The 66th British Academy Film & Television Arts, the BAFTAS, 10th February, 2013 The BAFTA mask was designed by sculptor Mitizi Cunliffe who is Venus in Aquarius

After her deliberate and cautious trek across the mountainous earthy terrain of Capricorn, from the 3rd February 2013 with a yawn, Venus moved into the light and fluffy clouds of the Air sign Aquarius. All the while she will be alert for new sources of stimulation and enchantment wanting to spend her time socialising and disarming. She will project her open, tolerant, unconventional, friendly image and impress whoever she meets and greets until the 26th of February, 2013 when she gets much more mysterious and emotional in watery Pisces.

Skyfall has 8 BAFTA nominations, its James Bond Actor Daniel Craig is Venus in Aquarius

Venus always loves to indulge, feeding the body, anointing it, making it look, smell and feel really lovely. Venus cannot help herself because that is what she is all about Venus Come Out Of Your Shell. There are other things she loves, such as beauty in all it’s forms, an appreciation of the finer things in life like the arts, culture and social bonds.

If you want to attract, look like you want to join in and be one of the gang but also be prepared to be different because Aquarius simply loves the bizarre. It is impressed by concepts and ideals and loves a grand vision but most importantly it wants fairness. For Venus in Aquarius being true to your inner light and holding on tightly to what you believe is the right thing is paramount. No matter if you alienate or aggravate those who disagree just as long as you have a few close friends of like-minded people and you are being true to yourself then its all cool. Oh and also be prepared to join in the party, have a party, fancy dress, don a mask and ride along with the carnival.

Rio de Janeiro Carnival Parade 9th/12th February, 2013

Aquarius wants us to apply our attention to our principles and to what we believe. With Venus the goddess of Love here for a while she will urge us to sample the delights of universal vision, of giving our attention to the many and of following our inner star, no matter how distant or faint. She will want us to wake up to what both separates and adheres us as human beings living together on the same planet. She will want to explore the new and fantastic ‘out there’ possibilities that may literally be ‘out there’. We have new worlds both inner and outer to explore or put under the microscope, view through a telescope and observe with fascination. Stop all that past Capricorn earnest devotion to ‘the real’ the real point is lets have fun with exploring the unknown.

Venice Carnevale February 2013 ‘The subversive nature of the festival is reflected in the many laws created over the centuries attempting to restrict celebrations and often banning the wearing of masks.’ Street performers, acrobats, masquerades and amazing costumes, acrobats have continued to subvert since the 13th century.

We will all have a month where our relationships may get a bit more ‘off the wall’ but happily, pleasantly, tolerant. It will become that much more important to relate with an openness and an acceptance of difference. To allow the ‘odd’ to live with the ‘normal’, to include and respect all manifestations of life no matter how weird or out of the ordinary they may initially appear, anyway lets be extra-ordinary.

BAFTA for Amour Filmmaker/Screenwriter Michael Haneke is Venus in Aquarius

Before we get too carried away with the openness and acceptance it may also be the case that we can also get much more awkward, opinionated, and willful with Aquarius, it is a fixed sign after all. It could be that we get so convinced we miss the mark altogether and bypass what was or is really important or intrinsic to the situation. Or we can get so caught up in idealisations and abstractions that the realities may get overlooked.

If you have Aquarius spanning the 5th house zone of Romance & Creativity, you may find your ‘fun time’ gets a perk and what you do for the sheer love of it deepens and may go on to another level. 

As for a Sun sign Aquarius, well hey this individual, unusual stuff is easy but to a point because even a ‘lets all do our own thing’ Aquarian needs some fluffy-cuddly, caring, sharing time. Your hearts desire for there to be room for each and everyone in this world does get an extra boost this month. There just may be such a place for you and this is just the time to find it, go on have a look.

2013 BAFTA nominated for Argo Actor Alan Arkin is Venus in Aquarius

Carnival time is when we can merge with the crowd while still wearing a mask or costume to perhaps to protect a full, true exposure of the self sometimes. During this Venus in Aquarius month we all may feel that much safer hiding in a crowd or we may feel that much stronger being part of one. Whatever we choose to do we will want everyone to feel supported in their independence. We all want to feel special within the mass, we are part of the collective but unique in our true expression.
