"Stars impel; they do not compel."

Artist: Mark Tennant

Mars joins the conjunction between the Jupiter and the South Node in Leo @ 25° in the 11th House of group relations and social consciousness early morning. This is the realm of emotional relationships, our desires, goals, our capacity to receive love, and finances earned from our professions. It’s also the domain of circumstances beyond our control, which implies acceptance. 

This triple conjunction will remain partile until early Monday, when Mars begins to separate. 

The South Node here represents innate patterns involving relationships: Personal, professional, or on a collective level (clubs, groups, memberships, etc.). If the past has proven difficult regarding authenticity when among others—choosing instead to remain in the shadows of support—our challenge is to step forward and be seen: The South Node in Leo—into the spotlight. 

The 25th degree is associated with Mars and represents communicating our personal goals combined with the energy and drive we need to plan accordingly. Pursuing our vision with assistance of others is paramount. Resist any desire to isolate; no man is an island pertains heavily here. 

The challenge here is twofold: Create and maintain a balance between our own desires and those of others; and not losing our authentic voice. Martyrdom serves no one in the long run. 

Jupiter in all of this? Well, it’s going to expand whatever energy we create. Be it collaborative or the avenue of the loner, where we may discover ourselves more isolated than ever, increasing insecurity and doubts about our chosen path. I guess the question would be what frame of mind were we in when we opted to separate ourselves? Was it our ego, or a true need for solitude?

Consider carefully the path you choose over the next few days. There is middle ground if we opt to seek it out. These are not the days for selfishness. 

The Mars/Jupiter conjunction will perfect Monday morning @ 1:24 AM, EST.

Astraea will enter Pisces Monday, November 16 @ 1:51 PM via the 12th, the natural home of Neptunian-ruled Pisces. 

Astraea in Pisces

Astraea symbolizes an unwillingness to compromise our ne plus ultra by holding onto hope. In Pisces, the sign of understanding, compassion and ascension, our personal pursuit of justice and virtue is solely based on the emotional and spiritual principle, seeking the absolute in love. We may discover ourselves defending an ideal long after others have given up hope of its manifestation. 

We may also find ourselves, or at least our unwavering determination, facing resistance because our goal of a utopian-like coupling (spiritual or romantic) can appear in the form of abjuration. This pivoting point is where we decide to hold onto a destructive pattern or illusion of reality much longer than we should have, causing potential stagnation. Or we can opt to release this outdated ideal and move into a more productive territory.

Astraea enters Pisces today @ 1:51 PM via the 12th, the natural home of Neptunian-ruled Pisces. If you missed yesterday’s post, it’s linked below. 

Mars/Jupiter conjunction in Leo perfects @ 1:24 AM, EST in the 11th. Mars has been partile with Jupiter and the South Node in Leo since Saturday when we initially discussed it. The post is also linked below if you missed it. 

This lunar phase perfects early tomorrow morning @ 6:48 AM 25°08’ Aquarius, in its natural home of the fourth house, a house of endings and security. This realm reflects our heritage, ancestral roots, private life and established home. 

Full Article linked below.

This last quarter square Moon conjunct North Node opposes the Mars / Jupiter / South Node conjunction we discussed Saturday. 

If the South Node here represents innate patterns involving relationships, challenging us to step forward and be seen—involving releasing or breaking a cycle—then the North Node, particularly conjunct Mars and Jupiter, represents gain, increase, and added confidence to express our authentic self. This is the first step to moving in the direction of our desires.

With the Moon / North Node conjunct in the realm of the past, our intuition is going to be the catalyst that enables us to break free and step into unknown territory. What we think and what we feel are often conflicting, so don’t get trapped by the mind breeding paralyzing thoughts today. The Mars / Jupiter / South Node conjunction in the domain of Saturn means we’re required to work and earn what we want. 

It’s not going to be handed to us. 

Today, closely weigh the balance between what we want most and what we find difficult to let go of. 

Maybe we can’t release the totality of something, but we can alter how we interact and / or respond to it. We can alter how we perceive its presence as something to test our resolve—how badly do we want change? 

Enough to overcome the fear of it?

This lunar phase perfects early this morning @ 6:48 AM 25°08’ Aquarius, in its natural home of the fourth house, a house of endings and security. This realm reflects our heritage, ancestral roots, private life and established home. 

If you missed yesterday’s discussion, including the decan, tarot, and aspects (sans the Chiron sextile) for this phase, it’s linked below. Today’s attention is on the Lunar sextile to Chiron late this morning. 

This aspect occurs at @ 11:09 AM and combines emotional maturation with healing themes involving the core of our identity, value, and self-worth: The wounds we live with by covering them up whenever we feel threatened. This most likely occurred when we were young and exposed, prompting us to build a fortress around our vulnerabilities. 

Healing this aspect of ourselves requires accepting responsibility for our choices and ensuing consequences through honest discernment regardless of what others think. 

