July 16th’s eclipse indicates that the eclipse results will deliver a reality check around what you want and love. This could be a commitment, ending or hard definition that locks you in to what you want.

Sometimes strict boundaries can be a good thing, especially if you’ve been craving security and tradition. If so, this eclipse could deliver a very reassuring conclusion. But if you end up being denied, know that Venus’ move over the North Node says it’s time to move on, no matter what. The future awaits, and it’s full of the authentic, nurturing expression of what you want and need. Saturn is just making it easier to get there, because you can’t go back (and you probably don’t want to).

If you’re feeling unloved, pressured or restricted (you can’t enjoy what you want to enjoy) know that this is part of the maturity process. Draw your line, define your values, move on. Take responsibility for what you want – family and parental issues are key. Remember that you’re moving towards what you want and need. This is not some random craving or indulgence. You’re taking a hard look at what you’re ready to commit to. Consider the line between want and need (very important). The two are combined now, so it’s about more than indulgence.

Ceres direct continues the theme of forward movement – expansive nurturing or the exploration of growth in new areas is now ready to progress. Watch for movement in something you’ve put your faith in.

July 16th, 2019: Too Much of a Good Thing

  • Venus in Cancer inconjunct Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (15 deg)

Familiar manifestations of love, affection and values are at odds with expansion and ideals. You may want more without knowing exactly what that consists of. There can be dissatisfaction with domestic issues or a craving for something extra that you try to assuage with food or smothering/needy expressions of affection. Family relationships can cross certain boundaries because of well-meaning attempts to create happiness.

Consider what you want, then consider why it feels like it’s not enough. The discomfort is a message, but there needs to be a balance between more versus what you have.

July 8th, 2019: Slow Down, It Hurts

by  •

  • Mercury Rx in Leo conjunct Mars (4 deg)

  • Venus in Cancer square Chiron in Aries (5 deg)

  • Venus in Cancer sextile Uranus in Taurus (6 deg)

  • Chiron stations Rx in Aries (5 deg)

Mercury/Mars

Words and actions unite, but Mercury’s Rx status means one or more of the following:

  • taking action on a conversation/idea from the past

  • questioning current actions (look behind the shine)

  • looking back intensifies the decision to act (it’s time)

  • a message from the past triggers anger/passion/assertiveness

In general, there’s increased thoughtfulness combined with bold/showy actions. There could be delays, but more likely the second look or question will prompt the actions. This can be a powerful way to manifest, provided you take note of what Mercury Rx is telling you.

Venus/Chiron

Venus’ square to Chiron in Mars-ruled Aries adds another layer to the above. It would appear that the actions are happening in the face of a painful relationship, financial or self-esteem issue. Venus in Cancer is tender, and a hard aspect to Chiron means ultra-sensitive moments where you don’t get what you want (including empathy) or what you want reveals some very awkward feelings. Perhaps this is why Mercury is Rx when joined with Mars – it will be so important to slow down and proceed with care even if you’re asserting yourself with bold words.

However, Venus’ sextile to Uranus (in Venus-ruled Taurus) is hopeful. Despite the pain and tenderness, there’s room to progress, provided you focus on doing things for yourself and liberating yourself from stagnant habits/security needs. Taurus is about self-sufficiency and Uranus is about independence. These energies can support Venus who is (let’s be honest) sometimes quite helpless and needy in Cancer. Look at how you can become more self-sufficient.

And finally, Chiron stations Rx after the “ouch” with Venus. This echoes Mercury’s Rx – more reviews and intensifications. Whatever Venus/Chiron stirred up will amplify what hurts. Chiron Rx can press harder on the wound or force you to slow down and look inside. You can’t ignore it – it’s time to face the pain. You may be called on to display more courage, even though you feel weak. That “weakness” is the entry point and it’s where the healing begins.

Today is the day you assert yourself, with carefully chosen words, in the face of what hurts. Today is the day you take stock of why it hurts.

Venus’ Transit of Cancer: Mommy

by  •

Charles West Cope

Venus enters Cancer at 11:17 am EDT on July 3rd.

Cancer is ruled by the Moon, which is about needs. Venus is about what you want. The two are very different, but when Venus enters this sign they are united. So think about what you want and need, and how they can come together in the next month. Consider the differences and how they might unite.

Venus in Cancer adds a very personal cast to all relationship, financial and self- esteem issues. It matters because it matters to you, end of story. Venus in Cancer is emotional, empathetic, moody. Love/affection is displayed via nurturing and there is no way to detach. Yes, it’s personal and if they don’t get it they don’t get you. Literally.

You want to feel safe and cuddled. Love is expressed with hugs. If there’s no emotional connection- f**k them.

Food.

We can’t forget about Cancer’s association with comfort food – chocolate, soup, mashed potatoes. Whatever you want and whatever makes you feel good. This is a potent blend of want and security. Mother, nourishment. Milk. How does this play out in your life?

Regardless of what your relationship is with your mother, this transit can take you to a place where you are aware of what you want and need, and it’s all about her. It’s potent because it’s based on the past.

How does what you want connect to your relationship with your mother? Do you need to change it or strengthen it?

Here are the aspects Venus in Cancer will make:

  • Jul 4th: inconjunct Ceres Rx in Sagittarius (1 deg)

  • Jul 8th: square Chiron in Aries (5 deg)

  • Jul 8th: sextile Uranus in Taurus (5 deg)

  • Jul 9th: trine Black Moon Lilith in Pisces ( 7 deg)

  • Jul 14th: sextile Vesta in Taurus (14 deg)

  • Jul 16th: inconjunct Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (15 deg)

  • Jul 17th: opposite Saturn Rx in Capricorn (16 deg)

  • Jul 17th: square pallas in Libra (17 deg)

  • Jul 17th: conjunct North Node (17 deg)

  • Jul 18th: trine Neptune Rx in Pisces (18 deg)

  • Jul 21st: opposite Pluto Rx in Capricorn (21 deg)

  • Jul 24th: conjunct Mercury Rx (26 deg)

  • Jul 27th: Leo ingress

Becoming Self-Sufficient | Starcana Cosmic Dirt

by  • 

Vibrations shift this week as Mars (energy, desires) moves from passive Cancer, into brave-heart Leo on Monday, July 1. Behavior that seemed defensive or tame during the past few weeks, becomes raw, roaring and reactive for what we’re starving for over the next six weeks. We’re hungry, and we’re not backing down from the chase […]
