  • Mercury conjunct Jupiter in Sagittarius (9 deg)

  • Mercury/Jupiter in Sagittarius sextile Vesta in Aquarius (9 deg)

  • Venus in Scorpio trine Neptune in Pisces (13 deg)

A day for more, with energies that encourage you to rise above anything petty or restrictive. Note that these influences are given extra oomph by today’s Winter Solstice (the Sun’s Capricorn ingress).

Mercury/Jupiter

Mercury/Jupiter can be a high point for wisdom, insight, the sales pitch or good news. Mercury’s info and communication are expanded by Jupiter, blending facts with ideals and details with optimism.

Excellent for learning, delivering a message (especially one that features new information) or seeing the whole story along with the details. This is all powered up by Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius, for extra expansion. This conjunction previously occurred on November 27th (at 4 deg) when Mercury was Rx. At that time, you may have encountered the same issue but had to deal with questions or delays. Now the questions have been answered and the delay has been lifted – you can surge ahead with what you know.

Note the sextile to Vesta (devotion) which adds focus on an unusual or innovative (Aquarius) area. This can truly be a moment where you break through a mental/verbal barrier or experience a leap of understanding.

Venus/Neptune

Venus/Neptune continues the theme of openness, as relationships/money/self-esteem/values harmonize with Neptune’s compassion and dreams. What you want/love has depth (Scorpio) and transcendence (Neptune) for an intensely romantic, creative or giving influence. There’s more of what you want to go around, although it’s not all about you (and you’ll be fine with that). Neptune increases Venus in Scorpio’s flow of love/value/desire while adding a touch of refined creativity or selflessness – the trine gives it a natural flow (what you want or want to give will unfold easily, if it’s meant to be).

In certain cases, if this energy is distorted, Neptune might enable the slide into something addictive or unhealthy (you want it even though it’s bad for you). Use the Mercury/Jupiter conjunction to get a full understanding of what’s going on – there will be no excuses.

December 12th, 2018: Moving Forward With Insight

  • Waxing Sextile between the Aquarius Moon and Sagittarius Sun (20 deg)

  • Sagittarius Sun inconjunct Juno Rx in Taurus (20 deg)

  • Aquarius Moon square Juno Rx in Taurus (20 deg)

  • Mercury enters Sagittarius

Waxing Sextile

The Waxing Sextile urges you to step forward, as innovation blends with exploration and optimism. This is lively, hopeful energy – anything goes and it’s all possible. The future is wide open.

But there’s a small snag – the Sun and Moon make hard aspects to Juno Rx, which means the urge for freedom and progress will clash with a fixed relationship agreement. Taurus wants stability and this is essential for a commitment. But it’s also time for an injection of fresh potential. Juno is Rx which means the agreement is under review – what needs to change and can anything be preserved?

Mercury in Sagittarius

Mercury returns to Sagittarius. Mercury first entered this sign on October 31st, signalling new ideas and big stories. But Mercury’s Rx (on November 16th) and retreat from Sagittarius on December 1st meant there were questions about the story/promise. Now the questions have been answered and the you can look at the truth in a new light (perhaps a whole new truth).

0 to 13 deg Sag is part of Mercury’s “shadow zone” (the degrees it passed over when it was Rx) so you may be revisiting repeat issues until December 24th/25th, but there should be a sense of greater freedom and perspective. The conversation can now move forward with fresh insight.

Consider how this can be applied to any fixed/stubborn relationship issues indicated by Juno Rx. Is there a new way to continue the conversation? Can the agreement be reframed?

See this post for a complete list of Mercury’s aspects in Sag.

December 11th, 2018: Mercury in Scorpio Inconjunct Uranus

by  •

  • Mercury in Scorpio inconjunct Uranus Rx in Aries (28 deg)

Mercury in Scorpio wants to keep the secrets or look deeper as a way of gaining control, but Uranus insists that it’s time for what’s hidden to come out. This can result in impatience, anxiety or ideas that are expressed with more force than anticipated. Scorpio is a Fixed sign and Uranus in Aries insists on change, no matter what. The result can be uncompromising, verbal slaps.

As always, the key with the inconjunct is to make an adjustment that incorporates both sides. Privacy and personal boundaries must be respected but it’s also time for some open conversation. It will be difficult to say it nicely (communication will be shocking no matter how the idea is phrased) but awareness of the power of what’s being revealed can help.

What you learn or say will have a jarring impact – prepare for this.

This aspect was first encountered on December 2nd when Mercury was Rx, so you may be revisiting an issue from that date.

Life will begin to look more grand and plentiful again, as Mercury (thoughts, communications, journeys) exits probing Scorpio on Wednesday December 12 , and enters the philosophical […]

December 9th, 2018: Chiron Direct Trine Mercury

by  •

  • Chiron stations direct (27 deg Pisces)

  • Mercury in Scorpio trine Chiron in Pisces (27 deg)

Chiron direct signals progress with a wound or vulnerability. Chiron stationed Rx in Aries on July 5th and backed into Pisces on September 25th, so since these dates you have been dealing with old hurts. Perhaps issues you didn’t want to confront.

Chiron direct means the trip down memory lane is over and you can progress. But in order to do that you must acknowledge the wound before you can release it. Here to help is a trine from Mercury in Scorpio – deep honesty, a look at secrets/shadow issues or perhaps an intimate conversation. This is your guide through the pain, and the trine means it should happen naturally – the words should come easily.

Mercury previously trined Chiron on December 4th (when Mercury was Rx) so this topic is not new. And this is all part of the Grand Water Trine (including the Cancer North Node) that’s been active since December 2nd. Communication and information (Mercury) are the keys that will unlock the flow.

Maybe this is the time you apologize, say goodbye, acknowledge a release, forgive yourself or get honest about a weakness. Mercury in Scorpio speaks the deepest truths.
