  • Venus in Leo conjunct Juno (28 deg)

Excellent partnership aspects today, as Venus harmonizes with Pallas in Venus-ruled Libra. Relationship strategies/plans are balanced and creative, and Venus/Juno indicates a bright, bold union of love and commitment. There can be a public agreement between two people that features mutual joy, pride and power. There’s also a bit of drama – the relationship with a flourish.

These aspects are about you and another in perfect harmony. Being together increases self-expression and cooperation, as well as success. There’s a strong social facet as well – the two of you at the centre of the party or on stage.

Whether or not you’re part of a couple, consider how joining forces with another (romantically or platonically) can boost your chances of success.

  • Mercury in Leo trine Ceres in Sagittarius (2 deg)

Bold, dramatic or creative words encourage hope for the future. This is the third and final trine between Mercury in Leo in Ceres:

  • June 29th: Mercury trine Ceres Rx (1 deg)

  • July 18th: Mercury Rx trine Ceres (0 deg)

The conversation or plan may have been developing since June, and now you can confidently move ahead. Nurturing can take the form of learning, urging someone to explore what’s new or urging someone to have faith that they are special. There’s an exciting yet supportive vibe to this, as the warmth of new possibilities leads you forward. A messenger could take the form of a teacher or mentor who nurtures open self-expression and pride.

  • Venus in Leo inconjunct Saturn Rx in Capricorn (15 deg)

  • Pluto Rx in Capricorn trine Vesta in Taurus (21 deg)

Venus/Saturn adds a bit of grit to the Venus/Jupiter trine. There are certain rules or limits which cannot be ignored, and they’ll cast a shadow over what you want. You may not get everything you desire, or there will be moments when you feel less than beautiful/worthy. Although the overall vibe is bright, bountiful and beautiful, Saturn is there to remind you of a specific reality. As you bump up against that limit, acknowledge it but don’t allow it to put out your fire.

Pluto/Vesta is empowered focus on resources/security, or empowering yourself by devoting your energies to what’s essential. There can be a fixation on physical matters, and the harmony of the trine encourages you to transform an existing situation by giving it your full attention. There’s great manifestation potential here, and the key is Pluto Rx’s concentrated deconstruction and excavation of current structures. Dig deeper, redefine the rules and use this to strengthen your material security or physical stamina.

This connects back to Venus/Saturn, as Saturn rules Capricorn and Venus rules Taurus. There’s a clue on how to handle the Saturn inconjunct – use the current realities and enforced focus to your advantage.

  • Mars in Leo conjunct Juno (20 deg)

Passion and motivation fuel a relationship agreement. Commitment is based on pride in the partnership; there may be an agreement to act as one in order to succeed, gain attention or celebrate. A commitment can be based on the courage to stand at the centre of things and boldly declare yourselves.

This energy is about actively creating a union, or stepping out publicly and with loyalty. You’re more powerful as a united front.

July 31st, 2019: Mercury Direct With a Spot of Tension

  • Mercury stations direct (23 deg Cancer)

  • Mars in Leo square Vesta in Taurus (18 deg)

  • Pluto Rx in Capricorn square Pallas in Libra (21 deg)

Mercury

Mercury stationed Rx on July 7th, but on July 31st its retrograde ends at 11:57 PM EDT. Watch for clarity, progress and direct communication of all emotional (Cancer) matters. It should be easier to talk about what you need or make decisions, even if they’re saturated in subjective feelings.

Mars/Vesta

Actions (Mars) based on pride or attention will conflict with the focus (Vesta) on security. You may feel blocked from fully putting yourself out there due to rigid devotion to what’s safe and predictable. Then again, bold (or pushy) actions may conflict with saving money and preserving what’s essential. The solution to this crisis is deciding what’s important to hang onto versus what demands expression or a bit of risk.

Pluto/Pallas

Pallas in Libra is balanced strategies (usually involving a one-on-one relationship) but when she is challenged by Pluto there can be attempts to manipulate that throw off the balance. Consider where there’s pressure find a solution or if you’re obsessing about making it work/winning to the point where you shut things down. The enforced solution doesn’t benefit anyone.

July 30th, 2019: Personal and Sacred

  • Mars in Leo inconjunct Neptune Rx in Pisces (18 deg)

  • Neptune Rx in Pisces sextile Vesta in Taurus (18 deg)

Mars/Neptune shows the incompatibility between actions motivated by pride versus selfless impulses. You may be torn between wanting to push for attention when there’s a niggling suspicion that this isn’t quite enough. This can result in actions that are weakened or based in fantasy (you achieve recognition in your dreams but do nothing in the real world).

As with all inconjuncts, adjustment is key – act in the real world (in a passionate, public way) but don’t ignore the whisper of spirituality/belief. Channeled correctly, this energy is extremely creative, leading to some beautiful efforts that can trigger admiration for you, but also resonate on a purely artistic or spiritual level.

Vesta’s sextile to Neptune can help with the above, as Neptune’s impossible dream is grounded by focus (Vesta) on immediate realities: money, security, preservation. This is about reaching towards the fantasy and integrating it into your life. Vesta is the sacred flame, and Neptune elevates this – basic, physical issues (the body, your money) can become matters of divine focus (your temple) if you sanctify them with your devotion. This will require a willingness to believe that you are not trapped, that you can have more, that your dream can be made real. But also, that your security (and comfort) is pure and non-negotiable. Taurus reminds us that physical pleasure is essential, and there’s no reason why this can’t be sacred.

Both these aspects ask you to consider how you can combine the mundane with the elevated, and the highly subjective with the transpersonal.
