January 31st, 2019: Small Sacrifices and a Yod

  • Saturn in Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces (14 deg)

  • Venus in Sagittarius inconjunct Juno in Taurus (26 deg)

  • Venus in Sagittarius inconjunct North Node in Cancer (26 deg)

Saturn/Neptune

Saturn and Neptune make the first of three sextiles this year. Form (Saturn) harmonizes with what dissolves (Neptune) form for subtle but effective energy. This is the aspect for gradual changes to rules or structure. And, you can make certain dreams real.

But Saturn and Neptune together also imply some kind of sacrifice. Specifically, Saturn’s reality puts limits on Neptune’s dreams. Even though the sextile is a harmonious aspect, there will still be a small sacrifice required to get what you want. You will have to work extra hard and give something up in order to create. You will have to be patient and serene but also disciplined.

This aspect will not deliver quick results or glory/security/wealth. But if you tap into it with soft control, you can create something new (based on a pre-existing structure).

  • June 18th: Saturn Rx sextile Neptune (18 deg)

  • November 8th: Saturn sextile Neptune Rx (16 deg)

Venus

Venus in Sag is the focal point of an aspect configuration called a Yod as she makes an awkward inconjunct to the Cancer North Node and Juno in Taurus. Juno/NN (the base of the Yod) form a stable sextile with each other – set partnership agreements (Juno) will support the path forward to emotional security (North Node). But the inconjuncts to Venus means new options, lessons or opportunities (Sagittarius) will challenge this security.

With a Yod, the only way to move forward is to incorporate the focal point energy – explore new options and broaden your definitions of what’s right/acceptable in the areas of love, money or values. If you don’t incorporate what’s new, the relationship agreement you have will stagnate. Explore and have faith while maintaining your security base.

January 22nd, 2019: Crucial Messages and More Venus

  • Mercury conjunct the Capricorn South Node (26 deg)

  • Mercury in Capricorn square Pallas in Libra (26 deg)

  • Pallas in Libra square the North Node in Cancer/South Node in Capricorn (26 deg)

  • Venus in Sagittarius conjunct Jupiter (16 deg)

Mercury/Pallas

Mercury over the South Node brings a message/messenger from the past. A key person, conversation or realization involving authority or rules will emerge. Watch for the culmination of a topic that’s been growing in significance, or an official document that finalizes something.

Even if you’ve just met this person or just encountered this message, there will be something familiar here- a sense that you’ve heard this before or you’ve been waiting to hear this. This will be a very significant piece of information that will clearly define a current reality. Perhaps the line between past and present will be verbalized – this could be a formal goodbye.

However, Mercury in Capricorn squares Pallas, which squares the Nodes. A square to the Nodes indicates a key issue that’s troublesome and can block your movement forward to the Cancer North Node (an area of emotional honesty and satisfaction). Pallas in Libra is the social strategy – a solution or approach that’s designed to “win” (Pallas is about doing battle) but in polite Libra, the strategy is coated in sugar. This is social engineering and pretty words with a steel core. Winning the social/relationship battle with grace or passive-aggressive methods.

Something about these strategies needs to be addressed, because they are blocking your way forward. Maybe they’re inauthentic or outdated. Or maybe you’re not standing up for yourself (distorted Libra can be the people pleaser). The square to Mercury means the key message/messenger will draw your attention to this failing strategy. There may be tension between verbal boundaries versus being liked, or strict rules that challenge your current attempts at a social or relationship solution.

Where are your relationship strategies out of balance? Where do you need to be more authentic? What is the message from the past telling you?

Venus/Jupiter

Here is the aspect of abundance – more of what you want and love. Watch for an opportunity involving relationships, money, values and self-esteem. Optimism and a sense of adventure (Jupiter) boosts your chances of attracting (Venus) something favourable. Or, for some, this could be a moment of pure luck. It’s exuberant and asks that you have faith in love, life and yourself. Venus in Sag is about reaching into the unknown – something/someone you’ve never encountered before could be the key to a beautiful new beginning.

Remember that Jupiter is the promise, not the guarantee. In order to make the most of this, you’ll have to expand on what’s being promised. And, because Sagittarius is the sign of exploration, you’ll have to step outside your comfort zone.

Note that Venus rules Libra, so this connects to Pallas in Libra. Jupiter’s “more” does not mean “more of the same.” As you encounter this lovely gift, consider how you can change your relationship, financial or self-esteem strategies. Here’s a chance to do it differently and better.

January 9th, 2019: Liberation and Fantasy

by  •

  • Moon in Aquarius sextile Uranus in Aries (28 deg)

  • Moon Void of Course in Aquarius (28 deg 11:52 am EST)

  • Moon enters Pisces and VOC ends (2:43 pm)

  • Moon in Pisces square Venus in Sagittarius (2 deg)

Just before the Aquarius Moon goes VOC, its sextile to Uranus (ruler of Aquarius) offer a gentle shot of liberation and the need to do your own thing. This aspect will not encourage crazy or risky behaviour – rather, it’s a manageable surge of independence. You can sail through the VOC feeling good about being you with no need to answer to anyone.

As the Moon enters transcendent Pisces and squares Venus, the energy shifts to dreamy urgency – now there may be an increased desire to love, give or connect with others. Venus in Sag is still about freedom, but it’s the freedom to have what you want, with no limits. There’s always a desire for much more.

The square can make this a bit demanding and you may seek out more than is available. Too, this can be an aspect of overindulgence. It can still feel quite pleasant, but be aware that what you want may not be easily achieved or realistic.

Overall, not a grounded day as liberation shifts into fantasy. However, for some this can be quite positive if they work with the innovative and hopeful energies (fears are easily ignored).

Venus’ Transit of Sagittarius: Wanting More

by  •

Venus enters Sagittarius on January 7th, expanding possibilities for relationships, money, self-esteem and values. Exploration and optimism colour Venus-themed issues – freedom becomes important and what’s up ahead is attractive (the journey can be more appealing than the destination).

This is a transit that attracts more – you want more and you can get more. There’s a sense of adventure – who knows what might happen and isn’t that the point? This is the time to keep your eyes open and consider what might usually be “impossible”. Take a second look at the romantic prospect who’s not your type, or the source of income that’s unusual/exotic, or the situation that’s a bit outside your comfort zone but still appealing.

Of course, risk must be balanced with reward, but Venus in Sag can teach you about what you thought you wanted, or what you thought your talents/self-worth consisted of. The key is growth- saying “yes” to something bigger and better. Doing more with what you have or reaching beyond what you’ve always wanted and discovering something new that’s appealing.

Don’t limit yourself with what used to matter or what you’ve always attracted. This is the transit that encourages you to consider what lies in unexplored territory.

Here are the aspects Venus in Sag will make:

  • Jan 8th: trine Mars in Aries (11 deg)

  • Jan 20th: square Neptune in Pisces (14 deg)

  • Jan 22nd: conjunct Jupiter (16 deg)

  • Jan 25th: sextile Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (19 deg)

  • Jan 31st: inconjunct the Cancer North Node (26 deg)

  • Jan 31st: inconjunct Juno in Taurus (26 deg)

  • Feb 2nd: trine Uranus in Aries (28 deg)

  • Feb 2nd: sextile Pallas in Libra (28 deg)

  • Feb 3rd: square Chiron in Pisces (29 deg)

  • Feb 3rd: Capricorn ingress
