Aquarius New Moon: Connections

Aquarius-style friendships generally sidestep the high emotional stakes of best friends, spouses, and “frenemies.” They are the mesh tank tops of relationships – loosely-knit alliances that keep us covered but let us breathe. They are the connections that let us feel like a part of society without losing our independence.

What I believe: Can politics and astrology mix?

politics astrology

I have been writing this blog for a long time – since November 2005 to be exact.  During this time I’ve written over 2500 posts, and quite a few have been political in nature.  One of the things I enjoy exploring in these pages is how current astrological cycles affect humans on earth, and since […]

Venus’ Transit of Capricorn: The Beauty of Limits

Fernand Khnopff

Fernand Khnopff

Venus enters Capricorn on February 3rd. This Saturn-ruled sign is not a fun placement for Venus, but it does demand quality, focus and maturity for relationships, finances, values and self-esteem.

This is the transit that makes you aware of what you’ve earned or where you’re restricted/lacking. It delivers reality in all Venus-themed situations and demands that you focus on what you want and the associated limits.

Venus in Cap can be ambitious or fearful – it all depends on how you work with the energy. You’ll probably notice more restrictions but this is the opportunity to dig in and do the work. When you run up against a restriction, it emphasizes the true value of what you want or love. When it’s not immediately available you have to earn it.

How much do you want it? How much do you value yourself? Authority is a theme – getting yourself/your money/your boundaries under control.

As an attraction influence, Venus in Capricorn can deliver rewards, but these will only be the results of your hard work and self-respect.

This transit can also deliver judgments: not attractive enough, not successful enough. You may be weighed down by these judgements or you can turn them around and apply them in constructive ways. Are the people you let in good enough for you? Do they respect you? Do you respect yourself?

Boundaries, boundaries, boundaries.

Here are the aspects Venus in Capricorn will make:

  • Feb 5th: sextile Vesta (2 deg Pisces)

  • Feb 17th: sextile Neptune in Pisces (15 deg)

  • Feb 18th: conjunct Saturn (16 deg)

  • Feb 22nd: conjunct Pluto (22 deg)

  • Feb 26th: conjunct the South Node (25 deg)

  • Feb 28th: square Pallas Rx (29 deg Libra)

  • Mar 1st: square Uranus in Aries (29 deg)

  • Mar 1st: Aquarius ingress
