<span><a name='more'></a></span><p><br /></p><p>MONDAY - Mercury conjunct North Node</p><p>TUESDAY - Sun enters Aries</p><p>WEDNESDAY - Mercury conjunct Chiron</p><p>THURSDAY - Sun sextile Pluto, Venus conjunct Saturn</p><p>FRIDAY - Mars enters Pisces</p><p>SUNDAY - Venus sextile Jupiter</p><p><br /></p><p>On <b>MONDAY</b> - Mercury catches up with the North Node. I wrote about Monday HERE. Mercury is going to station retrograde in Aries in another week and we will be re-working the conversations and ideas we are having NOW. </p><p><br /></p><p>Keep in mind, so much is going to happen over the next few weeks, before Mercury is back where he/she is NOW - the Equinox, the Lunar Eclipse in Libra, the Solar Eclipse in Aries, the Meeting of Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus - that we are going to want to give ourselves some time with the things we can give ourselves time with. Aries messages come in abruptly, sometimes with passion, sometimes with heat. Just know the conversations and ideas will be re-peated, re-vised. </p><p><br /></p><p>Life is a series of situations where we trigger fate based on our CHOICES which then bring us fated CONSEQUENCES. The best way to work with energy portals that we know will be REPEATED, is to avoid, as best we can, having <i>expectations. </i>Stay open. Expectations send out little cords ahead of us that, more often than not, limit the ways life has to get us to where we need to be. </p><p><br /></p><p>Mercury's multiple meetings with different planets and points now through the end of April are CONVERSATIONS. And, with Mercury in Aries, some of these conversations can be fast/heated. Know this going in. For now, pay attention. You have the benefit of astrology. Think to yourself, "isn't it interesting that I am hearing or seeing this now/that this is coming to light now/that I am having this conversation now". How is this what I need to hear or what I need to say?</p><p><br /></p><p>On <b>TUESDAY</b> - it will be 32 degrees as we start our day here in New Jersey, but it is still SPRING, as the Sun enters Aries, bringing us the Spring Equinox (<i>in the northern hemisphere</i>) and launching the New Solar Year. With the Sun in Aries - our fire/enthusiasm returns! You will feel this transition over the next few days, although Mars' entry into Pisces will dampen things a bit. </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">This is very much NOW, NOW, NOW energy, so </span><span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i>take action with whatever comes up this week.</i></span><span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> We will likely be doing things somewhat quickly - they don't have to be big things - and on OUR OWN TERMS. And, yes, I know I just said 'give yourself time' - take action with whatever comes up and give yourself time to think are not necessarily mutually exclusive things. We can take action without painting ourselves into a corner since we know some things will be subject to change.</span></span><span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 17.6px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> </span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 17.6px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 17.6px;"> </span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 17.6px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 17.6px;">This is also the day that Venus opposes Juno (<i>retrograde</i>) - Pisces/Virgo. Relationship challenges are built right into the Spring Equinox chart with this one - which is, kind of, par for the course with the Nodes of Fate in Aries/Libra. Maybe one partner is Juno here, trying to fix something/re-work things/be practical and the other partner is Venus here, non-committed/evasive/dreamy. Oppositions often bring endings and if there is one now, it will be more of a 'dissolving'. People or situations fading away. Venus, exalted in Pisces, here, as with her meeting with Saturn later this week, can provide some <i>anesthesia.</i> </span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 17.6px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 17.6px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 17.6px;">On <b>WEDNESDAY</b> - Mercury reaches 18 degrees Aries and catches up with Chiron. This is about UNCOMFORTABLE CONVERSATIONS. Here is another aspect - this portal of Chiron/Mercury - that, due to Mercury's upcoming retrograde, will be <span>REPEATED. This is their first meeting, and like a New Moon, they launch a new cycle, but we know there will be re-workings and re-visings. There won't be a straight line here from A to B. There could be hurtful words now - we might be the one hearing them or the one saying them. With Mercury in Aries, words can be blunt, even used as weapons. Whatever this is - it will be triggering very old wounds and we will be going back and forth with it for the next month. Chiron, especially in Aries, is really about confronting our wounds/the ways we undermine ourselves/make ourselves sick - and accepting them/ourselves. The Moon is squaring Leo today, so we might expect some DRAMA. </span></span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 17.6px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><span><br /></span></span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 17.6px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 17.6px;">On <b>THURSDAY</b> - the Sun, freshly minted in fellow fire sign Aries, reaches his sextile - creative opportunity - with powerful Pluto on Aquarius. This provides us with drive and determination. It's good energy for being our empowered selves within group settings or online. There is a 'need to succeed' with this one. </span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 17.6px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><span><br /></span></span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 17.6px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><span>This is also the day Venus in Pisces catches up with Saturn. Venus/Saturn doesn't feel so good. Maybe we get a financial reality check. Maybe we feel lonely or old. It helps that Venus is exalted here and that the ruler of Pisces, Neptune, is strong in his home sign. Conjunctions like this one launch new cycles, but in Pisces, things are often more about the endings. Endings will be drifting/anesthetized. Things end as they are supposed to. </span></span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 17.6px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><span><br /></span></span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 17.6px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 17.6px;">On <b>FRIDAY</b> - Mars enters Pisces, for the first time in two years. Have you missed him Pisces? Our Pisces house gets fired up! Our actions become more creative/intuitive/compassionate. With Mars in Pisces our past catches up with us. We might be working on and taking action with old things.</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "Crimson Text", serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Crimson Text", serif;">Keep in mind we are NOT going to be able to just push things through - because Mars in Pisces </span><i style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 1.625; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">can't</i><span style="font-family: "Crimson Text", serif;"> push.

<span><a name='more'></a></span><p><br /></p><p>I have been asked by a couple people to look at Princess Kate's chart, so let's do that. </p><p><br /></p><p>I know, she is called Princess Catherine now, but there may be good reasons for her to keep her own name in as many ways as she can, even seemingly insignificant ones, like this, so let's just call her Kate. </p><p><br /></p><p>I hope my British readers will give me a pass on this one :)</p><p><br /></p><p>For anyone who hasn't been living under a rock, and many days I am actually, the news has been reporting that it has been several weeks since Kate has been seen publicly. </p><p><br /></p><p>Her last royal duty was at Christmas and it was announced in January (<i>at almost the same time as King Charles' cancer announcemen</i>t) that Kate was having a 'planned abdominal surgery' and was canceling her public activities until Easter. </p><p><br /></p><p>The media - and the public, although the public certainly for less salacious reasons - have been going crazy for the details of Kate's situation, since minimal information about Kate's health, her surgery, etc, have been given out. The press took a picture of her mother driving with someone who looks like Kate (<i>I am not clear that her mother even said it was Kate and Kate has a sister whom it looked a good deal like</i>) - it was grainy, shot at a distance. Who knows.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then a photo was released for Mother's Day in the UK of Kate and her children wishing people a happy holiday. The media quickly pulled the photo, issued something they called a "kill order" (<i>wth</i>) which sounds ominous (<i>and not language Brits are likely to want used around their royals</i>) and acted like a crime had been committed. </p><p><br /></p><p>Basically the news media had a tantrum that the family portrait was photoshopped, although I am certain most, if not all, of the images used in media now are photoshopped. </p><p><br /></p><p>Kate, or her press person, issued a hasty apology saying Kate dabbled in photography and photoshop/had made the photo manipulations herself and again was wishing people a happy holiday. </p><p><br /></p><p>The media, unsatisfied with this, had ANOTHER TANTRUM about being 'lied to'. So, we have the media pissed off to not be able to dominate the monarchy?! Is this the same media, who would pay the paparazzi obscene amounts of money for photos of Princess Diana who then chased Diana to her death for those pictures. </p><p><br /></p><p>If I were Kate, I might be thinking, "who the hell do these media people think they are?". Photos are manipulated <i>everyday. </i></p><p><br /></p><p>It's not like she photoshopped the Pope into the photo with her and her children ... or God forbid, Prince Harry. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, obviously I realize <i>some</i> people are actually <i>concerned for her </i>and want to see that she is ok and that is a whole other thing.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, let's take a look at her chart. </p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>She has multiple health transits. </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>She has<b> </b>a natal retrograde Chiron in the 10th in Taurus - indicating a public vulnerability (<i>health crisis possibility as it squares her Ascendant</i>) with a connection to past life/ancestral karma (<i>karma simply being the consequences of cause and effect/imbalanced energy</i>) that is being hit HARD right now, by Uranus and Jupiter. And her Chiron sextiles her Moon and squares her Ascendant very tightly. </p><p><br /></p><p>Pluto has just moved into her 6th house of health/daily work and habits and so has her progressed Moon. These are big deals and made more important by that public house retrograde Chiron. </p><p><br /></p><p>She has just had a pile-up of planets through her Aquarius 6th house of health and a New Moon opposing her Ascendant (<i>her physical self</i>) exactly. Mars is currently squaring her Chiron and opposing her Ascendant. </p><p><br /></p><p>When Jupiter meets Uranus next month they will be within just 3 degrees of Kate's natal Chiron. Chiron often speaks of health problems. Situations that are very old and very deep. Sometimes these are health situations we must learn to <i>manage</i> because they cannot be totally cured.<i> </i></p><p><br /></p><p>Kate was born on a Cancer Lunar Eclipse Full Moon with her Sun at 19 degrees Capricorn and her South Node at 22 degrees Capricorn. Her Moon is at 18 degrees Cancer (<i>conjunct her North Node</i>). She has a 19 degree Leo rising. All these degrees have royal connections, and you might recognize the tiny space between her Sun and South Node as the space where Pluto met Saturn (<i>and the Sun and Ceres and Mercury</i>) back in January 2020 - power is cemented, reality is destroyed, time runs out. </p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>With a 22 degree Capricorn South Node - she is a literal manifestation of the highest energy (<i>22 is a master number/beauty</i>) of the old Capricorn hierarchical world. </b>The power that was cemented. The reality that was destroyed. The time that ran out - that was all <i>Kate. </i>Talk about a pressure cooker!</p><p><br /></p><p>Kate was born with a Pluto/Saturn conjunction in lovely/diplomatic Libra which is probably the reason she had appeared to sail through all of this, although I would doubt there was any actual sailing going on. Her natal Saturn is also the apex of a cardinal T-Square involving her lights - the Sun and Moon. Saturn rules her 6th house of health and answers to that 6th house retrograde Venus. This T-Square will also provide a great amount of stamina - it could be hard to see/tell when she isn't well, until she is pretty much clobbered. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have talked about Kate's chart before and, what I see, as her connection to Catherine of Aragon. I believe Kate had a past life as Catherine of Aragon - King Henry VIII's first wife. I wouldn't be comfortable saying she is <i>the</i> reincarnation of the former queen because how would we <i>really</i> know exactly how this works. Maybe multiple people have had a past life as Catherine of Aragon. Maybe when we are born the energies inherent in the degrees we are born with pull in different stories. Or maybe it is just Kate. </p><p><br /></p><p>(<i>I will write some of the astrology connected to this below the closing for the astro buffs</i>)</p><p><br /></p><p>Queen Catherine of Aragon was a central figure during the last time "time ran out" as Saturn met Pluto in Capricorn back in the 1500's. Her refusal to just accept Henry's annulment was instrumental (<i>among other things</i>) in the fall of the power of the Catholic Church (<i>Henry started his own church rather than accept the Pope's refusal to nullify his marriage to Catherine</i>) and rise of the power of monarchies and governments. We all know some of this story - lust, his desire for a son - and after twenty five years of marriage, King Henry VIII tosses Catherine aside for Anne Boleyn (<i>ironically Anne, who is beheaded by Henry after a very short marriage, does produce the monarch who will rule England for decades, but it will be a powerful daughter and not a son anyway</i>). The "one son/sun" is a big part of the Age of Pisces story and the story of our galaxy that we won't get into here. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you are unfamiliar with Catherine of Aragon's powerful story you might want to read up on her. It was an amazing and heroic life. After the divorce, which I'm not sure was called a 'divorce', loss of her daughter and banishment, Catherine lived out her last few years alone, spending most of the time in one room, <b>fasting/starving herself</b>, wearing a hair shirt as a form of repentance and we might assume seeking God's forgiveness (<i>it is hard to say for what exactly she thought needed forgiving</i>). </p><p><br /></p><p>Kate's retrograde Chiron in Taurus could speak of old health issues involving food/self-nourishment. Kate's beloved mother-in-law/grandmother of her children, was of course, the former Diana Spencer. The Princess of Wales (<i>note both Catherine and Kate also held this title</i>) admitted life in the castle/pressures of public life gave her an eating disorder. Anorexia. Bulimia. I am not saying this is what Kate is dealing with, but it certainly could be. </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">Crohn's disease, <i><b>for</b> <b>example</b></i>, can be triggered by eating disorders. It can require surgery and would need to be managed/cannot be totally cured. And yes, with that RETROGRADE Chiron we could be talking about a PAST LIFE eating disorder stirring up Crohn's in this lifetime - especially when we factor in Catherine and Diana's history and the power of words - their names and titles. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">The main treatment for Crohn's (<i>which even sounds like Chiron</i>) is steroids which causes facial puffiness and that<i> </i>may be what some of the hibernation on Kate's part is all about. Waiting for the steroids to be cut back and her face to go back to normal. Maybe. We don't know and she isn't required to tell us.</span></p><p><br /></p><p>And, of course, the connection between a woman with a possible food issue and needing photographs to be 'perfect' is kind of obvious. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also obvious is the fact that we have no way of actually knowing what is wrong until Kate tells us. </p><p><br /></p><p>There are many, many POSSIBILITIES.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let's give this woman a break. </p><p><br /></p><p>We are all lucky to have her here at this time. </p><p><br /></p><p>The crazy pressure Kate has been under - the Saturn/Pluto 2020 transit to her Sun/South Node, the past year's Uranus conjunction to her Chiron in Taurus (<i>the sign that rules food</i>)<i> </i>that squared her Ascendant (<i>her physical self</i>) and sextiled her Moon in Cancer (<i>another sign about food, nourishment, the stomach</i>) and then in the middle of January as the Sun and Pluto push into Aquarius and Kate's 6th house of health - we have this 'abdominal' surgery announcement. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you look at her chart, all her outer planets are direct which is very unusual.

And Venus applying to her conjunction to <i>Neptune</i> really isn't helping, and, of course, the flipping time change coupled with a Pisces New Moon! </p><p><br /></p><p>WE NEED MORE SLEEP.

We will likely be <i>busy</i>, with lots of communication. </p><p><br /></p><p>Her aspects are all smooth until Sunday, although she is ruled by Mercury who is in Aries now and in a pesky inconjunct with Juno, who, remember, is retrograde in fussy, detail-oriented Virgo. </p><p><br /></p><p>Juno is focused in on something that needs fixing/correcting - note, this will NOT be a new <i>something</i> - and Mercury comes in with some fired up words that can, at their best, get things moving, and at their worst, blow things up.</p><p><br /></p><p>These signs are naturally at <i>odds. </i>Aries want to GO whether ready or not and Virgo wants to be prepared<i> </i>although that preparation can lead to procrastination from perfectionism. A give and take is needed.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is no real resolution to an Aries/Virgo problem. </p><p><br /></p><p>IF SOMETHING NEEDS TO COME TO A HEAD, IT PROBABLY WILL.

