Gradually, the familiar golden ball slides behind a disc of silver. Birds fall silent, the air chills, for a moment the day is strange. Solar eclipse.A superseding, a complete annihilation.  Emotionally, in English anyway, the word eclipse contain…

Venus in Taurus – Power House Heart of the Masses

by  • 

The London Marathon 21st April 2013 in all its glory and a triumphant gesture of defiance and endurance.
Twitter #BBCMarathon. £50 million raised for charity in 2012.
After the sadness of the Boston Marathon. Lining up at the start of the London Marathon 2013 around 36,000 athletes and fundraisers fell silent paying their respects to everyone affected by the Boston Marathon bombs that killed three people and injured 180. coming over the finishing line the runners will put their hands over their hearts for Boston.  

After all that springing, thrusting and leaping around through the fresh green springtime pastures of Aries, cutting a fine figure and creating more than some disturbance. From the 16th April 2013 Venus in her element, glides and gracefully wriggles her way through the meadows and fields of Taurus the Bull. Can we now expect a little bit more peace and calm and find our quiet sanctuary where we may rest our weary heads and exhausted bodies? Have we now reach a plateau, a breathing space before we are tested again?

Mo Farah ‘the Mo-Bot’ has Venus in Taurus
The double Olympic champion caused controversy by pre-planning to drop out of the London Marathon 2013 just under half way but gaining all the publicity, advertising and financial gain under the pretext of learning.  
If you are tempted to answer yes to these questions be prepared to think again. Maybe some astrology has suggested that Taurus is the lethargic Bull or even the placid Cow who can tolerates so much and who preserves despite, and often against the odds. OK, think that this Taurean Time may get easy, sorry. Things are about to get FULL-ON!
David Weir ‘the WeirWolf’ has Venus in Taurus
He has won a total of 6 gold Medals at the Paralympics 4 in 2012 and has won the London Marathon 6 times.
For the past month when Venus the Goddess of Love zipped through Aries everything seem a lot more achievable. It seemed that if we wanted someone or something we just went for it. The problem answered by simple quick and direct action a done deal. Now with her stay in Taurus Venus will spend her time chewing and mulling over the consequences of those actions. Here Venus may appear to be staring and standing apparently stock still. She is taking in whatever, the smell of the grass, the feel of the air, all sensory information, the breeze and the smells. The Bull is actually one hell of a power house and the Bull is preparing to expend a great burst of its energy and when it goes for it, boy does it go! Charge! comes near to being descriptive. So do not mistake the barely perceptible action for inaction you may need to readjust your perceptions and your cosy positions and complacency.

Russian born Paralympian Athlete Tatyana McFadden has Venus in Taurus
Winner of both the Boston Marathon & the London Marathon 2013 Born with spina bifida, paralysed from the waist she was abandoned by her mother and put into an orphanage that could not afford even a wheelchair for her. She had to walk on her hands for the first six years of her life and was not expected to survive for very long.  The commissioner of disabilities for the US Health Department, Deborah McFadden, visited Russia, had a different plan she adopted Tatyana bringing her up as a single mother and changed the course of her life. 

Whilst here she will spend her time being naturally graceful, she is powerful and packs a powerful message behind the smooth seductive surface. Easily wanting to indulge in the fruits of the earth, Venus in Taurus leans towards the Epicurean. 

Michel Roux Jnr ‘The Marathon Chef’  has Venus in Taurus
He has run the London Marathon 17 times to raise money for VICTA charity for visually impaired kids.
Television’s Two Star Michelin Chef, inherited the Roux Brothers Dynasty and manages Le Gavroche, listed in the Guiness Book of World Records as having served the most expensive meal per head when three people spent $20,945 on one meal (including cigars, spirits, and six bottles of wine costing $19,248) in 1997.

Venus in Taurus has a somewhat ambivalent dialogue with money. On the one hand she smacks and licks her lips at the thought of spending of it and will have a million strategies for earning shed loads of it, the need to conserve it can also suddenly become overwhelming and imperative. Shops and restaurants are tailor made for the Venus in Taurus in the mood but so are banks and other financial institutions. Take your money seriously, develop plans to save it, spend it or just earn MORE of it. Venus in Taurus has money in mind even if this is seen as a revolt, counter force against it or a contentious force with it.

