Fallen Mercury conjunct Jupiter in Leo: Enhanced belief: Knowledge becomes a Muse.

One of the most important aspects of manifestation is belief in oneself and the outcome of a goal. 

This conjunction provides both. 

Roy Bennet once said, "Beliefs are choices. First, you choose your beliefs. Then your beliefs affect your choices." 

Unless you have adverse major aspects, this conjunction quells the ego and enlarges the heart, providing the positive and exuberant vision of success. Inward consciousness is balanced with the outer world eliminates grandiose, pie-in-the-sky dreams for details and facts. 

It's a perfect day for communication and planning, particularly long-range. Knowledge becomes a Muse we willingly submit to.

Mercury conjunct Hygieia in Leo & OOB N' Mars in Cancer inc OOB S' Pluto Rx in Aquarius: Efficiency Contributes to Mental & Emotional Health. 

This is a fast-moving transit but pertinent in regard to health and hygiene and communication. 

Mercury isn't just a messenger to the Gods but a representative of healing, which is why he carries the caduceus. He is also the patron of short-distance travel such as commutes and/or day trips.  

It's a perfect time to tidy up and/or organize your workspace or home; efficient cleanliness contributes to mental well-being that fuels physical health. 

Because this is happening in the 2nd house, it's also a realm of opportunity for us to double-check our books and budget. Security and resources can be established through clear and concise methods of communication. 

Let's not forget to express gratitude and revel in our own pleasures as well: A luxurious bath, a decadent meal, a cozy retreat. 

Late tonight, OOB N' Mars in Cancer inc OOB S' Pluto Rx in Aquarius. Don't know about you guys but I'll be sound asleep for this one. However, if you're awake, this aspect portends a strain either with self or someone else and requires an adjustment or change in perspective. 

This could lead to an all-out conflict. Pick your battles wisely. . .ask if the cost of winning would be too high.

Mars square Neptune, Mercury trine Saturn, Venus sextile Jupiter: Potential for Business & Soul Growth. 

Early morning, fallen Mars in Cancer square Neptune Rx in Aries. We may feel restless and somewhat temperamental. Rather than succumb to radical emotions and/or actions, why not utilize our intellect to explore a thing of peripheral interest? Something considered taboo by societal standards should sate our curiosity. 

Late morning, fallen Mercury in Leo trine fallen Saturn Rx in Aries. It’s an excellent time for communication and organization. We may feel serious and focused; however, we’re also in a positive and achievement-conscious mindset. Our critical thinking skills enable us to made strides toward our goals through practical measures. Take care not to lose track of time. Balance work with rest and play.

Early afternoon dignified Venus in Libra sextile Jupiter in Leo. Venus is dignified in Libra, and its 12th house placement is also its accidental exaltation at the time of perfection. This fuels this lesser benefic of beauty while adding power to the greater benefic, Jupiter in Leo’s exuberant and successful placement in the 10th. 

It’s an excellent time for business transactions, contracts, legal and financial affairs.  The only caveat is procrastination and/or indolence on our part. Work it to create and/or secure it.  Add to the ambiance of this transit by socializing with friends this evening. 

There’s also a potential to meet a soulmate who contributes to your spiritual growth.

First Quarter Square OOB S’ Moon, Scorpio Discussion: Not all that Glisters is Gold.

The Moon is fallen in Scorpio and OOB S’, so we can expect increased emotional intensity and difficulty expressing our feelings in a clear and concise manner.

This lunation is already emotionally possessive, as is the nature of Scorpios, ruled by Pluto and Mars, who are also currently OOB (Mars N’ & Pluto S’). Pluto OOB S’ is in the deepest territory of its own home of death and rebirth, where all things hidden and the truth is worth fighting for. 

Some astrologers refer to this part of the Lunar cycle as a crisis of action because we tend to forget our New Moon intentions or allow them to fall by the wayside. This can be from doubt and insecurity that they could ever grow and flourish.

Venus sextile Hygieia and the Leo Sun inconjunct Juno: We are most beautiful when we feel it. Compromise can be the antidote to disagreements.

Venus sextile Hygieia and the Leo Sun inconjunct Juno: We are most beautiful when we feel it. Compromise can be the antidote to disagreements.

Venus sextile Hygieia is a very pleasant aspect which increases focus on our health and physical appearance by taking action toward improvements. Perhaps we commit to a gym membership, walking, in-home exercise routine, or healthier eating. 

We may opt for a new hair cut or autumn wardrobe. Beautification of our surroundings is also on the menu to create a pleasing ambiance at home, so go for it! We are most beautiful when we feel it.