Some problems are fixable and some are more of the "can you live with it or not" variety. Pisces season is actually perfect for releasing fixations as well as things that aren't working and the approaching Libra Lunar Eclipse is apt to push relationships teetering on the brink completely over the edge. Some people you used to count on, will be GONE. </p><p><br /></p><p>Mercury in Aries might speak of the impulsive communications/information that brings the relationship - and this doesn't have to be a romantic relationship, but will most likely be an imbalanced one - to a parting of the ways/beginning of the end, OR, if, the problem is more of the "fix it or forget it" style and the relationship/situation is of greater worth to us than our discomfort with dealing with this PROBLEM, maybe results in something like a knot being tied in a fraying cord.</p><p><br /></p><p>Either way, it is unlikely something final/decisive will be determined now. </p><p><br /></p><p>Watch your language/avoid impulsive words tossed at someone like a weapon. Also, don't be so quick to let words tossed at you equally recklessly or information that comes to light now rule your judgement or be slipped too quickly under the carpet. </p><p><br /></p><p>Deals signed today will likely not be satisfying for either party. </p><p><br /></p><p>xo all</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: "ABC Oracle Plus Variable", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 10px 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve-breaks;"><br /></p>Catherine Ivinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01642469475264570967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3644717516426101893.post-48969140668458642532024-03-09T15:19:00.007-05:002024-03-11T10:13:20.024-04:00WEEKLY ASTROLOGY FORECAST | MARCH 11TH TO 17TH, 2024 - drifting through dreamland or up the creek without a paddle, creativity can soar although our energy level might not keep up<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC71DVRPoIfEADGtkc90Yuh8GevAkPMwI0wOTtECw-BTgF_uoH-hNhqbuGHr90Wt1qfDnqHBttrbeu-12cIWoaoXvm9uah9teuVp5e28Qxi7ZBL4wFSMiXuExFvqYZQb8IqPGUUYt_NGvVV63VK7anWY7N8L2FIWBMlk-WZHDlt4g2tfmFMgn1bjQtRvbJ/s1024/cativins_illustration_in_retro_colorsd_of_a_woman_in_a_kayak_in_84b45480-ca92-4b41-a51a-9bf6d354cb5e.png" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC71DVRPoIfEADGtkc90Yuh8GevAkPMwI0wOTtECw-BTgF_uoH-hNhqbuGHr90Wt1qfDnqHBttrbeu-12cIWoaoXvm9uah9teuVp5e28Qxi7ZBL4wFSMiXuExFvqYZQb8IqPGUUYt_NGvVV63VK7anWY7N8L2FIWBMlk-WZHDlt4g2tfmFMgn1bjQtRvbJ/s600/cativins_illustration_in_retro_colorsd_of_a_woman_in_a_kayak_in_84b45480-ca92-4b41-a51a-9bf6d354cb5e.png" width="600" /></a></div>

They are sandwiched between Saturn and Neptune. Reality and non-reality in the sign of non-reality! The New Moon is closely sextile Uranus in Taurus (<i>separating</i>). The New Moon is semi-sextile Mars in Aquarius, squares Vesta in Gemini and opposes Black Moon Lilith in Virgo. Neptune, the ruler of Pisces, so the ruler of this lunation - is home in Pisces, widely conjunct the New Moon, semi-sextile Venus and squaring the Galactic Center EXACT by degree. </p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 17.6px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 17.6px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Let's start with that 20 degrees since we have been looking at 20's for awhile now.

Hexagram 20 in the iChing is called 'seeing'. We've talked about this before in terms of that lead goose heading into new territory. Not being overly focused, but instead just kind of WITNESSING everything. Seeing what is present - and this 'seeing' can be a slow process or one that is very fast, especially with that sextile to Uranus. </p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 17.6px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 17.6px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Because we are talking about Pisces now, I am not thinking as much about that lead goose approaching a lake as I am thinking about us <i>being</i> the lake and <i>seeing</i> the geese approaching. </p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 17.6px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 17.6px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">In April when Jupiter and Uranus meet in Taurus, they will meet at 21 degrees. 21 is called 'biting through' and is a thunder/lightning "cracking something open" type of energy. 21 is a big deal number. I also see it as Juno's number. Connected to Saturn. The energy that is 'next to' power/next to the king. <span style="font-size: 17.6px;">Power is the 22. In the iChing 22 is 'beauty'. This is a master number in numerology and I see 22 as THE power number/the king.

In nature - beauty is born, peaks and fades. Most of the heartache on Earth is us trying to change this cycle that can't be changed and hold onto the peak!

And we have Mars squaring Uranus with a freshly minted Mercury in Aries answering to this tense/frustrated Mars - words can be fired off carelessly, actions taken impulsively and with the New Moon sandwiched between reality and non-reality where anything happening now is actually going to land is very hard, if not impossible, to <i>know. </i>Dis-connections now can be permanent, keep this in mind</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;">The New Moon opposes Black Moon Lilith. BML is on her trek through Virgo until June. An earthy Virgo opposition, to <i>anything</i> now might not be such a bad thing, with all this illusive Pisces. But it also pulls in a SCAPEGOAT energy onto which we can project all the crap we don't want to see about ourselves/our situation. If we can avoid <i>that </i>and avoidance itself is Piscean, so this might take effort, but if we can avoid the BML scapegoating and the Virgo judging/criticism and just SEE what life is showing us - and the skies are dark, so again, this is going to take a bit of EFFORT - we will be able to see connections with things - and especially with things bigger than ourselves and our current circumstances - in new, and maybe even magical and certainly <i>healing</i> ways. Self-acceptance will be key here. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;">The New Moon squares Vesta in Gemini. Now this one is applying, so strong, and the Moon reaches this exact square within hours and the Sun reaches this exact square within days. Vesta is making her third, and final, pass over this area of Gemini - and since this is repeating the - third time lucky, three strikes you're out - thing of the "20" degree Moon, we will spend a little extra time here. Vesta in Gemini is making a final pass over a - fact, conversation, choice, idea, information, <i>duality</i>, etc - having looked at things from both sides by now and offering Luna, our emotional self, her best take on the situation. Vesta is the keeper of the flame that must be kept lit/our sacred devotion - so, in Gemini - and she finally exists Gemini at the end of this month - we get to QUESTION WHAT REALLY MATTERS TO US. Or maybe we are asked</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;"> to choose between two things.

The only way out of this madness looks to be that sextile to Uranus, the planet of change and holder of trauma, but that's separating, so also speaks of the fast changes that got us into this mess. If the Galactic Center is a kind of homing signal/emptiness and the world seems strange even if we can't always point out why AND the chart shows no need to rush and also maybe no need to hesitate - well, what do we do with THIS? Well, I suppose our best bet, besides watching out for self-sabotage, addiction/escapism (</span><i style="color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;">if you are in the U.S. with St Patrick's Day approaching, often a time with alot of drinking going on, you will probably want to be cautious with all this Pisces energy</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;">), scapegoating, obvious inherited messes - our best bet will be to figure out how to best work with these Pisces energies. The North Node is still traveling with Chiron - although they are separating - and we probably want to take note of where there is pressure to do things we don't want to do and where we are still doing/carrying things that have dried up. If we are using an overriding amount of our energy to keep ourselves safe/keep things the same - this is going to make things even more uncomfortable as that square to the Galactic Center is likely to bring us to cross-purposes with any realities we have outgrown.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;">BUT if we can use this New Moon energy to release/let drift away the stuff that is only lightly moored to us anyway - ask yourself, "why am I <i>still</i> doing this? having this? being this?" we might find ourselves sitting fallow for a bit - think of the emptiness of that Black Hole. And THEN almost surely we will be better able to access our intuition/CREATE from a cleaner space and we can see where we are. Where we stand. Or sit.

We are nurtured by <span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;">rules and boundaries and how many cans of peas we have lined up in our cupboard/dollars in our bank account. She sextiles the Pisces Sun. </span>The Moon's sextile to the Sun is this month's Waning Sextile preparing us for the New Moon in Pisces later in the week. The Sun is drifting/dreaming his way through Pisces and the Moon comes in and asks us to grow up/focus/take something seriously. The Moon in Capricorn can be cold/demanding - brings in structure. Rules. Limits. The sextile is an opportunistic aspect if we take some kind of RELEASING ACTION now. Is there some escapist tendency that needs to go? At the same time, Luna's square to the Nodes indicates a crossroads/choice point between the past and the future. This could require us to be more brave. More independent. Lean into that Cappy sextile - big girl/boy pants on. Step into your authority. Take whatever needs to be taken seriously, seriously. And, keep in mind the sextile is a WANING/UNWINDING aspect as we finish something serious/maybe work related up before the New Moon. </p><p><br /></p><p><b>WEDNESDAY -</b> Mars in Aquarius is sextiling Chiron in Aries. Logical/unemotional actions are healing very old wounds. Maybe we can take action for a cause/group that we could never take for ourselves. Don't take things personally now. The Moon in Cappy will help with this. Keep a cool head and maybe take a step back to get a broader/more detached view of things. Mars inconjunct to BML in Virgo can pull in health situations, procrastination issues, or, maybe very old shame around focusing on details, routine or the 'ordinary'. Self-acceptance, knowing we can take care of ourselves and be ourselves will be the key as well as taking care of uncomfortable health/detail issues. </p><p><br /></p><p><b>FRIDAY -</b> Mercury, finishing up in Pisces, catches up with Neptune at 27 degrees, squaring the Galactic Center. <b>We will talk about this in the New Moon post next.</b> For better or worse, Mercury/Neptune can make it hard to see what is real. Maybe hard to focus. Not everything we are reading/hearing will be <i>true. </i>It's easy energy to get sick/drift off course. On the other hand, conversations/words can be more compassionate. Our intuition will be high. Our thinking CREATIVE. Maybe nostalgic. Mercury will change signs before this weekend's New Moon in Pisces, but his/her meeting with Pisces ruler Neptune now is part of that <i>story. </i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><b>SATURDAY</b>, Mercury enters Aries. Our words become more focused, energetic, maybe passionate, maybe angry. The conversation changes. New ideas are forming. Due to Mercury's upcoming retrograde he/she will be in Aries until May 15th, so we will going back and forth over all of this! </p><p><br /></p><p>Where Mercury is today is where Mars will be at the Spring Equinox in a couple weeks, so something NOW could connect us to THEN. Mercury begins answering to Mars, who moves into his square with Uranus (<i>following Venus's footsteps from last weekend</i>) as the Sun moves into a sextile with Uranus. </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">Mars/Uranus squares are DISRUPTIVE.

Also keep in mind Mercury's move into Aries - words can be fast and furious.

Clearing the ground. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is the last lunar cycle before Eclipse season kicks off with a bang at the end of the month.

Walk our talk. Ceres in Cappy is the winter mother, so not prone to any over-mothering style cushioning. So, our 'intuitive/feeling what everyone is saying' Mercury in Pisces can get some reality based connection - here is what is expected of you, here are the limits, here is your responsibility, here is where structure/authority can help. Anytime Pisces creates a portal with Cappy through planetary bodies - we have the opportunity to ground something/give legs to something that is less than solid. Make the dream real. Or, conversely, if we are Ceres here, have access to something more idealistic, compassionate, artistic, other-worldly if we are mired in the nitty-gritty reality. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></p><p><b>TUESDAY - Mars, moving through Aquarius, reaches his square to Jupiter in Taurus.</b> Actions can be LUCKY.

Results come in.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;">Because, even when daddy-Saturn is drunk on the sofa, he still, quite uncannily at times and often in response to company (<i>ie contact with other energies</i>), will shake himself awake, and ask, even if somewhat groggily, "what the hell is this? what is going on here?". He sits up. He puts his foot down. BOOM. Full stop.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;">And, since he is not totally himself here, deadlines and lines in the sand and anything we have been AVOIDING (<i>if this is what we are seeing</i>) can be stark/CHALLENGING. Maybe even look bigger than these things actually are since we are looking through <i>water. </i></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;">Still, action must be taken. And, the follow up opportunistic sextiles to Jupiter, tells us our actions/what we do with what we are shown - are creating OPPORTUNITIES. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;">This is Saturn, so commitments made now will be <i>sticky. </i></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;">Not sticky/sticky like when Saturn was in Cappy or Aquarius, but turning this train around after this will take some major efforting. Notice what you are agreeing to. With the Sun and Mercury in Pisces, our <b>boundaries are porous</b>, our thinking intuitive and imaginative, but certainly not rock-solid, and Saturn, shaken awake by his need to clean house for guests, will require we <b>tighten things up. </b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;">We don't want this ship to sink. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;">The Sun shines the light where it needs to go. YOU NEED TO SEE THIS. Your life source needs to see this. Mercury's words and conversations, if they have been a little woo-woo or escapist in Pisces, get more SOBER. Our Pisces house is AWAKE. And this is the house where we are most likely to let things </span><i>slide</i><span style="background-color: white;">. Saturn asks if we want things to slide right into the rocks.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;">So, maybe Saturn adds just enough weight, an anchor is tossed into the moving water - <b>we take something seriously that we need to take seriously. </b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;">Powerfully imaginative ideas - no boundaries! - can be born. And this is happening with Mars in Aquarius - I want to do this and I want to do this now and future me will thank me for this - in a square to Jupiter - think BIGGER or bolder Mars! Have some faith man.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;">And, yes, this could be a recipe for disaster, there is always that, but also, maybe, was every great thing that ever mattered/was ever born.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;">Mercury is powered up by his meeting with the king (<i>Sun</i>) and the manager (<i>Saturn</i>). </span><span style="background-color: white;">Multiple new chapters are starting here and remember this is Pisces, so things will need to be flexible, imaginative, spiritual. Prayer is very powerful. Our thoughts, our words are the most powerful tools we have. Mercury and the Sun will move on to sextile Jupiter - OPPORTUNITIES CAN COME OF THIS, if we take advantage of them and if we SEE what this triple conjunction now is showing us/offering us.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>THURSDAY - Now Mercury is in his sextile - creative opportunity - with Jupiter. </b>Do you feel lucky? Well, YOU ARE. Good news could come in. Good for business/money. Know how powerful words are now. Watch your language. No moaning and groaning unless this is something you want to GROW. Do you want more things to moan and groan about? I don't think so! Talk about what you do want. Make plans. Venus is sextiling the North Node and trining the South Node. This is the best of both worlds with our Libra/Aries axis. We can easily access Libran civilities and diplomacy and beauty and by moving and taking action in a new, more self-sustaining, brave and independent direction - well, more CREATIVE OPPORTUNITY. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: x-large;">The caveat with Jupiter, who is made entirely of gases, and maybe especially as a follow-up aspect to Mercury/Sun/Saturn is any tendency to GO TOO FAR. Maybe we have to go out on the limb a bit here, but not one of those itty bitty limbs that obviously will not hold our weight. Things can ABSOLUTELY sound better than they end up being, so keep this in mind here. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>FRIDAY - Now, the Sun is sextiling Jupiter!</b> More luck. Confidence. Reaching for something MORE. Faith and optimism can pay off. A guru/teacher could show up.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;">Again, can we overdo this? Yes, of course. Can some of this turn out to be smoke and mirrors? YES, of course. This is a Pisces Sun - use your imagination, intuition, compassion. Too big a bite can come back to bite us, but we are still going to need to <b>EAT</b>. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;">Sextiles are smooth flow, but unlike trines, require EFFORT. Look at your natal chart. This is also YOUR natal Sun and YOUR natal Jupiter - because astrology is <i>symbolic</i> - creating an </span><b>OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU</b><span style="background-color: white;">. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;">With Mercury in Pisces, our brain may be on drugs, but it is also </span><i>unhampered by limits.</i><span style="background-color: white;"> Miracles are possible this week. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>SUNDAY - Venus in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus while we have the Third Quarter Moon in Sagittarius.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;">Let's look at that aspect first. We had the Full Moon last week in Virgo, with the Moon out-manned and opposed by that Pisces pile-up. Still, we needed to do our Virgo - small accurate steps, quality work, not be a critical assh*le. Now the Moon has moved on to 13 degrees Sagittarius and into a tense square with the Sun, still in Pisces and still in his pow-wow with Saturn, and Mercury, too, although Mercury is quickly moving on. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;">Here, the Moon is kind of echoing this week's Jupiter aspects but through tension and frustration. Coming into the same room through another door. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;">Showing us the need to SEE THE TRUTH - not get lost in the Pisces dreamy waters. And, also, the need for some Jupertarian risk and exploration/we can't just meditate all day. Remember we are in the waning Moon cycle when things are falling away/being released. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;">This is happening as Venus in smart Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus - and keep in mind Uranus is answering to Venus and Venus is answering to Uranus. Their mutual reception helps us. Maybe a lot. Venus can get to Taurus through Uranus - so by being more herself, more logical/detached, future-focused and trying something different AND Uranus can get to Aquarius through Venus - so by being more loving, civil, making things more beautiful, taking care of his existing resources. This is still a square though, so happening through tension/frustration. Changes with money/relationships. This can be necessary, but is DISRUPTIVE.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>Break-ups. Breakdowns. Breakthroughs. </b>Unexpected expenses or changes with resources. Unexpected ATTRACTIONS. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;">This is a time to notice what needs to change - and CHANGE IT. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;">This would <i>not</i> be the time to be giving people ultimatums or demanding commitments. Anything even slightly tight will feel like a dog collar, so forewarned is forearmed. Breathing room is needed. The mutual reception will help. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;">By now, the Moon is in Sagittarius and sextiling Venus, so the way through this square is the Sag energy AGAIN. Optimism. Faith. Some risk/adventure, but not too much risk/adventure. </span><span style="background-color: white;">What's that old line - "set it free and if it comes back to you it is yours, if it doesn't, it never was". </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;">Maybe it's something like that. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The bottom line this week is whatever RESULT Saturn shows up with, is an OPPORTUNITY. This is something you have EARNED. It could be GOOD NEWS, and, even in the worst case, when it is really <i>not</i> something you want to see or have to deal with, there is a way to use this as a motivation or springboard to </span><i><span style="font-size: x-large;">improve your situation.</span> </i></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;">THREE NEW CYCLES ARE STARTING - a Sun/Saturn, a Mercury/Saturn and a Mercury/Sun - and all the cycles are in an opportunistic sextile to that expansive Jupiter in Taurus. This is good news even if the news doesn't feel so good, if you see what I mean. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;">xo all</span></p>Catherine Ivinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01642469475264570967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3644717516426101893.post-57388299436629439392024-02-23T18:02:00.002-05:002024-02-23T18:03:29.519-05:00full moon in virgo | february 24th, 2024 - work or health situation coming to light, reality checks, a need to get organized and a grip on our day to day, what's working and what isn't, sober assistance and opportunities incoming <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI0UM2dVzAJ1Zk2iWyJ5sx3riRjojzEBapYIaEhpo7MysOHY02tX5vBM_ke1jQwVC0i_W3XwfgMdJysz5tW71ECv3kHdIy3MSDCXtwtsX6xn-0G6LmMqKlt9LhfZC-Ex1UbhaNXU7o4NT6LqBaNa5KuB-0ibNte8w-jn5cgMxD5FUOUI30kl398_3YGF2x/s622/cativins_retro_paint_by_number_a_bird_in_a_birdcage_in_a_living_a1668daf-c6d7-4f24-b7c8-5ca25e5e1d18%20copy%20%281%29.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="622" data-original-width="622" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI0UM2dVzAJ1Zk2iWyJ5sx3riRjojzEBapYIaEhpo7MysOHY02tX5vBM_ke1jQwVC0i_W3XwfgMdJysz5tW71ECv3kHdIy3MSDCXtwtsX6xn-0G6LmMqKlt9LhfZC-Ex1UbhaNXU7o4NT6LqBaNa5KuB-0ibNte8w-jn5cgMxD5FUOUI30kl398_3YGF2x/s600/cativins_retro_paint_by_number_a_bird_in_a_birdcage_in_a_living_a1668daf-c6d7-4f24-b7c8-5ca25e5e1d18%20copy%20%281%29.jpg" width="600" /></a></div>

