An afflicted Venus - Gate into September

An afflicted Venus

Statue of Aphrodite

Jupiter and Neptune

This last week of August, Venus indulges herself as she opposes Jupiter and trine Neptune. 

Desires are expanded without limits, and overindulgence in love, expenses, or social life may backfire. 

You feel that no pleasure is enough; you may ‘drown’ in food, drink, sex, beauty, music, art, anything that makes you relax, and even provides an escape. You may even ditch work, spiritual practice, and morality for a moment’s enjoyment, that will not really satisfy you in the end. 

Be careful spending more than you can afford because you may regret it later. Usually, what may happen is that another person encourages you to go overboard, so it’s important to exercise self-control and moderation if you want to come out of this one ‘uninjured’.

As August draws to a close, Venus is entering a very compromised position in the zodiac. She enters into a Grand Cardinal Square configuration. 

Pluto

Not only does Venus opposes Pluto, but they do it EXACTLY at 22º ♑️46’, the exact degree and minute of the Saturn Pluto conjunction of January 12, 2020. Simply put, Venus and Pluto reactivate the issues that trigger the catastrophic developments of 2020.

Venus in Cancer is ruled by the Moon in Aquarius. This means that the values to hold are the people’s interest in the safety, protection, and security of families. Venus also represents resources, supplies, money, that we need and desire to sustain life (Taurus). She is also the love, self-esteem, and attraction we need to establish and maintain relationships (Libra), personal and social.

Changes issued of powerful forces of transmutation in society, government, institutions, and from those who own the world resources, operate a profound demolition and restructure of the social paradigm. Let’s not forget that Uranus in Taurus (ruled by Venus) is changing values regarding Nature, ecology, the environment, resources, food supply at the same time that changes personal and relationship values.

In opposition to Pluto, Venus is subject to power struggles from the powers that be, from another powerful person, entity or establishment that forces a profound transformation.

This may mean that food supply chains are disrupted due to the structural dismantling. It could mean that natural or human made atomic, radiation, chemical pollution damages the resources we need to survive.
In our present context, it could mean that the virus, since it was, after all, THE main issue related to the Saturn Pluto Conjunction of January 12, 2020, threatens to contaminate people massively, affecting the very fabric of society (Moon in Aquarius).

It could also represent a threat to the real estate value or the ability of the common folks to have a roof over their head.

They will certainly trigger financial upheavals related to taxes, insurance, stock market, and to the money available to the common people.

At a personal level, couples may suffer sexual difficulties, due to manipulation, jealousy, overpowering, submission by force, and violence.

There could be a tendency to trying to change others by relentless force, lack of kindness and consideration for their desires.

Saturn and Mars

TimePassages Chart by Astrograph

September 2, 2020, Venus opposite Saturn, applying to the waxing square to Mars.

This square is the crisis in action point, where action is unavoidable. Certain situation or event requires you to do something related to your desires, finances, resources, love, values.

The opposition to Saturn, indicates restructuring of finances, probable limited access to money, frustration in social life because of isolation, profound depression, delays in business, trade, work, economy. Time to tighten the belt. Resources may be scarce.

In relationships, you may feel unlovable, or unloved, rejected. You may experience separation from the object of your love or have a hard time satisfying your desires. Oppositions in general, are notices when other people, another person, or outside circumstances are against you. Someone may not give you what you want, or may ask you to fulfill your responsibility before giving you what you want. You may have low confidence in relationships and in social life, and feel isolated, lonely.

Juno & Haumea in Libra

Haumea is a newly discovered (Dec. 2004) dwarf planet in the farthest side of the Solar System after Neptune. About the size of Pluto, it's not less significant. It was name out of Haumea is the Hawaiian goddess of fertility and childbirth. 

Haumea

“She gave birth to many children, and to all the island chiefs. She is a great creation Goddess and the ancestor of all indigenous Hawaiians who are descendants of the ancient civilization of Mu. Haumea is a crone archetype and is the elder in a trinity of Hawaiian Goddesses that includes Hina and Pele. Haumea had the power to change her form as her nature was constantly renewing; although she grew old, she was continually transformed into a young woman, representing the cycles of women’s lives.

