Scorpio Conjunction of Juno, Vesta, and Black Moon Lilith at the 2nd Decan of Scorpio

The Scorpio conjunction of Juno, Vesta, and Black Moon Lilith at the 2nd Decan of Scorpio can intensify the themes of nostalgia due to Scorpio's deep emotional nature and its association with transformation, intimacy, and the subconscious. This conjunction is complimentary to the current Leo Mercury retrograde, which is a review in our inner Child's expression. Mercury rules Gemini, where we are reviewing our ability to clarify our responsibility to convert all perceived dualities into wisdom or love. Through Mercury-ruled Virgo, we are also learning how to cast an eye of scrutiny at the self towards refinement and efficiency, as well as accountability with due process (6th house). Mars is transiting Virgo at the south node, clearing karmic space in our daily commitments, routines, health, and our production of character. Mars co-rules Scorpio, while Scorpio and Virgo are the mothering forces or algorithms of Vesta, which I will expound upon in this essay. Here’s how each element contributes to this connection:

Juno in Scorpio

Juno's placement in Scorpio can bring a focus on deep, transformative relationships. This may evoke memories of past partnerships that were intense or significant, leading to nostalgic feelings about what those connections meant and how they shaped our identity and emotional landscape. Juno is the impulse of monogamous commitment and focus to a soul mate, soul contract, and also commitments with the self and inner child. (Expand your mind; do not limit this value to romantic ideals!) With Juno at the 2nd Decan of Scorpio, the ruling planet of this cosmic location is the Sun, expressing Nostalgia (6 of Cups Tarot). The Sun in Scorpio expresses the depths of the soul and the limitations of the soul's experiences with power, control, and desired outcomes. It also expresses the depth of the soul's desire and need to feel deeply connected with those we trust.

With Juno in this position, it brings to our consciousness nostalgic memories of when and where we were deeply impacted by relationship experiences. This is about relationship experiences that were so impactful that they caused a confrontation with disillusionment and powerlessness in relationships. Keep in mind that desire is the color of Scorpio. This is not assumed to be limited to romantic outcomes but also in business, platonic relationships, and relationships with institutions, organizations, communities, and cultures as well.

Juno just stationed direct, which means that Juno is recommitted to accountability and moral commitment in its forward motion out of the wilderness of Scorpio shadow works. The accountability and moral commitment are complimentary to the nostalgic reflections of past relationship themes where we felt powerless or faced disillusionment that we struggled to accept when it came to desires fulfilled or unfulfilled with others or with the inner self.

The productive outcome is that this transit is going to transform the meanings of those past experiences with our desired connections and commitments, consistent with the new wisdom manifested from the Juno retrograde, renewed commitment to accountability and moral commitment, as well as clarity in what we desire to experience in relationships without avoiding the due process to manifest it. This due process could include changes in the behavior or mindset that creates or co-creates the desired outcome.

This destroys the impulse to blame or take vengeance against those who we perceived as the cause or reason for our relationship wishes unfulfilled. We instead turn inward to the accountability and moral commitment that was procured in the Juno retrograde transit shadow work that we just completed. This is a point of realization where we no longer attach to others through desired expectations, control, domination, possessiveness, and psychological warfare through emotional provocations. We honor the autonomy and sovereignty of others while practicing the skill of connecting instead of the skill of attaching and controlling. Nostalgia becomes the hindsight that awakens deep wisdom with how we now will approach our desired outcomes in relationship themes and commitments.

Vesta in Scorpio

Vesta's energy in Scorpio emphasizes devotion and commitment, particularly to deeper emotional truths. This can lead to nostalgia for times when one felt a strong sense of purpose or dedication, whether in relationships or personal passions. It may also highlight the longing for a return to deeper, more authentic connections.

Let me remind you that we are preparing for the 7-year transit of Uranus through Gemini. In this transit, we will learn to convert perceptions of duality (perceived contradictions in our reality) into singularity of WISDOM OR LOVE. Wisdom with matters of experiences and love with matters of relationships.

