December 16th, 2018: Deep, Quiet Commitment

by  •

  • Venus in Scorpio sextile Saturn in Capricorn (9 deg)

Here we have an aspect of profound commitment. Relationships/self-esteem/shared finances are confirmed by Saturn’s rules. And, Scorpio means the Venus issue will be serious stuff- enduring and intense.

But the sextile is a gentle connection, so the commitment (involving yourself or another) may be a wordless confirmation of what you already sensed. An unseen guarantee that settles in place without you being fully aware of it. However, its quietness does not dilute its depth – this is not light and playful energy.

This can also be the subtle manifestation of deeper resources: quiet efforts that bear fruit by revealing what’s beneath the surface. Overall, a good stabilizing energy for those who care more about quality than flashy displays.

This is the last of three sextiles, the other two occuring on September 12th (2 deg) and October 24th (4 deg-when Venus was Rx). This commitment has been gently persisting in the background for awhile. There’s a sense of endurance as something worth waiting for has finally ripened. Just remember that Venus in Scorpio demands total commitment and complete honesty about what you really want/love/are worth.

Note that this can be a commitment to self – to inner values or recognition of your Shadow.

RIP Nancy Wilson

by  • 

Intelligent, emotional and true — Nancy Wilson called herself a “song stylist”. She managed to mix irony and compassion in her interpretations seemingly effortlessly. She died today at the ripe age of 81. Listen to her caught-you-red-handed song, Guess Who I Saw Today, for an example of her ability to spin a yarn, her remarkable technique and perfect timing. Wilson was born with Venus Rising in Aries, and along with being a straightforwardly beautiful woman, this could explain the immediacy of her singing, and its pin-point precision. There’s a lot of water in this chart — Sun and Moon, plus […]

The post RIP Nancy Wilson appeared first on The Oxford Astrologer.

November 30th, 2018: Venus in Libra Opposite Uranus

  • Venus in Libra opposite Uranus Rx in Aries (29 deg)

The Venus/Uranus opposition at the final degrees of their respective signs signals an ending or result that’s been a long time coming. Uranus is retrograde, so you’ve been here before.

Venus previously opposed Uranus, but she was in Scorpio and Uranus was in Taurus (Sept 12th at 2 deg and Oct 31st at 0 deg). So the push for change/liberation is not new, but the energy has shifted. Scorpio/Taurus was about a loosening of deep control, possession or security fears. Libra/Aries is the surface reflection (the final result) of these depth charges.

Even though this is not new, Uranus can still provide a jolt. A relationship may be shaken or abruptly adjusted. An issue involving projection could hit with surprising force. Uranus provides liberation, which will also address any imbalances (Libra) that have gone unchecked.

An external trigger may deliver the jolt, but consider how this is a reflection of what’s been happening on a deeper level.

November 28th, 2018: Pivotal Relationship Issue

  • Venus in Libra inconjunct Chiron Rx in Pisces (27 deg)

  • Venus in Libra square the North Node in Cancer/South Node in Capricorn (28 deg)

Venus in Libra square the Nodes is a pivotal relationship issue. There will be a choice between sticking with old rules/limits/expressions of authority (South Node) or progressing towards something that is more intuitive, nurturing and in line with authentic needs. It may be about getting past the superficial shell of status and tuning into the real emotions.

Venus’ inconjunct to Chiron Rx indicates that this will be a touch painful. You may be tempted to gloss over a reoccurring wound (Venus also made an inconjunct to Chiron on November 3rd) but dealing with this is part of your progress towards the North Node. Chiron will make an exact trine with the North Node on December 2nd, but you can certainly make use of this energy now- move towards a place of emotional authenticity by acknowledging what hurts. In the process, you can forgive, release, heal, sooth. And this may correct an imbalance in your relationships.

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

by  •

  • 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

by  •

  • 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.
