Psyche conjunct the North Node of the Moon – March 2021

Posted on March 6, 2021March 6, 2021 by Jennifer Fox

Once upon a time…there was an asteroid named Psyche and she was exactly conjunct the future destiny of the universe. Hold-up! That isn’t just a story, it is actually happening. Psyche and the North Node are about to exactly conjunct in Gemini, but they will be conjunct most of March 2021.

Psyche means “soul” in Greek and in astrology she represents not just our soul, but our perceived needs, particularly in the relationship department. When she is conjunct the North Node of the Moon it is time to take inventory of your soul’s journey and what — and maybe who — you need for the road ahead.

One of the things that I love about Psyche is that her mythology is the basis for several fairy tales: Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, and Cinderella. Even though Psyche struggles with experiences that are frightening and heart-breaking, they allow her to mature and undergo great personal transformation; leading to the discovery of her authentic self. The asteroid Psyche was discovered in on March 17, 1852, during Pisces Season. Is it any wonder that Pisces rules the 12^th House, and relates to the mind and the deep connection to the soul? I am sure Carl Jung’s reply would be, “Duh!”

The Nodes of the Moon are elliptical points, not actual celestial objects. The North Node represents our dharma (future destiny), and the South Node represents our karma (past/past life). They always travel retrograde, and they are always exactly opposite in a chart. You have your own nodes in your natal chart, but the nodes in the main chart, the collective chart, impacts all our lives.

Currently, the North Node in the main chart is in Gemini and the South Node is in Sagittarius. The Gemini/Sagittarius axis deals with gathering information/needing to find meaning in our lives. With Psyche conjunct our collective future destiny in Gemini (the sign of the Twins) it could be time to consider the duality of the world. Remember, there are two sides to every story, and then there’s the truth.

The Psyche/North Node conjunction goes on most of this month but will be exact on Saturday, March 6 at 15 degrees and 21 minutes of Gemini. If you plot Psyche in your chart (she is asteroid #16) you can find your true soul’s desire.

If you have anything between 13 – 17 degrees of any of the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) you could really feel this challenge to your perception or understanding of your future path and who you might be taking, or not taking, with you.
If you have anything between those same degrees in Libra, or especially Aquarius, you could experience this as a huge personal breakthrough. Right now, Jupiter is conjunct Mercury in the around that 17 – 18 degree mark of Aquarius so this could be hugely inspirational for everyone but especially folks with major aspect at those degrees.

As we experience soul growth our story continues to change and evolve. Studying your natal chart can help you understand how you have changed, and where you are evolving to. If you are over 35 years of age you might want to consider getting a progressed chart done; it can be quite enlightening since it tracks the evolution of your chart placements, which progress as you live your life. So, for example, a Capricorn could eventually become more like a Pisces as time goes on. I don’t know about you — but after climbing up all those mountains — taking a nice long swim could be the best happily-ever-after.

Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Posted on February 14, 2021February 14, 2021 by Jennifer Fox

I have done more astrological readings then I can count, and they all boil down to people wanting to know about two things: love and money. Venus happens to rule both of these two things; she is also the ruler of the 2^nd house (Taurus — the things that we love and value) and the 7^th house (Libra — the house of marriage and contractual relationships).

Love supposedly makes the world go round, but let’s face it – love can also make people a little crazy. People who don’t have it, want it…and people that have it often find that it doesn’t always bring the happiness and fulfillment that they imagined. The really crazy thing is that there is so much more to a person than just love and money. Don’t get me wrong — they are important pieces of the pie, but most people focus on these aspects alone and lose sight of the big picture. A good astrological reading can provide so much insight, and yet we still want/need these “things” above all others — particularly the love bit.

Where Venus is located in your chart is very important; you can get a free birth chart at Foxy Astrology so you can locate her. Just knowing where Venus lives in your chart can tell you a lot about what your wants and needs are. Often these will be expanded by Jupiter aspects, could be made long-term by Saturn aspects, or if the Sun is involved you could really be feeling yourself (and someone else too). Anytime you have Venus in a harmonious aspect with these guys it normally means things are happening in the fun, romance, or maybe even the serious commitment department.

