Mars and Neptune in conjunction in the karmic sign of Pisces this is a good time to end the year by revisiting past hurts. Pisces gives you the ability to see your pain in the bigger picture without the need to seek revenge. Just watch that you don’t go into victim mode.
Mars is anger and pain – and Neptune brings is in touch with karma and the universal source. So what better time, especially before the end of the year, to work on those who have hurt you – and those you have hurt — and try to find a peaceful and lasting solution. Let go of the pain – it is the season of good will.
In addition, they make a trine or flowing aspect this week. There are no more excuses, you have had time to ruminate of your hurt feelings (Chiron) and figure out the best way to speak about the issue (Mercury) while they were in retrograde. Now you have to air your deepest wounds in a constructive and honorable fashion. You have no excuse to keep stewing and being passive-aggressive. Both of these planets have a lot of Sagittarius energy around them now – that is a straight shooting as it gets. Make your New Year’s resolutions early. The old saying is, “Speak the truth and shame the devil.” Let’s use this time to speak the truth and make Christmas dinner less stressful.
Now that Mercury has gone retrograde in Sagittarius she will be dancing closely with Jupiter that has just moved into that sign. Around the time of the winter solstice, they will be in a tight conjunction.
Mercury like Sagittarius and it’s ruler, Jupiter, is all about communications. Indeed, this can be a very chatty holiday season for better or worse. The worse would be everyone digging deep inside to air EVERY single issue they have against EVERY family member from the beginning of their time on Earth! The better would be to inwardly assess both sides of the communications issues with family and friends – yes, including your own errors, and making your mind up to make amends.
Let’s hope we all go for the better and all have a happy Thanksgiving!
On November 8 Jupiter returned home to the constellation it feels most at home, Sagittarius. It takes Jupiter twelve years to go around the zodiac so it remains in a constellation just about a year.
For those with strong Jupiter/Sagittarius influence in their charts – Sun, Moon, ascendant – it is a time for growth, learning and reaching higher levels. Jupiter is constantly pushing us to go beyond boundaries – to see what is on the other side of fence. Set your goals for what you wish to overcome!
However, Jupiter is sometimes too big, too ambitious – and can lead to reckless behavior, drinking, gambling and other forms of risk taking. Jupiter-people sometimes think of themselves as too grand, too smart, too invincible. Keep your head on your shoulders!
For those with Sagittarius North or South Nodes this period is especially profound. If your North Node is involved this is a perfect time to work at living into it’s positive energies. For South Node Sagittarius people, look at the downside – what can you leave behind? How can you make the leap into Gemini North Node while leaving behind the largess, aggrandizement and prevarications that come from a being too deep into your Sagittarius South.
Note: Donald Trump is a Sagittarius South Node. How he will react to this transit? Do you think he will take the route of leaving behind his negatives? Do you, really? Let’s watch and see.
It is Election Day – with Venus and Uranus in retrograde and our country in Pluto return. Will we allow the forces that are loose in public – forces of homophobia, misogyny and white nationalism to reign free or will we stand up and say NO! Will women reach deep and say ENOUGH? Pluto puts them front and center – it is up to us to clear it out — or live with the consequences.
Today Mercury moves into Sagittarius today as Venus retrogrades back into Libra. This is a prescription for discussion particularly with those who are closest to us – business and romantic partnerships. My caution would be for everyone to stop and think before saying anything. Sagittarius has the nasty habit of having to prove how much he knows – how much smarter he is than anyone else around him. Sag. doesn’t always like to talk – he likes to TELL.
This isn’t the time to let it all out – everything that has ever bothered you about these people — remember in retrograde, Venus brings the gunk up about relationships – and even issues of co-dependence. It is better to perhaps write down what you want to say, cool off and remember you might now always be right!
I am sure we are all tired of Mars doing the tango with unpredictable Aquarius. There has been a bit too much upheaval in the world lately. With the Saturn/Pluto retrogrades in full gear don’t expect too much of a slow down of intensity – but Pisces is a place for Mars to rest, regroup and do something he hates – reflect and forgive.
Mars is aggression, action and movement but Pisces tones down that energy and asks you to think first and then act.
He can also ask us to become a “spiritual warrior” when in this position. He can help us turn our energy into a forward spiritual task – to undertake some sort of class, lesson, task that enhances your inner journey. Of course, those who feel they are righteous and correct in their beliefs to a fault will be willing to fight for their right to impose their will on others.
This is an interesting event to have during the Midterm elections. You will have people who are voting to make America gentle again and those who are voting to make it a religious caliphate. Who will win? It all comes down to turn out
I have been talking a lot about Venus as she takes a rare retrograde into Scorpio. Today she is joined by Mercury, the communicator, for a few days. Were I counseling all of the #metoo women or anyone else wanted to expose the rich and powerful I would say do it now. Mercury loves nothing more than to express thoughts and with Venus digging through secretive and powerful Scorpio he wants to pitch those new founded details out into the world.
The feminine energy is getting another boost as Ceres is nearing the Sun. Ceres is the archetype of all that is nurturing and giving.
In short, there is a good deal of feminine energy looking for a place to to be heard. Stay tuned, I think it will be!
Election Day will occur when Venus is retrograded back into one of its two ruling constellations, Libra. (The other Venus rules is Taurus.) Retrograded Venus will be conjunct the motherly Ceres and a Sun/Moon conjunction or New Moon in deep penetrating Scorpio. This is serious girl power. Many woman voting will be doing so not for themselves but for their daughters (Ceres) as they manifest (a New Moon activity) a new world order.
Saturn will be on the progressed Moon of our national chart, signifying the battle of the paternal (Saturn) and the emotional, feminine energy (Moon.)
This powerful placement will be in the 11th house of the US, that which signifies groups coming together to make changes – big changes – to the status quo.
Expect miscommunications and even interference again into our system as retrograded Neptune crosses the third house.
Neither side is going to get exactly what they want – the patriarchy will get something to be thankful for but this will be a surge of pink energy the likes of which we have never seen before. Go Pink.
