Moon sextile Saturn retrograde and squares the North and South Nodes of the Moon. Sun trines a Saturn retrograde and squares both the North and South Nodes of the Moon. Mercury also squares Saturn and trines the North Node of the Moon in Leo. A clarion call, message, thought…that says: Now is the time for change. Perhaps working on a timeline that formalizes the process of you moving ahead. Critical thinking but avoid going down the negative thinking rabbit hole.

Venus in Gemini suggests it might be easier to pen or speak words of love than demonstrably express them. Venus in Gemini lends a flirtatious and slightly fickle vibe. But with Venus forming a quincunx to Mars an irresistible force can be set up where resistance to temptation is futile. As Oscar Wilde said: “I can resist everything except temptation”. (2)

Mars still conjuncts Pluto also retrograde in Capricorn. Powerful energy that could erupt in an unfortunate way like a simmering volcano…use it to make true change in the way you use power and the way you allow others to use power over you. Transformational change is the key. Jupiter retrograde sextile Pluto retrograde. This is an opportunity to get that final dirt that needs digging up…and throwing it out, once and for all! Transformational energy surrounds this aspect despite it being retrograde. Why? Because Jupiter is in Scorpio which is ruled by Pluto; with the sextile “opportunities” presenting themselves to transform more easily than with other configurations.

Saturn quincunx the North nodes of the Moon in Leo. Perfecting the new ‘structures’ we want in our life presents itself with some annoying distractions that need handling…or, maybe just ignoring them then they’ll resolve? That’s a thought.

Uranus is literally at its final degree of Aries, focusing all its intense change artist energy and releasing on some folks… changing their life and path forever. It hits this point when Uranus goes retrograde in November 2018 and for a final 3rd time in February 2019. This suggests an enlightening process where many shocks, surprises, unexpected events provide twists and turns before we look ahead and say: I’ve arrived. And don’t think you can ‘predict’ this outcome. Uranus does it his way and it is always unexpected, unusual and surprising.

Uranus hands the baton over to Chiron as it comes in at zero degrees of Aries. For those baby boomers that have Pluto at 29 degrees of Leo Uranus is throwing down the gauntlet by providing a situation to truly transform their life, enlightenment ensues for those that are receptive. Check to see where both 29 degrees of Aries is and 29 degrees of Leo (where your Pluto is), there are also folks in the early 1960s who have Uranus at 29 degrees of Leo wow, you will be zapped to truly bring enlightenment into your life.  Just take care with being too mentally active as Uranus will be providing electrical energy big time to your natal Uranus in Leo. For some, this could literally be a total transformation of their life, unexpectedly. For those born in 1977/78??? When Chiron was discovered and when Chiron was in Aries, these individuals experience their Chiron return.

Mercury trines the North Node of the Moon of destiny. Scorpio and Taurus individuals will feel this the most for sure but there is a lot of action happening in Aries squaring this Moon. They could go through some trying times with trying to get their ideas, thoughts and messages across. Water signs, Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces will receive a positive trine energy providing them with an easy way to also move forward. Jupiter retrograde in Scorpio supports the energy, but only at a distance. It is there though, shining its penetrating light on all things dark. Another Oscar Wilde quote comes to mind: “Be yourself everyone else is taken”.(2)

The Sabian Symbol for 10 degrees of Scorpio

“A fellowship supper reunites old comrades” 1 p. 197-98

Those who have shared something in common now celebrate that activity. Celebrating through sharing food together to show how united you were with a past group. It seems to reflect Chiron, an old friend from 1977 that now celebrates a full cycle of +50 years since discovery as it heads back in Aries, the same sign it was discovered in. An anniversary of sorts; a celebration for sure
