  • Jupiter in Scorpio trine the North Node in Cancer (29 deg)

  • Pluto in Capricorn conjunct Vesta (19 deg)

The North Node newly arrived in Cancer gets a boost from Jupiter. A situation can expand naturally in such a way that you are guided towards the most authentic, emotional direction. It may feel good (Jupiter) to move forward and honour your needs – go for it!

This aspect is part of a Grand Water Trine which includes Jupiter’s trine to Chiron Rx in Pisces (exact on Nov 1st). Ahead lies healing, release and easy access to what feels best.

This trine accompanies today’s Scorpio New Moon which rules the North Node and trines Neptune. Watch for an area of easy flow – something should be unfolding without any effort.

Pluto/Vesta indicates extreme, perhaps obsessive, focus. There may be a rigid (Capricorn) insistence on digging to the bottom of an issue (Pluto penetrates). This can be good if you’re researching or searching for a truth. But it can also blind you to what’s around you – Vesta is devoted focus, and when combined with Pluto, that devotion goes over the top.

Pick your focus carefully, and consider that Pluto rules this New Moon – are you diving into a new obsession? Depending on the subject matter, this new beginning could be a powerful, positive new chapter that’s fuelled by your intensive commitment.

November 5th, 2018: Libra Strategies and Nurturing

  • Venus Rx in Libra conjunct Ceres (27 deg)

  • Pallas in Libra trine the Aquarius South Node (0 deg)

It’s a Libra day – look, listen and tune into the exchange of energy between you and another.

Venus Rx/Ceres can be a moment of truly balanced nurturing, or an understanding of what the other person wants. The re-evaluation of give and take in a relationship can lead to the correction of an imbalance (where one person is doing all the giving) or insight into how you can give unconditionally.

Nurturing is not an easy task. Sometimes you give when it’s not wanted. Sometimes you expect thanks and none is given. Or sometimes you want to help and you just don’t know how. This influence can address these issues, and your awareness of the dynamics between you and another will be key.

Pallas, newly into Libra, trines the South Node. An issue from the past (involving alienation, freedom or detachment) can be smoothly addressed with some balanced strategies. The solution should emerge easily – this will be about paying attention to the interplay between you and another. Check your strategies.

November 4th, 2018: Pallas Enters Libra

by  •

Pallas enters Libra on November 4th, 2018. Strategies will be focused on social niceties – polite, indirect words can be used as effective weapons. Saying the right thing can get you what you want and grace will win the battle.

Pallas is named after Pallas Athena, the warrior goddess, so she always involves competitiveness and a win. Libra can be extremely competitive, but not in an obvious way. So this transit might in usher in a few months of covert competitiveness. Pallas can also emphasize imbalances such as recurring patterns of codependency or jealousy.

What strategies do have to combat these issues?

Pallas will station Rx on Feb 18th, 2019 at 29 degrees. She will pause at the very last degree and retrace her steps to 10 deg, where she will station direct on May 30th. This suggests a complete overhaul of a relationship strategy. When you get to this point, consider how your relationship strategies are working for you. If you don’t know what they are, consider what you do to get what you want, connect or make a certain impression.

We all have social strategies, whether or not we’re aware of them. Some are effective and some are destructive. Pallas encourages you to look at your patterns.

Pallas will exit Libra for Scorpio on August 26th, 2019.

November 3rd, 2018: Yod to Venus Rx

  • Venus Rx in Libra inconjunct Juno Rx in Taurus (28 deg)

  • Venus Rx in Libra inconjunct Chiron Rx in Pisces (28 deg)

  • Juno Rx in Taurus sextile Chiron Rx in Pisces (28 deg)

There’s an unusual configuration in the sky today, called a Yod. It features inconjuncts, which are aspects of incompatibility.

Juno/Venus indicates incompatibility between the desire for a balanced/harmonious relationship versus the focus on one partner’s “me first” baseline needs. The agreement/commitment (Juno) does not mesh with the actual exchange. Chiron/Venus indicates incompatibility between addressing the wound versus keeping it light and happy.