The Full Moon squares Pallas in Sagittarius. Mercury, ruler of Virgo and so ruler of this lunation is conjunct the Sun - blown out by the Sun. Chiron is conjunct the North Node - exact by degree.

This is our wound/vulnerability merging with the future. This pain/what hurts is part of the way forward. Keep in mind Aries is the first sign, so doesn't need to have all the answers. Like the Fool in tarot (<i>and Aries ain't nobody's fool</i>) we move ahead with a kind of fool's/newbie's courage. Chiron was also a healer and a teacher and a mentor and for many people the way forward will involve opportunities like these. We could also meet someone like this who has a strong impact on our future. You don't have to have all the answers to move ahead with this energy. The future isn't so much about the answers as it is about asking new questions and embracing new solutions.

Our masculine and feminine energies are working together/merged. What we want and what we have to do to get what we want are aligned.

The North Node, always retrograde and moving backward, had a WHOLE LOT of ground to cover before reaching the middle of Aries to meet Chiron. Their conjunction is not a frequent one. They both have to be in just the right place at just the right time. For example when the North Node (<i>always retrograding backward</i>) was in Taurus and Gemini and Cancer and Leo and Virgo, etc - Chiron wasn't and they didn't meet. When Chiron was in Pisces, from 2010 - 2019, the North Node wasn't. You get the idea.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">A rare conjunction happening during all these mega-Aquarius seedings is something we want to be paying attention to. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Aries is our first fire sign. It's how we start, initiate, go after what we want. Aries rules young men, anger, our head, courage, the way we move through life/lead both bravely and foolishly. Aries ruler Mars moved into Aquarius last week.</span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">So against this Arian/Aquarian backdrop the North Node - our fated/best path forward - is activated through this contact with Chiron. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">THE NORTH NODE - <span face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">represents the kinds of experiences we must <i>develop</i> in order to deal with our karma and <i>grow</i> spiritually. The South Node represents the qualities that come naturally to us and that we are more prone to fall back on. Sometimes the South Node can be a point of 'undoing from over-doing' if we avoid the North Node energies. Right now the North Node is in Aries and the South Nodes is in Libra. This is an axis of me vs you or maybe even more precisely me vs what I have projected onto you. We also have a North and South Node and a Chiron in our own personal natal chart that would be activated now, as well as an Aries house with a particular theme where this story is all playing out. </span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">CHIRON - whose glyph looks like a KEY is classified as both a comet and an asteroid.

After many years of suffering a deal is brokered with Zeus (<i>Jupiter</i>) for Chiron to replace Prometheus (<i>of the 'giving fire to the people' fame</i>) who had been chained to a rock, every night having his liver pecked out by an eagle.

Something very old and very deep that can likely<i> never be totally cured or escaped. </i>There is something here about facing the unfairness of life without resentment and cynicism and the things we must learn to live with. Something maybe about our mortal limits and our immortal story. Maybe something about helping others in ways we cannot help ourselves (<i>Chiron getting Prometheus off that rock</i>), adoption including step-parenting, actual physical damage ie medical and health issues, psychological damage, rejection wounds, <b>OUR WILL TO LIVE</b>. In Aries - there is something about our ability to take care of ourselves and be ourselves, be motivated and initiate, have courage, our relationship with our masculine energy - there is <i>alot</i> to work with here.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">So, we have Chiron meeting up with the North Node of Fate at 16 degrees Aries with Mars (<i>ruler of Aries</i>) in Aquarius, the sign of the future. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">People with natal Chiron/North Node aspects, as well as people with planets and points at or very near 16 degrees Aries - and the other cardinal signs, may be most directly impacted but <b>w</b></span><b style="color: #333333;">e will all have access to this energetic portal. </b><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">Hubs and my progressed Suns are both at 16 degrees Aries right now - amazing how they have caught up with each other at just this time, since we are born 3 years and 4 days apart.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">(<i>Your progressed chart, especially your progressed Moon and Sun, is something you might want to look at/keep up with - your chart progresses one day for every year you are alive, so if you turned 30 years old today, your progressed chart would be the chart for the day 30 days after you were born.

He is always connected in my mind to Chiron - both mother-deprived and wounded by <i>that</i>, with Hercules' wound showing up more narcissistic/brave/heroic and Chiron's more self-sacrificing/giving/heroic, one life changed from mortal to immortal (<i>Hercules</i>) and the other from immortal to mortal (<i>Chiron</i>), both through choosing death over enduring prolonged pain - kind of two sides of the same coin. And Hercules death/rebirth from mortal to God coming a<b>s </b>he throws off the poisoned tunic (<i>something else their stories have in common is poison</i>) which could be thought of as a<b> metaphor for an identity (</b><i style="font-weight: bold;">Aries</i><b>) that is killing us (</b><i style="font-weight: bold;">Mars with Pluto</i><b>). </b></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">If Chiron in Aries is the KEY TO UNLOCKING these new Aquarian frequencies, well, what would that look like?</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><p>Since this conjunction has come within days of Mars meeting up with Pluto, let's think about <i>that.</i> Pluto is the sign of ELIMINATION which means both elimination - ie what we eliminate, and is also a less jolting way of saying <i>death. </i>So, for example if Mars/Pluto is the end of 'anger' - we are just not so pissed off anymore. Emotions are just 'energy in motion' so very susceptible to energetic changes. Then our job would be to be able to motivate ourselves/take action without the 'anger'. Whatever we were 'getting' out of being angry is gone, too. It's tricky to see how some things are connected, but this is a long game (<i>really a preview of the big game</i>) and we have some time yet. </p><p><br /></p><p>The whole "losing an identity that is killing us" feels both Chiron/NN and Mars/Pluto, too. </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Noto Serif", serif; font-size: 19px; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">”Unlived life does not sit idly on the shelf.

Notice what changes within yourself will be needed to work with the currents of change we are collectively and personally feeling. </span> </p><p><br /></p><p>With Chiron representing both a psychological and a <i>physical</i> wound it could be a wound or vulnerability or an illness that lines us up with our best Arian path forward now. I have a family member with a gnarly and exact fixed T-Square to Chiron in Aquarius involving her Sun and Jupiter who has had major health issues for her entire life. Our path forward could involve confronting what hurts in a health situation. Maybe by not allowing it to hold us back or maybe just by working the process of whatever we are dealing with. </p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Pain and our new direction might be somehow connected. </b>A need for new action could stir up things we don't want to deal with. The payoff will be Arian - an increased enthusiasm, motivation, sense of wholeness and WILL TO LIVE. </p><p><br /></p><p>There might also be something stirred up about RAGE at what we perceive as being unfairly victimized. Depression if our Aries impulsive is thwarted. There could be something that comes up about our sense of entitlement/what we <i>should</i> have or the way something <i>should </i>have played out. </p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe being on a path where we are healing ourselves by healing others is the way this is being activated for us. Jung, born with Chiron in Aries said that, "only a wounded physician could heal effectively". </p><p><br /></p><p>Almost certainly our path forward involves dealing with a very old wound. Your natal Chiron by sign and placement will tell a more complete story. </p><p><br /></p><p>And it will pay for us to keep in mind that Chiron was wounded <i>twice</i>. It was the earliest rejection by his mother that drove Chiron to excel at so many things. The feeling of never being enough. Maybe the fear of conflict rooted in our survival instincts. </p><p><br /></p><p>These are all things to think about now. And alot of this may be playing out within our closest relationships. </p><p><br /></p><p>With Chiron exact to the second (!) the Moon/Sun at April's BIG Eclipse, something now/this week is designed to line us up with <i>that </i>Eclipse. All these conjunctions in February are NEW starting energies. Many, many seeds are being planted. Some consciously and some unconsciously. Pay attention to what you are giving your attention to. Pay attention to what YOU ARE WATERING. </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">With the Aries energy tossed into the mix, and with Mars passing over scary-ass Pluto in Aquarius (<i>the future</i>) much of what we are fearing is because of its capacity to change us, to upset our identity/our apple cart/<b>the status quo</b>. But, honestly, we wouldn't be alive right now if we didn't want to upset the status quo - this is something we have ALREADY collectively chosen. </span></p><p><br /></p><p>The game is changing and we might all need new name tags at some point. </p><p><br /></p><p>Hopefully not something like a QR code that we tattoo on our forehead and then we all walk around scanning people and meeting them without meeting them :)</p><p><br /></p><p>xo all</p>Catherine Ivinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01642469475264570967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3644717516426101893.post-53292270584479331022024-02-15T08:48:00.006-05:002024-02-16T08:40:32.810-05:00Today's astrology forecast | Friday, February 16th, 2024 - mercury squares uranus and Venus heads into aquarius to meet pluto, first quarter square moon then long void<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijiNOsbvNY9pGJJBFyTRBPrMbV_vajeRRG7Wmhrq7u-DxiHrWC1rZoj_P2Ln60-uhOSvpmDnFfkTvgp2BPgdHucmNyx-GW68ApheIBYEo91Dl2J3XdkZI4NmBMxKVogfAv3LgG0fj7a-i9XYEO_TLu7y8uMd8Kr06q8AIrGQxFB_nVpoprSh0cuCbt5OQf/s622/cativins_beautiful_woman_on_planet_pluto_minimal_conceptual_ret_316d0310-bf26-404d-b25d-96e5702d440f.webp" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="622" data-original-width="622" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijiNOsbvNY9pGJJBFyTRBPrMbV_vajeRRG7Wmhrq7u-DxiHrWC1rZoj_P2Ln60-uhOSvpmDnFfkTvgp2BPgdHucmNyx-GW68ApheIBYEo91Dl2J3XdkZI4NmBMxKVogfAv3LgG0fj7a-i9XYEO_TLu7y8uMd8Kr06q8AIrGQxFB_nVpoprSh0cuCbt5OQf/s600/cativins_beautiful_woman_on_planet_pluto_minimal_conceptual_ret_316d0310-bf26-404d-b25d-96e5702d440f.webp" width="600" /></a></div>

The Sun in Aquarius has a certain kind of brilliance and wants a certain kind of freedom. The Moon in comfort-seeking Taurus comes in at a tense angle to remind us of our need for <i>physical contentment, too</i>. Safety. Security. Things that feel good and not just new or unusual. First quarter Moons, and all squares really, compel us to TAKE ACTION. In this case, what do you need to do to feel more <i>comfortable? </i>What is your body saying? If you can't make yourself get up and do something, do you really have to do it? Maybe we need to be better grounded in the present before we can move forward. This doesn't mean avoiding action, but maybe it changes the actions we take. Keep in mind the void moon, too.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is also the day Mercury squares Uranus and Venus enters Aquarius for tomorrow's meet-up with Pluto - and remember any of this week's aspects, other than the Moon's, can be felt in the build-up or the release, too, so are in play all week.

<span><a name='more'></a></span><p><br /></p><p>The Moon moves from Aries to Taurus today. In a way, echoing today's Mars and Venus aspects. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Moon in Aries will sextile the Sun and then go void at 5:20AM EST off a square to Venus. The sextile is Aquarius/Aries. This is our month's waxing sextile - some opportunity to move forward that comes through last week's New Moon in Aquarius story. The Moon in Aries pulls in courage and initiative and impulse. Aquarius adds smarts and speed and just the right amount of distance/detachment. If we are 'going for it' this energy is helpful.</p><p><br /></p><p>The square to Venus is testy though and has the final say here. When the feminine energies are at odds, there isn't resolution until the energies shift, which they do as the Moon moves into Taurus, the sign of her exaltation and Luna starts answering to Venus. </p><p><br /></p><p>My mid-morning the Moon in Taurus will square Pluto and Mars who have caught up with each other while we slept.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is likely to be UNCOMFORTABLE. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just know this going in. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Moon in Taurus seeks comfort and stability and refinement and Mars/Pluto in Aquarius is ANYTHING BUT. That's ok. This is all divine timing. Playing out as it should. By late night the Moon in Taurus will reach her smooth sextile to Saturn in Pisces. This is echoing what Venus is doing today and is one of the ways through the lunar square if we need it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Mars meets Pluto in Aquarius for the first time in hundreds of years. THIS IS INTENSE, especially for people with early degree fixed placements. </p><p><br /></p><p>We talked about this in the weekly <b><a href="https://olivebites.blogspot.com/2024/02/weekly-astrology-forecast-february-12th.html" target="_blank">HERE</a></b>.</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span>The Mars/Pluto today is best played - if this is hitting our chart and our life and if it is we won't be able to miss it - by acting smartly and quickly on impulse. By playing to win ("</span><i>by any means necessary" will come back to bite us, sometimes the bite is worth the win, but sometimes it isn't - just keep this in mind</i><span>). </span></span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>And for all of us - this is a good time to be initiating something or taking action with something we have been afraid to tackle/deal with. </b>This doesn't have to be some big thing. Even small things will have energy and sticking power. </span></p><div><br /></div><div>Our control tendencies, fears, obsessions can come up to be dealt with. Note 'dealt with' is not the same thing as <i>acting on them. </i>But, this is something we are going to be dealing with for the next couple years, so it can't be just pushed down. Pluto smothers. He doesn't GET smothered. How can we work this thing in a healthier way. Keep in mind the North Node - our collective way forward - is in Aries and answering to Mars. Our courage, our initiative, our showing up is NEEDED. But we don't want to hurt someone else or get hurt unnecessarily. Remember the New Moon's advice to SEE the new landscape. This isn't the same old Mars meeting the same old Pluto like back in March 2022 when they met in Capricorn. This is DIFFERENT. And not knowing exactly what that difference is, is OK, because this is brand new territory. </div><div><br /></div>
Venus's sextile to Neptune is another way to go if this is all too much. A higher road. Universal love. We aren't letting everything slip and slide, but yes, some things are left slipping and sliding. This is Cappy/Pisces - the dream and the work we need to do to manifest it. With this connection to Neptune in watery Pisces, Venus in Cappy softens. This adds compassion and something more unconditional. IT IS VALENTINE'S DAY AFTER ALL. <div><br /></div><div>The sextile won't be as strong as that square, but it's THERE if we need it. And we might. </div><div><br /></div><div>Mars and Pluto will meet again in early 2026. </div><div><br /></div><div>By 2026, Pluto will be at 3 degrees Aquarius. So, you can see how slow and intense this process is. January 2026 is when the stuff we are starting now will be coming full cycle (<i>just like the March 2022 Capricorn stuff is coming full circle now</i>). Jupiter will be in Cancer. Saturn will be breathing down Neptune's neck. The North Node will be well into PISCES. </div><div><br /></div><div>For now, be brave. Be smart. </div><div><br /></div><div>Any intensity we are dealing with/attracting is happening for a needed reason and whether that reason is for Pluto to burn this stuff off NOW, to wake us up, show us our shadow impulses or control issues or rebellion or the way we use/abuse or run from power - whatever this is, the Aquarius energy, which is friendly to Mars, is the space we can do this in a NEW, smart and more constructive and future-focused and group friendly way. </div><div><br /></div><div>If the collective news is too much/too dark, channel the Venus/Neptune and let it slide off your back like water from a duck.

