Daily Astrology~September 17th, 2019: Rough Patches ~ September 17, 209

By Nadia Gilchrist

• Mercury in Libra inconjunct Uranus Rx in Taurus (6 deg)
• Venus in Libra opposite Chiron Rx in Aries (4 deg)

A difficult day for relationship harmony.

Venus in Libra loves to be loved and to have everything polished, pretty and graceful. This can mean bending over backwards to be accommodating, but the opposition to Chiron indicates that there will be socially uncomfortable moments, no matter what.

Efforts to be charming or diplomatic may fail, or end up inadvertently triggering a sore spot. Perhaps you’re hurt because someone is taking advantage or treating you unfairly. This is the time to be aware of what desires (regarding love, attention and values) you’re projecting. People don’t know what you want unless you tell them. If they can’t or won’t meet you halfway (after you’ve been open) this tells you something about them.

Adding to this, we have Mercury making a painful inconjunct to Uranus in Venus-ruled Taurus. Polite conversation will be difficult due to hard-to-pinpoint anxiety about saying the right thing. There’s a need to speak the truth/break away from what’s proper, but there can be doubts about how to do this effectively. Words may swing between the complete avoidance of anything controversial (candy-coated statements) to blunt, artless blurbs.

Expect touchy, painful moments and inappropriate words. Do your best to navigate by making allowances for rough patches.
