On attachment, a chart for the Venus-Scorpio ingress.
When Venus entered Scorpio, it was the last of the planets from Sun to Jupiter, including Moon, to enter Scorpio. For a short while after this chart, until the moon moved into Sag, we had everything (major) inside Saturn's orbit in Scorpio... What a way to kick it off!
It also marked the time when the Sun/Venus/Mars pairing all met up at the same degree. The trio has been slowly converging for over a month now! See earlier post

This timing forms two triple-conjunctions, both in Scorpio. The other one is Moon/Mercury/Jupiter. Remember that the Moon represents cardinal water energy, and is also the only water object in the fixed water (Scorpio) grouping. It is a highly powerful object in this chart. Mercury and Jupiter represent the 3/9th house polarity and Gem/Sag polarity, the higher and lower mind. Intellect and philosophy describe this axis well. The Moon is energizing our minds, helping us use our ability to think and reason to delve into the strong Scorpio energy present, while ensuring we don't forget about compassion and nurturing others. True to the nature of Scorpio, the mind is connected to the deeper, inner regions of the soul. The water energy is running very strong, now is a great time to tap into your more sensitive compassionate self, especially if you've been running on the nail's edge for too long now.
Three big aspects in the stellium "kickoff" chart:
a) Pluto, ruler of Scorpio, in near exact T-square to the True Lunar Nodes. A highly powerful placement that shows a karmic need to resolve Pluto/Scorpio issues, and also an indication our dealings with other people might take on a highly plutonic nature, as if all this stuff in Scorpio doesn't already say that! Be careful of power struggles and illogical control desires, and watch out for any of your psychological "quirks" that might show up, demanding that they be considered and hopefully resolved.
b) The Jupiter/Saturn square. On a personal level, this largely relates to the need of balancing optimism vs cold hard reality. The time we spend going through this burst of Scorpio energy can help us dig into the areas we are overly optimistic or pessimistic about, and help us find the balance between these opposing concepts. Of course, the Jupiter/Saturn cycle has other factors, but on a personal psychological level, it is the basis of the cycle. This cycle is actually lit up by the Sun in this chart, using the 16th harmonic aspects we see that the Sun makes a very close 22.5 to Jupiter and 67.5 to Saturn, and in a 16th Harmonic chart, Jupiter/Saturn are conjunct (because they are square) by 3 degrees. In the 16th harmonic chart, the sun sits at their midpoint. In the 4th harmonic chart, the Sun squares their Conjunction.
c) Saturn/Pluto Trine - Pluto is the obvious focus of the chart, as it rules Scorpio. The Saturn/Pluto cycle is well known as a real bear, but we are dealing with a trine, possibly one of the most friendly aspects in astrology. The positive side of Saturn/Pluto indicates the successful implementation of hard work and the ability to crystalize the changes we've been trying to make deep down in our psyche and soul. It surely seems positive to have the planet of crystallization and implementation in trine with Scorpio's ruler as we enter the stellium, especially since the chart has no earth placements, but Saturn represents cardinal earth. It says even without the earth grounding, Pluto/Scorpio's work through this period may not just float away.
Things should really kick into high inward-focused gear around the 28-29th. Not only does Mercury go Retrograde to ensure our thoughts are focused inward, deep into the depths of our soul in Scorpio, but does so opposed to uranian object Admetos (introspection, self-discipline, restraint, strongly associated with Saturn), Sextile/Trine the Lunar Nodes, and trine to uranian object Vulkanus (pure energy, unstopable and overpowering, strongly associated with Uranus). When the Moon opposes Vulkanus from the 25th degree of Capricorn, it completes a close-orbed grand sextile around the 25th degree of Water/Earth signs. Since Saturn/Pluto are at the 24th/25th degree, they configure with the pattern as well. I don't use the Uranians often, but when they configure to form strong patterns, I tend to pay attention. The other thing to consider is the 3/14/2006 eclipse @ the 25th degree of Virgo/Pisces, which is where the nodal axis is, and as such it is stimulated by the pattern.
Overall, lots of personal transformations coming up, and I'd guess some Scorpio-style crazyness for the November elections here in the USA. Mercury RX in Scorpio could spell troubles with voting machines leading to a massive power struggle! Should be amusing to watch, atleast... I always enjoy a good mockery amongst the silly political folk... <giggle>