But Chiron and Juno make a harmonious sextile with each other, so the fixed/predictable aspects of this agreement can be a good basis for revisiting that sore spot – it will be safe to address what hurts, if the relationship itself remains secure.

And yet, the tension of two inconjuncts pointing at Venus (making her the focal point) means a key imbalance, exchange or surface issue must be addressed. It will be quite uncomfortable. Somehow, Juno and Chiron’s energies must be integrated with Venus. A balance must be achieved between fixed security versus compromise and confronting a sensitivity versus keeping things harmonious.

Everything is Rx, so this entire issue is not new. You’re revisiting the agreement/commitment and addressing what’s out of whack. Watch for a key issue around incompatibility or unhappiness. You may be tempted to back off, but this is actually a prompt to address the issue. Yods are not fun, but if approached correctly, the payoff can be satisfying. Having said this, relationships are likely to be troublesome and awkward today.

When dealing with inconjuncts, the key is adjustment – both sides must be worked with (it’s a balancing act).

November 2nd, 2018: Waning Sextile and Jupiter Opposes Juno

  • Scorpio Sun square Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (9 deg)

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

  • Jupiter in Scorpio opposite Juno Rx in Taurus (28 deg)

Waning Sextile

The Sun/BML square shines a dark light on female empowerment, rebellion and alienation. Being on the outside for not acting the way a woman “should” or for expressing taboo issues of female sexuality may be themes, with a tension that encourages the expression of ego and purpose. This can trigger the expression of woman’s power, but it won’t be easy and there will be a lot of resistance from others. BML’s destructive side (jealousy/vengeance) may come out.

Fortunately, this aspect is also part of the Waning Sextile with the Virgo Moon, which offers solutions via subtle refinements and attention to detail. You can make things better and progress naturally if you’re aware of the little things – the seemingly inconsequential but important words, the small but vital adjustments/improvements that need to be made. Overall, your goal is to take what’s dark/intense/taboo and refine it.

Jupiter/Juno

The Jupiter/Juno opposition presents the second of two oppositions in Scorpio/Taurus. Juno was Jupiter’s wife, and she was faithful to him despite his consistent philandering. Especially in the Fixed sign of Taurus, she represents the unshakable commitment.

When she opposes Jupiter, the ideals of/desire for expansion in that commitment will be at odds with the agreement itself. This is a key turning point between partners, but it’s not new -the issue may have emerged around August 3rd with the first opposition. One partner may be after deep transformation of the partnership while the other wants things to remain as is. This final opposition (with Juno Rx) suggests a re-evaluation of what was previously fixed. Material resources, set routines or security may be issues.

In general terms, this can represent a massive change or ending in any agreement (personal or professional). The enduring partnership must evolve or die.

November 1st, 2018: Beyond Logic

  • Jupiter in Scorpio trine Chiron Rx in Pisces (28 deg)

  • Jupiter in Scorpio sextile Pallas in Virgo (28 deg)

  • Chiron Rx in Pisces opposite Pallas in Virgo (28 deg)

Jupiter/Chiron gives you access to deep healing of a wound/vulnerability that first came up around March/April 2018. At that time, you may not have had the resources to deal, but now you do- pay attention to what’s emerged from the depths (knowledge, secrets, optimism).

Jupiter in Scorpio has stirred up a lot of crap during its transit – you’ve felt the weight of your Shadow, issues with death or trauma. But this trine indicates that healing is available. The emergence of dark things is not without relief.

Chiron’s opposition to Pallas indicates some challenges as you attempt to apply logical strategies/solutions that don’t quite do the trick. The neat pattern won’t fit with what hurts. But Jupiter’s sextile suggests you can still get through this if you work with newly emerging secrets/wisdom. The deeper you go, the more access you’ll have to assistance as you expand upon an existing solution. Go beyond what’s logical.

