November 23rd, 2018: Venus in Libra Square Vesta

  • Venus in Libra square Vesta in Capricorn (26 deg)

Vesta’s rigid focus (in Saturn-ruled Capricorn) can cause tension with a relationship, financial or self-esteem issue. Venus in Libra wants harmony and balance, but the tension of the square suggests that strict concentration on what you want but don’t have (or where you don’t feel good enough) can cause an imbalance.

Today, you may be aware of a situation where you don’t feel loved/liked or where the exchange between you and another is not equal. Know that obsessing about this will increase the blockage you already feel. Consider what rules or boundaries are challenging you and see if there’s a compromise available between what you want versus what is.

For some, excessive focus on responsibility or work can create blocks in the personal life. Are you shutting someone out because of your devotion to status or tradition?

November 18th, 2018: Flow Forward

  • Waxing Trine between the Pisces Moon and Scorpio Sun (28 deg)

  • Venus in Libra inconjunct Juno Rx in Taurus (25 deg)

The Waxing Trine is a point of integration between transcendence and depth, transpersonal and intense involvement. With this flowing energy you should feel a natural “click” that allows you to move forward through a dark, consuming or powerful issue with a measure of calm. The Moon in Pisces is about allowing – what will be, will be. Notice the gentle release as events move as they are meant to, and you open yourself up to whatever comes next.

The Venus/Juno inconjunct is the third of three (September 1st and November 3rd being the first two). With this aspect, you have continually confronted a disconnect between set agreements about resources/security (Juno in Taurus) versus one partner’s desire for more equality or flexibility. Maybe one partner wanted more of a partnership while the other was content with things the way they were.

Now with this final confrontation, use the flow of the Waxing Trine to move forward. Intimacy is integrated with acceptance, and control is no longer an issue.

November 16th, 2018: Venus Direct and Mercury Retrograde

  • Venus stations direct (25 deg Libra)

  • Mercury stations retrograde (13 deg Sagittarius)

Venus direct signals forward movement for relationship, financial, social and self-esteem matters. Rx since October 5th, her direct motion in Libra will be felt strongly because she rules this sign. Watch for an imbalance to be corrected. You could feel more centered as you discover the ideal point between two options.

Venus Rx was the time to re-evaluate all Venus matters. Venus direct is the time to move forward with what you’ve learned. By now, you should have more certainty about what you want, what you’re worth and who really loves you. If this means saying goodbye, so be it.

But it’s not all straightforward. Venus stations direct in the morning (5:50 AM EST) and Mercury stations Rx in the evening (8:33 PM EST). Mercury Rx in Sag will raise questions about the story, the promise, the future or something you’ve put your faith in. But Sagittarius and Libra are in two different areas of you chart, so you should still see some progress in one area.

However, pay attention to any questions that come up, especially since Mercury almost perfects a square to Neptune Rx in Pisces just before it stations Rx. This suggests a lie, miscommunication or fake sales pitch on the horizon – you see it up ahead and may have a sense that something is not quite right. But for now, you’re stepping back and carefully reviewing your options.

Mercury direct will perfect the square with Neptune on December 24th, so that will be your chance to fully confront the lie/fantasy. The square suggests turning a corner and revealing the truth. During this retrograde, ask questions and keep your eyes open. Listen to the story, but don’t accept it blindly.

In general, Mercury Rx in Sag can impact matters involving travel, advertising, education, religion, law, publishing, faith and hope. Each question brings you closer to the truth, but first you may have to confront a loss of faith, loss of direction or challenges to wisdom. Remember – it’s the details within the big picture that matter now.

Mercury Rx will back into Scorpio on December 1st and station direct on December 6th. Mercury will re-enter Sagittarius on December 12th.

November 9th, 2018: Try Again

  • Venus Rx in Libra trine Mars in Aquarius (26 deg)

This is the second trine between Venus in Libra and Mars in Aquarius. The first (Aug 7th, 2018) occured at 1 deg when Mars was Rx. Now, Mars is direct and Venus is Rx.

The theme is similar for both trines – actions (Mars) harmonize with what you want (Venus) leading to a nice outcome. But the issue may have fluttered back and forth since August. First, you had to reconsider your actions/try again (Mars Rx). That was the key to getting a favourable result. Now, with Venus Rx, you’re reconsidering what you want or the dynamics of a relationship. Again – key to getting what you want.

Overall, this may be a somewhat frustrating issues with multiple tries and reviews. But the trine makes it easier (events should unfold naturally) and you may find that it’s worth it.

Actions work best if they are somewhat detached (Aquarius) – less focus on “must have” and more openness to whatever may happen. Keep it light. Balance (Libra) is important.

November 5th, 2018: Libra Strategies and Nurturing

by  •

  • Venus Rx in Libra conjunct Ceres (27 deg)

  • Pallas in Libra trine the Aquarius South Node (0 deg)

It’s a Libra day – look, listen and tune into the exchange of energy between you and another.

Venus Rx/Ceres can be a moment of truly balanced nurturing, or an understanding of what the other person wants. The re-evaluation of give and take in a relationship can lead to the correction of an imbalance (where one person is doing all the giving) or insight into how you can give unconditionally.

Nurturing is not an easy task. Sometimes you give when it’s not wanted. Sometimes you expect thanks and none is given. Or sometimes you want to help and you just don’t know how. This influence can address these issues, and your awareness of the dynamics between you and another will be key.

