\"Juno
Juno and Jupiter in a moment of reconciliation; ‘Jupiter et Juno’ by Annibale Carracci (1560-1609).<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n

For a little background, see the bottom couple sections of the Planet Waves members\u2019 issue<\/a> Eric wrote just before the Capricorn solstice of 2012. As with the solstice a few weeks ago, last year\u2019s solstice also had a special chart (one carrying the burden of end-times ideology loosely based on the Mayan calendar). Juno figured prominently in the 2012 Capricorn solstice, conjunct the Sun. <\/p>\n

In sussing out the astrology of that event, Eric investigated the discovery chart for Juno, finding that this asteroid has a close association with anger turned inward, difficulty expressing passionate emotions, family patterns or conditioning that \u2018have always been that way\u2019, and a tendency to want healing experiences to \u2018fix everything\u2019 — or to fix the \u2018other\u2019.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, less than two hours after Mars and Jupiter exact their square between relationship-oriented Libra and home-centered Cancer, Juno exactly conjoins Neptune in Pisces. So we can take this as one event, with one main message — that of dissolving some of the more rigid, unquestioned rules and expectations of marriage-style coupling, along with the toxic jealousy and emotional projection that tend to go along with all of it.<\/p>\n

This is Neptune we\u2019re talking about, however; it\u2019s possible there\u2019s an element of denial or illusion about whatever you think you want with a partner. As noted in yesterday\u2019s column, Mars square Jupiter can translate into not noticing how hard you\u2019re working against yourself. Neptune could make it harder to see how much time\/energy\/money you\u2019re wasting by missing the forest and focusing on that one knot in that one tree. So if you\u2019re caught up in jealousy (or other negativity\/insecurity), ask yourself if its cause is real — or just your (mis)perception of something.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yet Neptune in Pisces also offers the potential to discover creative solutions and an intuitive sense of the big picture in the partnership or marriage situation Juno represents. This is where Neptune\u2019s powers of dissolution can work in your favor, melting some of the black-and-white, \u2018my way or the highway\u2019 attitude that often gives Juno a bad rap.<\/p>\n

At its best, Mars-Jupiter is a motivated<\/em> transit — and it\u2019s connected to Juno-Neptune by virtue of Jupiter\u2019s shared rulership of Pisces (Neptune is Pisces\u2019 other ruler). The idea is to get clear on the motives behind what you want; if healing and wholeness are higher on the priority list than scorekeeping and possession, that\u2019s a good sign.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, tapping into the \u2018higher octave\u2019 of universal love Neptune represents might depend on how much you take to heart (and pay attention to) the messages offered by the Mercury-Venus conjunction today. So listen carefully.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
