Sympathy for the Devil
In the sky right now are fast moving Venus in Libra and Mercury in Scorpio. Bound up in the dance of everyday relations this two are forming the minor aspect called the semi-sextile.
As aspects go, the semi-sextile is pretty well ignored by astrologers unless it makes a significant connection in chart. Here Venus is squaring today’s Moon in Capricorn and Mars is sextile the same. What does this mean? Venus in Libra is concerned with maintaining harmony in relationships. Mercury in Scorpio communicates in underhanded and back alley fashion, allowing distortions of the truth to serve its purposes. The Moon in Capricorn is calling for pragmatism and reliability, not Libra’s strong suit. Mercury tells the Moon what it wants to hear, not intending to honor the agreements. Venus is silently agreeing with Mercury, annoyed because it cannot get the Moon to agree with it. In other words, Venus sympathizes with the devil today.
As an aside: any child born today with this aspect pattern will have this as their communications style. Parents will have to exercise great patience in teaching their child to communicate honestly and directly.
Meanwhile, Uranus in Pisces, opposite Saturn in Virgo, calls for rebellion against the repressive Saturn in Virgo regime of sanity, sanitation, and practicality. No guilt trips please. We’d rather have a God trip or a least escape from reality. No wonder movies are doing so well at the box office right now. Who cares if the ticket is ten dollars and the soda and popcorn another ten? It is cheap comfort from the sad realities surrounding us now at least for a few hours.
