Meanwhile, Mercury Rx, Venus Rx and Saturn all conspire to rendezvous near the Pisces North Node… and this time Neptune is NOT in the picture…
The next month forces us into a period of raw retrospection, shredding that nonsensical, superficial logic to pieces and laying bare the clever little delusions we’ve talked ourselves into; stripping back the sugar-coating and showing the damned compromises, the shameful ways we’ve demeaned and undercut ourselves, the wily bargaining we’ve done in love, sold our souls for aesthetics, pimped our arse out for all it was worth. Saturn, brutally direct and unflinchingly cynical near the anaretic, acts as the unmovable pillar of all-seeing truth: enough with the bluffing—there are literally no more bargaining chips left.
Ouch, yeah… ’cause the old bullshit scripts won’t cut it, here, at the edge of the tired old ‘reality’. Nobody’s buying. We’re gonna be confronted by a whole new level of perspicacious transparency, reconstructing our world from the rubble of internal conflict, emotional ambiguity, and the slow, grinding demand to grow the fuck up. Integration requires dropping the masks.
What’s about to go down here is the wholesale pulling of psychic functions away from the props of external validation. Retrograde Mercury stationing near the Node shows that information and perception are being re-routed, digging up old assumptions and bullshit communication habits. Venus retrograde stationing on the Node is by no means a “romantic review”—it’s coming to terms with outdated values that no longer support evolution. While the North Node in Pisces speaks of surrender, it’s not the kind that lets us flounder. It’s the dissolution of false mastery. Saturn won’t let you weasel past the hard edge of personal responsibility.
Together, these forces create a triangulation of reckoning: a kind of “judgement day” that lasts two or three weeks, where your clever mouth can’t talk you out (Mercury), your cute arse-wiggling charm can’t sway you through (Venus), and you can’t delay the lesson (Saturn). Strangely, it’s dragging us inward—towards the quiet place where wisdom isn’t granted, but forged internally.
