  • Mercury in Leo square Uranus Rx in Taurus (6 deg)

Here we have surprising or disruptive information. Things are said as a response to the crisis (square) of shock or impatience – Mercury in Leo is public words, and what’s said publicly may rely on shock value for attention. Or, this can be a violent effort to openly express something. This is the loud and jarring idea that will not be repressed.

Too, this can be moment of creative, social or romantic inspiration that opens your eyes to a surprising truth. Lots of drama here, so be prepared for strong reactions. Keeping in mind that Mercury is separating from a trine with Chiron, consider how this can address a painful issue. There could be an awkward truth made public. But the spotlight enables healing because sometimes it’s better to get it out in the open.

  • Mercury in Leo trine Ceres in Sagittarius (2 deg)

Bold, dramatic or creative words encourage hope for the future. This is the third and final trine between Mercury in Leo in Ceres:

  • June 29th: Mercury trine Ceres Rx (1 deg)

  • July 18th: Mercury Rx trine Ceres (0 deg)

The conversation or plan may have been developing since June, and now you can confidently move ahead. Nurturing can take the form of learning, urging someone to explore what’s new or urging someone to have faith that they are special. There’s an exciting yet supportive vibe to this, as the warmth of new possibilities leads you forward. A messenger could take the form of a teacher or mentor who nurtures open self-expression and pride.

Do you remember the distraction that happened a few months ago? What we imagined to be our purpose,… where we thought we were going… and the rude intrusion that fell onto our path; was cosmically guiding us onto another road. Since this awkward sense of footing, we’ve been learning how to get back on our […]

August 11th, 2019: Mercury Into Leo, Jupiter Direct and Uranus Rx

by  •

  • Mercury re-enters Leo (3:45 PM EDT)

  • Jupiter stations direct in Sagittarius (14 deg)

  • Uranus stations Rx in Taurus (6 deg)

If you’ve been waiting for the moment to pick up where you left off, this is it.

After its Rx into Cancer, Mercury returns to Leo. This can reactivate issues from June 26th (Mercury’s first ingress) but now you can move ahead with the bold plans, public words or creative idea. What was left hanging when Mercury stationed Rx will be completed.

See this link for the complete of dates and degrees.

And Jupiter stations direct, continuing the forward momentum. Expansion, exploration, growth or rewards that were put on hold when Jupiter stationed Rx (April 10th) will continue. For some, this means the time out is over. For others, a last chance to pursue a promise/ opportunity or learn as much as they possibly can (Jupiter will exit Sag for Capricorn on Dec 2nd).

However, Uranus will station Rx, which indicates delays in or a concentrated focus of the massive upgrade to resources and habits. The current is still flowing forward (with Jupiter and Mercury) but new sources of income, new values or habits are ready to be reviewed before the change continues. Nonetheless, this is not an excuse to keep waiting.

Uranus Rx will take you back to 2 deg Taurus, where it will station direct on Jan 2nd, 2020. This means if you have anything from 2 to 6 deg of the Fixed or Earth signs, get ready for a significant repeat hit of Uranus. 2 to 6 deg of the Water signs will also get a repeat hit, but not as noticeably.

Wondering how Uranus’ transit of Taurus might apply to you? I’ve written a 30-page ebook that features descriptions of this transit by house, as well as an intro that lays out all the dates and degrees.  Click here to purchase and download.

You must have have an accurate time of birth to know what house in your chart Uranus is moving through.

July 31st, 2019: Mercury Direct With a Spot of Tension

  • Mercury stations direct (23 deg Cancer)

  • Mars in Leo square Vesta in Taurus (18 deg)

  • Pluto Rx in Capricorn square Pallas in Libra (21 deg)

Mercury

Mercury stationed Rx on July 7th, but on July 31st its retrograde ends at 11:57 PM EDT. Watch for clarity, progress and direct communication of all emotional (Cancer) matters. It should be easier to talk about what you need or make decisions, even if they’re saturated in subjective feelings.

Mars/Vesta

Actions (Mars) based on pride or attention will conflict with the focus (Vesta) on security. You may feel blocked from fully putting yourself out there due to rigid devotion to what’s safe and predictable. Then again, bold (or pushy) actions may conflict with saving money and preserving what’s essential. The solution to this crisis is deciding what’s important to hang onto versus what demands expression or a bit of risk.

Pluto/Pallas

Pallas in Libra is balanced strategies (usually involving a one-on-one relationship) but when she is challenged by Pluto there can be attempts to manipulate that throw off the balance. Consider where there’s pressure find a solution or if you’re obsessing about making it work/winning to the point where you shut things down. The enforced solution doesn’t benefit anyone.

July 24th, 2019: What Really Matters

by  •

  • Last Quarter Square between the Taurus Moon and Leo Sun (1 deg)

  • Mercury Rx in Cancer conjunct Venus (26 deg)

The Last Quarter Square can see you questioning what’s showy/obvious as more solid (and perhaps boring things) nudge your awareness. What you can rely on, or what you already have, is worth taking note of – the contrast between this and what’s shouting for attention can reveal important questions about your financial security or values. Back to basics is important.

Mercury Rx conjunct Venus (which rules Taurus) hi-lights the question of values, money or self-esteem. Taking a second look at what you want and need, or revisiting a message/messenger from the past can uncover beneficial information. This aspect can deliver good news, but in the context of the Third Quarter Square, it will also involve deeper questions about what you want/love. This is about more than pleasant words – there’s a clarification of what really matters. If you’re having an important conversation, choose your words carefully for maximum emotional resonance. Go for quiet attraction over drama.
