BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE
Oppositions in Astrology are like navigating the Scylla and Charybdis. You have to choose between two planetary energies knowing full well that the one you go with will somehow be unsatisfactory. This week’s Sun Virgo/Neptune Pisces opposition shows that selecting the Virgo path means turning away from the alluring waters of Neptune. This could manifest as choosing a paying job over an artistic enterprise or sticking with what you have and opting out of pursuing something enthralling and different. Siding with Neptune promises ecstasy – but with all of the agony that goes along with it. Your heart will soar and your soul transported but at what cost? Neptune experiences are all or nothing. They don’t allow for safe words or contingency plans. Choose Neptune and you will have to sacrifice something. Now obviously there are times when these planetary energies would dovetail, but not now. Not when they are this polarized. It’s either one or the other with nothing in between. The decision is yours.
