squares vs. oppositions

So I’m thinking Sam has Jupiter conjunct Frodo’s Saturn.

Yeah right ?!  I want my own gardener, protector, carry me and the Devils ring up the mountain dude too. haha   Who doesn’t ?

My former husband’s Jupiter was conjunct my natal Saturn Rx exact – trust me it was awesome, very beneficial ~

Venus is conjunct Jupiter in Taurus – big giant earth trine above us, and I am thinking Hobbits. Hobbits are super – mega earth – they stick around when the going gets tough.  I get  Sam, all the hobbits, really – I am Cap rising, Saturn ruler, Moon in Toro, Virgo stellium.  I garden, hunt mushrooms, and I’ve tossed back a few pints in my day.

Sam is heroic in my book, as are the rest of the fellowship.

Each was dealing with personal conflicts (squares), dynamics within the fellowship + orcs  (oppositions), and they were power operating together (conjunctions).

I have the most trouble with my Scorpio Neptune squares to Venus conj Jupiter in Leo 8th.  My Neptune opposition to Moon is no picnic, but the squares were (are) my huge hurdle.

I go on a quite a bit about heroes here, and for the record- you can count me out as far as vacuous celebs and murderers are concerned – they have had the mic long enough !   Here you will find people I find worthy of emulating, people who inspire through overcoming huge personal obstacles.

 Some natal charts have only squares, some only oppositions – Georgia O’Keefee for example, only had oppositions – no squares.

Think of her life, it becomes obvious – she was her own woman, very self- assured, an art rebel.  She ditched the lucrative glad-handing NY arts scene for an adobe home in the middle of no + where ( it is – I’ve been there, and I love New Mexico, I mean no disrespect, I am a small town gal myself) to do her own thing.

So I am thinking she most admired those people who rescued others.

By the same reasoning, I am thinking those who have difficult squares in their own natal are most inspired by those who overcome personal obstacles.

What say you ?

Full Moon in Virgo on Thursday March 8th at 3:39 am, CST, USA.

It is a day of energies in tandem :

Mercury and Uranus in Aries
(fire- active thinking, communicating and intuition)

Full Moon and Mars Rx in Virgo
(Feelings coupled with an inward focus of personal will and desires)

Venus and Jupiter in Taurus
(earth- steady growth with $$, creativity and love)

Sun will be opposite (Full) Moon and Mars Rx in Virgo
(revelations in both the houses of Virgo and Pisces, questions will be answered regarding these houses that have been on the table since the last new moon)

Venus and Jupiter will be opposite Saturn Rx in Libra (positive co-operative change, finding balance in relationships, even if it is only something You decide for Yourself.)

Mercury and Uranus in Aries will be square Pluto in Capricorn
(Progressive ideas, changes taking place- action taken regarding long-term goals)

Venus will be sextile Neptune in Pisces
(possibility for grand creative plans manifested on earth – you have to activate them !)

Neptune in Pisces will be trine Saturn Rx in Libra. (build the dream you wish to create- be exact !)

Grand Earth Trine
On Wednesday, March 14th – all at 9 degrees – exact – 12:50 am, CST, USA.

Venus is coming to conjunct Jupiter in Taurus (benefics, both) they will be trine Pluto in Capricorn and Mars Rx in Virgo.

Grand Earth Trine energy is a harmonious, beneficial and co-operative expression of energy – the planets involved are moving energies in the same nature Earth it signifies a time for growth on the material plane.

Taurus rules finance and possessions, financial and self – worth.  Venus is love, money and creativity – it will be conjunct the planet of expansion and luck, Jupiter in the house of finance.  They are in trine to Pluto the transformation energy in Capricorn the sign of big business, career and ambitions.  They are also in trine to Moon and Mars, which puts an emotional kicker behind the Mars Rx in Virgo.

Mars Rx in Virgo energy – I have witnessed of late – is no doubt a more thoughtful, delayed Mars energy because it is in the house of the discerning eye, Virgo  perfectionism.  Instead of single-minded pursuit of one vision / one action, the Mars Rx energy I have experienced is sorted at the get go – meaning it is not full thrust in one direction, but compartmentalized prior; it feels like only so much energy is available, or allotted to each task.

Virgo is Mercury ruled, Mercury is the mind – channel it carefully as thoughts become tangible things, Mars Rx is the mind put to detail and the energy follows inward. It has expressed itself to me in fits and starts of productivity, multi-tasking and bouts of monkey mind – nip the negative and replace with positive – being flexible is key.  Virgos can be rigid, but the house of Virgo really needs to compromise with (opposite sign) and draw upon the classic Pisces surrender for this passage of Mars Rx and Mercury Rx.