Martha Washington, wife of the 1st President of the USA, has Venus in Taurus
The only woman, apart from Lady’s Liberty & Justice to be depicted on a Dollar Bill.
‘Lady Washington’ came from a wealthy plantation family in Virginia, she brought huge wealth into her second marriage to the 1st President of the USA, George Washington, enabling him to buy huge amounts of land and have 100’s of slaves to add to his personal estate.

Basically Venus likes to indulge and so does Taurus. Feed the body in every way, anoint it, making it look good, smell good and feel so good aah! that is what Venus is about. 

There so many things that Venus can love. Beauty in all it’s many shapes and wondrous forms is a heartfelt expression of Venus. An abiding, intense appreciation of the finer things such as art, culture and social bonds. Relationships are always high on the Venus value list as are money and fairness. A run through all that our Venus may desire gives us a clue as to just how fundamental and central she is to our lives. Love and Money, how very Taurus. Venus Come Out Of Your Shell 

UK runner Derek Hawkins has Venus in Taurus
Only stepped up from track to Marathon in 2012
He ran it in just over 2 hours as he also ran the London Marathon 2013.

Venus has been explosive, impulsive and impatient during her time in Aries for the past month and has got us all kind of used to this way of being. Getting straight to the point, engaging respectfully, being pro-active and having high standards. How different is it going to be with Taurus the Bull running the ‘Love ‘n Money Show’? A word of advice, lean towards being convivial, civic and community minded. Also display and be proud of your worldly goods, develop your taste and indulge your desires. 

If you want to attract, be aware that during this time simplicity masks deep complexity, a simple message condensing a complex theory will be more effective, just as a homily sums up a tome, at the end of the day, for Taurus the simpler and more direct the better. No matter how difficult, tough or hard, for Taurus this can all be endured – if – it all makes sense, if there is a valid reason, if there is a tangible goal. 

BBC TV Presenter Sophie Raworth has Venus in Taurus
‘Its good for your body but more importantly for me its good for the soul..
I did it’ I finally managed my Sub 4 marathon finishing in 3 hours 56 minutes, I couldn’t stop smiling all the way down the Embankment and down the Mall to the finish line’ Sophie ran for the St John’s Ambulance after blacking out in last year’s race after the care she received was able to get up and finish.

Open up discussions on those difficult subjects you skirted around for the past month for fear of over stepping boundaries or being impolite, work out a plan or strategy that will be of practical and helpful use. If you mean well, trust yourself. Taurus bull’s muscles, when put to use, are powerful, graceful and a force to be reckoned with, and you too can exercise this visceral and potent power harnessed towards your goal.
We will all have a month where our relationships may get a bit more sensual and earthy. Very real and practical concerns can dominate our relating. We may get more in touch with our bodies, bending, flexing, feeding, draping, honing, preening and indulging them to squeeze the best out of them. Taurus is known for its stamina and can keep on going….and going….and going……

Stanley Biwott has Venus in Taurus
Winner of the Paris Marathon 2012 outpaced in the London Marathon 2013 by Tsegaye Kebede who was overlooked by Ethiopa for the 2012 Olympics but the winner in 2013 Mars in Aries – The Primal Punch. Biwott’s fellow Kenyan Priscah Jeptoo won both the women’s race in the Boston Marathon & the London Marathon 2013.

Before we get too carried away it may also be the case that we get much more blunt, materialistic and frustrated as we have to negotiate other beings who are equally desiring the things we have set our eyes on, also sometimes saying it strait from the hip just as it is can be unintentionally hurtful.

Key to understanding what is going on for us is to look at where in ourselves we are ‘Taurus-attuned’, we all have degrees in our birth chart which looks out for any Taurus vibration. Where is your personal Taurus antenna? It will be good to look at how smoothly do the matters connected to your Taurus house and/or planets run? Are they functioning as well as they could, or is there room for improvement?
If you have Taurus spanning the 5th zone of Romance & Creativity, you may find your ‘fun time’ gets a perk as what you do for the sheer love of it deepens and may go to another deeper level.
Your own Venus is in Taurus, a lovely time to welcome in new arrivals whether people or coins. This is your time to have the ‘Wow factor’ so work it.
If you are a Sun sign Taurus then – hey this stuff is easy right? Well yes, but to a point, even a money minded, food loving Taurean knows the value of living with less and learning that patience through the lean times is often the best policy. There is wisdom in knowing you can have too much of a good thing.
For this Venus in Taurus month we may have our pleasures laid out like a feast or laid bare like a famine but one way or other we will interact with some end of this polarity. Bursting through our clothes with expanded waistlines or ripped muscles we become hyper aware of our own and others bodies, and what they can and can’t do. How best to excite, sooth and honour the rippling graceful power of the Bull its endurance and heart

Well, here it is, an excerpt of a speech President Kennedy gave to the American Newspaper Publishers’ Association on April 27, 1961 at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel NYC in which he lays his dove-gray gloves on the table and sets himself against a certain entity which "–relies on covert means–" to affect their goals.