The curtain is <i>rising. </i></p><p><br /></p><p>Mars, the planet of our energy, action, drive, passion and anger moves into forward-facing and unconventional Aquarius where he quickly meets up with powerful Pluto, the planet of TRANSFORMATION. </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>When these guys merge - mountains can be moved!</b> </span></p><p><br /></p><p>This is the ancient and modern rulers of Scorpio coming together to launch a new cycle. The planet of war and the planet of death. Yes, that sounds scary, but it DOESN'T HAVE TO BE. This is also the planet of action and initiative and courage meeting the planet that holds the power to make big things HAPPEN in the sign of the new and innovative. </p><p><br /></p><p>What we want and the way we go about getting what we want is being SEEDED in the new Aquarius soil. </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;">If we can work the best of the Mars in Aquarius energies over the next few weeks - innovative action, movement that creates greater freedom, idealistic courage, starting something that </span><i style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: x-large; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 1.625; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">sticks, </i><span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: x-large; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 1.625; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">then Pluto's position, right now, will add the kick-off depth and intensity for this to go the distance. We can transform fear to power through courage, action and initiative.</span></p><p><br /></p><p>Remember the old VCRs with the fast forward buttons. You could just forward while the VCR was playing the tape or you could stop playing the tape and hit FAST FORWARD. Things/situations set into motion now will have that FAST FORWARD built right into them. </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">FORTUNE FAVORS THE BOLD.</span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">There is a 'Danger Will Robinson' energy here, too - I am not going to sugar coat <i>that</i>, but what we really lose if we hide under our bedcovers this week and ignore our URGES is the opportunity for real breakthroughs that can lead to AUTHENTIC POWER and transformation</span>. </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">We will see and feel our power and our lack of power/the power we have projected onto other people and how this is and <i>isn't</i> working for us. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">World events will likely be BIG. No one will want to be <i>controlled.</i> Again, with our current North and South Nodes - imbalanced relationships are highlighted. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">We are in the Waxing Moon phase - something in our life is growing and this week there are multiple portals we can use to blast through inertia/the status quo and make REAL PROGRESS. Things we begin now will have strong energy embedded within them and be <i>hard to stop. </i></span></p><p><br /></p><p>Venus is going to meet up with Pluto, too, creating INTENSE ATTRACTIONS. We want <i>that.</i> We must have <i>this.</i> This shouldn't be ignored either, although it shouldn't always be acted on. Why do we want <i>that</i>? Why must we have <i>this</i>? Is there a hole in our power/chink in our armor we are trying to fill or do we really NEED this? We could pay quite a high price for getting what we want here. Just know this going in. </p><p><br /></p><p>Happiness studies show happiness comes from wanting what we have and not from having what we want. </p><p><br /></p><p>New people we meet now/who and WHAT we 'fall in love with' can very quickly accelerate (<i>Aquarius</i>) into something deep and intense and intimate (<i>Pluto</i>). <b>Venus/Pluto in Aquarius can attract us to very complicated and CHAOTIC things, people and situations</b>. Compulsion, manipulation and obsession can be a Plutonian love language, so keep that in mind. Money can be made and money can be lost. Even <i>fortunes</i>. Take care with online purchases and passwords. Venus can also be the clean-up crew coming in after the Mars/Pluto massacre. Make-up sex comes to mind here. </p><p><br /></p><p>World events can be scary, might show us what we are afraid of. If a bleak future is presented, keep in mind, this is only one of <i>myriad</i> possibilities. Life seeks <i>life. </i>Mars meets Pluto every couple years and Venus meets Pluto every year - this is different because it is in Aquarius, but the energies themselves will be <i>familiar. </i></p><p><br /></p><p>Mercury is in a tricky space this week, so we need to think a minute about what we are saying, thinking and learning. And this won't be an easy thing to do. We will want to slide back - his/her trine to that South Node in Libra - into old styles of conversation and old ideas. This can be a good thing if cooperation/civility is needed, but might also, if our fears are running the show, make it easy to make some half-assed passive-aggressive statements that don't serve us. </p><p><br /></p><p>Allow yourself to sit with any uncomfortable energy until the right/best (<i>not perfect</i>) words are stirred up. </p><p><br /></p><p>Mercury's sextile to the North Node in independent/brave Aries takes a little more work to access, but that portal is open, too. </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">Mercury's square to Uranus speaks of surprises with our money and resources. This could also be about us or someone else blurting out something that we (<i>or they</i>) may or may not regret. Jarring statements and information are par for the course this week and might be how our relationship with POWER - for better or worse - is illuminated for us.</span> </p><p><br /></p><p>Remember Plutonian power is the power of the <i>underworld </i>and we have to get down into the mud to get it. There is always a <i>price to be paid </i>- a shadow side to Plutonian power<i>. </i>The stuff that is underneath the brass ring's shiny glow is going to come up/back around. </p><p><br /></p><p>(<i>Saturnian power - what we have earned, or our ancestors have via sweat equity and responsibility - or Jupiterian power - what we have earned or our ancestors have via courage and confidence and generosity - have their underbellies, too, but Plutonian underbellies have quite a unique BITE</i>)</p><p><br /></p><p>I'll do some lunar-focused dailies, so we can check out the Moon and take our, and everyone else's, emotional temperature. There is no point in doing a day by day forecast today. This week will probably take on a life of its own. </p><p><br /></p><p>We will wake on MONDAY morning (EST) to a void Moon which will quickly move into Aries and an opportunistic sextile with Pluto at 9:35AM EST - our energy increases, WE ARE FEELING THAT WE CAN DO IT - and this sets the tone for the week ahead.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I write this on Sunday morning, the Moon is floating though dreamy Pisces sextiling Mars at the end of Capricorn - the end of the world that Saturn built - just enough EARTH to ground us in ourselves, in our old familiar goals and responsibilities, in the land of our fathers - before this week's energy from the FUTURE, which we are READY FOR, or not :) barrels in.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Moon is waxing. Something is <i>growing. </i></p><p><br /></p><p>Take care of your nervous system. Unplug. Social media would be the drug to avoid now. We are moving from earth to air and from air to water. Take your vitamins. <b>Move your body. </b>Get enough rest. </p><p><br /></p><p><b>This IS NOT the time to avoid action. Not the time to hide</b>. Follow your motivations.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just don't be an assh*le. Pluto/Mars, and even Venus/Pluto, can be dangerous. Depending on your natal chart and current relationship to power and love and money - you could hurt someone or be hurt. </p><p><br /></p><p>This isn't a race. Trust the process of Aquarius. It is just getting started. Life is about the process not the arrival, the journey and not the destination. Pay attention. We are letting go of alot of old drama and we don't want to just pull ourselves into a whole new drama because drama/chaos is just so damn <i>comfortable </i>to us if we are in any kind of traumatized state. And we <strike>could be</strike> probably are after the last few years. </p><p><br /></p><p>If something this week stirs your passions, wakes up your motivations and even pushes your buttons - it has done its job. It's a brand new landscape folks. Remember that lead goose ....</p><p><br /></p><p>xo all - back with some dailies</p><p><br /></p><p>Note - if the Mercury/Pluto last week brought some blow-up or power struggle to a head, this week's Mars/Pluto could reactivate that energy/stir your passions and temper around <i>that</i>, so keep that in mind. </p>Catherine Ivinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01642469475264570967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3644717516426101893.post-44367124924995275242024-02-10T18:08:00.045-05:002024-02-11T12:46:27.535-05:00huge change is seeded in february as authority and security drifts, the potential for real and figurative lightning strikes increase, there is a need to not rush the revolution as we head into next week's big energies<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYS2lP7-gf2-62yYHtPB30m7icUGW40DxclePQkobNK6omtAixkFfxvMC5v4Bo6wgCaNR8PoNiBbgg2132FdY0WwkR2zHQZZ-2tjivFi7966SoyElOepjYVaAS8TcvpkPKWDkUARboaJE8iTFqFNyEXkPm10j8764eM3T7CNC_09D5MQAUzgT6c2nkEUO5/s622/cativins_flash_of_lightning_near_a_backyard_clothesline_vivid_c_b9ad59e4-602b-4a43-a542-9d7d5033e328.webp" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="622" data-original-width="622" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYS2lP7-gf2-62yYHtPB30m7icUGW40DxclePQkobNK6omtAixkFfxvMC5v4Bo6wgCaNR8PoNiBbgg2132FdY0WwkR2zHQZZ-2tjivFi7966SoyElOepjYVaAS8TcvpkPKWDkUARboaJE8iTFqFNyEXkPm10j8764eM3T7CNC_09D5MQAUzgT6c2nkEUO5/s600/cativins_flash_of_lightning_near_a_backyard_clothesline_vivid_c_b9ad59e4-602b-4a43-a542-9d7d5033e328.webp" width="600" /></a></div>
<span><a name='more'></a></span><p><br /></p><p>I read a story on Medium this morning written by a son about his 62 year old father. </p><p><br /></p><p>His father lost his construction business in 2008 when the housing market crashed/shifted/settled and he hasn't had a job <i>since</i>. He does little side things for friends, but has had nothing stable or consistent. The son stated his father didn't look for a job for a couple years and then had trouble due to his age (a<i>lthough in 2008 his 62 year old father would have been 46?</i>). Surely he was too particular with what he wanted. Maybe he was used to the freedom, and large chunks of cash, that came with his 'off-the-books' construction business. Remember before Pluto moved into Capricorn in 2008, Pluto was in high-flying Sagittarius. The switch from Sagittarius to Capricorn - which is something like college to work or adventure to responsibility or dating to marriage (<i>which is work</i>) - is hard, but necessary. </p><p><br /></p><p>So now, here we are 16 years later and his father is in trouble. The son's takeaway, and this might have been the title of the article that caught my eye, is that everyone needs a JOB. </p><p><br /></p><p>A nine-to-five where you get a steady salary and taxes withheld, even if you have a business or side-hustle. </p><p><br /></p><p>My takeaway is that this guy/the father SKIPPED the entire Pluto in Capricorn cycle - the sober and deadly serious "take the job, do your work, pay your taxes" 2008-2024 part of his life when he needed to be DOING THE RESPONSIBLE THING and is now struggling as that cycle closes out.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">The son's advice may be good, but it's TOO LATE because Pluto is in Aquarius now. </span></b> </p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">It got me thinking that we don't want to miss the Pluto in Aquarius cycle hanging onto the Pluto in Capricorn cycle. </span></p><p><br /></p><p>I think this is something we are going to talk about regularly this year before Pluto fully commits to Aquarius in November. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have also been thinking about Pluto in Aquarius now answering to Uranus AND Saturn. </p><p><br /></p><p>Remember in Capricorn he was only answering to Saturn, so I tend to focus on the switch to Uranus rulership, but we need to keep in mind Pluto is STILL answering to Saturn, too. Saturn can sometimes get lost (<i>by me, maybe because my natal Saturn is one degree from my Sun in Aquarius</i>) in the shuffle of thinking about the future-focused/group-centric Uranian energy. </p><p><br /></p><p>Right now - Saturn is in Pisces. He was in Pisces when Pluto went into Aquarius for his first pass last spring and he will be in Pisces when Pluto makes his final move into Aquarius next fall. </p><p><br /></p><p>Saturn isn't uber strong in Pisces. </p><p><br /></p><p>The lack of boundaries. The drifting off purpose. The weak authority. There is a reason Saturn rules both a cardinal and a fixed sign and an earth and an air sign, but not a mutable or a water sign. And Pisces is mutable water. </p><p><br /></p><p>We will keep in mind that Pluto will be in Aquarius for 20 years and Saturn will ONLY be in Pisces for about another year, but Saturn is in Pisces as Pluto has moved into Aquarius, <b>ALL THREE TIMES</b>. This is important. This matters/means something. Saturn in Pisces is answering to Neptune in Pisces. Neptune rules Pisces and IS strong. So, there is nowhere else for Saturn to go (<i>for example if Saturn was in Pisces and Neptune was in Aries, Saturn would still be answering to Neptune, but Arian energy ie Mars would be pulled into the mix, because Neptune would be in Aries</i>). </p><p><br /></p><p>Saturn in Pisces is IN Pisces with Neptune. Mutable water. No where else to go. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, what does this mean to Pluto/to us? </p><p><br /></p><p>Saturn in Pisces may not give us a strong backbone - but, maybe that's because we don't need a strong backbone right now, maybe a strong backbone would be counterproductive for Pluto in Aquarius right now - but SATURN CAN STILL, AND DOES, HAVE OUR BACK. Collectively we would get our strength/our stability through Pisces energy. </p><p><br /></p><p>Prayer. Music. Spirituality. Art. Compassion. Water/the ocean. Our ancestors/past lives. AND, because all this is complicated, we might be more <i>or</i> less comfortable with shows of vulnerability or weakness. More or less comfortable - depending on our natal Saturn - with anything that feels too woo-woo/out there. We might feel issues about being 'out-of-control' because the piece of authority we are collectively dealing with tends toward drifting/dissolving and we would instinctively KNOW this. </p><p><br /></p><p>Daddy can't be counted on right now. </p><p><br /></p><p>(<i>look at the example of Biden's progressed Sun in the 12th house now conjunct his South Node in Aquarius and Trump's progressed 12th house mega-stellium - with the 12th house, Pisces natural house, ruling things like prisons and hospitals and mental decline and maybe being up a creek without a paddle - AND the United States progressed Sun in Pisces with the progressed Moon applying to a conjunction and Uranus on the top of the chart!</i>)</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">Not being able to 'count on daddy' is part of this process of Pluto in Aquarius. And we know this is true because this is what is happening. </span></p><p><br /></p><p>Uranus is the co-ruler and modern ruler of Aquarius and Pluto was in Aquarius when Uranus was discovered in March 1781.</p><p><br /></p><p>Astrologically speaking, Uranus is connected to electricity and strikes of lightning, both literal and figurative, and was at 24 Gemini in his discovery chart - and if you have read any of my 'Saturday Night Mystery' posts you will recognize this degree as one of mayhem (<i>in my opinion, also conjunct my 23 Gemini part of fortune, more mayhem</i>). </p><p><br /></p><p>Benjamin Franklin, famous for many things including the discovery of electricity via his connection of the similarities between lightning and static electricity with his kite and key, has a natal Uranus, at 6 degrees Leo EXACT on the United States North Node. Franklin was almost certainly an astrologer and his astrological birth chart eerily echoes the United States chart (<i>the Sibly Declaration of Independence chart</i>). </p><p><br /></p><p>When Uranus was discovered in 1781, Franklin was in Paris to secure the Franco-American Alliance - an agreement with France to furnish critically needed military aid and loans to the thirteen American colonies during the American Revolution. Franklin returned to the United States in 1785 with the American Revolution (1775-1783) two years behind him, and, maybe, at least in part by having carried the lightning bolt of freedom/chaos with him, the French Revolution just two years away. </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">I am not saying Benjamin Franklin (<i>Mercury in Aquarius</i>) was a human lightning rod ... but I'm not saying he wasn't either.</span></p><p><br /></p><p>Actually, there <i>was</i> a guy who was nicknamed "the human lightning rod" and any doubt we have that Uranus, an outer planet, is the higher octave (<i>universal expression</i>) of the personal planet Mercury, and that Uranus/Aquarius are connected to electricity and LIGHTNING STRIKES</p><p><br /></p><p>(<i>liquid Mercury conducts electricity and I think connects Mercury to electricity, too, words are powerful and meaningful</i>) </p><p><br /></p><p>is erased when we look at the chart of park ranger Roy Sullivan.</p><p><br /></p><p>Roy was struck by lightning seven confirmed times, maybe <i>eight.</i> </p><p><br /></p><p>He was born in 1912 in Virginia with Mercury and Uranus EXACTLY conjunct at 0 degrees Aquarius and in a tight trine to Mars (<i>the trigger</i>) in Gemini (<i>the multiplier</i>) on his Ascendant (<i>his physical self</i>).</p><p><br /></p><p>After Roy's third or fourth lightning strike, people started avoiding him, he developed a strong fear of death (<i>who could blame him and you could imagine what was going on inside poor Roy's head with this chart - he also had Neptune in his 3rd house</i>) - and began to carry a can of water with him whenever he left the house. His wife, in a totally unrelated incident, was also struck by lightning while hanging laundry on their backyard clothesline. Roy died of a self inflicted gunshot wound with transiting Chiron (<i>wounding</i>) on his Mars/Ascendant opposing transiting Jupiter/Uranus in a tight conjunction and applying to his natal Jupiter (<i>the amplifier</i>). It was all too much for Roy ...</p><p><br /></p><p>It won't be for us. </p><p><br /></p><p>But we'll have to be smart about things. </p><p><br /></p><p>We have a BIG week ahead as the personal planets' meetings with Pluto this February continues, and Mars, the lower octave of Pluto, meets up with Pluto, the higher octave of Mars. </p><p><br /></p><p>Back with that post next. </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">In the meantime, keep in mind the lessons of the Aquarius New Moon cycle waxing now - yes, the revolution is here, but there is a need to take a smart/detached/grown-up breath and SEE the new landscape. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">If we rush things, the revolution starts too early and the whole process<b> </b></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>TURNS INTO A POWER STRUGGLE.</b></span><span style="font-size: xxx-large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">We don't want the lightning strike/key/kite (<i>how did that Franklin thing go anyway?</i>) that brought us electricity and everything amazing that has come after - to result in us lying facedown next to our backyard clothesline while someone douses our scorched hair with icy hose water.</span></p><p><br /></p><p>Timing is everything folks. </p><p><br /></p><p>xo all</p>Catherine Ivinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01642469475264570967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3644717516426101893.post-20276406029719698142024-02-08T20:28:00.004-05:002024-02-09T17:15:59.434-05:00New Moon in Aquarius | February 9th - shocks, disruptions and changes of direction, breakthroughs, break-ups, the king's surprise, the road less traveled, the year of the wood dragon kicks off with a bang<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-y7_7mk03l67MUhmNk5443F6gu4YYYB5wajocMYCCr5AUlnVtlzQE_sUHUCQRp3gq4A37LOfMaUjfD4o00gTxjEiXa_iMFvWAA41Eycpo_Ph4uVAQy9QcHJOlGgiPJbFDmD2spIJhyrPYv9f7ae4GfyYoH__DdtTg9ruqTrGPMC8H-BcZcYFSsndSbtya/s621/cativins_retro_paint_by_number_vibrant_colors_camping_scene_83130951-d48e-4c8d-bc30-512edcaa6b90%20copy%20%281%29.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="621" data-original-width="621" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-y7_7mk03l67MUhmNk5443F6gu4YYYB5wajocMYCCr5AUlnVtlzQE_sUHUCQRp3gq4A37LOfMaUjfD4o00gTxjEiXa_iMFvWAA41Eycpo_Ph4uVAQy9QcHJOlGgiPJbFDmD2spIJhyrPYv9f7ae4GfyYoH__DdtTg9ruqTrGPMC8H-BcZcYFSsndSbtya/s600/cativins_retro_paint_by_number_vibrant_colors_camping_scene_83130951-d48e-4c8d-bc30-512edcaa6b90%20copy%20%281%29.jpg" width="600" /></a></div>

