You are presented with a delicious problem: that of whether to hold on for dear life or to give of yourself entirely. Whether it’s a relationship, job, belief, physical space, emotional reaction … the important point is that there’s a choice involved and you get to make it.
See, love goddess Venus is about to dive into the sensitive rivers of Cancer on Tuesday. As she does so she makes a glorious connection to Neptune, that planet with whom Ms. Venus resonates so beautifully. It’s enough to fill you with the kind of devotion that gets you thinking of giving it all away—whether it’s your homemade cookies, your heart or your common sense. Is this an illusion or a divine call to give more?
Then there’s the complexity of a Last Quarter Square Moon in tenacious Taurus on Thursday that adds an urgent flavor of never wanting to let go. Be honest about what or whom you’re holding onto—and, more importantly, why. If you’re in the headspace of I don’t care for this anymore but I’ll be damned if I let anyone else have it (or him or her), you may want to think again.
And so, we circle back to Venus and Neptune’s propensity to give up the goods, holding it in contrast to this lunar phase of wanting to practically hoard everything. Thankfully, Mercury in heart-centered Leo finishes his retrograde phase on Wednesday. Focus your mind in the chambers of your heart, and you already know which is appropriate for you.
