Venus enters Aquarius on December 20th at 1:41 AM EST. Matters pertaining to relationships, money, values and self-esteem will be filtered through this detached Air sign. That means a fresh approach to all Venus matters, as some detachment is necessary in order to break away from what’s outdated. This is the sign of liberation and updates (the future) so expect some odd but refreshing manifestations. This is also the sign of friendship (as opposed to partnerships) so relationships in general will have more room to maneuver.
Venus in Aquarius is about the beauty of what’s eccentric – the detachment of the outsider may be forced or voluntary, but this is the transit that allows you to explore what’s appealing about differences. Break with tradition and experiment, while considering what impact your role in society has on your self-esteem. Even if you refuse to run with the crowd and steadfastly maintain an anti “whatever” stance, this still describes your relationship to the collective (your role as a rebel, disgruntled hermit or sparkling alien – all manifestations of Venus in Aquarius).
Independence is valued as are friendly social connections – keep it light and non-judgemental. The only thing that is really committed to is your own path or a meaningful friendship; Venus in Aquarius can and does commit, but only on her terms.
Venus will exit Aquarius for Pisces on January 13th.
Here are the aspects Venus will make:

The 20th is a Good Day To . . . stick with what’s solid and real, no matter how you …
Mercury in Sagittarius square Neptune in Pisces (16 deg)
Mars in Scorpio sextile Saturn in Capricorn (19 deg)
Mercury square Neptune is a crisis between the story/sales pitch versus the illusion or belief. Neptune blurs the facts and creates disbelief, so the story is exaggerated and suspect. This aspect can be about outright lies or seeing something that is not real (the illusion).
If you find yourself questioning a “truth,” keep asking – the initial words have been distorted. If what you see looks grand and expansive, treat it as a nice picture but don’t rely on it.
Fortunately, Mars/Saturn adds a bit of reality to help with the above. Intensive, authentic actions (Mars) will be grounded and focused by the rules. Slow, determined effort can take you in the right direction, even if you’re questioning what direction that is. It will be better to rely on actions than intellect- stick with what you can physically take stock of rather than unproven words. Silent, purposeful work will take you further than pretty declarations.
Mars in Scorpio is deep motivation – tapping into the unconscious and making it visible. Saturn makes it real while restraining all-or-nothing impulses. This is sober, serious energy that asks you to push things just a bit further while applying discipline and total commitment.
Note the contrast in the energies – Mercury/Neptune is external and expansive while Mars in Scorpio contracts and is internal. Actions penetrate through the levels until you hit hidden reservoirs of strength/resources/authenticity. Mercury/Neptune may be distracting, but Mars will show you the truth. Rely on your physical senses, no matter what you hear or see.
Recently I’ve had a streak of clients with the Moon in Leo, and there seem to be a lot of misconceptions about that placement. It’s Leo! Leo is shiny and bright, so these natives must be walking rays of sunshine, … Read More…
