Venus Enters Capricorn: Authority is Beautiful

Venus enters Capricorn on November 25th, 7:28 PM EST. Relationships, finances, values and self-esteem take on a structured and traditional focus. What you want and love may be dominated by issues of status and concrete success. Capricorn is all business and you can attract good things if you focus exclusively on what you want while being realistic. And, you can attract benefits if you play by the rules.

However, the shadow side of Venus in Capricorn involves the denial of authentic relationships/values In favour of rigid and outdated traditions. Part of being an adult (a Capricorn signature) Is knowing when it works for you and when you’ve outgrown it. And if you don’t know? Maybe you don’t even really know what you want or what defines your self- worth: this transit can clarify things as you encounter hard limits and responsibilities.

Standards are elevated and success is the driver. Authority is beautiful. But you have to work for what you want. Romance, dreams and vague boundaries will not cut it. Are you ready to commit to someone or to your own defined values? This transit can separate the adults from the children when it comes to love, self- esteem or money: you will attract what you’re ready to commit to and you will experience blockages around what you’re not serious or realistic about.

Here are the aspects Venus in Capricorn will make. Venus exits Capricorn for Aquarius on December 20th.

Sagittarius Season

The Sun enters Sagittarius on November 22nd at 9:58 AM EST. Now we enter the season of expansion and new possibilities. Nothing is proven, but the hope of what could be is paramount. “Potential” is the key word.

This sign is about exploration and humour; we keep moving forward because we do not allow the seriousness of events to weigh us down. However, issues of right/wrong and truth/wisdom are approached with passion or fanaticism. Humour does not mean that big- picture issues are discounted. Optimism needs a direction, and that can run the gamut from open-minded curiosity about everything to radical crusades designed to convert everyone.

Will certain legal or political “truths” emerge during the Sagittarius season? Perhaps. With Sag, truth is often woven into a very convincing story. 

But overall, the energy of this Jupiter -ruled sign is about bigger and better. Things have a tendency to increase and self-control flies out the window. But it’s always fun to tap into this energy if you want to celebrate and look forward to the future. And having something to look forward to is essential for progress.

Here are the aspects the Sagittarius Sun will make.

Nov 26th: New Moon (4°)

Dec 12th: Full Moon in Gemini (19°)

The Sun will enter Capricorn On December 21st.

November 20, 2019: Mercury Direct

  • Mercury in Scorpio stations direct (11° at 2:11 PM EST)

  • Chiron RX in Aries square Ceres in Capricorn (1 °)

Mercury direct gives you the go -ahead regarding issues that have been delayed, reviewed or questioned since October 31st. The in-depth examination or exposure of secrets is now over- it’s time to move forward with what you know (and that includes speaking out, if necessary).

Chiron/Ceres triggers some difficult dynamics around rigid or traditional nurturing. Ceres is about mother’s nurturing and the cycle of life, loss and rebirth. Attempts to parent someone could bring out painful dynamics as they struggle to maintain their independence. Nurturing can be used as a tool to control, even if this is not done consciously. Or, a defined crisis point in the cycle of life and loss can be very uncomfortable-understand that this cycle cannot be controlled, and that is perhaps the most painful part. 

If you’re confronting this crisis, use Mercury’s direct motion to advance the conversation or your inner knowledge.

Venus’ Transit of Sagittarius

Venus enters Sagittarius on November 1st at 4:24PM EDT. Relationships, finances and values call for an open-minded approach to the future. You’re turning towards the horizon: what’s next?

This transit is about exploring opportunities. If it’s different, exotic or hopeful and you think this could be something you want, it’s Venus in Sag. This energy is excellent for broadening your perspective on love and self-esteem (you are worth more and you can attract more). It can also indicate matters of justice, wisdom or religion applied to Venus themes: what’s true, what’s legal and where can you put your faith. 

Keeping in mind that Mercury stationed RX in Scorpio on October 31st, there’s a contrast between internal reviews and investigations (the past) versus external expansion and attraction of what you want (the future). When you combine the two, you peer into the background of a situation while expanding its potential.

Sagittarius is the sign of truth and knowledge, and of course Mercury backing through Scorpio will take you on an intense, intellectual journey. There’s an opportunity to gain tremendous understanding about a Venus issue. Maybe you uncover secrets that give you fresh perspective and truth about your love-life. Maybe you do some research about shared finances and uncover valuable resources that you can expand on. Maybe you have the taboo conversation that teaches you more about what you want, leading to increased freedom.

This is a time of truths that are uncomfortable (Scorpio) but expansive (Sag).

Here are the aspects Venus will make (Venus will enter Capricorn on November 25th).

Scorpio Season

The Sun enters Scorpio on October 23rd at 3:29 PM EDT. Scorpio season is the time of depth, intensity, secrets, shadows and hidden resources. It’s when we are encouraged to look inwards for true power or do some soul-searching. 

What Scorpio obscures in the shadows is often ugly and frightening. There are very few people with the courage and authenticity to dive into these issues and confront their own fears and taboos. 

There can be rewards during this season, but they are not the typical rewards. If you’re prepared to dig into what’s hidden, you can uncover unexpected sources of power, intimacy, commitment or healing. But that means you must commit to going all the way and not shrink back when you come across something disagreeable. Again, what you’re most often confronting are your own issues: shadow work. 

This season starts off with a supportive Waning Sextile from the Virgo Moon (to the Scorpio Sun) at 0° on October 23rd. Here is some gentle support as you descend into the underworld. The Waning Sextile encourages forward movement (by leaving the past behind). Virgo presents practical solutions and reassuring information-you’ll know what you have to do and what your next step is. You won’t be facing the Scorpio mysteries without a map. 

Go forward, into the shadows.

The Sun exits Scorpio for Sagittarius on November 22nd.

Here are the aspects the Sun will make:

  • Oct 27th: New Moon 4 deg Scorpio (11:38 PM)

  • Nov 12th: Full Moon 19 deg Taurus (8:34 AM)
