  • Sun in Aquarius sextile Jupiter in Sagittarius (18 deg)

  • Mercury in Aquarius sextile Mars in Aries (25 deg)

  • Uranus in Aries opposite Pallas in Libra (29 deg)

Sun/Jupiter delivers buoyant energy that encourages you to have faith in something unique (including yourself). It’s ok to stand out, be yourself or take a risk, and judgements should be almost non-existent. Aquarius is very open-minded and Jupiter (in positive aspect) is all about benevolence.

Mercury/Mars adds to the above with assertive but not pushy words. The harmony of the sextile adds Mars’ aggressiveness in a manageable way, encouraging outspoken information that is delivered in an acceptable manner. Combined with Sun/Jupiter, today’s influences favour exploration, the communication of fresh ideas standing up for yourself with easy confidence.

However, Uranus (ruler of Aquarius) opposite Pallas does suggest that liberating moves will trigger some imbalances. Pallas in Libra’s polite social strategies will be upended, or even abruptly abandoned. Not a deal-breaker, but consider if any relationship plans, compromises or solutions have outlived their usefulness.

Note that this opposition (a culmination) takes places at 29 degrees (the final degree). This strongly points to the end of a social issue – you may be liberated or surprised, but either way there’s no going back. If this makes you uneasy, know that Jupiter’s influence suggests that this is a good thing.

February 6th, 2019: Discordant Nurturing

  • Moon in Pisces conjunct Vesta (2 deg)

  • Moon in Pisces sextile Venus in Capricorn (2 deg)

  • Moon in Pisces square Ceres in Sagittarius (3 deg)

The Moon emphasizes yesterday’s Venus/Vesta sextile:

“Venus in Capricorn is about strict and ambitious definitions for relationships, money or personal values. Vesta in Pisces focuses on transcendent or compassionate issues. When they harmonize, Vesta’s higher devotion loosens some of Venus’ rules – there can be more to what you want as judgements are released. “

Moon/Vesta suggests emotional devotion or focus on a specific issue that transcends reality. There’s a yearning for something higher. Venus adds a touch of practicality while keeping the energy calm and beautifully contained.

But the Moon/Ceres square suggests the above may be disrupted by discordant expressions of nurturing. Vague or spiritual needs are out of step with the belief about how care “should” be implemented. Although well-intentioned, Sag’s fiery enthusiasm can be too much for gentle Pisces. Nurturing may be too pushy.

Sag is about the belief of what’s true and right while Pisces simply “is.” If you’re attempting to nurture, consider what’s needed versus what you believe is best. If you’re the recipient of some pushy efforts, know that it’s ok to keep those boundaries in place.

February 5th, 2019: Venus in Capricorn Sextile Vesta

  • Venus in Capricorn sextile Vesta in Pisces (2 deg)

Venus in Capricorn is about strict and ambitious definitions for relationships, money or personal values. Vesta in Pisces focuses on transcendent or compassionate issues. When they harmonize, Vesta’s higher devotion loosens some of Venus’ rules – there can be more to what you want as judgements are released.

But the sextile is such a soft aspect that you won’t feel this unless you’re paying attention. Tune in to the whisper that suggests your love or values can be elevated. At the same time, consider how a difficult-to-grasp issue (perhaps involving an unattainable devotion) can be grounded by blending it with what you want in the earthly realm.

Vesta is about purity and Venus in Cap is quite disciplined, so the vibe is still a bit spartan, but it’s an interesting mix of material and spiritual.

February 2nd, 2019: Successful Risks

  • Venus in Sagittarius trine Uranus in Aries (28 deg)

  • Venus in Sagittarius sextile Pallas in Libra (28 deg)

Venus/Uranus encourages boldness, risk and a desire for something unusual regarding relationships, money or personal self-expression. The harmony of the trine says you can explore something new without falling on your face, and Venus/Pallas adds in harmonious social strategies.

Libra is ruled by Venus, so the Pallas/Venus sextile is given a bit more power – taking a relationship in a new direction, meeting new people or trying out a new look/persona/expression of your values can be part of a successful strategy. Yes, this sounds a bit calculated but Pallas is always about the “battle” and the calculated approach to victory.