Late tonight, the Sun in Leo inconjunct Juno Rx in Capricorn indicates a potential clash in a relation/partnership. One may feel playful while the other reserved. Compromise can be the antidote to disagreements. 

Maybe not an all-out evening of fun as one partner might desire, but a brisk walk in nature, a fun game or a movie night at home with popcorn and snacks to whet the desire for fun and appease the partner that may feel unsociable.

Venus in Libra oppose Saturn Rx in Aries Mercury in Leo trine Pallas Athene Rx in Aries: We have more fun when obligations have been addressed first.  

Early morning, Venus in Libra oppose Saturn Rx in Aries. It is possible to feel two emotions at once: social and yet distant. Venus creates a desire for interaction while Saturn Rx isolation and focus on obligation. 

An opposition is an opportunity to beneficially reconcile polarity between opposing energies. We can appease both by tending to our responsibilities while breaking for social interactions: Lunch, dinner, coffee breaks, phone conversations, etc. 

Early afternoon Mercury in Leo trine Pallas Athene Rx in Aries, infusing our ability to communicate and defend our position with strategic wisdom. A desire for knowledge increases, particularly involving philosophical or religious ideologies. 

Freedom and fun are very important this afternoon and evening; however, there is that pesky Saturn in the previous aspect reminding us that obligation precedes enjoyment; however, once we’ve met those responsibilities, the evening is ours!

Pluto Rx in Aquarius inconjunct Ceres in Cancer, Juno Rx in Capricorn square Vesta Rx in Aries, Saturn Rx in Aries trine Hygieia in Leo: Manipulation never works on someone who values their independence. 

Midafternoon, Pluto Rx in Aquarius inconjunct Ceres in Cancer: A tireless energy and reflective inspiration stem from Pluto’s desire for hidden truths. Ceres in Cancer craves emotional intimacy through relationships. 

But there’s a danger here of smothering and/or attempting to control the connection, which produces the opposite effect. Loosen the reins and allow others to pursue their desires if we wish ours to be fulfilled.

Tonight, Juno Rx in Capricorn square Vesta in Aries. Some of us may seek long-term commitment through legally sanctioned means to feel secure, which will undoubtedly lead to attempts to control a partner. Just as the above, manipulation won’t work against a strong desire to maintain independence; however, also risks alienation. Staying in our own lane while allowing others navigate theirs is advised. If they intersect, great. 

This doesn’t just refer to marriage but business contracts, agreements, etc.  

Late tonight, Saturn Rx in Aries trine Hygieia in Leo, creating an atmosphere of heart-centered healing, but not without caution, most likely from the day’s energy.  Coming clean about how we feel and releasing stress through a hot bath or shower can work wonders. The energy is amicable and ingenious methods of relaxation and interaction are available through vulnerability.

Sun in Virgo trine Chiron Rx in Taurus; Lilith Rx in Sagittarius trine Pallas Athene Rx in Aries: The burden of the past won’t fit through the future's gate. 

Midafternoon, the Sun in Virgo trine Chiron Rx in Taurus on the critical 0°, where the sign’s traits (Virgo & Taurus) are amplified. Some astrologers may not agree that a retrograding planet (Chiron) applies here, and I respect their opinion; however, because Chiron is crossing this ingress degree for a second time, I feel its potency is palpable.

Virgo’s domain is the 6th house, where work and health are linked together and service is paramount. At heart, Virgo is a healer and Chiron is the wounded healer. Together they can mount a transformational campaign of holistic healing that includes body, mind, and spirit. 

This is accomplished via a higher perspective and emotional release from whatever we perceive is keeping us bound. It’s imperative to rise above and seize the opportunity for freedom. 

Late tonight, Lilith Rx in Sagittarius trine Pallas Athene Rx in Aries in the 8th and 12th respectively. Both of these goddesses are re-crossing degrees in fire signs. Lilith reviewing themes surrounding freedom from repression and Pallas Athene karmic patterns relating to self.

I wanted to glance at Lynda Hill's Sabian Symbols for 22° Aries & Sagittarius to add more context to what I was sensing. 

Note: Always add one degree to the symbol you are looking up. Lynda’s website (linked below) automatically adds the degree, so enter the exact degree you’re looking up, and the correct degree will pull up. 

Sagittarius: A GROUP OF IMMIGRANTS FULFILLING THE REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTERING A NEW COUNTRY

Aries: A WOMAN IN PASTEL COLORS CARRYING A HEAVY AND VALUABLE BUT VEILED LOAD

When striving toward our goals, are we too rigid to accept new terms in order to attain them? New perspectives bring fresh insight that proves valuable to personal growth. Don’t play small but don’t try to carry the burden of the past into the future. 

It won’t fit through the gate.