Each of her children emerged from a different part of her body, symbolizing a profoundly nourishing source of life. Haumea also acts as a divine midwife to human mothers and taught women the mysteries of childbirth. Author Martha Beckworth, whose collection resides in a Hawaiian museum, suggests that the name Haumea actually comes from Hanaumea, which means ‘sacred birth’.

Haumea is thought to inhabit the Makalei tree, a Tree of Life on the island of Oahu, whose mystical branches and deep roots yield infinite amounts of food. Like a Cornucopia, the tree symbolically provides many staples to the Hawaiian people, such as coconut, bamboo, taro root, breadfruit and sugar cane. When the Goddess shakes a sacred branch of the miraculous Makalei tree over water, she attracts abundant fish.”

Venus square Haumea and the asteroid Juno indicate that the nature of our unbridled desires, our dealing with and wasting of the Earth resources are not respecting the capacity of Nature to regenerate, and perpetuate life on Earth. Our extreme consumerist attitude does not even consider the human ability to survive.

The Mars opposition to Juno and Haumea in Libra relates to conflicts in relationships, especially love relationships, but also conflict is social life, meaning relationships of any kind. The energy of Mars is lack of kindness, even gruesome aggressiveness, inconsideration, selfishness. May also indicate financial problems (Libra). In addition, it relates to lack of consideration and reverence for Nature, childbirth, the fertility and the bounty of the Earth, aggressive attitude against any kind of fairness, justice, logic, and measure in the use of Mother Earth’s resources.

Juno, Jupiter's Wife

Mars energy reflects a strong will in the search for independence, at ALL costs, without any sensitivity for others. His assertive actions are against all attempts of cooperation. Partnerships may suffer a power struggle for domination, and subjugation.

Mars is now so strong and close to Earth that his energy is incendiary. Difficult to contain raging fires exacerbate the violence against Mother Earth. Please be careful and conscious of your actions.

On their Capricorn side, the triple conjunction pushes for strong repressive measures, that block and controls any intention of soothing the situation with commitment, alliances, equanimity or fairness (Juno). The Establishment, the Old Patriarchal Paradigm grasps as much power and resources as possible in great detriment of the Earth ability to recover and regenerate (Haumea). For more on this, I refer you to my Mars in Aries Catalyst of Change article.

Key to Survival - New Moon in Taurus

The Key to Human Survival

The New Moon on April 22-23, 2020, at the 3º ♉️24' of her exaltation initiates a powerful monthly cycle when we will focus on finding or creating resources to ensure our survival. 

Both the Sun and Moon conjunct Uranus, meaning, our conscious and unconscious self are united to initiate innovation. People everywhere in the world are asking themselves and others, how do we need to change our way of producing food in order to ensure that we eat tomorrow. Uranus in Taurus work is to fracture our stability and inertia in order for us to understand that the economic activity as we know it is no longer working for our benefit. This 'fracture' transforms our values and desires, which translates in us changing our consumerism habits. Our eating and buying habits are changing drastically in response to this fracture.

In the same way Uranus in Taurus accompanied the Great Depression between 1934 and 1941, he is drying out the climate, the land, the air. Strong wind activity will probably have damaging effects over different regions of the earth. Agriculture will be affected by drought and some fertile lands may become deserts.

However, Uranus works also like the strike of a thunderbolt in our intellect. People will come up with genius seeds of ideas in order to face the losses, the scarcity and the economic contraction. A higher level of consciousness will help us expand our awareness of reality, make radical transformations in our daily lives, operate sudden changes and adopt innovative methods of food production.

Uranus rules Aquarius where Saturn just entered to show us that we need to restructure our social behavior. One way Saturn imposed restriction is now social distance, but we can expect more social restructuring down the line when he re-enters Aquarius in December.  At the same time, Mars is also transiting Aquarius, instigating lots of virtual social contact through the Aquarian waves of the Internet. More than ever before, people realize how important is the exchange of ideas, and finding your own like-minded group to pool together, unite the creative variety in order to build something new. The creation of the new paradigm is up to our collective collaboration and cooperative undertakings for the benefit of the local community. 

