Was there something you wanted today? Be prepared to make adjustments.
Today features one of those rare and challenging configurations: the Yod. Mercury in Leo and Venus in Gemini are joined in a nice, sociable sextile. It’s fun and easy to grab other people’s attention and get what you want. At least, it would be if Mercury and Venus weren’t being blocked by a heavy inconjunct to Pluto in Capricorn.
Lighthearted flirting (Mercury and Venus) struggles under the shadow of bigger issues (Pluto). Choosing (Gemini) for yourself (Leo) won’t work because your foundations (Capricorn) are being transformed (Pluto). You simply need to make allowances for big picture stuff, authority or changes beyond your control.
The Yod will be exact at 8 degrees Gemini, Leo and Capricorn. If you have planets close to this degree in these signs, you’ll have to change your game plan for today.
Oh boy, my Sun is at 8 Leo. Thanks, as always, for giving such good advice. I’ve been dealing with the Pluto inconjunct for a while. It’s not that nothing works, but for each important thing I try, I hit pockets of resistance and difficult people who make me feel that it wasn’t worth the effort. Natally, I’ve got Pluto in Virgo in the 7th conjunct the South Node. Right now I’m waiting to hear back from bigwigs about my creative work and it makes me feel particularly powerless, and I feel like my challenge has been to remember that I’m not.
You’re welcome.
You described the inconjunct perfectly…”pockets of resistance”. Pluto conjunct your SN in the 7th House of partnerships (not just romantic partnerships) means that learning to balance your power with others will always be an issue.
Yes! That’s certainly been true for me and the theme is repeated in my chart in other ways.
What’s CRAZY about this is that when I read this this morning, I sort of brushed it off thinking that it wouldn’t affect me nearly has hard as some others. But as today went along, I realized that it was literally a working description of my feelings about a new connection with a guy I forged last night. No idea what his sign is because he refuses to tell me – The point here is that we were attracted to each other. And I decided to use my new understanding myself as a way to prevent myself from getting attached to him because I know that he technically isn’t good for me. I’m right brained, he’s left brained. Its as if I’m feeling around in the dark and I’ve realized that I might’ve stumbled into a hard edged air sign. Needless to say, I’m having to emotionally preen myself off of him.
I know what I have to do. Its just a matter of not letting the four planets of leo in me with my ceres libra in my 12th house delude me into projecting a fantasy onto him.
The title’s true for sure – You definitely CAN’T always have what you want.
Glad the post was accurate for you. Congrats on the new understanding of yourself…it’s not easy to achieve.
Hey Nadia. I really miss seeing that beautiful door! It was so Virgo!!
Hm. Your feedback is noted. I felt it was time for a change but I suppose if enough people express a preference for the door I can change it back. We’ll see how it goes…(my Moon conjunct Uranus likes to freshen things up now and then).
Of course do what you like it’s your site but the door for me has a lot of warmth and texture to it which isn’t often seen on internet sites. xx
WOW!! Love this site. I’m a Leo rising, Sun sign Aquarius moon in the 2nd w/Pluto, and Sun in the 7th. Big problem i’m married (Sun sign Pisces, rising sign Virgo) issues in the relationship for years seperated before and we got back together again (mistake). I met a girl virgo rising sign Virgo, Sun sign Leo we talk everyday (she has a boyfriend) she likes me she has told me before. I tell her that I will leave her side if she wants…she tells me no. We have gone out a couple of times nothing sexual not even kissed, but this has me going crazy. I really like this girl. I don’t know what to do I try to get away and I can’t. I just keep thinking of her. What can I do?
If you’d like to order a consultation, I can examine upcoming trends in your love life. But I can’t tell you what to do in this situation because it’s your choice. And I can’t tell you how this relationship will turn out without seeing both your charts.
