The Sun conjoins Mercury in Scorpio, at 4 degrees. Clarity pierces the shadows, revealing secrets or additional layers. This superior conjunction may be connected to September 12th’s inferior conjunction at 20 degrees Virgo (when Mercury was Rx). The facts that were illuminated then are peeled back now. A richer understanding is achieved.

This connects to Venus in Sagittarius’ square to the Mercury-ruled North Node in Virgo/South Node in Pisces, at 11 degrees. Venus in Sag triggers a point of tension. The restless desire to expand or take an emotional/financial leap may bring you to a crossroads. The North Node and Mercury in Scorpio say the way forward involves carrying the facts to their ultimate conclusion. The time for vagueness or escapism is over. If you’re going to jump in, make sure you know exactly how deep the waters are, what you really want, and the potential consequences. No excuses. 

Mars in Capricorn makes a sextile to Chiron Rx in Pisces, at 21 degrees. Quiet healing is achieved with sober, determined actions. Doing what needs to be done, and doing it with focused efficiency, will move you along nicely. Disciplined actions carry you over awkward patches. This will happen so smoothly that one else may notice. But you will. Tackle the sore spot and keep marching forward.

Venus’ Transit of Sagittarius: What If It’s Going To Be Ok?

Venus’ Sagittarius ingress begins on October 18th. After the exploration of what lay beneath relationship, financial and self-esteem issues, she reaches out and up. The exploration continues, but now the search for new truths and new possibilities takes you over the horizon.

This transit urges you to have faith that something better is coming. Love will improve and grow. What you want may actually be out there, and you can afford it. Beauty lies in the glow of promise that you can see…just over there. If you don’t have faith that things will improve, that things will be ok, you’ll never get out of bed. And you can choose to not have faith. To believe in nothing. You can sit this one out, because sometimes it’s easier to be hopeless. Hope leaves you open to pain. 

But…

…for those who want to progress, you have to move on. You have to take that risk and start believing again. Even a rock solid relationship or value system will stagnate if there’s no expansion. And for sure…the pain of an eviscerating love or the abyss of zero self-esteem will remain magnetically fresh if you don’t move forward. You have to make room for something new, even if you’re not certain that you’ll achieve it. With this transit, the cliché about the journey being more important than the goal is true. What you learn along the way is what triggers growth.

Venus will be in mutual reception with Jupiter in Libra. This adds an extra layer of optimism, as Venus and Jupiter strengthen each other. Partnership issues will be key- new ways to cooperate, new people to meet, new things to learn about a partner you’ve been with for many years. For those who’ve been dancing the same, painful relationship dance, these influences can open your eyes to different ways of connecting. Maybe you don’t have to play the role of ____. That’s the core of Jupiter/Sag’s optimism – you are given a broader perspective, which encourages you to try something different. Sag is a Mutable sign – truth is not carved in stone. The downside is “flexible” honesty. The upside is busting out of unhealthy truths you’ve been telling yourself. 

Who knows where this might lead?

The Venus/Jupiter sextile (October 26th) will be an important date. Another key date will be Venus’ conjunction with Saturn, on October 29th – the finish line, reality check or formal commitment.  

Here are the aspects Venus in Sagittarius will make:

  • Oct 25th: square Neptune Rx, 9 deg Pisces
  • Oct 26th: sextile Jupiter, 10 deg Libra
  • Oct 27th: square the Virgo/Pisces Nodes, 11 deg
  • Oct 29th: conjunct Saturn, 14 deg
  • Nov 3rd: sextile Pallas, 19 deg Aquarius
  • Nov 4th: square Chiron Rx, 21 deg Pisces
  • Nov 5th: trine Uranus Rx, 21 deg Aries
  • Nov 7th: trine Ceres Rx, 24 deg Aries
  • Nov 11th : Capricorn ingress

Venus in Sagittarius…

by  • 

  Venus is about to move out of steely and intense Scorpio into Sagittarius. Sagittarius is associated with exploration beyond your boundaries- and finding pleasure in that. Sure this could mean planning a holiday or taking a holiday, but it…

October 17th, 2016: Venus in Scorpio Aspects Vesta and Ceres, Pallas Stations Direct

Venus in Scorpio trines Vesta, at 29 degrees Cancer, and makes an inconjunct to Ceres Rx, at 29 degrees Aries. The focus on what you love will deepen, and the flow may become almost obsessive. The greater the intensity of devotion, the greater the tension between this and something independent that’s being nurtured.

Vesta and Ceres are squaring each other (this aspect was exact on October 16th), triggering a crisis between birth/rebirth (Ceres) and devotion (Vesta). Focus in one area will clash with nurturing in another area. Compulsive attraction/love (Venus in Scorpio) will trigger this issue. Vesta is associated with purity (purity of intent, discipline) and Ceres is associated with mothering. When the two are at odds, difficulties with children and parental roles can come up. 

The solution is to not plunge so far into what you want, that you forget about what’s struggling to be free. Love that is one thousand fathoms deep is powerful, but it can drown the independent spark. Love deeply, love completely, but make sure you can see the light on the surface.  

Pallas in Aquarius stations direct, at 18 degrees. The unconventional pattern that’s been under review since August 12th, 2016 (when Pallas Rx reentered Aquarius) is now complete. You can move forward with it, or let it go.

October 11th, 2016: A Day of Promise

Today’s influences hit all the right notes –  enthusiasm, harmony and acceptance, with a touch of magic. If you have something to launch, submit or attempt, today’s overall ease and opportunity can help. 

Mercury in Libra conjoins Jupiter, at 6 degrees. Jupiter expands Mercury’s wit and verbal grace, and Mercury puts Jupiter’s beliefs into words. Discussions will be open and hopeful. Excellent for introductions or any social function where it’s essential to be polite and positive. This aspect gives all one-on-one communication an optimistic spin, so if you’re trying to make amends or find something to talk about, Mercury/Jupiter can inject fresh perspective and ideas. 

Continuing the open-minded trend, the Libra Sun trines Pallas Rx, at 18 degrees Aquarius. Odd patterns are given a social outlet. Something that’s too revolutionary for polite company has a better chance of being accepted. And, the Moon conjoins Pallas Rx, making this part of a Waxing trine between the Sun and Moon. This part of the lunar cycle makes integration easier. Events ease forward and understanding grows. Libra and Aquarius blend group dynamics with one-on-one connections. 

Venus at 21 degrees Scorpio conjoins Juno and trines Chiron Rx in Pisces. Love and profound commitment merge, while Chiron adds a shot of empathy. Unconditional expressions of fidelity come from the acceptance of each other’s wounds. Pain is shared and makes the relationship stronger.  

Mars in Capricorn makes a sextile to Neptune Rx in Pisces, at 9 degrees. This is an aspect of gentle manifestation, as Mars’ determined actions ground Neptune’s dreams. A vision can be solidified, as you work to integrate magic into the real world.