Venus in Aries – Love Action

Iconic Actress/Singer Marilyn Monroe has Venus in Aries
‘I am selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best’

After her confusing mystery tour through the ocean depths of oceanic Pisces, from the 22nd March, 2013 Venus jumped right out of the water and began to flash her flames around in the Cardinal Fire sign of Aries. She just loves burning and searing through the first sign of any trouble as she goes about her business her own way. All the while she wanted to create new patterns, new designs and new paradigms. 

Russian Indira Devi has Mars in Aries
An adventurous life began with a Swedish banker father and a mother from the Russian nobility, she began Drama school in Moscow escaping to Berlin during the russian Revolution. Her fascination with India began at 15, when she read a book by poet-philosopher Tagore and a yoga instruction book by Yogi Ramacharaka. she travelled to India adopting her stage name, ‘dev’ for ‘god’ to sound Hindu and began to act in Indian films. She also became the first foreign woman among dedicated yogis and began to work as a yoga teacher.

Everything appeared to be a lot more do-able, much more defined and probably a little more hopeful than can seem in less obvious Pisces. Aries Venus spends her time getting on with stuff, dealing with very important ‘busy-ness’ and attending to ‘what must be done’. There must always be something to be done because if not, she may literally get bored and that will literally spell trouble. Aries loves it literal. Venus in Aries will spend her time doing everything as perfectly as she can, getting things just right and making sure she and others is treated with the due amount of respect. Respect is a big word for Venus in Aries, dismiss or underplay it at your peril.

Theoretical Physicist who developed the Theory of Relativity, Albert Einstein has Mars in Aries
‘Everything is energy, thats all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is Physics.

Friendly and fun, Venus has been projecting an open, honest and direct image, charming whoever she ran into but now only until the 15th of April, 2013 when she gets really indulgent and obvious in the in earth lands of Taurus. Venus Come Out Of Your Shell Venus always loves to indulge. Venus just adores feeding the body, anointing it, making it look, smell and feeling good is basically what Venus is all about. Venus also loves beauty in all it’s forms, she has an inherent appreciation of the finer things such as art, culture and social bonds. Relationships, money and fairness are also high on Venus desires. A run through of her list of desires and to-do’s gives us a clue on just how fundamental and central she is to our lives. Love and Money – get those two things sorted and most people feel they have a good handle on life. You can deny one but it is unusual to deny both.

Actor/director/activist George Clooney has Venus in Aries
Ultimate Bachelor ‘Sexiest Man Alive’ Award (People Magazine)

Venus has been mysterious, elusive and bewitching during her time in Pisces for the past month and has got all of us kind of used to this way of being – saying but not saying, meaning but not meaning, doing but not doing, making sure we adopt a more sensitive, empathetic and compassionate attitude to those with whom we came into contact. How different has it been with Aries the warrior running the ‘Love ‘n Money Show’? More respectful, more mindful of our p’s and q’s? More direct clearer attitudes when relating to others, not taking liberties, not forgetting the details and overstepping our boundaries, how will we know if or when we overstep? Well, for a start, tolerance for falling short of these behaviors will be low, whether from others or within ourselves.

Performance Singer/Internet-Phenomena, Lady Gaga has Venus in Aries
‘Mother Monster’ back after hip surgery for injury sustained on her 98 date tour Born This Way Ball

If you want to attract a Venus in Aries, look like you want to get on with things and have a plan. Be prepared to take action. Be brave, stand up for yourself and those weaker than you, be active, show care for the creatures of this earth and you will be on the winning team. Acting in these ways will count, this kind of thing will matter, and we will have a low tolerance for sloppy uncaring or cruel behaviors. Venus in Aries loves a code, it loves a set of ethics and standards to live by and it loves nothing better than to be free to do what it wants when it wants. Make no bones about it this Venus goddess of love romance and desire is up for the fight just as much as the warrior god Mars. One big difference is that covered in Venusian charm and seduction this Aries may not at first glance seems as fierce. Hang on one minute, get them fired up and step out of the way as molten hot lava explodes in hot flumes throwing just about everything up into the atmosphere. 