The Moon squares Uranus and trines Vesta and Juno. The Moon is sextiling the Chiron/North Node conjunction. Uranus and Saturn are the co-rulers of this New Moon as the co-rulers of Aquarius. Saturn is in Pisces and sextiling Jupiter. Uranus is in Taurus, squaring the Moon and trining Venus. </p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 17.6px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: 17.6px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Aquarius moons are always kind of <i style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.625; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">uncomfortable.</i> This is fixed air.

Then the Moon flows very nicely through Pisces over the next couple days, closing out with an opportunistic sextile with Mars in Cappy. Pisces/Cappy - making the dream real. The dream works if we do.

Not a bad thing AT ALL.</span></p><p><br /></p><p>Keep this in mind. </p><p><br /></p><p>xo all</p><p><br /></p><p>I just realized I missed multiple things I alluded to in my heading. This is my brain right now :) The road less traveled because Chiron in Aries/North Node in Aries is about taking care of ourselves and being ourselves. This CHANGE can take us away from groups, causes, etc, and toward something that we are valuing NOW. Or maybe this is just the point we turn away from the group/friends, etc, to free us up to turn our attention to something else <i>later</i>. The Year of the Dragon (<i>wood dragon</i>) that kicks off almost immediately is about being brave and taking action and having confidence. The year you were born determines how you work best with this energy. I am not an expert on this, so find one if you are interested. I do know I was born in a water year and since water feeds wood, this year can be depleting to me since the world is now made of wood and I am feeding it - <i>not all by myself, I hope</i><i> </i>:) If you know your natal element, its relationship to wood is something to think about. The king's surprise (<i>Sun/Uranus</i>) reference will need its own post, King Charles' surprising health announcement that I would guess with Mercury/Pluto together at that time was not something he was planning on announcing just yet. King Charles' big life events always correlate to Eclipses - born on an Eclipse, married twice on Eclipses, Diana died on an Eclipse, he became King on an Eclipse, son William born on an Eclipse and also daughter-in-law Kate. All fated. Notice his mother was not born on an eclipse - not born to be queen, and neither is son Harry. Also note none of William and Kate's children were born on Eclipses - so that is all still in play/up in the air, too. But William and Kate are shoe-ins. The timing of their ascension will undoubtedly be Eclipse related. This New Moon is exact on Kate's Part-of-Fortune in her 7th house of partners. The New Moon is also exact on Biden's progressed 12th house dissolving and exhausted Sun ....</p><p><br /></p><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666;

We are thinking about the future and with Pluto here, our thoughts will be more INTENSE, maybe dark. With Mercury in the sign ruled by his/her higher octave energy "Uranus", sometimes we find ourselves in situations that involve something like 'imposter syndrome' where we don't feel ready/have to fake it 'til we make it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Last year when Pluto popped into Aquarius for our preview, the collective conversation was all about how AI (<i>certainly an Aqua ruled subject</i>), and by AI, I mean both artificial intelligence and alien intelligence - was 'going to kill us' (<i>Pluto</i>), both literally and figuratively (<i>kill jobs, etc</i>). This year we have big tech executives, from Facebook to TikTok, appearing at a televised senate hearing to defend social media's impact/risks imposed on young people. Family members of teens who suffered or died as a result of social media are making their voices heard and hopefully having an impact. </p><p><br /></p><p>Aquarius is fixed air and thinks it 'knows everything', so don't expect people to be flexible. "I'm not arguing. I'm just explaining why I'm right", said the Mercury in Aquarius person I am married to just the other day. I am a Mercury in Capricorn with Saturn/Sun in Aquarius, so you can imagine how this went over :) Mercury will be in Aquarius until February 23rd. It's time to smarten up. </p><p><br /></p><p>MONDAY is also the day Venus is squaring Chiron while the Sun is sextiling. So there are opportunities for HEALING here, that might be pushed by relationship or financial <i>tension.</i> The sextile - opportunity - comes through Aquarius, so this means trying something new, maybe something a bit more intellectual and <i>detached, </i>maybe there is power in numbers/groups. The wound is Aries, so collectively, this is about our masculine energy - how we take action, how we take care of ourselves and stand up for ourselves, our actual physical bodies. </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>The opportunity will come by showing up/putting ourselves out there (<i>the Sun</i>) in ways that are not always comfortable (<i>Chiron</i>)</b>. Our wounds/vulnerabilities are what is making us shiny here. There is an opportunity to connect with others through our shared humanity. Aquarius is detached, so this isn't about sentimentality or overly-emotional reactions. Maybe embracing our inner pioneer/geek gives us confidence. Our quirks are attractive. </span></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>TUESDAY</b> - Pallas enters Sagittarius, Venus squares North Node, Jupiter sextiles Chiron (<i>almost</i>), Sun sextile North Node</p><p><br /></p><p>Pallas enters Sagittarius just in time, bringing us some much needed <i>fire</i>. New, more optimistic strategies can be employed. Factoring in the bigger picture makes us wiser and more effective. Venus in Capricorn moves into a tense square with the North and South Nodes as the Sun sextiles the North and trines the South. This is likely a <b>career, relationship or financial pivot point or choice</b> brought to us through some kind of <i>problem </i>or what isn't working. The Sun is trining the South Node, so doing nothing/letting something slide, following the path of least resistance may be the most comfortable option BUT doing something new/being more assertive, taking some kind of action - the sextile - is where we get the creative OPPORTUNITY. The new action doesn't have to be uncomfortable, but it may require some initiative or courage. </p><p><br /></p><p><b>WEDNESDAY</b> - Ceres enters Capricorn, Venus trine Uranus, Mars sextile Uranus</p><p><br /></p><p>I was thinking when Venus gets into Aquarius on February 16th we will have no planets in Capricorn for the first time since 2008, but then I realized Ceres enters Capricorn on February 7th. Ceres will station retrograde in Cappy (<i>May 15th at 21 degrees - of course - remember she was part of the Saturn/Pluto in 2020 here</i>), so will be here until December when other planets start entering Capricorn during our 'regular' Capricorn season. Interesting, right? Mama bear charged with holding everything together until the troops arrive. With Ceres in Capricorn, nurturing is <i>not</i> unconditional. Boundaries are applied. Rules. This is the serious mama bear - the winter bear - who tells her cubs what to do because otherwise they will wander off and die. Change of life situations and situations outside our control will be taken seriously, too. Ceres is also known for working out a complicated compromise and in the sign (<i>Capricorn</i>) of authority and government, can hopefully be helpful here. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is also the day Venus trines Uranus - smooth changes with love and money that are future leaning, new money and new ways to make money - and Mars sextiles Uranus - new actions create opportunities. With both Venus and Mars still in Capricorn this will be about career/goals and reputation for many people. With Uranus in Taurus, this will be good/stabilizing for our bottom line and self esteem. </p><p><br /></p><p><b>THURSDAY</b> - Vesta stations direct, <b>Sun squares Uranus</b></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">HERE'S THE MONKEY WRENCH IF THERE IS GOING TO BE ONE. We could also be the one making a sudden decision.</span> </p><p><br /></p><p>Things are plugging along and we are moving toward tomorrow's New Moon in, you guessed it, AQUARIUS. </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">When, SUDDENLY - and Uranus is still walking old degrees he has retrograded over, so this won't be something we couldn't have seen coming - SURPRISE. Something changes. We were going over here and now we are going over there. CHANGE. I would say expect the unexpected, except I hate that expression, although it is true here, so let's just go ahead and say it anyway EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED. Mercury squares Uranus on the 16th, so <i>that</i> will likely connect to <i>this.</i> </span></p><p><br /></p><p>This is also the day Vesta stations direct at 21 degrees Gemini. </p><p><br /></p><p>This one snuck up on me and Gemini being all about choices and change may be connecting some Sun/Uranus DOTS. Venus stationed retrograde at 21 Gemini in May 2020 and Mars retrograded here from the end of 2022 through spring 2023, so this Gemini story could have a much LONGER arc. With Vesta - our sacred focus/fire that must stay lit - in Gemini since last June, we might have found a good deal of our focus on our Gemini house theme (<i>for Virgo rising, this will be career for example</i>), facts/information, commerce, transportation, tech systems, dualistic situations, siblings, teaching, children's education, our local community. With her station now, something we have been back and forth over will get its final pass/share of our attention until she exits Gemini for Cancer on March 31st. </p><p><br /></p><p><b>FRIDAY </b>- NEW MOON AT 20 DEGREES AQUARIUS - another 20 degree New Moon, this one our annual New Moon in eccentric Aquarius. </p><p><br /></p><p>And, yes, this is happening in a square to Uranus, so that UNEXPECTED THING WE WERE #EXPECTING #NOTEXPECTING is pulled into this New Moon cycle. </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, Uranus is the co-ruler and modern ruler of Aquarius, so that certainly helps. Maybe alot. Expect a BIG post. </p><p><br /></p><p><b>SATURDAY</b> - Mercury squares Jupiter. As all the planets begin to move through Aquarius, they will move through squares with Jupiter in Taurus. Mercury/Jupiter in Aquarius/Taurus looks like a BIG conversation, news or announcement. This is a square, so even if the news is good it will produce tension. Watch for exaggeration and if you are the one speaking, choose exacting language. </p><p><br /></p><p>xo all - back with that New Moon post next. </p><p><br /></p><p>We will talk about the rest of February over the next few weeks:</p><p><br /></p><p>FEBRUARY 13th - Mars enters Aquarius and meets Pluto, Venus sextiles Neptune</p><p>FEBRUARY 14th - <b>Mars meets Pluto</b></p><p>FEBRUARY 15th - Mercury sextiles Chiron, Mercury sextiles North Node</p><p>FEBRUARY 16th - <b>Mercury squares Uranus</b>, Venus enters Aquarius, 1st Quarter Moon</p><p>FEBRUARY 17th - <b>Venus meets Pluto</b></p><p>FEBRUARY 18th - Sun enters Pisces</p><p>FEBRUARY 19th - <b>North Node conjuncts Chiron</b></p><p>FEBRUARY 22nd - Venus conjuncts Mars </p><p>FEBRUARY 23rd - Mercury enters Pisces</p><p>FEBRUARY 24th - <b>Full Moon in Virgo</b>, Venus squares Jupiter</p><p>FEBRUARY 27th - Mars squares Jupiter</p><p>FEBRUARY 28th - <b>Sun conjuncts Mercury, Mercury conjuncts Saturn, Sun conjuncts Saturn</b></p><p>FEBRUARY 29th - Venus sextiles North Node, Sun sextiles Jupiter</p><p><br /><br /></p></div>Catherine Ivinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01642469475264570967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3644717516426101893.post-28097077970518110842024-01-31T12:00:00.011-05:002024-02-01T08:15:27.105-05:00today's astrology forecast | thursday, February 1st, 2024 - long void moon, pluto problems<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAWZOLn3afOlIM0jtt8E6fpOllaRGajM-ErxqUzqNG2kE8J5OoLZyY3q2nyJ_ITR_zHwU28qfqDV7smbtrrrw5BA3rr7fmXBz6YQDRTWeKL6GZgghxZk8vrg7z8fWFIXV47_4AV4vTGnQvyHtwDBarnfGiQpK29iJkf2u8iqv14DNjJcpFMCkMhRrgB21m/s1030/nicolas.1087_Delve_into_uncertainties_and_instances_of_fragilit_01a3ee20-43f0-4718-9d04-2233def06120%20copy.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="1029" data-original-width="1030" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAWZOLn3afOlIM0jtt8E6fpOllaRGajM-ErxqUzqNG2kE8J5OoLZyY3q2nyJ_ITR_zHwU28qfqDV7smbtrrrw5BA3rr7fmXBz6YQDRTWeKL6GZgghxZk8vrg7z8fWFIXV47_4AV4vTGnQvyHtwDBarnfGiQpK29iJkf2u8iqv14DNjJcpFMCkMhRrgB21m/s600/nicolas.1087_Delve_into_uncertainties_and_instances_of_fragilit_01a3ee20-43f0-4718-9d04-2233def06120%20copy.jpg" width="600" /></a></div>
<span><a name='more'></a></span><p><br /></p><p>Early Thursday EST (<i>4:03AM</i>) , the Libra Moon goes void off a square to Mercury - have we gone to bed mad or agitated? </p><p><br /></p><p>Luna trined the smart Aquarius Sun on Wednesday - give partners SPACE, detach from taking things too personally - but, then she squared a stone-cold Mars in Capricorn on Wednesday night. </p><p><br /></p><p>Libra wants peace and cooperation and that Mars is ... <i>ambitious. </i></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>There could be relationship tension/frustration</b>. </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">Keep in mind we have that trine from Mars and Mercury to a retrograde Juno. <i>Relationship fixes.</i> What can make things better? What can we agree on? What action can we take together? Mars and Mercury are in sober Cappy and Juno is in earthy Virgo, so this needs to be practical/doable. We need to talk about it respectfully. And then we actually have to do it.</span> </p><p><br /></p><p>The Moon is void on Thursday until late afternoon - so much of the day will ebb and flow/time will be stretchy, it's good energy for doing routine things - and then Luna will square Pluto as soon as she gets into Scorpio (<i>Pluto's sign</i>). </p><p><br /></p><p>Remember with Pluto in early Aqua now, each time the Moon moves from a cardinal sign (<i>the start</i>) to a fixed sign (<i>the stuff that holds what is starting together</i>) she will be in a tense aspect with Pluto. So, maybe we start and then we get this OBSTACLE. </p><p><br /></p><p>(<i>but, we won't have all those Moons with the Pluto power-struggle endings - there are always trade-offs!</i>)</p><p><br /></p><p>The Moon will be up and down, and maybe moody as f* in Scorpio over the next couple days, but for today, there is just this SQUARE. </p><p><br /></p><p>This OBSTACLE.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Moon rules our emotions/our mood. So, now the mood is heavier. It always darkens/deepens as we move from Libra to Scorpio, but with Pluto in that fast square for the next couple years (!), it may be even more obvious. </p><p><br /></p><p>Because, again there is this OBSTACLE. </p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe the root of Plutonian problems look more complicated than they actually are. It's always about the stuff we have stuffed (<i>and we have reasons for this stuffing, but still, this is stuff we have stuffed</i>). It's harder to look inward than outward, so we project this shadow self outside ourselves and magnetize what we need so we can see it/feel it. </p><p><br /></p><p>And, the world is set up more and more for us to look outward. For there to be things to look at. And, of course, even our head is designed to look <i>outward</i>. Looking inward is painful/difficult. With Scorpio/Pluto (<i>which opposes Taurus</i>) we are quite literally pulling ourselves out of the dirt/finding the seed of our plant. Turning our head around. </p><p><br /></p><p>The bottom line with Pluto is always <i>fear</i>. Fear of death. Fear of loss. Power struggles. The need to control, so we won't lose what we have; so we don't die. Helping can feel an awful lot like manipulation when Plutonian energy puts its hands into the pot. Intensity. Obsession. Pluto is in Aquarius now, so we will have to see how the sign of intelligent, detached air changes things. And how Pluto changes the sign of intelligent, detached air. Pluto is slow and relentless. Aquarius is quick and disorienting and alternates (<i>this isn't exactly right but nothing else is coming to mind</i>) between order - Saturn - and chaos - Uranus. </p><p><br /></p><p>For now, there are practical revisions within relationships, partnerships and contracts that will help make our lives better <i>and</i> they will be subject to change. JUNO SAYS SO! </p><p><br /></p><p>And there is stuff happening that is hidden that we can't see without almost breaking our neck. PLUTO SAYS SO! </p><p><br /></p><p>So, we have this long void on Thursday to chill ourselves out/cool things off and then the Moon/mood deepens/darkens - February starts at 4:22PM EST on February 1st with the Scorpio Moon's square to ruler Pluto. </p><p><br /></p><p>And February is HUGE.</p><p><br /></p><p>(<i>how stretchy is that neck of ours? when I was about 25 a chiropractor told me I had the neck of an 80 year old woman, so I might be in trouble over here</i>)</p><p><br /></p><p>February post next!</p><p><br /></p><p>xo all</p>Catherine Ivinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01642469475264570967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3644717516426101893.post-45895833748128224982024-01-28T15:01:00.005-05:002024-01-29T12:45:32.028-05:00weekly astrology forecast | January 29th to February 4th, 2024 - the future is being set up by the actions we take now, smooth communications with partners, contracts get signed and commitments made, plus opportunities to drift and dream<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYAwNCeH_OodQaUr-Z6CfKUDoflCpZ_JGe35wLXv_QS_yHcLoKrWjQbRNjFeQSZZKeGFUCOhb8d7wElQL_RR62HeDiIOBxD8-bfbiJqZXMCUhDpRibeeJ-c-TIDQ9Ktb3AbOFDomgkkZek3_UR3ieE4Oqfg-zp3I_rTiixt-6QP7NLJl1bgoLScs_s0Q_T/s622/cativins_the_solar_system_minimal_conceptual_vibrant_colors_cbed3ab4-26f4-4523-8b1c-d561c475a4a6.webp" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="622" data-original-width="622" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYAwNCeH_OodQaUr-Z6CfKUDoflCpZ_JGe35wLXv_QS_yHcLoKrWjQbRNjFeQSZZKeGFUCOhb8d7wElQL_RR62HeDiIOBxD8-bfbiJqZXMCUhDpRibeeJ-c-TIDQ9Ktb3AbOFDomgkkZek3_UR3ieE4Oqfg-zp3I_rTiixt-6QP7NLJl1bgoLScs_s0Q_T/s600/cativins_the_solar_system_minimal_conceptual_vibrant_colors_cbed3ab4-26f4-4523-8b1c-d561c475a4a6.webp" width="600" /></a></div>

