Though first, Vesta conjunct Jupiter is radiating out of the chart, rising in the East as I write. This aspect brings together the devotion aspect (Vesta) with the knowledge aspect (Jupiter) in a sign devoted (in its highest expression) to communication. Yet it can often be a subtle language (such as one spoken only between a pair of twins, or ideoglossia). The language of erotic wisdom is indeed spoken among a few people at a time, and often, just two. And it is in truth a form of devotional practice. Talking about sex sincerely is a form of sexual contact.
This might include some expressions of Mars — the planet of desire — and Saturn — the one of containment. After a long retrograde in Virgo and a slow trek through Libra, Mars will be making a conjunction to Saturn this week.
That happens Wednesday at 6:15 am EDT, though the sensation of the aspect has been brewing for weeks and will come into focus as the next three days progress. Often to be expressed, desire needs to be focused, and supported by a structure at least as firm as an idea, or common frame of reference. That might include anything from being in the same room at the same time, to mutual phantasy.
[Note, I’ve covered this week’s aspects (described in this article) for the individual Sun and rising signs in my horoscope that published Friday, as well as the August monthly horoscopes that we published several weeks ago. Those help personalize the information.]
A conjunction of Mars and Saturn in Libra means both planets are in the same sign and same degree (or close). The chart I’m reading is the chart for the exact alignment. Saturn is strong in Libra; Mars is tempered. There is an image of expressing desire gently, respectfully and with a mind for context.