Keep a firm grip on the positive and go with the flow.

Mercury Retrograde Monday, March 12 – 2:49 am, CST, USA.

Mercury going retrograde will bring it back to meet Uranus for a second time, it’s higher octave.  Gut feelings and intuition on a personal inward level will be high, revelations on the inner plane of self will be forthcoming and very enlightening.

Look to your house of Aries for more clues – Mercury and Uranus will be forming new solutions, creating brainstorms, and changing the way everything ~ eyesight and second sight ~ is SEEN.

Mercury rules maps, and Uranus intuition – follow your hunches.
Sun will be trine Moon – Venus conjunct Jupiter – what does your heart tell you ?

Mercury Retrograde in the house of Aries and Mars Retrograde in the house of Virgo brings the 2 planets into mutual reception, they will be working well together in tandem, in each others houses to find the best personal solutions to actions (Mars / Aries) and communications (Mercury / Virgo) on a personal (and global) level.

Mercury Rx / Aries is more thought out and less knee-jerk, yet still shooting sparks and taking action – Aries is the I AM – this and the house of Aries in your chart is where to look.  Mars Rx in Virgo is action compartmentalized and detailed tweaking on the mental plane.

When these two planets are in mutual reception they will be working together in your Aries and Virgo houses to streamline and re-evaluate mental and physical actions on the material plane.

Who am I, where am I going, how will I get there, and what can I do for you along the way..?

Be mindful of your thoughts, for when Mercury begins to slow and begin retrograde, its energies are in tandem with Uranus – both square Pluto the power of divine will.

Thoughts are set to manifest rapidly into the material plane.

I’m okay, you’re okay

and that there’s what it. is.
~H.I. McDunnough

Nice grand earth trine above us.
Pluto in Cap, Mars Rx in Virgo and Jupiter in Taurus.

Active transformation of work, could call it crisis. 
Feels like crisis.

Mars Rx is up Virgos nostril right proper, must admit I was expecting a bit more…
well…self-directed detailing, it has felt more like my brain is spinning wheels.
How are you doing ?

(I have Pluto square my 3rd Mars ruled Aries as well – so thinking has turned a bit obsessive.)  It has caused a vice grip on thinking aka. Keep. It. Together ! 
It occurs to me ~ a bit obsessive is like being a little bit pregnant, lol.

I have been browsing the chill. category above with regularity…and a new one at the end of this post, so turn the lights off and relax if you like, I’ll join you.

Jupiter in Taurus, ahh the self worth – we are working hard to maintain, yes ?
Figure out what exactly we need to achieve it ?
Earth trines build, and things are a bit haywire as the heavens force us to re-evaluate.

In other news, Mercury comes to meet its higher octave Uranus soon (Friday March 2, 5:41 am CST, USA) which is square Pluto, that will be a mind-boggler I’ll bet.  We will all be getting some whiz dinger communiques outta that one – Aries is fire and that aspect is greased lightning ~>
The universe cracks open and the head fills up…
Tip: carry a notebook – you’re gonna wanna write them down !

Mars Rx and Mercury will be in mutual reception, meaning in each others houses, they are co-operating.  Better than on the telephone to each other, they are more like in telepathic communication.  They get each other.

ie: Ever see the movie with Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz where Cameron (rich) lives in LA, Kate in (omg the cutest frugal cottage) in the UK.
The Holiday 
They are both burned out in relationships & career.  They connect on the net, then when they trade houses they slip into each others totally different lifestyles and find their new groove.  You learn a lot about a person by the contents of their house.

These two planets and houses are gonna be in tune.
Mars Rx in Virgo and Mercury in Aries.
Look to your natal and see where they land – take advantage !

Venus is coming up to Jupiter~ they are great friends that like to party and play nice but opposite stick in the mud work horse Saturn Rx ? Not gonna happen – obligations first.
Love $$ & women want to flirt and roam, but the brakes are on.

Meatloaf anyone ? 
I gotta know right now will you love me forever ~ !?
Or Dr. Phil, lol.  “How’s that workin’ for ya ?!”
Take your pick.

Sun in Pisces opposite Mars Rx in Virgo : dear goddess is chaos perfection or what ?!
Relax, everything is gonna be okay.
Okay ?