In other ways, THINGS ARE BEING SET UP. Falling into place. </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">Pluto has moved into Aquarius and Aquarius ruler (<i>co-ruler!</i>) Uranus has stationed direct and Mars is forming a very smooth energetic loop with Uranus - we can see, something NEW is being SET UP. Our ACTIONS - and Mars is in Capricorn, so these are practical, serious actions - are tentacles that are reaching into the future and pulling the energy, people, situations, etc, we need to get THERE back to us HERE. </span></p><p><br /></p><p>Mars will meet up with Pluto on Valentine's Day (!) which is going to be the trigger for a BIG splash of what Pluto in Aquarius is bringing, showing us - HERE IS WHAT IS POSSIBLE. </p><p><br /></p><p>Then on July 6th - and maybe we can remember this better, at least if we are in the United States, if we think to ourselves the 4th of July and Mars stuff usually hits early anyway - Mars will get to 19 degrees Taurus and although Uranus will have moved on, that degree will be LIT from Uranus 's station and long squat (<i>plus remember we have all the trines from Cappy to this degree last week and now</i>) and Mars will LIGHT A MATCH with what is happening NOW. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, by that time, the time of hotdogs and barbecues and parades, the planet Saturn - the other co-ruler of Aquarius - the one that keeps Aquarius from running off into a ditch, will have reached 19 degrees Pisces and be sextiling Mars. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is all working IF WE ARE (Saturn!). </p><p><br /></p><p>Uranus himself will be at 25 degrees Taurus by then and Uranus hasn't been to 25 degrees Taurus since 1941. Mercury will be exact on the degree of last week's Leo Full Moon. The U.S. and Israel's charts are in the soup, but that is a subject for another day.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can someone keep track of all this? I don't think I can. My brain might be too swiss-cheesy now. It might actually explode if I keep looking. </p><p><br /></p><p>(<i>also there is a bunch of other 19-20 degree activations coming, including multiple 20 degree New Moons, and, of course a big Eclipse in April</i>)</p><p><br /></p><p>Let's unpack the week!</p><p><br /></p><p>On <b>MONDAY</b> - now Mars - the way we take action and go after what we want - reaches <i>his</i> exact trine (<i>brakes off</i>) with lightning fast, lightning-in-a-bottle Uranus.

Maybe someone wants too much attention, too much appreciation, too much SOMETHING, maybe that someone is us. With Pluto here there can be jealousy over someone <i>else</i> GETTING too much attention/appreciation, too.

We are sort of RE-LIVING something that has already happened and we might realize we are doing this, but maybe we don't, so our feelings are usually more INTENSE than the situation calls for. This is what I mean when I talk about "triggered". Think about road rage. Let's say someone has just 'cut us off' in traffic and we feel ourselves get very angry very quickly and we tell ourselves it is because "this idiot almost killed us" when really he is triggering every other time someone has 'gotten ahead of us' or we have 'fallen behind'. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif;"><div style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px;">Five degrees Taurus - a hot degree that EXACTLY squares this Moon - is LIT with the energy of the <a href="https://olivebites.blogspot.com/2023/10/full-moon-lunar-eclipse-in-taurus.html" target="_blank">October 28th Eclipse</a> and Jupiter's station direct on December 30th. The heart of <i>that </i>Full Moon, like <i>this</i> one, wasn't really in the howling. That one was about walking our talk and dealing with the information we probably didn't want to look it (<i>Mercury and Mars breathing down each other's necks in Scorpio THEN</i>). Then Jupiter backed up to that degree (<i>5 Taurus</i>) and turned around at the end of December. The energy where our arguably most benefic planet 'popped a squat' matters, too.

This matters and it matters that about a week ago, Jupiter started to <i>move on</i>.

The squares to Chiron could indicate repressed words or actions. We could be too forceful/too cold or maybe too hesitant. Our words may sound clumsy to our ears, but remember Mercury has been back and forth for weeks, we have almost certainly earned the right to be heard. Painful conversations may be necessary.

Vision. Destiny. It's a space where change is demanded of us. A space where we can't really pretend we are 'normal'. It will speak of a past life/ancestral TRAUMA - you will also see something about this repeated in some way in your childhood. Maybe in that past life we had the 'change/chaos/loss' and died, so in this life we get the 'change' and learn we can <i>keep going. </i>There is a price to be paid for this little vial of 'fire' we carry. We may not be chained to a rock like Prometheus having our liver pecked out every night by an eagle (<i>although Uranian/Aquarius people should take extra care with their livers</i>), but freedom isn't free. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;">I don't think it's a coincidence that we have these squares to Chiron (<i>who replaced Prometheus on that rock</i>) at the same time.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;">With Pluto in Aquarius now and answering to Uranus (<i>and Saturn</i>), everything Uranus does will have a greater significance.

His/her trine to Uranus speaks of solutions, forward leaning words and conversations. New ideas. The nodal square tells us that change is needed/might come with our back against the wall. Squares bring tension and frustration, but truly without them not much would change! That North Node in Aries speaks of the need to be brave, first, more self-sufficient, more assertive - maybe with that conjunction with Mars - even get <i>pissed off. </i>Obviously we could take this too far, but bending over backward for someone else isn't going to work. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;">Mercury is the hub of EVERYTHING here.

The follow-up now, was going to be three posts, but I decided to squeeze it all into one post and just break it up a bit. I hope something here is helpful. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, here we are folks. </p><p><br /></p><p>Together for the BIG moment when Pluto and the Sun join hands at 29 degrees and 59 seconds of Capricorn, the end of the end of Saturn's reality - can anything illustrate the end of the 'patriarchy/the end of the king', our coming face-to-face with our fall from grace, any more clearly? </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">(<i>if we think we are going to structure our life/build a career/run our business in the same old way, we had better THINK AGAIN - traditional authority will never be as strong, collectively we will NEVER be as attached to our career ever again, and never as de-tached from our roots</i>)</span></p><p><br /></p><p>AND, here we are together, you and I and all of us who have ever lived, as the Sun and Pluto jump into Aquarius TOGETHER - yes, the Sun gets a little head start to light Pluto's way - for this New Age of Aquarius defining moment. </p><p><br /></p><p><b>How seriously will Pluto transform via both destruction and empowerment Aquarian social structures, technology and science?</b> </p><p><br /></p><p>How seriously, deadly-serious-I'd-say, will Plutonian power impact society? Are we looking at dystopia/utopia? Pluto isn't a 'middle-ground' kind of guy. And Aquarian cannot be <i>known.</i></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">I have a Sun/Saturn/Pholus in Aquarius at 15-14 degrees, but my natal Mercury in Capricorn (</span><i style="text-align: left;">21 degrees, so barely hanging in there since 2020</i><span style="text-align: left;">) is more attuned to seeing dragons than fairy godmothers and maybe is not the one we should be asking.

But thousands of years under the umbrella of 'patriarchy', which is NOT about old white men by the way, has left us susceptible to not knowing what REALLY supports and nourishes us. </p><p><br /></p><p>There is something about this Sun-blinding Cappy-close-out (<i>who says Pluto doesn't have style?</i>) that is screaming at us to LOOK DEEPER. </p><p><br /></p><p>Aquarius will ask us to put aside our old familiar ways of thinking and relating and doing things and using/building/holding onto structure. And since the transit of URANUS INTO GEMINI IS COMING/breathing down our necks and Uranus is the modern ruler of Aquarius and Uranus will be the last chess player to move onto the board before the new game begins AND will trine Pluto in Aquarius, while co-ruling him, FIVE times between 2026 and 2028 - </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>it will be important to</b> <b>ask questions in ways that we can be surprised by the answers.</b></span></p><p><br /></p><p>A person during the American, French or Industrial Revolutions, living on planet Earth the last time Pluto entered Aquarius, could have had no idea of what was ahead for them and we don't either. </p><p><br /></p><p>And that's OK. </p><p><br /></p><p>The answers won't be as important as the questions anyway. </p><p><br /></p><p>(this is kind of the way AI works now with prompts - think about it)</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">*****</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p>So, what DO we know? </p><p><br /></p><p>Pluto popped into Aquarius last year to give us a little preview.</p><p><br /></p><p>This was the third week of March 2023, very near the New Moon in Aries start to the lunar year/the Spring Equinox. This was the FIRST New Moon in Aries - we had two last year. The second one was an Eclipse with Pluto in Aquarius. The first one had Pluto in Capricorn and was at 0 degrees where we were starting something from the very beginning. </p><p><br /></p><p>We had Ceres, whom the Moon had just opposed, turn around and station retrograde in Virgo (<i>this year we have Juno retrograde in Virgo</i>) and Mars, ruler of that Moon, had just started covering new degrees in Gemini after his retrograde (<i>remember that one, everyone was changing their minds?!</i>) and in mutual reception with Mercury in Aries, so stronger than he looked and he was on Polaris, that star we have all been wishing upon since childhood and who wouldn't think that could make us lucky? </p><p><br /></p><p>Venus was on the North Node (<i>she also ruled it back then</i>) - saying here was our path forward with money, our resources, our values, maybe our relationships, and the Sun was sextiling Pluto as he left Capricorn. It looked good. </p><p><br /></p><p>But, the caveat with <i>that </i>New Moon that launched Pluto into the brave new world of Aquarian individuality that I wrote back then was this:</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; text-align: justify;">"The price of admission, yes, </span><b style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">there is a cover charge to open this new </b><b style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">door</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; text-align: justify;">, is the ending of an imbalanced nurturing situation or relationship that needs to culminate or be scaled back to allow this New Moon energy the fertile ground it needs to flourish (</span><i style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: 1.625; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Ceres back into Virgo will help us fix it or forget it</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; text-align: justify;">)."</span></span></p><p><br /></p><p>I could have added - "season of life situation that need/demand to be allowed to end or EVOLVE". </p><p><br /></p><p>Then we had that SECOND New Moon in Aries. The second one was a Solar Eclipse. I wrote about it <a href="https://olivebites.blogspot.com/2023/04/the-astrology-of-solar-eclipse-new-moon.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>. The Solar Eclipse New Moon, a month after the first New Moon, and on April 20th, 2023 with the Sun very near where it will be on April 22, 2024 when Jupiter meets Uranus (!) - was very DIFFERENT. </p><p><br /></p><p>This time, the Moon, at the very end of Aries, immediately met up with Vesta - something was or was about to be keeping us up at night and - <i>squared</i> Pluto in Aquarius, so we knew to expect challenges right out of the gate.</p><p><br /></p><p>The caveat with this second one that I was writing about back then was:<br /><br /></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">"So, maybe with this second chance New Moon, we can see how we have gone off the rails with the first one in some very real way.