Note that Pallas and Uranus are applying to an opposition, exact on Feb 7th and Feb 20th. Social strategies will be challenged by rude surprises. There are some bumps coming your way. But for today, Venus is the happy go-between, which means your faith in what’s on the horizon (and in yourself) can help you deal with the approaching shocks.

If you’re working on a relationship or social solution, get ready to change it or (perhaps) do a complete reversal.

February 1st, 2019: Raw Power and Transcendence

  • Mars in Aries square Pluto in Capricorn (21 deg)

  • Vesta enters Pisces

Mars/Pluto

Mars (conscious actions, anger) in a crisis-ridden square to Pluto (power and unconscious motivations) suggests powerful eruptions that are driven by things you’re not fully aware of. The crisis lies in the tension between unconscious and conscious – actions don’t align with motivations, and the result is usually something frustrated, hostile or even violent. Especially with Mars at full force in aggressive Aries.

So the key here is awareness. Before you do it or lash out, pay attention to what’s driving you. What do you really want to accomplish? Chances are there will be a deep push that feels urgent – life or death, even if the situation is something mundane like arguing over who takes out the garbage. Tune into the urgency, because it’s a doorway into what’s really motivating you (a simmering issue).

The risk is doing something out of proportion to the external circumstances. Don’t allow yourself to get carried away by what you haven’t fully identified. Too, someone could be attempting to manipulate you with domineering actions. Again, know that there’s more beneath the surface.

On the plus side, the square always suggests a corner that can be turned. And this aspect is tremendously powerful. If directed correctly, your actions can permanently transform a situation.

Think about that.

This is a First Quarter Square, which means you’ll be pushed to do something. But it’s not the start – the actual kickoff of this issue was April 26th, 2018 when Mars conjoined Pluto Rx at 21 deg Capricorn. Now you’ve reached the crisis and turning point.

Vesta

Vesta’s focus turns towards unseen matters as she enters Pisces. Here we have devotion to all things spiritual, creative and compassionate. Devotion can become heightened if you get hooked into a higher ideal or dream- this transit favours meditation, visionary work and prayer.

Vesta can become fixated on an issue, and if that happens to be something you feel requires your sacrifice, you can end up losing a great deal. Sometimes sacrifices are necessary, but sometimes they’re misguided.

Vesta will exit Pisces for Aries on April 3rd, 2019.

Vesta into Pisces and Mars/Pluto create an interesting contrast. Consider where your motivations are pushing you – Vesta’s higher focus suggests a transformation for the better. Can you feel the two energies? You’ll certainly feel Mars/Pluto’s raw power (or powerful manipulations) but see if you can sense a shift in focus to something that allows you to transcend or release (Pisces).

January 29th, 2019: A Flash of Clarity

  • Sun conjunct Mercury in Aquarius (9 deg)

  • Mars in Aries sextile Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (19 deg)

  • Uranus in Aries sextile Vesta in Aquarius (28 deg)

The Sun/Mercury conjunction is a “Full Moon” phase in the Sun/Mercury cycle – a superior conjunction that delivers an answer or result. In Aquarius, we can expect it to be surprising, clear and possibly disruptive. A light will be shone on all matters involving the collective and your relationship to society.

The last Sun/Mercury conjunction occurred on November 27th, 2018 at 5 deg Sagittarius, when Mercury was Rx. This was an inferior conjunction- the “New Moon” part of the cycle and a new beginning. What was introduced at that time may be connected to the results you see today.

The Mars/BML sextile is a harmonious blend of male energy (Mars) and the dangerous, rebellious woman. She is energized by Mars, which could mean she uses male energy/sexual energy to her advantage. Or, she uses conflict and anger to power her forward (smoothly), drawing the collective’s attention to her taboo issues. Uranus adds oomph to Vesta’s focus on independence and liberation- Uranus (ruler of Aquarius) adds gentle encouragement to the devotion of whatever’s on the outside.

Combined with Sun/Mercury, today’s influences all favour the outsider, the rebel or the detached observer. Today is an excellent day to gain clarity and perspective on a difficult issue because emotions will be less pronounced than logic. Stepping outside the lines is a possibility, with innovative flashes and surges of quirky or shocking energy.
