June 24th, 2019: Venus Square Neptune

Venus in Gemini square Neptune Rx in Pisces (18 deg)
Building on yesterday’s aspects to Venus, today’s square to Neptune will trigger a crisis between what you want/have (Venus) versus the dream (Neptune). Choices regarding money, relationships or self-esteem can be blurred and expanded as Neptune dissolves logic and facts. You may give up and become disappointed or pin your hopes on an illusion. The romantic dream will be distracting but ultimately hollow.
As vague choices or lovely words swirl around you, use caution. The crisis of the square is meant to draw your attention to a “leak” where resources, values or self-esteem will be undermined by unwise decisions. Neptune Rx can reveal truths if you question the shimmering illusion in front of you – look closely.
There’s potential for creativity or beauty, but to make the most of this you would have to be very conscious of the tension between fantasy versus reality. If you can avoid being blinded by the illusion (or your disillusionment) this energy could be very fruitful.

Venus
Venus/Jupiter can exaggerate what you want – there may appear to be more choices regarding a financial, relationship or value issue. And they will be exuberant and tempting. But some of those choices will be unwise, as Jupiter retrograde asks you to review before you say “yes.” And Venus’ inconjuncts to the South Node and Saturn Rx insist that a rule/limit from the past will narrow your choices. So really, you may only have one, viable option. The brakes will be applied and that issue from the past will not be ignored.
Uranus
Uranus/Vesta adds urgency to an area of focus. Vesta is the ultimate focus/sacred flame, and Uranus suggests a sudden shot of devotion; an all-or-nothing, extreme jolt that clarifies what has the most value (Taurus). This will include old values/resources/habits being blown away.
The sextile to BML suggests this will involve some taboo, possibly magical/transcendent expressions of female energy. One of Lilith’s manifestations is the witch, and this is emphasized in Pisces, the sign that lies beyond reality. Here we have a wake-up call about what/who is essential, even if she’s “forbidden.”
Vesta is purity and BML is dark, raw sexuality (the prostitute, the other woman, the woman who belongs to no one). When they harmonize, what’s socially forbidden becomes a path to personal enlightenment and discipline (Vesta is untouchable in her own way – she also belongs to no one but herself).
Add Uranus’s liberation, and you have a whole new set of values and security at your fingertips.
Summary
So, if we consider Uranus/Vesta/BML and the aspects to Venus (also female energy and the ruler of Taurus) a picture emerges- you’re questioning what sounds/looks good regarding love and values. Is it hollow? At the same time, there’s one, undeniable choice. You’re not stuck in the past, but you are paying attention to what came before so you don’t make the same mistakes. Or maybe there’s an ongoing responsibility/tradition that still has value.
Either way, Uranus/Vesta in Taurus insists that part of this is about devoting yourself to a new goddess – a new expression of female energy/values (whether you’re a man or woman) who cracks the Saturn whip.

June 13th, 2019: Venus in Gemini Sextile Chiron

Venus in Gemini sextile Chiron in Aries (5 deg)
There’s more than one way to deal with the wound, as long as you keep it light. Venus in Gemini is the multi-layered social interaction or new understanding of what’s beautiful. If you open your eyes and talk about what you want (or listen to what they want) you’ll discover empathy for what hurts.
This is a gentle influence – not heavy or emotionally charged. You touch on what hurts and then move away. Perhaps you return from a different angle, then move away again. At the same time, Chiron adds a bit of texture to Venus’ sometimes-superficial approach as the suggestion of awkwardness or fear adds a layer of attraction.
Maybe you can even muster a smile – this does not invalidate the pain.

Waxing Trine between the Libra Moon and Gemini Sun (21 deg)
Venus in Gemini opposite Ceres Rx in Sagittarius (4 deg)
Venus in Gemini square Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (4 deg)
Mars in Cancer conjunct the North Node (17 deg)
The Waxing Trine allows you to blend relationship prompts with choices and new information. Excellent for socializing, sharing with others and making the natural choice regarding social interactions. The exchange of information should move effortlessly and in a balanced way.
The Mars/North Node conjunction adds to the encouragement, as actions based on needs and emotions carry you forward. Stepping away from the past and into an area that’s satisfying and speaks to you on a gut level is emphasized – do not be afraid to do what feels right even if you can’t articulate it.
However, continuing the story from yesterday’s Ceres/BML square, we see Venus in Gemini opposing Ceres and squaring Lilith. Different facets of female energy are at odds – the mother (Ceres) the taboo woman (BML) and the more familiar/typical expression of femininity (Venus). Choices about relationships and/or expressing your female identity are in flux. None of the choices will be easy, as they oppose an area of nurturing and trigger a crisis around undermining or “unacceptable” female sexual energy. Maybe two women or two sides yourself will be involved (Gemini means duality).
And yet, the choices must be (carefully) explored and the options weighed. Venus rules the Libra Moon, so the Waxing Trine can help with this. Choose what comes naturally and go in the direction that seems to be unfolding most easily. You won’t be able to make everyone happy, but that’s not what this is about.
At the same time, keep in mind that Mars over the North Node means you are moving forward. You’re doing it differently this time. Break those old habits.