She has fallen from ruling the North Node to ruling the South. Mars is strong in Capricorn and risen from rulership of the South Node to the North Node. Mercury is trining Jupiter. This time, as Pluto enters Aquarius instead of sextiling the Sun like he did last year - the creative opportunity that required effort - he is CONJUNCT THE SUN. They are <i>merged. </i>The conjunction NOW is way more powerful than the sextile was LAST YEAR. More eye-opening. Also more challenging.</div><div><br /></div><div>Since we know Pluto is going to back out of Aquarius one more time in the fall, let's take a look at that before we go any further. </div><div><br /></div><div>It's not a coincidence Pluto pops back into Capricorn for the U.S. Presidential Election next fall and the presidential inauguration from that election is EXACTLY one year to the day from the Sun/Pluto now, so the Sun at 0 degrees Aquarius will be imprinted with whatever is happening now - which we might not see until Mars, the trigger in our 3D reality, gets here around Valentine's Day.</div><div><br /></div><div>(<i>I know this is confusing. It is complicated and we have an exact Neptune square today!</i>)</div><div><br /></div><div>Pluto will re-enter Capricorn (<i>retrograde</i>), for the final time in our lifetimes, on September 1, 2024.</div><div><br /></div><div>This is the same day Uranus, the modern ruler of Aquarius, stations retrograde - so <i>absolutely</i>, here is a sign that the future/the change is POSTPONED. Venus will oppose Neptune then - remember we are having the square now - then move home to Libra just in time to trine Pluto as he exits Aquarius. Mercury will be at the powerful/kingly 22 degrees of Leo and trining Chiron in Aries (<i>remember he is trining Jupiter now</i>). Mars will be at the final degree of Gemini and squaring Neptune at the final degree of Pisces. YES, another exact confusing/dissolving Neptune square? Will we ever know what is really going on? Maybe not. </div><div><br /></div><div>When Pluto gets back in Aquarius in the third week of November 2024, the U.S. election will be over (<i>the election itself on November 5th starts with the Moon void, having gone void off a square with Neptune!</i>). </div><div><br /></div><div>Pluto re-enters Aquarius, this will be for the third and FINAL time, the Sun then moves into Sagittarius and sextiles him and then Venus - who remember doesn't have a retrograde this year, so will get to 0 degrees Aquarius twice - will meet up with Pluto AGAIN (<i>this is a few weeks after his re-entry, but his next major aspect after that sextile other than the Moon's</i>). Finally Pluto closes out the year 2024 at 1 degrees Aquarius with a sextile to the North Node at 1 degree Aries. Whew! </div><div><br /></div><div>Things are going to look pretty different for all of us by this time. </div><div><br /></div><div>And keep in mind the U.S. President is always sworn in with the Sun at 0 degrees Aquarius, but this time it will be WITH PLUTO (<i>Pluto at 1 degree Aquarius</i>) - January 20, 2024. For the first time ever in U.S. history! </div><div><br /></div><div>And it will be energized/energetically marked by THIS January 20, 2023 when the Sun/Pluto move into Aquarius together. Also on Inauguration Day, Mars will be EXACT on the U.S. natal Mercury. Jupiter will be on the U.S. descendant and conjunct the U.S. Uranus, transiting Chiron will be on the U.S. Chiron. Venus will be exactly conjunct Saturn and the Moon in Libra (<i>answering to Venus</i>) will cross over the U.S. natal 10h house Saturn during the ceremony. WTH! The North Node (<i>in Pisces next year</i>) will be conjunct Neptune - oh my - and the United States IC (<i>root of the chart</i>). Transiting Uranus will be exact on the U.S. natal Atlantis - do we need to know this? I hope not with the way that turned out :) I will stop looking now!</div><div><br /></div><div>It's enough to say the next President's presidency will be important. </div><div><br /></div><div>And there is a reason Pluto returns to Cappy (<i>the sign of government, structure, patriarchal conditioning</i>) for the election and then moves into Aquarius (<i>the future/change</i>) FOR GOOD before the inauguration. </div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway, I wanted to look at Pluto's move into Aquarius through multiple lenses. This is complicated and confusing. There is a reason we got the sneak peek last year - time to change course? - the longer stay this year and that final retro back into Cappy to finish up the Cappy demolition (<i>something about the way the U.S. does elections will certainly be changing before the 2028 election along with many other things</i>) before Pluto hightails it back into Aquarius to polish off 2024 with arguably <b>the most powerful planet in the sign of the future. </b></div><div><br /></div><div>I am sorry to be so U.S. specific here and this will read as astro-gobbledy goop to many. Still it could be helpful for us to have it laid out like this.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Now, let's turn back to this weekend as the Sun meets Pluto at 29 degrees Capricorn, the Sun then enters Aquarius - like he does every year at this time - but this year is followed by Pluto - which has never happened in our lifetimes. Maybe it's never happened ever. Then they are both at 0 degrees Aquarius together, although by second they never quite meet up the way they do at 29 Cappy. It is still a whole new dawn. 0 degrees was mega-activated back on the Winter Solstice in December 2020 when Jupiter met Saturn here, launching a new cycle in mature, detached, intellectual - the home of the "collective individual" Aquarius. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Personally I will miss Pluto in Cappy (<i>since 2008</i>) in my 3rd house, although it has challenged me greatly. Mostly I had a blast with it. Built businesses that I loved, had many amazing like-minded people move in and out of my life over the years (<i>mostly virtually - my natal Pluto with Uranus in my 10th</i>), looked deeply into my own patriarchal and matriarchal stories and conditioning, thought about death way too much, but also became absorbed in astrology, had a near-death experience that changed my life, TRANSFORMED MY MIND. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">*****</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Let's get personal and look at how this new transit will impact each of us. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">We ran through this transit by rising sign <a href="https://olivebites.blogspot.com/2023/03/pluto-into-aquarius-for-next-20-years.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Your natal chart is your road map. <span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">It looks like a
diagram/blueprint because it is. </span><span style="color: #222222;">It is a picture of our
Milky Way Galaxy (</span><i style="color: #222222;">our known piece of it</i><span style="color: #222222;">) when you drew your first
breath. You, quite literally, and in many ways for your entire life, ARE the
universe at that moment.</span></span></div>