Harmonious aspects are conjunctions (0 – 3˚), sextiles (60˚) or trines (120˚), but if you are looking for love then there a few areas of your chart that can clue you in on if you are putting your aspects to good use. I mean, why waste your time on Mr./Mrs. Right when you might only be in the market for Mr./Mrs. Right Now?

I Just Wanna Have Some Fun!

The 5^th house, where Leo resides (although your 5^th house is most likely in another sign), rules love, romance, play, and is all about the fun. If you have Venus, Jupiter or the Sun moving through this house or aspecting one of your planets in this house — bada bing, get ready for a fling. That doesn’t mean it won’t be more — but knowing the energy will help you just relax and enjoy without putting all your cards on the table.

Put A Ring On It

The 7^th house is where Libra resides in the main chart and is ruled by Venus. This house is often call “the House of Marriage” and it represents contractual, long-term relationships. If Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, the Sun or any combo of these celestial bodies are moving into the 7^th house in your chart, you might be hearing wedding bells… or at least signing a lease with someone. The year that I got married — more than 20 years ago — Saturn was moving into my 7^th house. I’m still married today… so, thanks Saturn!

Checked the Progressed

If you haven’t had your progressed chart done and you are looking for long-term love, it can be really helpful. The Moon represents our emotions and internal life. The progressed moon moving through your 7^th house can be great indication that a significant union could be in your future. If you are over 35, then getting a progressed reading can be very expansive for all areas of your life since you have evolved a bit since birth. If you are considering a long-term union getting a synastry reading (comparing two charts) is a very helpful. Learning about the strengths and weaknesses of your relationship with your Mr./Mrs. Right can help you take your relationship to a deeper level of understanding for both of you.

Crazy in Love

In the immortal words of Freddy Mercury, “I kinda like it, crazy little thing called love!” And why? Because love has spiritual and chemical dimension and nothing else can compare to that blissful release of dopamine and oxytocin — that intoxicating feeling of being completely alive.

Venus in Aquarius – February 1-25

Posted on January 23, 2021January 23, 2021 by Jennifer Fox

Are you ready to fall in love? Venus will be entering into Aquarius on February 1st and staying afloat there until the 25th. In Aquarius, Venus can let her hair down and sometimes will let her freak flag fly… which will most likely be the case since she will be squaring Uranus in Taurus for almost a week (Feb. 3 – 10). Do you know what house Aquarius rules in your chart? You can go to Foxy Astrology and get a free birth chart; look and see what house Aquarius is in and see how this free-lovin’ energy is going to impact you. Venus isn’t just about the way we love; she is also about the things that we value.

Co-ruled by Uranus and Saturn, Aquarius is a contradiction that makes sense in collaboration. In Aquarius we value not only the scientific hypothesis (Uranus), but also the proving of the theory (Saturn). Aquarius is Fixed Air, which also seems like a contradiction in terms. How do you stop the unstoppable? The unpredictable? Well, maybe it’s time for a bit of a shake-up in the love department and explore the possibilities as Venus gets her groove on.

There will be four other planets moving through Aquarius, and Venus will take a turn on the metaphorical dance floor with each one: Sun, Saturn, Jupiter, and Mercury Rx. This could lead to controlled chaos within your closest relationships, but also some much needed growth through exploration.

When Venus squares Uranus in Taurus, sudden changes to money and love could crop up. It’s imperative to be flexible and observant. How do you feel: fear, exhilaration, anger, elation? How can you best use this energy to breakthrough any stagnation and move forward?

We have been locked down for almost an entire year, so it is crucial that you get an opportunity to break free of this “Groundhog Day,” existence that we find ourselves living. We have had many opportunities to review our closest relationships during this unprecedented time; what have you learned? What do you love and value now that you have been “tested”?

Venus likes to do things differently while she is moving though Aquarius. You can use this energy to get back in touch with your best mates on a zoom call, join an online community that explores one of your secret desires, or start planning an “in-person” event for later this year. Venus in Aquarius is in love with life and limitless possibilities. We could all use a shot of that right about now!