Just let others do their own thing without interference be kind to everyone and all creatures, be respectful and we may just have got through without too much scorching and singing around the edges. Drink coffee too hot and we burn our tongue, overstep the mark and we get told in no uncertain terms what we did wrong, push the door over the threshold and we may get a glimpse of either a demon or an angel just depends on whether we have been naughty or nice.

Actress Jennifer Aniston has Venus in Aries
In a media ‘love-triangle battle’ hype with Angelina Jolie about ex-husband Brad Pitt since  2004
‘I have had like wind-burn from this year’ On turning 44 in 2013…. Yoga calms me down. It’s a therapy session, a workout and meditation all at the same time.’

Venus in Aries means that we can push and manipulate ourselves into odd shapes and uncomfortable poses, as we are well able to hold a posture or mental attitude for a long time. We are able to withstand and weather the storm just so that we can accomplish our goal. Woe betide you if you meet the fury or hit a wall of displeasure you could be faced with a dark blank stare from a Venus in Aries if you offend their sensibilities or clash against them in some way. Basically Venus in Aries wants to Do Right both for itself and for everyone else, they really do care and it really does matter to them that we all treat each other kindly and with respect. During this time then we should all attend to these matters if we want to increase our own store of love and money.

Independence, a very important and key word for everyone at Venus in Aries time, and one not to be taken lightly, it will be a delicate balance between affording the freedom and independence which is so craved against the equally strong need to be social and loving. More a case of ‘don’t hem them in’ but be there when they need you. If we are all wanting this very same thing then it is a tricky, delicate balancing act to pull off.

Ironman Actor Robert Downey Jnr has Venus in Aries 

Aries wants us to apply our attention to our actions, to press on and get moving. With Venus the goddess of Love here for a while it will urge us to get a project started, to actually do what we have been imagining or dreaming of whilst it was in Pisces. Now is the time to slap on our war paint, do our war dance and go after what we desire.

We will all have a month where our relationships may get a bit more feisty and fired-up. Expect passions to be stirred and sudden rushes of blood to the head as impulse control will be a bit on the loose side. Do not expect indecision or wavering with Venus in Aries as we strike to the heart of the matter and claim our prize.
It may also be the case that we have been getting much more irate and impatient. Our frustration levels could have soared at the slightest roadblock or the faintest sniff of a restraint over this period. There may be more than a few red faces around after doing something foolish as we may act first and think second with a swashbuckling attitude which masks a vulnerability quite close to the surface. The ideal of perfection is like a windmill we may all have been chasing in many ways throughout this period sometimes to the good and sometimes less so but always with a brave and bold intention.

Actress Icon Audrey Hepburn has Venus in Aries
‘I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe the happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles…Nothing is impossible the word itself says I’m possible…For beautiful eyes look for the good in others, for beautiful lips speak only words of kindness and for poise walk with the knowledge that you are never alone’

Key to understanding what is going on for us is to look at where in ourselves we are ‘Aries-attuned’, we all have degrees in our birth chart which looks out for any Aries clout, your personal Aries antenna. It will be good to look at just how smoothly the matters connected to your Aries house and/or planets have been running. Are they functioning as well as they could be or is there room for improvement?

If you have Aries spanning the 5th zone of Romance & Creativity, you may have found that your ‘fun time’ got a little perk as did what you do just for the sheer love of it. This may continue to deepen and go to another level.
If your own Venus is in Aries, a time to welcome in new arrivals in the shape of people or coins. This is your time for you to have the ‘Wow factor’ – work it!
If you are a Sun sign Aries then this stuff is easy, right? Well to a point, even an ambitious and keen Aries knows the value of down tools and switching off the whirring motors. Your hearts desire for spontaneity, independence and self-expression gets an extra boost, however. As Venus moves into Taurus, lets review how we shaped up.
For this Venus in Aries month we may have just had that spark that sets us off on our way to get what we want. The ignition of impetus to go out and get our quarry. we could just have got the impulse to just jump into situations unprepared. This readiness for the now, freshness, newness and ‘wonder-ess-ness’ may well take us into new ground and open up virgin territory as we charge into a new chapter with all the power, force and energy to startle and re-start our thirst for life. We all may feel just a little bit more refreshed and renewed in a place that we have ‘fought’ hard for….Mars in Aries – The Primal Punch