Let us not forget that even though, Saturn is now in Aquarius, the Saturn Pluto conjunction that occurred January 12, 2020 has started a New Era, a new cycle of 700 years.  Not only that,  but it is in effect the whole year, for two reasons. First reason is, Saturn will soon turn retrograde and enter back in Capricorn where he will approach Pluto once more. The second reason is that the 22-23º ♑️mark where the conjunction took place has been constantly receiving aspects from other planets, thus being activated by Mars, Jupiter, Venus, the Sun, Mercury, and the Moon every month. Worse even, later in the year, Mars retrograde season in Aries will square it three times. AND, as if that is not enough, let's not forget the presence of the revolutionary Eris in constant square to that mark! with whom, Mars will join forces from September through December 2020. The transformative energy of the Saturn Pluto conjunction is associated with the virus onset and spread. It is safe to predict that the illness will continue affecting our health on and off most probably until late Winter or early Spring next year.

Venus, the ruler of this New Moon is transiting her pre-shadow territory in Gemini, where she will dwell until the beginning of August because of her retrograde period. She is in charge of gathering information, and helping us to make connections with other people in the small communities. Once the lockdown is over, we will go out and review, reconsider and reevaluate our current social activity (Venus retrograde motion). It will be only after June 25th that we will actually know for sure what our new values are, what social connections we want to keep, and which ones will go. Then, will be the time to sort out the information we are absorbing now, as well. 

For the moment, we are not able to make up our minds on what is real and what is not. Neptune direct in semisextile with Mercury promotes distraction, a tendency to daydream and try to escape the situation. This energy favors self doubt, doubt in general, misunderstanding, indecisiveness to make a clear choice, much confusion and even unintentional or intentional deception. This is why I always highlight the importance of introspection, reflection and meditation, especially with a news fasting. 

However, we can tap into our inspiration and creativity to imagine the world we want to create going forward, not only for us, but for our children and our posterity. Tune in to your Higher Self and download directly from the Heavens, the Spiritual World. Your ancestors are close to guide you. Even the memories you carry from past (parallel) lives traumas and challenges and how you cope with them, may come to you as entirely surprising solutions. Use this lockdown as an opportunity to retreat and elevate.

Full Moon in Virgo - Your Health, My Health! March 9, 2020

 Your Health, My Health!

Full Moon 19º37’ ♍️Virgo

March 9, 2020

Image by Daniel Kirsch Pixabay.

Your Healing, My Healing
The Full Moon happens at 19º 37’ Virgo, with the Sun conjunct Neptune in Pisces.  Full Moons are always culminations by maximum opposition that allow for awareness of the issues related to the Signs involved. The Virgo Pisces axis of the zodiac is associated with health and healing, with energetic and physical imbalance, spirituality and practicality, service, charity, reclusion in hospitals and prisons, retreat and quarantine.

The Virgo Moon’s spotlights health, healing, cleaning, disinfection, organization, cleansing, detox, health related issues and activities.

The Sun with Neptune in Pisces sheds light or focuses on the confusion, the lack of boundaries, vulnerable immune system, and invisible ‘enemies’, i.e. germs.

Virgo’s symbol is a maiden separating the wheat from the chaff, which implies discrimination at the time of separating what’s good from what’s not. Virgo criticizes because it uses discernment to analyze, classify, organize. Virgo gives information in a logical thread of ideas, one ensuing from the other by reasonable association. 

Thank goodness that Mercury turns direct today in Aquarius! Thoughts and communications become clearer, we can focus on the details, analyse, and organize data in order to come up with sound conclusions. Mercury, ruler of this Full Moon, now in Aquarius is sharp for scientific research, and access to higher knowledge to bring about innovation and cutting edge solutions. Between now and March 15th, take advantage of it and do your accounting, taxes, studies, and any administrative work, before Mercury re-enters Pisces until April 10th. 

