Today at 10:48 pm EST, the Sun ingresses Sagittarius. The Sun’s palpable move into ‘cosmic’ fire sign Sagittarius may come as a genuine relief for many. No offense, Scorpios — this last month has been fertile for deep, regenerative, emotional processing. It’s just that not everyone is as well equipped for deep-sea free diving as you are.
That said, the Sun’s current square to Neptune in Pisces isn’t exactly the most straightforward aspect. Sun-Neptune squares can make it hard to discern your emotions (or what you’re really emotional about) clearly.
With the Sun in Sagittarius, consciousness tunes in more strongly to the spiritual/philosophical/religious big-picture angle of existence. That would be great, except squares prompt action, and Neptune (especially in Pisces) can make it hard to recognize what would actually be best to do.
Do you act on your lofty beliefs, or do you act according to how you feel? Are your passions about your beliefs in balance, or are you getting a little zealot-y about them — with a touch of denial regarding how well you’re walking your talk?
Enter another planet: asteroid Pallas in Virgo, making a mutable-sign T-square with the Sun and Neptune. The wide-open Sagittarius Sun square Pallas in the mental, detail-oriented sign Virgo asks whether the ‘big picture view’ (or your lofty philosophy) is at odds with (or more compelling than) the on-the-ground details.
