January 15th, 2019: Difficult Social Battles

  • Sun in Capricorn square Pallas in Libra (25 deg)

Social (Libra) strategies (Pallas) are challenged by the rules of the establishment (or manager/father/boss/judge). Pallas always suggests some kind of battle (she’s named after Pallas Athena, the goddess of wisdom who wore armor) but in Libra, the fight is discreet and sheathed in clever words and a polite facade. Nonetheless, these strategies can be ultra-effective if deployed with skill (the argument that’s won with diplomacy or the tension that’s diffused with social engineering).

The Capricorn Sun will illuminate the issue while blocking the effectiveness of carefully balanced solutions. Rules will not allow for compromise, or one person may refuse to play the game as they lower the hammer. Today it will be difficult to succeed if you’re trying to win while coming out unscathed (and still looking like a nice person). Win-win will not be possible.

Accept that there will be friction and be prepared to deal with someone’s power trip or rigid boundaries.

January 12th, 2019: Reliable Relationships

  • Sun in Capricorn trine Juno in Taurus (22 deg)

A stable relationship is energized by commitment, rules and boundaries. Traditions support what you already have with another, and security can be confirmed by following well-defined paths. This aspect is for those who are serious about their partnership and know exactly what they want in a relationship.

This is not a romantic aspect, but it is very reassuring for those who like to know where they stand. There are no illusions here – just what you can see and touch. A business or personal union will move naturally along traditional lines – this is predictable energy. Excellent if you’re looking to confirm an agreement or focus on building something reliable.

January 5th, 2018: Look

  • Venus in Scorpio trine Chiron in Pisces (28 deg)

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

  • Vesta in Aquarius conjunct Black Moon Lilith (16 deg)

Venus

Continuing the Grand Water Trine, Venus/Chiron suggests deep healing via the full commitment to what you want or love. Venus in Scorpio is not casual – this is an immersion in the beautiful and ugly truths of a relationship, financial or self-esteem issue. The deeper you go, the more access you’ll have to compassion, empathy and acceptance of a wound (Chiron). This is about loving what hurts or finding beauty in what’s flawed and vulnerable.

Note that Venus’ inconjunct to Uranus can provide a shock to the above – some of what’s revealed will not be pleasant and you’ll have to make adjustments. Perhaps you discover more than you bargained for. The challenge will be to integrate this into the flow – can you handle uncomfortable truths?

Vesta/BML

Vesta is focus and Black Moon Lilith is taboo or unacceptable female energy. Here, the focus is on the outsider – the witch/rebel/dangerous woman holds the sacred flame. Aquarius makes this about the collective- perhaps a key issue that no one wanted to acknowledge is unavoidable. Everyone is looking and Lilith’s power is enhanced by the undivided attention.

Vesta is also about purity while BML is considered dark, sexual and “impure”. When the two unite, there are hints of sacred sexuality or devotion to the dark lady on the fringe. Consider where your attention is focused today and why: there’s a reason you can’t look away.

Along with today’s New Moon eclipse, beginnings have a heavy feel but they are weighted in absolute truths. You’ll know where you stand and those with the courage to accept reality will benefit.

December 31st, 2018: Depth and Structure

  • Waning Sextile between the Scorpio Moon and Capricorn Sun (10 deg)

  • Pluto in Capricorn trine Juno in Taurus (20 deg)

Building up to the January 5th New Moon Capricorn eclipse, the Waning Sextile enables the refinement of emerging structures via a peek at what’s going on beneath. Scorpio hints at more below the surface – secrets and emotional intensity. What’s deeper can blend easily with the rules, so you can add form to intensity and depth to what you’re defining. In other words, what’s manifesting won’t be uncontrolled obsession/wallowing but it won’t be a rigid, emotionless cage either.

Pluto (ruler of Scorpio) makes a supportive trine to Juno, suggesting that the above will involve the empowering transformation of a fixed relationship agreement.

We’ve seen this trine before, on December 23rd (when Juno was Rx) so this is the completion of a process that’s been going on for awhile. The slow, steady evolution of a commitment has led you to this moment – how do your rules and boundaries look now?

December 30th, 2018: Nurturing and Loss in a Relationship

  • Juno in Taurus opposite Ceres in Scorpio (20 deg)

  • Pluto in Capricorn sextile Ceres in Scorpio (20 deg)

Continuing December 28th’s themes, Ceres in Scorpio now opposes Juno. Ceres in Scorpio is complete, intensive and demanding nurturing with the added awareness of the “death” part of the cycle of nurturing and loss. Scorpio always intensifies things with undertones of complete transformation (death is the greatest transformation).

So Ceres/Juno pits the stable, unchanging relationship commitment against the transformational powers of nurturing. One partner might demand more than the other can give. Or, this could be an ending that marks a change in one partner’s status (due to illness or loss of resources).

Once again, Pluto is there to support via a sextile, reminding us that these profound shifts are necessary and empowering. There is a “death” occurring in an agreement, but it’s part of the cycle. What comes next?

A reminder that Venus conjoined Ceres on December 27th – the conjunction was a new beginning as love, loss and unconditional care united. What has developed since then and how is it impacting the fixed parameters (or financial rules) of a relationship commitment?