Pisces on the contrary, merges everything together, doesn’t have separations or distinctions. That's why, my health is your health, because we are all interconnected and interdependent. Pisces perceives by intuition and imagination, gives the whole insight in one piece, in an image or sequence of images like in a movie. In Pisces, it’s easy to be confused, to hide secrets, to conceal or diffuse information, or to have misinformation. However, the Sun may give some clarity now on the health issues, so we may finally have enough ‘light’ to understand them better.

However, as it is the case for all oppositions, it may exacerbate the polarization of opinions, which in turn will motivate people to dig out the truth more sensibly.

If you have a personal planet around the 20º of the mutable Signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius or Pisces), its related issues will be clearer. At a personal level, the Sun conjunct Neptune gives a sense of defeat, low energy level, suspension in time, disillusion, imaginary thinking, self-deception. Neptune debilitates the aura, the immune system and makes you vulnerable to secret enemies, like energetic attachment, or other people’s energy.

Let's do something about it
Sun sextiles Jupiter and Mars in Capricorn, which opens the possibility to act on increased clairvoyance, or intuition if you keep grounded in your spiritual practice. A bout of inspiration, compassionate concern for others, charity efforts, and professional knowledge could be of great service to the society as a whole if well coordinated and efficiently put to action. 

However the same energy also magnifies idealization, imagination, even mental derangement.

You need to be careful though, and stay away from inflated delusions, especially acting up on them (Mars conjunct Jupiter). Just a few days ago a man called Mike Hughes died in California in a frustrated rocket launch because he’d said “his goal was to eventually fly to the edge of outer space to determine for himself whether the world is round.”

Moon trine Jupiter and Mars opens the possibility that the evolution of the spread of Covid-19 in affected and not affected countries, increases the efforts to control the illness. However, the situation escalates the effect on international trade and the friction in government relationships. There may be a need to modify and improve healthcare measures and responses already taken, in order to match the clearer understanding and knowledge uncovered under the influence of the Full Moon light.

The Moon sesquisquare (135º angle) and the Sun semi square (45º angle) the Venus Uranus conjunction. Even though, these are considered ‘minor’ aspects, their relevance is reflected in the consequences of this health crisis. The Covid-19 has a higher death toll than other forms of flu, impacts the flow of share resources, creating economic instability and commercial stress because of supply shortage, which in turn affect the global finances. The crisis impacts human affections because brings sudden unexpected social and relational changes. Families and loved ones may be separated, by isolation or death. Individuals have already been barred from displacement because of border closings or entire quarantine communities. 

Don't give in to fear, but live mindfully of self and others, be proactive.

Conclusion

We are forced to come out of the dream land of Pisces, learn pertinent scientific information, and take active responsibility for our own life, without waiting for a 'patriarchal' figure to take care of us. More than ever, Human Beings realize that 'The other person is you' (Yogi Bhajan). We cannot continue believing that we can survive in isolation. We have created a global economic network without realizing that we would have to take responsibility for all implications. With this crisis, we are made accountable for our actions and inaction, and even for our intentions. May we all reflect on them, and decide to change our habits, so the Human Race can survive and thrive.

The January 12, 2020 Great Conjunction - Part III

World Chart of the New Era

Mine is an attempt to read the Great Conjunction chart as the Birth of a New Era for the World. The series starts HERE. I will explain the meaning of each Zodiac House using some of the methods I use to read any Birth Chart. This way the reader will also have a sense of how I work. I start here a series of posts revealing the meanings through the houses rulership. 

Choose and hold the direction you want to go in your life.

Third house ruler, Mercury, is in the 10^th house. 

The mind of people is much on what is going on in the public sphere than in their private lives now. Nothing new, right? Especially when millions of people are glued to the media around the world, listening to what their government officials are doing and saying, even though they should know that the politicians keep the truth well hidden in the underworld of their dealings.

