Because Venus and Chiron are in aspect, the Moon squares Venus at the same time it conjoins Chiron. This suggests being conscious of emotional neediness based on a sense of hurt.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>At its essence, Nessus is about stopping the cycle of abuse on any level where you might find it. It may end up being the saint of nonviolent communication. For now, think of Nessus as &#8220;the buck stops here.&#8221; Translated into terms that the Moon conjunct Nessus in Aquarius could relate to, you&#8217;re responsible for your own emotions, and for your contribution to group dynamics.<\/p>\n<p>The Moon ingresses Pisces just past midnight EDT, where it makes a conjunction to Neptune, a quincunx to Mars and then makes many other aspects through the day Saturday: it&#8217;s a busy day, with the Moon making an aspect to every planet, just about, but Saturn. So while typically the Pisces Moon would be mellow, laid back and tending toward sangria, today&#8217;s Pisces Moon has a more excited feeling, pumping lots of imagination.<\/p>\n<p>The Moon conjunct Neptune followed by Moon conjunct Chiron (exact Sunday) is a caution about believing something that&#8217;s not true &#8212; then getting hurt by it. The Moon is square Venus at the same time it&#8217;s conjunct Chiron. Moon square Venus is one of those those aspects that can emphasize the need for affection; if you&#8217;re feeling needy, find a constructive way to identify your actual need and get it met. It would be easier to chill out and have fun, and it&#8217;s possible.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of fun, this setup is a caution about letting go of whatever might happen under the influence of alcohol &#8212; remember that the rules of social behavior are different for &#8216;drinking&#8217; and &#8216;not drinking&#8217; states, and forgiveness of gaffes made in the &#8216;drinking&#8217; state is considered socially acceptable. (The way one anthropologist explained this, you cannot put the lamp shade on your head at your boss&#8217;s house, but if you&#8217;re drunk at his Christmas party, that&#8217;s considered a valid excuse.)<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not suggesting that alcohol actually be an excuse (though it&#8217;s often used as such), only that you be mindful of how it might be a factor (Moon-Neptune-Pisces), and what the usual rules are around it.<\/p>\n<p>In other news, I already mentioned the combination of Mars in Libra, simultaneously with Venus square Chiron, though it&#8217;s worth a fast recap. <\/p>\n<p>Mars has entered Libra, a placement that will stir the pot in relationships. The possibilities include the burning desire to get in or out of a relationship, to establish your independence within one, and\/or to see the extent your identity is invested in a partnership. It&#8217;s one thing to be invested; your identity is another matter. <\/p>\n<p>At the same time, on Saturday Venus forms a square to Chiron (in effect now). This is more about sex and less about relationships, though it does involve the ruler of Libra, which is Venus. So there does seem to be a tipping point involved: are you making a decision of some kind? Are you making a commitment to yourself? Are you admitting what you really want? If so, you&#8217;re right on time, though the astrology doesn&#8217;t add up to a fairy-tale &#8212; more like an adventure where the author doesn&#8217;t know the outcome of the story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Note: Yesterday I stated that Venus square Chiron is exact today; it is actually exact Saturday at 9:50 pm EDT, though an aspect like this is warming up and noticeable well in advance. &#8211;efc Today the Moon is in late Aquarius, making a conjunction to Nessus.
