What Is A Mars Return?

In astrology, a “return” occurs when a planet moves through all the signs, then winds up right where it was when you were born. Just thinking about this, you can see why it’s a big deal.  Something has gone “full … Read More…

Mars in Libra

The first thing we need to know about Mars in Libra is that Mars is in his detriment here – he’s operating from a sign where he doesn’t feel at all comfortable. Now, this doesn’t mean that it’s good or bad, it just means that a planet in th…

October 18th, 2017: Battle For The Truth, Featuring Lilith

  • Mercury in Scorpio conjunct Jupiter: 1 degree
  • Mars in Virgo square Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius: 27 degrees

Mercury/Jupiter opens the Scorpio can of worms. Secrets and frighteningly intimate facts expand to the point where they cannot be ignored. But Jupiter is also about intuition and faith. So the upside is a rare opportunity to unite logic with intuition, and power ahead based on the confidence that you’ve got it right. And you probably do have it right, if you’re giving voice to your intuition. This energy can also help you mine hidden strategies and resources – you may have more than you think.

Mars’ male energy challenges Lilith’s mouthy outsider in a battle of sexual power. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, and Virgo is ruled by Mercury, so this square is directly tied into the Mercury/Jupiter conjunction. Disruptive female energy is given a voice and Jupiter in Scorpio suggests more stories will rise from the depths. As I wrote in this post, Lilith in Sag has a crusade. 

In general terms, the square between Virgo and Sag represents the tension between details and the big story. Also, the truth (Sagittarius) about what’s wrong (Virgo). Facts will be disputed, and the battle may be about details that seem insignificant. If you’re caught up in a battle, know that little inaccuracies and picky details are not inconsequential. Honour your facts. And don’t allow yourself to be intimidated (Mars) by someone who uses guilt and shame (Virgo) as a weapon (Mars).

The above works both ways. If you want to speak, speak your truth. If you don’t want to speak, that’s your right as well.

October 11th, 2017: Lilith Versus The Virgin

  • Venus in Virgo inconjunct Uranus Rx in Aries: 26 degrees
  • Venus in Virgo square Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius: 26 degrees
  • Uranus Rx in Aries trine Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius: 26 degrees
  • Mars in Virgo square Saturn in Sagittarius: 22 degrees

BML is agitating (in all her outcast glory) with an enabling trine to Uranus. This aspect encourages taboo and disruptive women’s issues – freedom for whatever makes the patriarchy and polite society uncomfortable.  

And this energy will be at odds with polite society, due to the square between Venus and Lilith. Specifically, Virgo’s ultra-correct expression of female energy. Here is the clichéd good girl/bad girl dichotomy – Virgo’s purity versus Sagittarius’ wildness. And Uranus will make things difficult for poor Venus, as he jolts her with panicky reminders that this scenario is messy. 

The above could manifest as an internal struggle: you’re stuck between the obligation to be “good” versus rabidly honest. Or, someone may play the Venus role, with you as Lilith (or vice versa). Both sides have merit. Venus asks why BML insists on ignoring certain facts in her lust to be recognized. Parts of the real story (the dry but important parts) may be glossed over. Lilith asks why Venus is so insanely critical, neurotic and repressive. Why is it unclean to break the rules?

Mars will be zero help. He’s locked in a battle with Saturn – restricted actions, repressed anger and oppressive responsibilities. 

Overall, today’s vibe is clamped down and judgemental. Something/someone is struggling to come out, but there will be a host of rules, picky details and critiques to navigate. As oppressive as those rules and details will be, they cannot be ignored. There’s work (Mars/Saturn) to do, even if you want to rebel.
