Mercury Direct in Scorpio and Venus Direct in Venus (#385)

This week we’re working with six transits, and Friday the 13th is the hinge: Mercury stations direct in Scorpio and Venus stations direct in Libra on the same day, something we couldn’t find anywhere else in the ephemeris. Around them, Jupiter in Leo opposes the North Node in Aquarius at 25°, Mars follows at the same degree, and then Mars meets Jupiter in Leo, also at 25°. The question underneath all of it is what the heart has been holding during these retrogrades, and whether we’re willing to release the drama long enough to look at the facts. What’s at 25° in your astrological code?

(05:07) Venus Retrograde in Libra Sextile Mars in Leo 23° (Aquarius) – November 7 – 12 (Saturday – Thursday) – Monday, November 9.

May 18 – Venus in Cancer Sextile Mars in Taurus 00° (Double Both Signs)
November 9 – Venus Retrograde in Libra Sextile Mars in Leo 23° (Aquarius)
December 12 – Venus in Scorpio Sextile Mars in Virgo 05° (Leo)

(16:21) Jupiter in Leo Opposite the North Node Retrograde in Aquarius 25° (Aries) – November 5 – 19 (Thursday – Thursday) – Wednesday, November 11.

In the last 200-years Jupiter in Leo has only opposed the North Node Retrograde in Aquarius three times:

July 9, 1860 – Jupiter in Leo Opposite the North Node in Aquarius 2°
September 1, 1896 – Jupiter in Leo Opposite the North Node in Aquarius 24°
September 18, 1990 – Jupiter in Leo Opposite the North Node Retrograde in Aquarius 6°

This occurs three times within the next year. This is the first:

November 11, 2026 – Jupiter in Leo Opposite the North Node Retrograde in Aquarius 25°
February 22, 2027 – Jupiter Retrograde in Leo Opposite the North Node Retrograde in Aquarius 20°
April 23, 2027 – Jupiter in Leo Opposite the North Node Retrograde in Aquarius 17°

The last time this occurred three times within the span of a year was between 1729-30:

November 17, 1729 – Jupiter in Leo Opposite the North Node Retrograde in Aquarius 08°
January 9, 1730 – Jupiter Retrograde in Leo Opposite the North Node in Aquarius 05°
April 28, 1730 – Jupiter in Leo Opposite the North Node Retrograde in Aquarius 00°
