October 14th, 2019: Shadow Issues

  • Libra Sun square Pluto in Capricorn (20°)

  • Ceres in Sagittarius square Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (18°)

Continuing the energy of yesterday’s Full Moon, the Sun/Pluto square illuminates the shadow side of relationships. Power, fear of loss or jealousy will be underneath the surface. Scenarios are polite on the outside, but you’re not imagining the undercurrent of tension or intensity.

This aspect can indicate manipulative social situations or a death/crisis that completely changes the balance in a relationship. 

Ceres/BML is a crisis between the Great Mother and the Dangerous Woman. As the significator of nurturing, loss and rebirth, Ceres in Sag can mean the expansion of that cycle or hope for life in the future. But BML is a dark current that cuts across Ceres’ forward momentum-the witch/other woman/ sexual disruptor can challenge efforts to nurture or can undermine faith.  There could be a showdown between the mother and the seductress, or a crisis between mothering versus undefined sexuality.

October 10th, 2019: Support For The Pain

  • Libra Sun sextile Ceres in Sagittarius (17°)

  • Venus in Scorpio inconjunct Chiron RX in Aries (3°)

  • Pluto in Capricorn trine Juno in Virgo (20°)

Venus/Chiron means that the deeper you go regarding what you want or attract, the more vulnerable you’ll be. You may be tempted to keep what’s uncomfortable hidden while dealing with the obvious wound. Or, you may try to lose yourself in the obsession while ignoring the battle. 

This aspect can amplify the “ugliness” of taboo issues around love, values or beauty. You may feel unattractive or ashamed because of the intensity. It’s a tough one, because you have to integrate the external wound with the Shadow. The uglier you feel, the more important it is that you come to terms with this. Healing occurs when you confront what’s in the Shadow and find a way to love yourself.

Fortunately, you have a nice Sun (in Venus-ruled Libra)/Ceres aspect that brings balanced, expansive nurturing. This energy encourages you to explore the possibilities and trust that justice, idealism and hope are accessible in relationships.

Also, Pluto (ruler of Scorpio) empowers Juno’s relationship commitments by adding depth to the details of the agreement. The little things between you and another and your mutual efforts to make the partnership better/cleaner/correct can be potently effective. 

What does this mean overall? One sticky aspect and two supportive aspects mean that you can handle the uncomfortable stuff.

October 6th, 2019: Turning Point

by  •

  • Libra Sun square the Capricorn South Node/Cancer North Node  (13°)

  • Jupiter in Sagittarius square Juno in Virgo (19°)

Today is a day of turning points.

Sun square the Nodes says that you have a choice in a relationship, exchange or issue that involves balance. You can stick with the old rules/ traditions or move forward to something that’s unfamiliar but more emotionally satisfying and nurturing. 

This is been an ongoing issue since September 22nd when Mercury in Libra squared the Nodes and September 25th when Venus in Libra did the same. Mercury and Venus highlighted specific issues, but the Sun will act as a general spotlight and reminder that you still need to address an imbalance. The crisis of this difficult choice is your turning point.

Jupiter/Juno tells us more about this. Lofty ideals and expansion will challenge the specifics of a relationship agreement. There may be an urge to race past the tedious details, but that in itself can expose flaws and discontent in the relationship. Perhaps dwelling on the flaws is ruining the partnership’s future.

Juno was Jupiter’s wife in mythology. She remained faithful to him despite his constant philandering. So when this archetypal couple forms a hard aspect, we can also expect issues of freedom versus fidelity plus relationship right versus wrong. In this case, Juno is demanding a detailed account of the present (where are we now) while Jupiter would rather concentrate on the future. 

Again, this can describe the turning point in your relationships. What is unacceptable to you- the specifics or the promises/ ideals? Is compromise possible? Whose version of the truth is “correct”?

October 1st, 2019: Venus Square Pluto and Relationship Dynamics

  • Venus in Libra Square Pluto RX in Capricorn (20°)

  • Neptune RX in Pisces opposite Juno in Virgo (16°)  

  • Juno in Virgo opposite Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (16°)

Venus/ Pluto is the crisis between the surface of relationships versus darker truths underneath. The uncomfortable issues, symbolized by Pluto, will create tension that draws your awareness to inconvenient truths. This tension can manifest as obsessive attractions, jealousy or manipulative one- on- one exchanges.

The separating Neptune/Lilith conjunction challenges precise, correct relationship agreements (Juno). BML is the other woman/whore/witch and Juno is the “good wife”. These extreme symbols will be in play somehow, even if it’s someone’s distorted view of the virgin/whore dichotomy. 

In this case, Lilith is the slippery seductress and Juno is the faithful “virgin.” As outdated as these manifestations may be, they still hold power over some people. You may be surprised to discover untapped feelings of guilt or judgment toward yourself or someone else who embodies Lilith or Juno.

Along with the subterranean truth of the Venus/ Pluto square, the Lilith/Juno opposition can reveal some interesting relationship dynamics.

September 30th, 2019: Lilith and Neptune, Mars and Vesta

  • Neptune RX conjunct Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (16°)

  • Mars in Virgo trine Vesta RX in Taurus (27°)

Neptune can expand or distort Lilith’s power. The dangerous woman can become truly magical as she creates a seductive aura of glamour and transcendent sexuality. She drifts around the rules and dissolves judgments. Open yourself up to what’s potent, forbidden and cast out .

But Neptune can also dissolve self-preservation, so it can be easy to get caught up in the illusion of power that is actually undermining behaviour. BML/Neptune can deceive others and herself- if you’re using sexuality or rule-breaking energy and there’s even a hint that you’re dabbling in something destructive, be careful: Lilith/ Neptune is not who she initially appears to be.

Mars/Vesta can keep you on the right track if you tune into precise, correct actions that are focused on maintaining security. Acting with care and keeping it clean can build something good. Remind yourself of what’s solid and focus on what you know is correct. This influence can confirm what’s sacred: the real, reliable temple you’ve built. This could be your body, your home, your routine.
