  • Waxing Sextile between the Aries Moon and Aquarius Sun (21 deg)

  • Mercury in Aquarius square Juno in Taurus (29 deg)

  • Juno enters Gemini

The Waxing Sextile encourages you to start something new. It’s time to step into uncharted territory or break a couple of rules, but no one is going to push you. The opportunity is there and it may seem inconsequential, but don’t overlook it. Take one step forward and recognize how natural it feels.

This step forward can help you deal with the Mercury/Juno square. Mercury’s unconventional ideas/words will clash with Juno’s fixed partnership agreement. One person may be ready for something new while the other person wants things to remain as they are.

Well, it’s time for change and this is illustrated by Juno’s Gemini ingress, a few hours after this square. Juno into Gemini indicates that agreements and commitments can become more flexible as multiple options unfold. There’s more than one way to commit and open communication (Gemini is ruled by Mercury) will be key.

However, the tension with Mercury will continue as it enters Pisces on this day and (due to its Rx) repeats the square with Juno on March 24th and April 14th. More choices indicate that there’s more to discuss, but also more to disagree about. Accept that this will be an ongoing issue until April and be prepared to keep talking.

February 9th, 2019: A Day to be Honest

  • Sun in Aquarius conjunct Black Moon Lilith (20 deg)

  • Mars in Aries square the Capricorn South Node/Cancer North Node (26 deg)

  • Mercury in Aquarius sextile Uranus in Aries (29 deg)

  • Mercury in Aquarius trine Pallas in Libra (29 deg)

Sun/BML carries forward themes from the February 4th New Moon: the outsider/taboo woman is in the spotlight. This energy illuminates issues of independence, alienation or power from being on the outside, all in the context of gender and sexual issues. The Sun can empower and add confidence, encouraging you to express a side of yourself that others may find shocking.

Mars’ square to the Nodes suggests that actions/anger will bring you to a turning point: will you stick with the old rules/repression (South Node) or will you move towards a place that honours your needs (North Node). Along with Sun/BML, this strongly favours honest expression of what’s passionate and vulnerable. This is not about lowering the hammer or trying to control all outcomes. The path forward is the Cancer North Node, which suggests strength in feeling and empathy.

Mercury’s aspects can help, as the sextile to Uranus encourages courageous free speech and the trine to Pallas indicates that this can actually support a social or relationship strategy. Despite the Uranus/Pallas opposition (an end or disruption to a relationship dynamic) Mercury’s harmonious aspects say that some cool, innovative ideas can smooth over any bumps. Change has arrived and a polite image or association will be disrupted. But if the words are delivered with calm detachment and logic others may see your point.

February 7th, 2019: No Going Back

  • Sun in Aquarius sextile Jupiter in Sagittarius (18 deg)

  • Mercury in Aquarius sextile Mars in Aries (25 deg)

  • Uranus in Aries opposite Pallas in Libra (29 deg)

Sun/Jupiter delivers buoyant energy that encourages you to have faith in something unique (including yourself). It’s ok to stand out, be yourself or take a risk, and judgements should be almost non-existent. Aquarius is very open-minded and Jupiter (in positive aspect) is all about benevolence.

Mercury/Mars adds to the above with assertive but not pushy words. The harmony of the sextile adds Mars’ aggressiveness in a manageable way, encouraging outspoken information that is delivered in an acceptable manner. Combined with Sun/Jupiter, today’s influences favour exploration, the communication of fresh ideas standing up for yourself with easy confidence.

However, Uranus (ruler of Aquarius) opposite Pallas does suggest that liberating moves will trigger some imbalances. Pallas in Libra’s polite social strategies will be upended, or even abruptly abandoned. Not a deal-breaker, but consider if any relationship plans, compromises or solutions have outlived their usefulness.

Note that this opposition (a culmination) takes places at 29 degrees (the final degree). This strongly points to the end of a social issue – you may be liberated or surprised, but either way there’s no going back. If this makes you uneasy, know that Jupiter’s influence suggests that this is a good thing.

February 4th, 2019: Mercury Conjunct Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius

  • Mercury in Aquarius conjunct Black Moon Lilith (20 deg)

Emphasizing the disruptive message of today’s New Moon , Mercury/BML gives Lilith a voice. The energy is clear, truthful and detached – you can step back from Lilith’s anger (at being an outsider) and simply observe the eye-opening facts about this situation.

A bit of detachment can help immensely when delivering BML’s message. She can be so dark (especially when dealing with rejection or women’s victimization) that what comes out is raw and full of rage: a howl. No one hears the message because they’re too frightened or repelled. And this can include you if you’re glimpsing a part of yourself that you’d rather not see.

But under this influence there’s absolute clarity and just enough chill that her realizations/words will make a direct hit. What you learn or communicate may not be pretty, but it will be the truth and it will be liberating.

Mercury/BML says that you don’t have to follow anyone’s rules but your own. But, you also need to take an unblinking look at your darker impulses (jealousy, rage, revenge). Remember that Lilith was exiled from the Garden – she’s powerful but part of her energy comes from anger at being rejected. Today may help you come to terms with being on the outside, in some way.

January 29th, 2019: A Flash of Clarity

  • Sun conjunct Mercury in Aquarius (9 deg)

  • Mars in Aries sextile Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (19 deg)

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

The Sun/Mercury conjunction is a “Full Moon” phase in the Sun/Mercury cycle – a superior conjunction that delivers an answer or result. In Aquarius, we can expect it to be surprising, clear and possibly disruptive. A light will be shone on all matters involving the collective and your relationship to society.

The last Sun/Mercury conjunction occurred on November 27th, 2018 at 5 deg Sagittarius, when Mercury was Rx. This was an inferior conjunction- the “New Moon” part of the cycle and a new beginning. What was introduced at that time may be connected to the results you see today.

The Mars/BML sextile is a harmonious blend of male energy (Mars) and the dangerous, rebellious woman. She is energized by Mars, which could mean she uses male energy/sexual energy to her advantage. Or, she uses conflict and anger to power her forward (smoothly), drawing the collective’s attention to her taboo issues. Uranus adds oomph to Vesta’s focus on independence and liberation- Uranus (ruler of Aquarius) adds gentle encouragement to the devotion of whatever’s on the outside.

Combined with Sun/Mercury, today’s influences all favour the outsider, the rebel or the detached observer. Today is an excellent day to gain clarity and perspective on a difficult issue because emotions will be less pronounced than logic. Stepping outside the lines is a possibility, with innovative flashes and surges of quirky or shocking energy.
