  • Sun conjunct Mercury Rx in Cancer (28 deg)

  • Venus in Cancer opposite Pluto Rx in Capricorn (21 deg)

Watch for some uncomfortable truths to be revealed. Sun/Mercury is the midpoint of the Mercury’s Rx, so emotional facts/info should be illuminated. You may gain an understanding of family issues/issues from the past. Or, the return to a past conversation can reveal a truth that you feel and understand.

Venus/Pluto adds an intense conclusion to the above. Pluto unearths dark compulsions, fears, obsessions or desires that lie behind Venus’ money, relationship or self-esteem issues. There can also be a profound “death” in one of these situations. The greater the attraction (or the more powerful the ending) the greater the transformation potential. Venus in Cancer wants safety and comfort, but Pluto insists on pushing things outside the comfort zone.

Oppositions also suggest projection, so these aspects can reveal some interesting facts about what you think you want – often, someone embodies what you need to develop within yourself, and your all-consuming obsession with them is simply a reflection of this.

It may feel as if what you want or have is wrapped up in primal, childhood dynamics. Power/domination can create unbalanced relationships with one partner as parent and the other as child. The Sun/Mercury conjunction will reveal a truth about these dynamics, so keep your eyes open.

July 19th, 2019: Step Back

  • Waning Inconjunct between the Aquarius Moon and Cancer Sun (26 deg)

  • Mercury Rx re-enters Cancer (3:06 AM EDT)

The Waning Inconjunct is a reminder that after the up close and personal Full Moon eclipse (on the 16th) it’s time to detach somewhat from those results. You may want to cling to the intensity, even if the results were not in your favour. You may want to wallow or obsess. Obviously you can’t ignore those results, but if you take one step back you’ll see there’s more going on. Perhaps you need to reclaim your independence, your freedom, your individuality. Looking away will feel unnatural, but it’s necessary.

Mercury Rx’s return to Cancer adds another layer to the above. Yes, Cancer is a personal sign, but Mercury Rx is about looking/asking again. So you’re taking a closer look at the subjective issue – you’re applying logic, reasoning, intellect. You’re not just allowing the feelings to wash over you: you’re asking “Why?”

The Waning Inconjunct will give you the needed distance to view those personal/family issues in a new light.

July 18th, 2019: Venus Trine Neptune, Mercury Rx Trine Ceres

  • Venus in Cancer trine Neptune Rx in Pisces (18 deg)

  • Mercury Rx in Leo trine Ceres in Sagittarius (0 deg)

The trine from Neptune takes the edge off the Venus/Saturn opposition. After the restrictions comes a gentle release and increase in acceptance, grace or relief. Neptune expands where Saturn restricted and opens up possibilities that exist to the side of Saturn’s rules. If the Saturn opposition brought a commitment or official result, Neptune can enhance the good stuff.

Mercury makes the second of three trines to Ceres, asking you to have faith in what you’re hearing or saying. The first trine occurred on June 29th when Ceres was Rx, and now that Mercury is Rx (and Ceres is direct) you may be asking again or reconsidering what you’ve learned, involving an area of nurturing and exploration. Keep honing your message, because it can grow into something bigger.

Protecting Our Inner Circle

If we can quietly observe and reflect in what holds the most importance for our individual growth, we could find an opportunity in this cosmic process of breakdown, to break through. Areas that surround our values, relationships, love and money will be most sensitive this week, with a lonely Venus/Saturn opposition on Wednesday July 17, […]

July 12th, 2019: Approach With Confidence

  • Sagittarius Moon conjunct Ceres Rx (0 deg)

  • Sagittarius Moon trine Mercury Rx in Leo (3 deg)

  • Sagittarius Moon trine Chiron Rx in Aries (5 deg)

The Sag Moon unites with Ceres (nurturing) for enhanced awareness of expansion/adventure that’s ready for growth and nurturing. Ceres’ Rx status means the issue is being reviewed – perhaps the type of nurturing someone is receiving is being reconsidered. Mother themes are prominent – beliefs, faith or education about a mothering issue.

The Moon goes on to form a brief Grand Fire Trine with Mercury and Chiron Rx – a smooth flow of vital energy brings life to a repeat discussion/realization which helps you discuss a sore spot (Chiron). Watch for a feeling of hope and enthusiasm- there is a solution and there is something bold/creative that you can do. Note that everything the Moon is aspecting is Rx – not a new issue, but the second time around could present a breakthrough.

Talk about it and approach the issue with confidence. Try to light the fire again.