intimately, your mother and father's lives until that point. They pass you
something like a baton, but you <i>are</i> the baton. And y</span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: x-large;">ou are also, if you
connect with the ideas of past lives, the karma (</span><i style="color: #222222; font-size: x-large;">cause and effect</i><span style="color: #222222; font-size: x-large;">) of
every life you have ever lived. If you do not resonate with the idea of past
lives, you could think of your chart as being the karma (</span><i style="color: #222222; font-size: x-large;">cause and effect/energy
imbalances</i><span style="color: #222222; font-size: x-large;">) of all the lives all your ancestor’s have ever lived!</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: transparent;">Your chart shows your natal PROMISE. Nothing is going to happen to you that isn't shown somewhere in your blueprint/that isn't PROMISED as a </span><i style="background-color: transparent;">potential.</i><span style="background-color: transparent;"> </span></span></p><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: large;">You are born and then, pretty much immediately, the planets move on. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: x-large;">They start interacting with the positions they were in when you were born as if those planets/points were still there, because they are - in you. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: x-large;">These are called transits. </span></div><div><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: large;">As Pluto moves from one sign to another, from Capricorn to Aquarius, he starts TRANSITING a different house in your chart. That chart will resonate with a different theme and hold different planets (<i>"hold" meaning carry their positions in your natal chart, the places they were when you were born that are vibrating through you</i>). </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">When you examine any transit you first have to think about the nature of the transiting planet. In this case, the planet is Pluto. Pluto is the modern ruler of Scorpio and the God of the Underworld. He changes us through life and death type of experiences. Intensity. Transformation. Think of the caterpillar turning into a butterfly - the whole transit is very Plutonian/Scorpian, but probably especially that part in the middle, that part in the chrysalis that we don't want to think about. The caterpillar wouldn't go through this metamorphosis if he had a choice in the matter ... <i>so, he doesn't. </i></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Pluto will break down, clear the ground and force us to gain new perspective in the affairs of the house he is transiting. </b></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Some things to think about with all outer planet transits:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">1. The transit will always carry the flavor of the NATAL HOUSE PLACEMENT of the transiting planet. For example, when I was born, Pluto was in my 10th house. So, even though his change of signs from Cappy to Aquarius involves my 3rd and 4th houses - EVERY Pluto transit - will involve my career, goals, status, reputation (<i>10th house themes</i>). </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">2. Every transit will carry the flavor of the house the transiting planet RULES. For example, I am a Scorpio rising, so Pluto rules my 1st house of myself. So even though his change of signs from Cappy to Aquarius involves my 3rd and 4th houses - EVERY Pluto transit - will involve my physical self, the way I am seen/present myself, my body, my brand. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">3. Every transit will carry the flavor of the house the transiting planet is in. In this case, for me, Pluto is leaving my 3rd house and entering my 4th house of home, family, mother, motherhood, roots, security. <b>This is the transit info I wrote about last year and linked to ABOVE.</b></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span>IF there are natal planets/points the transiting planet is interacting with - the outcome of the transit will most often depend on that natal planet's <i>natal</i> aspects. In other words if the natal planet is well aspected the outcome of the transit will be BETTER - gains will be greater and losses will be less than if the natal planet is poorly aspected. </span>For example, if the planet getting transited by Pluto has trines and sextiles - within the natal chart - this planet will generally have better outcomes than a planet with squares and oppositions, EVEN if the Pluto transit is forming a square or opposition. IF the natal planet is well placed the outcome can be <i>even more positive. </i>For example, if you have a transit to your Leo Sun or your Sun in the 5th house, both of which are strong solar placements, your outcome will be more positive. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Transits from the outer planets to your natal planets/points are considered major transits because the outer planets move slowly and these transits TAKE A LONG TIME. They have a fated quality to them and work on a subconscious level as well as through real-world events. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">For a major transit of Pluto - this means he is interacting with a planet/point in your natal chart through an aspect (<i>this doesn't mean he is just changing signs</i>) such as a square, sextile, trine or opposition, you would use a very tight orb to determine dates, probably when Pluto is 1-2 degrees from your natal planet is when you will really be in the thick of the transit. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">So, right now, for this transit, if you are a Scorpio rising with Pluto ruling your chart or have a very Plutonian chart or maybe a strong Aquarian chart - 29 degrees of the cardinal signs and 0-1 degrees of the fixed signs will be most strongly impacted. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">If you have planets or points in these degrees - near 29 Aries, Cancer, Capricorn and Libra OR planets/points in 0-1 degrees of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius - you are likely to be dealing with Pluto out of Capricorn and into Aquarius in bigger ways than other people. You will almost certainly have this confirmed in your chart in other ways, too. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>But everyone will feel this SHIFT OF AGES.</b></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Collectively some ways to work with this transit as it starts are -</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">1. Become more self-sufficient/pare things down - with Pluto in Aquarius, the collective (<i>which is ruled by Aquarius</i>) will be 'transformed', mostly through what is lost, and you will want to have ways to stabilize yourself as much as possible</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">2. Maybe cut back a bit on group commitments if you are wavering on them. Pluto/Scorpio is a commit or quit energy and Aquarius rules groups, causes and friendships. We are going to have to focus on what we are truly passionate about and we will find new things that stir our passions during this transit. </span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">3. Pluto is the planet of elimination, so it is always a good idea to eliminate what you do not need when he is active - clean closets, inboxes, etc. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">3. Tech is likely to become way more powerful before its eventual transformation/destruction. This means you HAVE to be proficient. If you are a hands on/old school person who wants to avoid this stuff, you can't. But we also can't become obsessed. Don't add to this power any more than you need to. Stop scrolling, value your time on this precious planet and take it back, commit large chunks of time to things that matter outside of technology.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">I just talked to someone who was once a voracious reader who tells me she now spends the evenings when she was once lost in a book, playing video games while she multi-tasks/watches old movies and tv shows she has seen before. She doesn't watch new movies because she can't finish them. AND I admit I am drawn to short-term things, too. Youtube, etc, This may not be something everyone has to think about, but Pluto in fixed air Aquarius is going to be way more effective, and less dangerous, if we can focus and not scatter ourselves. Once we get used to the 'scatter' it can take something big, and Pluto will be more than happy to oblige us with something BIG, to pull us back to center. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span>4. As with all outer planet changes, hold on loosely and with Pluto </span>5. Expect to feel more intensely about things you were once more detached about. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Keep in mind Pluto has to be <i>somewhere</i> in your chart. There is always a house he is busy dismantling/empowering and as he changes signs - a house he is LEAVING. Whew!</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span>Let's see what we are dealing with and how we are feeling over the next few weeks. </span>This is brand new territory and we are going to have to keep checking in with ourselves. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">We should have felt some motivation recently for <i>something</i> with ALL THIS CAPRICORN. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">But, just keep in mind all the inner planets are going to touch base with Pluto at 0 degrees AQUARIUS, starting with the Sun today and continuing until the middle of February with Mars. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Stay flexible. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">I am looking forward, I think :) to 2026-2028 when all the chess pieces will be in their places and Pluto and Uranus will form FIVE empowering trines. Aquarius/Gemini. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">In the meantime, we will make ourselves useful :) there is a reason Pluto and Uranus last met in Virgo. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">I have a 29 degree Capricorn South Node and last spring, as Pluto sat parked there the first time, I had a past life regression with a hypnotist named Alba Weinman in Florida. A very Capricorn-focused past life came up (<i>plus a couple others</i>) and I was able to find this fellow's chart on astro.com and even his date of death on wikipedia. Maybe I will write about it here sometime. He lived in the 1500's and died just before Pluto entered Aquarius. His natal Pluto and Neptune were exactly the same degrees as mine. His South Node was my Moon. His Sun was my Jupiter. His mid-heaven, 22 degrees Capricorn, conjunct my 21 degree Mercury - the Mercury whose transits have splintered my life more than once. When he died, Mercury was exactly where Venus was when I was born and Venus when he died was exactly where Mercury was when I was born. Our stories are very different as you can imagine, but there are connections with children and childbirth and "one sons/Suns" and "kings" and it has helped me to see the path from <i>there</i> to <i>here</i>. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Maybe lots of people, with Pluto at the end of the end of the world that Saturn built, are making connections now, too. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">xo all - excuse any typos/nonsense</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">I would be happy to look at your chart regarding the new Pluto energy. Leave a comment or shoot me an email. If I have previously looked at your chart I probably still have your birth data. If not, I will let you know. I will need birth time, place and date. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>Catherine Ivinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01642469475264570967noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3644717516426101893.post-575500239801689092024-01-18T11:24:00.003-05:002024-01-18T13:52:51.147-05:00today's astrology forecast | Friday, January 19th, 2024 - big ideas, good news, moving on from the disappointments of 2023<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCBw2EFmvL6zf4KUoWkNHa9hhFuLC3UjPorFz_k6h1jSzOQXuqkuBcIp648GGtGbc0XkvGscGcSfa6SBx_YVMLYBb86rD5bTX3TKe0nKWkrNL667E1GYdun6oGpxVX-VYMJ6NmLQ2kmjAjybRb5VzKcKlBgc_i7uQW-MnNsyc4K7oqUDOYNXaEYSQKop7W/s622/cativins_a_street_line_on_a_busy_road_minimal_conceptual_vibran_56ca2af3-9846-4e5d-aadc-c6f825284df3.webp" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="622" data-original-width="622" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCBw2EFmvL6zf4KUoWkNHa9hhFuLC3UjPorFz_k6h1jSzOQXuqkuBcIp648GGtGbc0XkvGscGcSfa6SBx_YVMLYBb86rD5bTX3TKe0nKWkrNL667E1GYdun6oGpxVX-VYMJ6NmLQ2kmjAjybRb5VzKcKlBgc_i7uQW-MnNsyc4K7oqUDOYNXaEYSQKop7W/s600/cativins_a_street_line_on_a_busy_road_minimal_conceptual_vibran_56ca2af3-9846-4e5d-aadc-c6f825284df3.webp" width="600" /></a></div>
<span><a name='more'></a></span><p><br /></p><p>The Moon. exalted in Taurus still, meets up with a retrograde Uranus today. We are more comfortable with change/the unexpected. Give yourself extra time. Be flexible. Plans are subject to <i>change.</i> We've been here before. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is also the day, in the run up to Pluto's big move this weekend (<i>and you will be feeling this already/this is already in play but not exact</i>) that Mercury trines Jupiter and Venus squares Neptune. </p><p><br /></p><p>Mercury's trine to Jupiter has us THINKING BIG. Words are hopeful/optimistic. Loose lips don't sink ships so much as they carry good news. From Mercury's perch in sober Cappy, this is about GOOD NEWS WE CAN USE. There is room for GROWTH/expansion. If an opportunity comes along - and keep in mind, this is a trine and not yesterday's sextile where we need to effort, although maybe the trine, since it comes after the sextile, is because of our efforting with the sextile - </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">anyhoo, an opportunity that comes along now that seems to FALL IN OUR LAP is a big GREEN LIGHT. </span></p><p><br /></p><p>One thing to keep in mind, and yes, there is always a THING TO KEEP IN MIND, is this is also the day Venus, and Jupiter is answering to her right now, reaches her exact square to dreamy/dissolving Neptune. </p><p><br /></p><p>Venus's square to Neptune is the closing square from their fresh start conjunction last Valentine's Day when something was maybe SWEEPING US OFF OUR FEET. Maybe this has worked out for us or maybe our rose-colored glasses, who had ordered their own rose-colored glasses from Warby Parker and we were wearing both pairs, have been lost in a desk drawer somewhere by this time. Here we are almost a year later with universal energies lined up for us to fish or cut bait. </p><p><br /></p><p>Was this worth our time/effort? Are we <i>disappointed? </i>Squares force action through tension and frustration, although Neptune squares can be more like something just kind of <i>fades away. </i></p><p><br /></p><p>So, we get this great trine that lines up as a BIG IDEA or GOOD NEWS - and this is an Earth trine, so speaks of things we can feel/touch/take to the bank AND, at the same time AND CONNECTED (<i>because Jupiter is answering to Venus and she is being depleted here, but we have to also remember Venus is answering to Jupiter and the mutual reception is almost certainly making the depletion thing less than it would be</i>), we get this square that speaks of possible disappointment or exhaustion. </p><p><br /></p><p>What to do? What to do <i>with this?</i></p><p><br /></p><p>If we are feeling the draining square - tired, disappointed, maybe even sick - and the thing that is supposed to be falling in your lap just looks like a used tissue. We can lean into that exalted Moon in Taurus's meeting with that retrograde Uranus. Take care of ourselves in a <i>new</i> way with something that used to nurture us. We can pay attention to the MESSAGE that is the Mercury/Jupiter because there is surely good news or something bigger/better/real-er in here somewhere, too. </p><p><br /></p><p>PAY ATTENTION. </p><p><br /></p><p>If we get the good news or the big idea and the thing that is falling into our lap is HERE/in our lap, we can't miss it - we can resolve to keep in mind the Venus/Neptune draining/disappointing possibilities and know we need to keep our feet on the ground THIS TIME and grow this thing in ways that are practical, responsible and steady - Cappy/Taurus. </p><p><br /></p><p>If something seems too good to be true then with both Jupiter AND Neptune involved it surely will be. </p><p><br /></p><p>Can we stay practical with this? Keep our feet on the ground even AS we take a chance/make a stretch? Can we see the 'reality' of the big idea/good news - how this would actually work, the practicalities of this thing? </p><p><br /></p><p>Can it be good, is it still worth it, even if it's not <i>great?</i> Earth trines grow slowly, so the payoff may not be so quickly visible. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, keep in mind there are two things, no, three things happening here. 1. Venus is making that third quarter square - the final square - to her fresh start with Neptune from late last winter - that's the fish or cut bait thing. Is this working? Is this disappointing? What needs to change? NOTE - this conjunction happened in the run-up to Pluto's first entry into Aquarius, so could surely have a connection with that. </p><p><br /></p><p>2. Venus is squaring Neptune as Mercury is trining Jupiter who is answering to her while she is answering to him. Is she <b>drained from the Neptune square or fired up to make changes</b> - remember the Moon in Taurus trining Uranus is answering to Venus, too. The way we are FEELING will be uber important here. </p><p><br /></p><p>and 3. Venus is squaring Neptune in the event chart for this weekend as Pluto enters Aquarius (<i>with the Sun</i>) and we might as well say he kicks off the New Age of Aquarius, because this is probably as close as we are getting to <i>that</i> in our lifetimes. We will talk about that in the next Pluto post because it has both challenging and opportunistic Venus/Neptune implications for the new energy kick off - draining relationships and resources, but also giving us a portal to old loves/compassion/our ancestral inheritance. It's exciting. Complicated. </p><p><br /></p><p>NOW, I need to toss in a disclaimer here because in my birth chart I have multiple Neptune squares, since he is the apex of a gnarly and also uber helpful at times T-Square with my Sun, Saturn and Mars, all of whom are squaring Neptune within 1 or 2 degrees. And he sits on my Ascendant. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sooo .. you might think this would make me an expert, but, I am thinking it might make me look at this whole thing a bit more jaded. Neptune squares also give us access to something bigger than ourselves, to compassion and universal love, to our ancestors/past lives and what has come before us. The 'drain' - think of a pipe here - runs both ways after all. I am focused on the Neptune square and not the Venus square and Venus squares are maybe not so bad. We might get hurt. We might lose some money, but ... they are portals to VENUS. Neptune - what is behind us, the ethereal realms, no boundaries - gets to VENUS.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not sure how helpful this post is, but I am sure that Mercury is still in Capricorn for a <i>reason</i>, as the Sun and Pluto make their exit - to give us these opportunistic portals to Saturn and Jupiter. The two middle planets that connect the inner planets - us - with the outer planets - everything that isn't us. And there is a reason Mercury's retrograde took us back to Sagittarius FIRST - back to our hope, faith and optimism. </p><p><br /></p><p>Complicated storylines are playing out folks. </p><p><br /></p><p>And, of course, this feeling that something is coming. Something ELSE.</p><p><br /></p><p>xo all</p>Catherine Ivinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01642469475264570967noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3644717516426101893.post-24053451771157197022024-01-17T17:45:00.003-05:002024-01-18T16:14:51.870-05:00today's astrology forecast | Thursday, January 18th, 2024 - let's keep making our way through this week, today has some great energy for practical action, make calls, plans and goals<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgutryphi1KVSgoTKVDc4BWxsiG93ILzrRaSDkmsY8md_IOWWZa_Ozwqu1dtwIulQ4A681E5z_H2Ml_yDhntECTyM3FditjAjrGx9e5_BLbypalMotQ1Mckd47Ba_TQsNfEb5W6qnwOPMjXZAMiL1i9hJssxesNQAkaTjJzImPxynVkQMOWFoYl1e5Scg9U/s622/cativins_vintage_telephone_in_an_office_minimal_conceptual_vibr_b958483a-0105-4345-a7a0-dc39c2c47b15.webp" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="622" data-original-width="622" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgutryphi1KVSgoTKVDc4BWxsiG93ILzrRaSDkmsY8md_IOWWZa_Ozwqu1dtwIulQ4A681E5z_H2Ml_yDhntECTyM3FditjAjrGx9e5_BLbypalMotQ1Mckd47Ba_TQsNfEb5W6qnwOPMjXZAMiL1i9hJssxesNQAkaTjJzImPxynVkQMOWFoYl1e5Scg9U/s600/cativins_vintage_telephone_in_an_office_minimal_conceptual_vibr_b958483a-0105-4345-a7a0-dc39c2c47b15.webp" width="600" /></a></div>
<span><a name='more'></a></span><p><br /></p><p>More run up to the weekend's big energies - </p><p><br /></p><p>we wake with the Moon in Taurus, the sign of her exaltation. Now we are nourished/nurtured by more typically nourishing things. A good meal, a warm bed, a soft touch. She sextiles Saturn, trines Mercury, meets Jupiter and trines Mars. All good. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is also the day, and for the third time, Mercury, again, sextiles Saturn in Pisces. This time they are both direct. Our words/ideas and conversations are older and wiser. We should have some idea of what we need to do to give our dreams/imaginings LEGS. Conversations with authority and stepping into our own - can go well. News will be realistic. This is a Saturnian opportunity, so comes if we KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING.</p><p><br /></p><p>Things are moving <i>forward</i>. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sextiles are creative opportunities, but require some efforting on our part. This is great energy for serious AND compassionate conversations. To set goals. To make plans. To commit to something practical.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cappy/Pisces is the energy of 'making the dream real', so what is a practical step you can take now to get you closer to where you are wanting to be?</p><p><br /></p><p>Think of it like this - Capricorn and Pisces energies are ALWAYS sextile each other (<i>60 degrees apart</i>), always one is WANTING to create an opportunity with the other. Although they might appear to make strange bedfellows, sober Cappy and dreamy Pisces are actually BUDDIES. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, when a planet/point in one sign comes in and lines up closely enough by degree with a planet/point in the other sign there is this little (<i>sometimes not so little</i>) window of time and space (<i>a portal</i>) when these energies have access to each other -</p><p><br /></p><p>in this case through Mercury (<i>communication, words, tech, siblings, transportation, education, local community, doing multiple things or doing something again, our work, health, our day-to-day routine</i>) and Saturn (<i>father, work, our career/the way we are seen by the world, our goals, ambitions, responsibilities, structure</i>). </p><p><br /></p><p>We can use this portal through some kind of effort - usually action, but not always direct action. The closer this portal is - in this case, 4 degrees Cappy or Pisces - to a planet or point in our natal or progressed chart, most likely the stronger our NUDGE will be to DO SOMETHING. </p><p><br /></p><p>And the more effective our effort will be if we do. </p><p><br /></p><p>Doors open. </p><p><br /></p><p>Something else to keep in mind, is right now, and up until sometime in March, when Jupiter gets outside the orb of this sextile - we have Jupiter in a sextile with Saturn, too. </p><p><br /></p><p>This one is VERY long lasting - much longer than this week's Mercury/Saturn and will cover the early to mid degrees of Taurus and Pisces. Taurus ands Pisces is another set of energies (<i>60 degrees apart</i>) that are always sextile and now, occupied by Jupiter and Saturn - EXTREMELY POTENT. We will talk more about this next week and sometimes in the first week in February when they are about as close as they will get. </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">For today, there is good energy for FORWARD movement, especially via conversations and communications, and also, with that Taurus Moon, for taking care of ourselves.</span> </p><p><br /></p><p>Make the call. Send the email. <b>Practical action is best. </b></p><p><br /></p><p>xo all</p>Catherine Ivinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01642469475264570967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3644717516426101893.post-35187955990956386902024-01-16T11:19:00.002-05:002024-01-16T11:21:55.444-05:00today's astrology forecast | Wednesday, January 17th, 2024 - a need to assert ourselves and adjust our focus in the run-up to the big energies later in the week <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNpm_NACJJFGlPYxyEvqZCXzubpJxBuveEQ5gt2EnggAl9ziyIDWbAQXIT_B4wVDo4wc6Pgy4ybNI8BSHxZSTaRs7tRQKtD0qwWgdvXBpaAUWzAf-OnexPUZ5pDs5gxZUrnq6p6BK7JNbbl552NIFWC9TeWzvd_V0aDbVla91GyADJ-HGQ9Ky3I4VLMWrb/s622/cativins_vintage_camera_minimal_conceptual_vibrant_colors_2c2293aa-605b-4edf-8465-abbacd3ee342.webp" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="622" data-original-width="622" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNpm_NACJJFGlPYxyEvqZCXzubpJxBuveEQ5gt2EnggAl9ziyIDWbAQXIT_B4wVDo4wc6Pgy4ybNI8BSHxZSTaRs7tRQKtD0qwWgdvXBpaAUWzAf-OnexPUZ5pDs5gxZUrnq6p6BK7JNbbl552NIFWC9TeWzvd_V0aDbVla91GyADJ-HGQ9Ky3I4VLMWrb/s600/cativins_vintage_camera_minimal_conceptual_vibrant_colors_2c2293aa-605b-4edf-8465-abbacd3ee342.webp" width="600" /></a></div>
<span><a name='more'></a></span><p><br /></p><p>The Moon is in Aries today - <span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;">we are nourished/nurtured by action, physical movement, taking the initiative, following our instincts, time spent alone, time spent with men, passion, anger. She is waxing (<i>growing</i>). She will trine Venus in Sagittarius and square the Capricorn Sun.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;">The square is this month's First Quarter Square - the first challenge to the serious fresh start of last week's New Moon in Capricorn. First Quarter Squares always show up as tension and frustration and urge us to take action to correct it/feel better. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;">Aries is young/impulsive energy. Wants what it wants. Wants it NOW. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;">Aries squares can make us antsy/add pressure to take action, get something moving. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;">The Cappy Sun is slower, older/wiser sets rules/limits. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">AND sometimes the limits are too limiting and rules too rigid. Aries energy comes in and shakes things up. Maybe WE need to be the shaker-upper now. Or maybe we are the ones whose outdated authority is being challenged. Either way - to keep the flow of last week's New Moon in Cappy <i>going</i>, this tension/frustration/resistance is NEEDED .. so we can <i>turn a corner. </i></span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;">This is also the day Venus in Sag (<i>who has just trined that same Cappy Moon</i>) moves into her opposition with Vesta, retrograde in Gemini. I missed this in the weekly.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;">Vesta (<i>how we keep our inner flame lit</i>) is the energy of our sacred focus/devotion and I have found people with a strong Vesta tend to be passionate about a cause or their career. Retrograde in Gemini since the end of December, she is doing her best to contain Gemini's curiosity, to re-turn us to an issue/an idea/a conversation, so maybe we can make a different choice, see the other side of things or just zero in on an important detail. Maybe we are taking another look at an area of multi-tasking or a local community or sibling situation. Gemini also rules our hands, twins and twin situations, tricksters, commerce and transportation. Vesta retrograde wants our focus/attention HERE. If our focus is scattered all over the place, Gemini run amok, it can't be called a FOCUS at all. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;">(<i>note Vesta will station direct in Gemini on February 8th just as the Sun squares Uranus and hours before the New Moon in Aquarius - so this Gemini re-look is even more important PLUS Gemini is going to be very important later in the year through Jupiter and Sedna</i>)</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;">Venus - how we attract what we are wanting - comes in through "sky's the limit/big-picture" Sagittarius to broaden Vesta's view of things. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;">Un-attach her focus.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;">Venus applies a wide angle lens to Vesta's camera - "Venus" coming through a situation, other person, belief, etc. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;">Or conversely depending on our roles here "Vesta" brings Venus, with her head in the blue skies of Sagittarius, back to an important DETAIL. Pay attention. </span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;">Venus is uber busy this week. Rules our relationships, our resources, our self-esteem and in Sagittarius is bringing the hope/optimism/faith. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;">She has already met up with Ceres and squared Juno, retrograde in Virgo before she opposes Vesta now, and she is applying to her BIG square to Neptune that happens right around the time Pluto meets the Sun and they jump into Aquarius at the end of the week.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Crimson Text", serif; font-size: 17.6px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Crimson Text, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 17.6px;">With the Venus/Neptune pulled into the Sun/Pluto into Aquarius, anything in her run-up to <i>that</i> probably matters more than it otherwise would. So, this need, as she opposes Vesta, to WIDEN our focus a bit OR to focus in on an important detail depending on our situation - basically to <i>work</i> the OPPOSITION of the big-picture and the details is <i>important</i>. Part of the process. Part of the new story. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Crimson Text, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 17.6px;"><br /></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Crimson Text, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 17.6px;">Keep in mind Venus in Sag is answering to Jupiter in Taurus, so they are in mutual reception/in each other's signs. This strengthens both of them and allows Venus access to her beloved sign of Taurus through Jupiter, so through a stretch/risk, through confidence, through optimism/faith. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Crimson Text, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 17.6px;"><br /></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Crimson Text, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 17.6px;">This is kind of echoing today's Aries Moon, so don't be afraid to push your luck a bit now. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Crimson Text, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 17.6px;"><br /></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Crimson Text, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 17.6px;">xo all</span></span></p>Catherine Ivinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01642469475264570967noreply@blogger.com0