With the same token, people may be inclined to be more secretive and protect their information, especially since the media culture promotes openly sharing private lives and then the media owners turn around and sell people’s information to the higher bidder. Not only that but, technology, marketing and skills (all ruled by Mercury) are now so well fine-tuned that it is super easy for the tech savvy to breach into virtually any system not protected by a long series of 36-characters passwords. So, yes, protect yourself by protecting your information!

The communication area gets a more complicated twist because Mercury is overpowered by Pluto and Saturn in Capricorn, and no less by the Sun that makes all of them invisible. Mercury, since he is neutral, always infuses himself with the surrounding planetary energy. For this reason, governmental institutions will have a strong grip on media, communications, and the freedom of speech. Moreover, they can implement heavy-to-digest censure, restrictive regulations, propaganda (not that people haven't seen it lately), manipulations, and generate new laws that heavily thwart all communications, and media businesses. 

Writers, journalists, teachers, broadcasters, translators, interpreters, and communicators of any kind will most probably be constraint to obey new laws that blocks the free flow of information. People can expect the Internet and all media outlets to be heavily regulated, manipulated and manipulative, flooded by propaganda and 'official' public information. People will read, this time for real, the 1984 book by George Orwell, cover to cover. 

The regulation of communications goes very well with the innovative body implanted chips mentioned before. From now on, people won't even need to think for themselves, they will be thought instead. 

Neighborhoods, short distant travels, commute, domestic travel, marketing, advertising, and early education may as well be heavily controlled by a central power and surveilled by the organization of law enforcement (Mercury conjunct Saturn Pluto). The Sun, as the center of the Solar System, in other words, the Boss, overpowers them all. I’m not sure how this will translate in physical reality, if there will be a totalitarian authority in charge of the obscure communication dealings, or in fact, if the sunlight will not allow the underworld influence to see the day. Let’s hope for the best.

Meanwhile, we are the only captain of our personal lives. We can turn the energy around and have it work in a positive beneficial way for us, if and when we transform our way of thinking and our connection with the environment (Mercury). Are we willing to change our behavior online? Will we continue to expose ourselves and make ourselves vulnerable navigating the Internet? Users, clients and customers are who define what the one in power offers and sells. For example, adults should learn how the media work, and teach the children how to behave in public networks. Early basic education is another area ruled by Mercury. I’m afraid that the common folks have to take education in their hands because it is obvious that governments are not interested in people’s learning or understanding anything.

Reading and learning can be liberating. Read!

Remember that Astrology shows what we are doing, because the Universe is inside of us. If we change, the cosmos changes. We are the creators of our own reality. If you want something to change, change it in yourself!

Fourth House ruler, the Moon, is in the Fifth house. 

In turn, the Moon in Leo is ruled by the Sun in Capricorn conjunct our titans, Saturn and Pluto. The Sun there represents a maximum unipersonal government authority. However, it could also represent one’s personal core essence and personal expression of it. Home and family life as well as our comfort and intimate safety, again, is heavily watched, regulated and surveilled by the head of the state, whoever that is, and wherever one lives. 

As I said before, Saturn in Capricorn is the motto energy in this chart. The Sun in Capricorn is the Lord ruling everything public, political, institutional, governmental. If there is a totalitarian authority is because each one of us has made it so. How? Giving our personal power away in the name of safety and security, expecting that the government will watch after the people. Mistake, it doesn’t! Saturn gives a dry and barren feeling to this era, with many restrictions and much contraction. If people don’t change the dynamic and mature, Saturn may bring scarcity to the households, and separation from family members.  

Be the Captain of your own life.

Families should focus their efforts on providing a safe place for children (Also North Node in Cancer). Home may be a place where children thrive, where the confidence, comfort, joy, satisfaction and security will be provided by trusting the higher authority, who in turn ensures the family protection. There will be a tendency to look for enjoyments at home, having leisure and entertaining activities mainly within the walls of the house. All family members may participate together in the practice of sports, artistic expressions, education or going out to performing events. You decide who the maximum authority is. Part IV
