November 22nd, 2019: Saturn Trine Vesta

  • Saturn in Capricorn and trine Vesta RX in Taurus (17°)

This is the second of three trines between Saturn and Vesta. Saturn is limits and structure. Vesta is ultimate focus and devotion. When the two harmonize in Earth signs you get an absolute focus on something real. 

This is prime manifestation energy, but you must apply discipline and patience. What you’re trying to create has a very good chance coming into being, but it will not be quick or easy. Rules and maturity are integrated with your focus on what you’re slowly and steadily building up. This will probably involve material resources or physical habits. 

If you look at the dates below, you’ll see that you are now in the thick of the manifestation process. This is not a time of conclusions-you’re still working towards the final product. Keep striving and keep your eyes on the final goal. It’s very important that you focus on your priorities. 

Vesta RX (retrograde) is excellent for reconfirming your devotion to what you want. Meaning, remind yourself of what’s absolutely sacred to your self -preservation. If necessary, go back and strengthen your commitment.

November 20, 2019: Mercury Direct

by  •

  • Mercury in Scorpio stations direct (11° at 2:11 PM EST)

  • Chiron RX in Aries square Ceres in Capricorn (1 °)

Mercury direct gives you the go -ahead regarding issues that have been delayed, reviewed or questioned since October 31st. The in-depth examination or exposure of secrets is now over- it’s time to move forward with what you know (and that includes speaking out, if necessary).

Chiron/Ceres triggers some difficult dynamics around rigid or traditional nurturing. Ceres is about mother’s nurturing and the cycle of life, loss and rebirth. Attempts to parent someone could bring out painful dynamics as they struggle to maintain their independence. Nurturing can be used as a tool to control, even if this is not done consciously. Or, a defined crisis point in the cycle of life and loss can be very uncomfortable-understand that this cycle cannot be controlled, and that is perhaps the most painful part. 

If you’re confronting this crisis, use Mercury’s direct motion to advance the conversation or your inner knowledge.

November 17th, 2019: Waning Water Trine

  • Waning Trine between the Cancer Moon and Scorpio Sun (24°)

  • Uranus RX in Taurus inconjunct Pallas in Sagittarius (3°)

The Waning Trine offers a smooth flow between comfortable emotions and deeper issues. What’s intense or taboo can be shared safely with others. This energy is intuitive rather than logical-feel your way through the moment and allow emotional intimacy to unfold naturally.

Uranus/Pallas is a small but awkward point of tension between new and expansive strategies (Pallas) versus disruptions (Uranus) to what you’re trying to preserve. Sudden or enforced liberation from stagnant security habits can result in impulsive strategies or fear of exploration. Don’t allow anxiety to derail a bigger pattern or solution that’s starting to emerge.

November 16th, 2019: Yod To Venus In Sagittarius

by  • 

Yod.jpg

  • Cancer Moon inconjunct Venus in Sagittarius (18°)

  • Vesta RX in Taurus inconjunct Venus in Sagittarius (18°)

  • Cancer Moon sextile Vesta RX in Taurus (18°)

The above aspects make a configuration called a Yod. The harmonious sextile between the Moon and Vesta creates a stable base that’s rooted in the focus (Vesta) on habits (Taurus) and a familiar, comfortable environment (Cancer).

But the Moon and Vesta both made awkward inconjuncts to Venus in Sag-a new, slightly risky and tempting opportunity may distract you from your focus and make you feel uncomfortable. So there is a struggle to maintain that comfortable status quo even though something exotic beckons. The results can manifest as discord between what you want versus what you need.

The key with a Yod is to use the focal planet as a point of integration, because the focal plan is your task. The issues it represents will be prominent but difficult. Venus is the focal planet here, so what’s new and expansive must be integrated into what’s familiar. These will involve Venus themes- money, relationships, what you want, what you’re are attracted to, your values. There will be discomfort, security fears and anxiety because the Yod is a challenging configuration. The “target” (whatever Venus represents) will not respond to neediness or fear. Use the comforts that you know are real and sacred as a solid foundation, then reach upwards and outwards while keeping your feet planted.

November 15th, 2019: Ceres Into Capricorn

by  •

James Abbott McNeill Whistler

  • Ceres enters Capricorn (11:33 PM EST)

Visible or traditional signs of nurturing are important with this transit: results must be successful and the type of nurturing is focused and disciplined rather than warm and fuzzy. This is the parental figure who tells you what to do for your own good.

Boundaries are important: the care and feeding of a person or situation is not unconditional. In some cases, nurturing may be tied to status or pure obligation.

Regarding Ceres’ cycle of care, loss and rebirth, this transit can define specific endings or beginnings. Responsibility and maturity will be emphasized: there are strong parental overtones here, whether or not you have a child. 

During this transit, consider the life cycle that you are responsible for. This could be another person, a creative project or self-care (Ceres is associated with food). Perhaps you are being encouraged to take a look at how your parents cared for you and if that role is now reversed. Capricorn asks you to get real about responsibilities, parental history or a possible ending.

Ceres will exit Capricorn for Aquarius on January 31, 2020.
