When the planet of love, beauty, creativity, and our resources is in Aries, an adventure is at hand! The energy is invigorating, adventurous, pioneering, and even a little bit competitive.
Venus loves being in Pisces where she can more fully express her true nature. Let's explore what this means in natal charts and when Venus is transiting Pisces.
The Moon’s Nodes will be shifting gears as they move out of Sagittarius/Gemini and into Scorpio/Taurus. Because the North Node and the South Node are related to the Moon, their effect on us is related to our moods, instincts, and our general internal worlds.
This New Moon begins the Lunation of the Lessons of Truth. The Gemini/Sagittarius axis is the Axis of Truth in Navigational Astrology and encompasses all things on that spectrum from the truth being slippery to the truth being a righteous crusade to the truth being the ultimate TRUTH of truths.
When the Sun and Pluto are in the challenging aspect of a square, it is difficult to ignore, and like everything in life, how we experience this energy depends so much on how willing we are to surrender to what Pluto is asking of us.
As astrologers now know, this is all in perfect design with what Uranus brings and teaches. He is the Great Awakener, the sacred rebel, and transcends any and all social programming, and we must open our minds in order to greet him properly.
When we face our shadows, that means the sun “has our back” and is supporting us even though we can’t see that… we have to zoom out in order to see the full picture of that support. It is OUR shadow that we’re seeing. What do we know about shadows? They generally are distorted, not realistic, can fool us (shadow puppets), usually look scarier than they are.
Natal Venus in Virgo folks are usually pretty skilled at the care and feeding of a partner, both literally and metaphorically. If they trust that you are committed to growth in the relationship, they can be utterly devoted and will express their love through thoughtful acts of service and by actually making your life a whole lot better.
The Pluto square Pluto transit is one of these initiations-in-common that can serve up some of the most drastic life changes between the ages of 36-61. It’s a wide age range, yes, but most will experience this transit in their middle to late 30s or early 40s.
Bottom line, we are confronted with any taboos we have tried to sweep under the rug. Something in the intimate spaces in our heart has reached critical mass and must see the light of day. Our defenses crumble. Any attempts to hold them at bay are no longer successful.