What others think influenced our decision to hide our truth, now we can come clean, liberating our spirit to fully live those truths. 

Despite the Sun/Moon square today, this sextile provides a gentler aspect without feeling overwhelmed. The wound reveals itself, allowing us to work quietly with the sadness of it through self-awareness. 

This lunar position allows us to detach emotionally, enabling intellectual discernment to influence our perception. 

Constraints that once jeopardized our freedom and values become less significant than living our truth. 

Because Aquarius represents knowing and imagination, a more progressive avenue rather than traditional healing is open to us. 

Convention is the antithesis to unorthodox methods of palliative relief. We cannot remain where we are but have been uncertain how to alleviate this wound. 

Intuition can serve as a lamp to guide us. The body innately knows how to heal; the sextile dissipates the veil that may have clouded our vision. 

Here is where we may have resisted in the past; here is where we can choose to work openly and honestly with the pain so that it feels seen, heard, and healed. 

Whether that work includes others or by solitude is a question that only each individual experiencing this can answer.

My hope today is that we each take time to explore that answer.

This aspect perfects @ 4:39 AM in the 2nd and 10th houses respectively, bringing our focus to personal values and resources, particularly our possessions and the fear of letting go that may be holding us back from moving forward. Now is the time to make great strides toward our goals if we are willing refrain from pushing our values onto others by confusing arrogance for confidence. 

The key to gain is by avoiding excess on any level: financially (extravagance), physically (not obtaining ample rest), and emotionally (overthinking that leads to anxiety, et al). This transit furnishes a potent energy that can prompt us into taking on much more than we can handle or extends beyond our current resources. 

If conflict with others arises, listen closely and evaluate their perspective before becoming defensive. Seeking common ground can provide a temporary if not permanent truce. 

Again, avoid pompous arrogance and a domineering attitude if you want to make headway with others, especially if they’re a resource.

Early morning thru early afternoon, Mars in Leo trine Chiron Rx in Aries followed by the Sun in Scorpio inc Chiron Rx square Mars in Leo @ 27°. 

Unless we become uber critical or demanding, the day begins smoothly. The focus is on health and work. Chiron Rx transiting the 6th links work and health together—it’s also where our inner critic can overanalyze. Mars traversing the 10th links work with status and ego. Go easy this morning. 

Eat healthy. Don’t rush, even if running late. Avoid a haughty attitude and understand that to err is human. Compassion could heal a relationship and understanding soothes something within us. 

Late morning we may meet a need to adjust a schedule, appointment, or even our perception when the Sun inc Chiron Rx.  We could be faced with a unique opportunity to interact with a diverse audience, where misunderstandings can produce discord. Being authentic rather than showy eliminates a perception of social climbing. 

Accepting outcomes gracefully and humbly heals disappointment when praise is extended toward us because of our positive attitude. It also lays a future foundation of influence. 

Early afternoon requires patience when the Sun squares Mars. Whether we’re the one tooting our own horn or someone else, it can be annoying. The drum of ego can either awaken others from their complacency or produce eyerolls and ear plugs. Rising above lower vibrational energies complements our tolerance. As stated above, graceful humility opens many more doors than listing our accomplishments.

Tonight we may feel withdrawn and reflective when Mercury in Scorpio inc Saturn Rx in Aries.  It’s the perfect opportunity to innately examine our personal life and relationships. Discussing our feelings and ideas with a partner is highly favored — withholding will only cause future blowups at inopportune times. 

If we can’t seem to shake something from the past, it’s because it needs addressing. Seek the link between the past and present. Saturn in the 10th is a stabilizing placement, enabling our efforts to bear the results we desire.

The source-energy of the horoscope will be on the move Saturday, PST (11:23 PM) and Sunday, EST (2:23 AM) when it enters the Archer of the Zodiac, Sagittarius. 

With the exception of the Moon, our natal Sun and its aspects have more influence on our horoscope than other planets because it rules our physical body (our personal energy source), health, and vitality.

This Roman goddess was originally known to the ancient Greeks as Demeter. Her name was derived from da meter, meaning “Earth Mother”. She is the sister of goddesses Vesta, hearth and home, and Juno, committed relationships.

As goddess of agriculture and the harvest, Ceres symbolized the cultivated, fertile soil that fed and provided for humanity. One of the greatest ancient myths involves the daughter of Ceres, Kore/Persephone’s abduction by Hades/Pluto to the underworld. 

[ . . . ]

Ceres in Cancer creates a deep womb of emotional caring through intimate service to those we care about, such as preparing a meal or creating a safe home environment; however, it’s important not to lose ourselves in the process. [ . . . ]

OOB planets can go one of two ways: firstly, they can produce exceptional creativity exceeding the potential of expectations; or, secondly, they can be erratically unpredictable and go to extremes that can detrimentally affect others, including themselves.
