The bookend planets - as in Venus and Mars who bracket Earth like bookends - uniquely combine with the written word as penned by Mercury. Then, as Venus traipses through home turf by virtue of her rulership over Libra, she manages to engage several dwarf planets to make things especially interesting and potentially clearing of life debris.
Tomorrow, Venus in Libra opposes Ceres in Aries retrograde where the two goddesses then form a grand square with the Ixion in Capricorn and Asbolus in Cancer opposition. Reports the Ixion to Asbolus aspect, “If you want that second chance you’ve been touting, make sure you’re tuned in the moment without raging, issuing threats you cannot uphold, calling bluffs or boasting about theorhetical accomplishments.” Bear in mind, the oppositions square each other and given the formidability of Ceres and the traditional planet nature of Venus, it appears their opposition more potently controls immediate outcomes. Here, Venus who actually likes to argue, combines sensibilities about things that truly fulfills a person’s needs, reaches to Ceres for her advocacy support and away they go. If a person flatly denies a need request, this pattern appeals for reconsideration in the spirit of second chances. Here’s where Asbolus offers his greatest attribute: read the damn room, sense the moment and feel when the energy shifts. A person changes their mind before they communicate such a shift to others. Note when the energy yields, and in that moment, cease any laments, complaints, reissues of previously stated considerations and turn from output mode in communication to gracious receptivity. When you get what you asked to receive, graciously acknowledge those involved in your life grant. Then, give your thanks to the planetary powers in play. Gratitude and thanks go a long way in establishing unending celestial support.
On the 19th, Mercury and Mars align in Scorpio matching those things they claim to have mastered. This could be an overly articulated, bombastic time. More to the soul-based point, this transit requires the impeccable declaration of what truly constitutes ones passion project in life. Not everything pursued should hold the same threshold of emotional significance, and if multiple agendas are declared with parallel passion, others may question ones ability to focus and prioritize. This transit requires the one articulate necessary life statements and then doing everything one said they would do to produce the results one seeks. If action does not back up claims, then a person appears to be all talk. If you need to rest up, you still have a day or two to restore your psychic batteries before the surge.
Coming up in rapid succession, Venus in Libra engages two dwarf planets. On 21 October Venus opposes Salacia in Aries, then on 22 October she directly matches Makemake’s position on the ecliptic.
The application of Venus’ opposition to Salacia will depend upon ones view of Salacia. The myth states that Salacia, who became the mate of Neptune, was in awe of his ways and in consideration of her chasteness, she slipped away. Neptune then deployed sonar searching dolphins to locate Salacia and bring her back to his realm so the relationship could be consummated. There are modern interpretations that Neptune’s dolphin tactic constituted an overly aggressive pursuit and capture of Salacia. The current point of these opposing forces is: Assess your current conditions for alignment with stated conditions and your willingness to remain engaged under the current circumstances. Equalize your intended involvement with any imposed expectations. Get clear on what is appropriate to your spirit and interact only in ways that support your desires, wishes and needs. There must be a psychic perception of free will and consciously chosen involvement. Adjust and get what you want, applying the full force of Mercury and Mars in Scorpio if you must, but get right with all life demands and sort out any impositions that do not suit your fancy.
While relational shifts transpire, Venus and Makemake conduct a reality check on your life belief systems. Can you transact life given what you claim to believe? Do any of your religious or philosophical beliefs require adjustment? Are your daily drill ceremonies and propitiations working for you? Do you enact religious protocols because you were told to do so, or because they produce definable results and fill your heart and soul with galactic benevolence? This is a reality check. If absurdity can be located in belief systems, promptly delete those practices immediately replacing them with what actually produces viable results.
Come 24 October the Sun conjoins Haumea in early Scorpio. Aspects to Haumea’s current position are close enough to be considered a square to Pluto in Aquarius... at least for engineering and government work to achieve nominal results. Nominal stands one ladder rung below optimal, which only needs to look up a couple of rungs to locate ideal.
The point of shedding solar light on Haumea is to engage creativity without timidity, apology or reluctance of any description. The square to Pluto manifests in the absolute empowerment that occurs when one fulfills ones creative passions in life. A person heals. A person evolves. A person engages life as if there is no tomorrow with the realization that ones creative output is nothing short of magical. This transit is polished off when Venus conjoins Haumea on 8 November and unleashes the full potency of the creative process engaged during the next week or so.
