Pallas and Chiron unite creative wisdom with wounds. Here is a prime opportunity to apply a solution (not just a band aid) to an area of difficulty. This won’t involve pure logic – intuition will be crucial. The Sun will bring this situation to life, and activate the sore spot. Watch for a pattern – how does the wound connect to other areas of your life?
Having said this, know that the Sun is applying to a square with Saturn in Sagittarius (at 27 degrees) exact on March 17th. There will be restrictions, and the totality of healing may be limited. Meaning, this is not a magic wand – scars and aches will remain. Or, the necessary solution will be painful. But limits will force you to concentrate on what you can heal. What you must heal. Saturn=the work you have to do. Don’t discount the effectiveness of Pallas/Chiron; if you’re backed into a corner, you’ll have wisdom at your disposal.
Venus Rx/Juno raise questions about freedom and values in committed partnerships. The rules of the contract between you and another will be challenged. One partner may feel repressed. The key issue will be how a newly emerging version of self creates tension within a relationship: change is inevitable.
Mercury moves out of Pisces where he hasn’t exactly been complaining, but rather trudging along with a soulful no-one understands me look on his face. I’m not sure about you, but things have been happening when Mercury has been in Pisces,…

Mercury (thoughts, communications, journeys) exits from the comforting seas of Pisces on Monday March 6, to dash through the hot sands of Aries. What has flooded our view with a foggy mist of confusion will dramatically shift. As sensitivities drain, […]
The late Alexander McQueen said that he wanted people to feel afraid of the women who wore his clothes. His shows were legendary: shocking, emotional, Gothic, visceral — absolutely exquisite. In 1995’s The Birds — inspired by Hithcock’s movie — models stumbled down the catwalk, dresses torn and tire-marked as if they’d been run over. In 1999’s No. 13, the finale is a model being spray-painted by robots. The violence and the vulnerability (Pluto opposite Moon, Venus in Aries) were more or less explicit in every show. “People find my things sometimes aggressive. But I don’t see it as aggressive. I see it […]

As we move through the recent dust storm from the solar eclipse, an opportunity exists this week… to quietly observe the tattered remains of our surroundings. As old growth is rejuvenated, freshly planted seeds also begin to sprout; creating a fresh perspective for new starts with the complimentary aspects between Sun (ego), Mercury (thoughts, communications) and Pluto (transformation). Venus Retrograde. As we […]