Pallas, newly into Libra, trines the South Node. An issue from the past (involving alienation, freedom or detachment) can be smoothly addressed with some balanced strategies. The solution should emerge easily – this will be about paying attention to the interplay between you and another. Check your strategies.

November 3rd, 2018: Yod to Venus Rx

  • Venus Rx in Libra inconjunct Juno Rx in Taurus (28 deg)

  • Venus Rx in Libra inconjunct Chiron Rx in Pisces (28 deg)

  • Juno Rx in Taurus sextile Chiron Rx in Pisces (28 deg)

There’s an unusual configuration in the sky today, called a Yod. It features inconjuncts, which are aspects of incompatibility.

Juno/Venus indicates incompatibility between the desire for a balanced/harmonious relationship versus the focus on one partner’s “me first” baseline needs. The agreement/commitment (Juno) does not mesh with the actual exchange. Chiron/Venus indicates incompatibility between addressing the wound versus keeping it light and happy.

But Chiron and Juno make a harmonious sextile with each other, so the fixed/predictable aspects of this agreement can be a good basis for revisiting that sore spot – it will be safe to address what hurts, if the relationship itself remains secure.

And yet, the tension of two inconjuncts pointing at Venus (making her the focal point) means a key imbalance, exchange or surface issue must be addressed. It will be quite uncomfortable. Somehow, Juno and Chiron’s energies must be integrated with Venus. A balance must be achieved between fixed security versus compromise and confronting a sensitivity versus keeping things harmonious.

Everything is Rx, so this entire issue is not new. You’re revisiting the agreement/commitment and addressing what’s out of whack. Watch for a key issue around incompatibility or unhappiness. You may be tempted to back off, but this is actually a prompt to address the issue. Yods are not fun, but if approached correctly, the payoff can be satisfying. Having said this, relationships are likely to be troublesome and awkward today.

When dealing with inconjuncts, the key is adjustment – both sides must be worked with (it’s a balancing act).

October 31st, 2018: Looking Deeper and Stepping Back

by  •

  • Third Quarter Square between the Leo Moon and Scorpio Sun (8 deg)

  • Venus Rx in Scorpio opposite Uranus Rx in Taurus (0 deg)

  • Venus Rx returns to Libra

Third Quarter Square

The Third Quarter Square brings an internal crisis, as bold, bright (possibly celebratory) energies hi-light the contrast between light and dark. Something is grabbing your attention, but you may not feel like examining the contrast it triggers. However, looking deeper or confronting the specter of loss, powerlessness or massive change is necessary. A new beginning awaits, but you can’t access it unless you’re prepared to acknowledge what’s dying (or your own Shadow issues).

Venus Rx

Adding to the above, the Venus/Uranus opposition suggests an ending or culmination that’s been in the works for awhile (you may have encountered it on September 12th, 2018 when Venus in Scorpio first opposed Uranus). A jolt of clarity, or desire for freedom, will add to the re-evaluations that Venus Rx in Scorpio has stirred up. Here’s your moment of truth.

This jolt may push you back a step or two, as Venus’ return to Libra indicates a second look at the balance between you and another, or the social balance in your life. Surface issues will be questioned – is everything really ok?

Check out my post on Venus’ transit of Libra for a more detailed look at this portion of Venus’ Rx, as well as specific aspects.

October 30th, 2018: The Turning Point

  • Mercury in Scorpio opposite Juno Rx in Taurus (29 deg)

  • Venus Rx in Scorpio square South Node in Aquarius/North Node in Leo (0 deg)

Mercury/Juno Rx raises questions about a previous contract or relationship agreement. What seemed to be set in stone may now be challenged, as someone wants to look deeper or ask uncomfortable questions. Too, this opposition could indicate the finalization of a commitment from September 28th.

Venus Rx square the Nodes adds more info to the relationship issue. The review of, or return to, an intense exploration of values, self-esteem or love beneath the surface will bring you to a major turning point – what you want/love will be the deciding factor regarding staying on the edge, remaining detached/alienated versus stepping up and claiming your place at the center. This can be the center of anything that increases your pride, power and sense of purpose. The key will be committing yourself to something that matters to you and builds your self-esteem.

It’s significant that this square is happening just before Venus Rx returns to Libra (Oct 31st) and the Nodes enter Cancer/Capricorn (November 6th). This adds emphasis to an already significant turning point, because it precedes a huge, energetic shift. This will be your last chance to address certain issues, although Venus will square the Nodes again on November 28th (from Libra). But that will involve different themes.

October 26th, 2018: New Chapter

  • Waning Inconjunct between the Gemini Moon and Scorpio Sun (3 deg)

  • Sun in Scorpio conjunct Venus Rx (3 deg)

The Waning Inconjunct adds more information to the results of the October 24th Full Moon. Additional questions, facts or choices may pop up and you’ll have to consider them. This will involve the Sun/Venus Rx conjunction, a new chapter in the Sun/Venus cycle. Here is a point of illumination regarding a relationship/money/self-esteem issue you’ve been reviewing since Venus stationed Rx (October 5th). The Sun/Venus cycle itself goes back to the last conjunction, on January 9th, 2018 at 18 deg Capricorn.

The start of this new chapter will be marked by awkward or inconvenient questions, but they will be an unavoidable symptom of Scorpio’s deep dive and reevaluation. And, the questions will be part of the entrance into a different chapter or era – can you feel that you’re starting something new? Venus is still Rx, but the energy has shifted.