October 30th, 2018: The Turning Point

  • Mercury in Scorpio opposite Juno Rx in Taurus (29 deg)

  • Venus Rx in Scorpio square South Node in Aquarius/North Node in Leo (0 deg)

Mercury/Juno Rx raises questions about a previous contract or relationship agreement. What seemed to be set in stone may now be challenged, as someone wants to look deeper or ask uncomfortable questions. Too, this opposition could indicate the finalization of a commitment from September 28th.

Venus Rx square the Nodes adds more info to the relationship issue. The review of, or return to, an intense exploration of values, self-esteem or love beneath the surface will bring you to a major turning point – what you want/love will be the deciding factor regarding staying on the edge, remaining detached/alienated versus stepping up and claiming your place at the center. This can be the center of anything that increases your pride, power and sense of purpose. The key will be committing yourself to something that matters to you and builds your self-esteem.

It’s significant that this square is happening just before Venus Rx returns to Libra (Oct 31st) and the Nodes enter Cancer/Capricorn (November 6th). This adds emphasis to an already significant turning point, because it precedes a huge, energetic shift. This will be your last chance to address certain issues, although Venus will square the Nodes again on November 28th (from Libra). But that will involve different themes.

October 28th, 2018: Mercury Sextile Pallas

  • Mercury in Scorpio sextile Pallas in Virgo (26 deg)

Any harmonious connection between Mercury and Pallas blends intellect/communication with strategy and pattern recognition, for a firing-on-all-cylinders influence – you’ve got the detailed, effective strategies (Pallas in Virgo) expressed via intense words (Mercury in Scorpio).

Great for communicating precise solutions/patterns with depth and impact. However, the sextile is a soft aspect (there’s no motivating tension) so if you want to take full advantage of this one you’ll need to keep your eyes open and actually say something when the time is right. This could be challenging, because Scorpio is not chatty sign. Nonetheless, a few, carefully chosen words can make a significant impression.

  • Juno Rx re-enters Taurus

After her brief Gemini ingress (starting on September 29th) Juno Rx has now returned to Taurus. This is a shift from multiple, flexible choices and info (Gemini) to to a fixed focus on what’s already known (Taurus).

Juno is about contracts and relationship agreements. In Gemini, there was something new to consider (a new agreement, a new angle to an existing agreement, a new partnership). But when she stationed Rx at 0 deg Gemini (October 12th) there were questions and revisions required. What was new was not quite acceptable, so now we go back to a safer, more certain place. Juno in Taurus is the absolute commitment and focus on material security.

But Juno will be Rx until December 23rd, so what’s known/safe will also be up for revision. Perhaps a key resource (money?) needs to be reviewed before the new options can be implemented.

As Juno retrogrades back through Taurus (she will station direct at 20 deg) consider what you thought was a sure thing. There’s a set part of a contract that requires your attention, and this may refer back to September 28th. It could be solid, or maybe something has to change.

Juno will re-enter Gemini on February 10th, 2019, and the new agreement can move forward.

October 18th, 2018: Step Back

  • Moon in Aquarius square Mercury in Scorpio (12 deg)

  • Moon in Aquarius conjunct Mars (13 deg)

  • Moon in Aquarius trine Ceres in Libra (19 deg)

The Moon’s square to Mercury can trigger tense realizations- detached energy will illuminate what’s obscured. Communication can feel uncomfortable, as deep observations clash with the need to remain distant. When the Moon conjoins Mars, watch for a spark that lights a rebellious or unusual urge. The pull of Scorpio’s depths will be forcefully denied. Now is not the time to look for intimacy – the mood is restless and a bit crazy.

If you’re aware of what’s happening, this energy can be channeled in a healthy way via the Moon’s trine to Ceres. Mutual freedom can be nurtured in a relationship. This is about giving the other person room to breath – stepping back and keeping your touch light can actually bring you closer.
