Good day friend. There’s an uncomfortable shift on Tuesday October 1, where values, relationships and/or money situations can be affected by a slippery Venus/Pluto square. In the attempt to gain control of personal desires; the intensity of Tuesday’s Scorpio Moon will strengthen powerful cravings. Something (or someone) is bound to be cut loose as a […]

September 26th, 2019: Sun Opposite Chiron And Mercury Square Pluto
Photo by it’s me neosiam from Pexels
Libra Sun opposite Chiron RX in Aries (3°)
Mercury in Libra square Pluto RX in a Capricorn (20°)
The theme today is harmony challenged by uncomfortable truths. Don’t expect things to go smoothly, but there will be extreme valueI in the tension.
The Sun illuminates Chiron’s pain or vulnerability but you may experience it through another. The opposition is an aspect of projection and Libra strongly emphasizes protection. So this could involve projected wounds, or seeing your pain reflected in the eyes of another. Social or relationship purposes can be compromised by wounds that are not owned. Feeling like a victim (everyone is out to get you) is a possibility.
On the plus side, there is a chance to access empathy through another’s difficulties. Keep an eye out for unbalanced situations where a wound becomes the main purpose. Consider if there is a way to correct that imbalance by courageously confronting what hurts. Make the switch from victim to warrior.
Note that the Sun conjoined Chiron On March 22 at 1° Aries. This oppositionIs the result of what began around that date.
Mercury/Pluto will add some difficult but valuable undertones to the above. The crisis between socially acceptable words versus dark truths will create pleasant conversations with a sharp or manipulative edge. Pay attention to the tone and how someone’s words make you feel, even if that feeling seems contrary to what they’re saying. This means you’re becoming aware of the passive- aggressive or obscured desire for power/fear of losing power.
Pluto in any aspect to Mercury always reveals rich truths. The darker the truth the richer it is. This can give you more fuel to deal with the Sun/ Chiron opposition. If you stay on your toes and really listen to what’s being said, you’ll gain access to the entire picture; it will be uncomfortable but very fruitful.

September 24th, 2019: Relationships are Favoured

Mercury in Libra inconjunct Neptune RX in Pisces (16°)
Mercury in Libra sextile Jupiter in Sagittarius (17°)
Venus in Libra sextile Ceres in Sagittarius (11°)
Saturn in Capricorn trine Juno in Virgo (13°)
Mercury/Neptune is a caution to balance truth with sensitivity. What’s unspoken or suspected should be honored, but don’t allow it to undermine your objectivity when speaking with others. It can be easy to read too much into what you think the other person is saying. But the more dominant aspect of Mercury/Jupiter should counteract this with a shot of balanced wisdom and optimism. Overall, communication with others will be open minded and inclusive.
Venus/Ceres adds a smooth touch to all relationships. One-on-one exchanges will be nurturing but not smothering. This aspect suggests acceptance and objective empathy for all. This also has a light touch- no one is being forced to conform or stay.
For those who want reassurance, Saturn/Juno ensures the firm commitment. Juno in Virgo is the detailed agreement-nothing is overlooked and there is a shared desire to improve. Saturn nails it down with an official commitment or steadfast rules.
Overall, any one-on-one exchange is favoured today.

September 22nd, 2019: Mercury Square Saturn And the Nodes

Mercury in Libra square Saturn in Capricorn (13 deg)
Mercury in Libra square the Nodes in Capricorn and Cancer (14 deg)
Mercury/ Saturn is enforced correctness. Rules may restrict your ability to speak openly, forcing you to say the right thing out of fear. This is unbalanced politeness-the strict adherence to what must be said rather than what you want to say. Speaking out of turn will not be tolerated.
Incorporating Mercury’s square to the Nodes, we see that Saturn as ruler of the Capricorn South Node describes authority from the past. But a square to the Nodes means you are at a turning point -somehow you must move forward. This means choosing between the past or future. The Cancer North Node implies energy that is more emotional. So perhaps this is about a choice between speaking “properly” versus saying what you feel. Or, you may need to take responsibility for the consequences of a one- on- one exchange before you can progress to something that’s more nurturing.
Overall, it will be difficult to speak freely. But within those limits there is an important decision. What rules are you still listening to?

September 17th, 2019: Rough Patches

Mercury in Libra inconjunct Uranus Rx in Taurus (6 deg)
Venus in Libra opposite Chiron Rx in Aries (4 deg)
A difficult day for relationship harmony.
Venus in Libra loves to be loved and to have everything polished, pretty and graceful. This can mean bending over backwards to be accommodating, but the opposition to Chiron indicates that there will be socially uncomfortable moments, no matter what.
Efforts to be charming or diplomatic may fail, or end up inadvertently triggering a sore spot. Perhaps you’re hurt because someone is taking advantage or treating you unfairly. This is the time to be aware of what desires (regarding love, attention and values) you’re projecting. People don’t know what you want unless you tell them. If they can’t or won’t meet you halfway (after you’ve been open) this tells you something about them.
Adding to this, we have Mercury making a painful inconjunct to Uranus in Venus-ruled Taurus. Polite conversation will be difficult due to hard-to-pinpoint anxiety about saying the right thing. There’s a need to speak the truth/break away from what’s proper, but there can be doubts about how to do this effectively. Words may swing between the complete avoidance of anything controversial (candy-coated statements) to blunt, artless blurbs.
Expect touchy, painful moments and inappropriate words. Do your best to navigate by making allowances for rough patches.

Mercury in Libra opposite Chiron Rx in Aries (4 deg)
Mercury in Libra wants to say the nice thing and gloss over the painful stuff. The opposition to Chiron says this will be difficult, because almost anything will activate a sore spot or sound awkward. In fact, you may find that more you try to be polite, the more likely you are to say the wrong thing. Wounds/sensitivities may be projected so that everything sounds hurtful. Watch for backhanded compliments (passive-aggressive) or compliments that are genuine but rub someone the wrong way (unintentionally hurtful).
Compromise and diplomacy will not be favoured. You probably won’t see the painful words coming because Mercury in Libra is not blunt. Focus on the unpleasant issue and talk about it as best you can. Accept that the discussion will not be smooth, but Chiron shouldn’t be ignored. This could also be a good time to apologize.