Focus! Love is NOT owned by romantic perversions. Rid your mind and imagination of romantic perversions. Romantic ideals are a death to the connection and receptivity to actual LOVE. I can't stress this point enough! Do NOT associate love with romance! Ever! That is contempt of court in the Jurisdiction of Love!

Now let me return to the point. Every hindsight experience is of the dominion of Scorpio. Every painful memory that we are attached to is a memory of duality. All dualities have to manifest into wisdom or love as a conclusion of your heart and mind's agreement on what truth really is. That is the work here!

Vesta could raise the nostalgia of past memories when you were devoted and committed to a person(s), institution, process, journey, or ideal and desire that ended in deep pain and trauma. This also can be reversed where you remember a victory in your devotion. This nostalgia via Vesta is to help us to raise our Vesta expression from missed opportunities in perceptions of duality (dogmatic, closed, stubborn mind) into realized wisdom and love.

This is when we now begin a story in our life where we accept truth instead of fighting and wrestling in futility with angels. This is when we devote ourselves to the full concept of circumstances with acceptance and serenity without the need to dominate, control, or attach. This is where nostalgia reminds us of what the most authentic devotion and commitment is for your soul.

That will always reflect the heart/soul urge expression, which is the numerological value of the day of the month that you were born on. That expression is what you devote yourself to every day of life, win or fail. We are now reconciling with the pains of these failures or disappointments.

We could be realizing through nostalgia that the experience is far more valuable than the outcome. We could realize that the expression of that value is far greater than the limitations of forms of that value. We could also be at a point where this commitment and devotion is now renewed. Vesta represents an eternal fire. It is a fire that burns away all distractions, derailments of vital sexual energy, and complacency.

It lights the fire of devotion unto fulfillment. As Vesta passes over the 2nd Decan of Scorpio, she is going to reconnect our commitment and devotion to the deepest desires of personal and intimate expression that we can muster. She is going to bring her fire to the heart center and core via Scorpio. This will cause a transformation of the instincts and focus towards a more authentic ideal that resonates deeply and not on the surface.

 Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio

Lilith's energy in Scorpio taps into the hidden, often repressed aspects of our psyche. This can bring forth memories that are not only nostalgic but also complex, involving themes of loss, betrayal, or transformation. The conjunction may encourage a reevaluation of past experiences, prompting a deeper understanding of how they influence current emotional patterns.

Black Moon Lilith at this location of the 2nd Decan, ruled by the Sun, is going to give us the fruits of shadow work that releases the heart (Sun) from fear, shame, guilt, rejection, and betrayal. Black Moon Lilith is where shadow work takes place in our psychology. Nostalgia can trigger heavy memories of psychological torment and regret or vulnerabilities.

Because Black Moon Lilith is at the 2nd Decan ruled by the Sun, it is going to be related to the psychological impact of being rejected or condemned for the very expressions of the heart (Sun/heart soul urge numerological expression). For example, if your heart soul urge number is #1, you could have psychological nostalgia about being rejected for your qualities and expressions of leadership, command, responsibility, authority, initiative, and traits of independence.

Black Moon Lilith meets these psychological vulnerabilities with bold rebellion and challenge to the opposing energies that test the authenticity and value of the soul's expression. This has its highlight during the Leo New Moon in opposition to Aquarius Pluto 2025 transit and cycle. We are being disillusioned about our expectations and entitlement concerning our expressions and communications.

We have to use Black Moon Lilith's bold expression to follow through with self-corrective actions that preserve our authenticity while also refining the character and mindset to serve others with less drama and regrets. It is about saving the world from our toxic self. It is about taking ownership of our disappointing outcomes. It is a self-examination instead of a campaign of blame and accusations.

Black Moon Lilith also helps us to brave the cold realities and conditions of solitude, isolation, rejection, and abandonment as an inevitable price to pay for being authentic. Most people are going to reject you or abandon you the moment you become real and true to your measures of "accountability and moral commitment." That is when you will find yourself rejected and all alone until you attract the few loyal and durable comrades who match your vibration and wisdom.
