Venus’ Transit of Capricorn: The Beauty of Limits

by  • 

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

Mercury’s Transit of Aquarius: Pure Insight

by  • 

pexels-photo-1274260.jpeg

Mercury enters Aquarius on January 24th, 2019. Information and communication becomes more innovative and more detached. Aquarius is a logical sign but that doesn’t mean it’s dry. This energy is about considering anything that’s surprising, shocking or ahead of its time.

True detachment allows you to see things that others would never consider. Mercury in Aquarius views without judgement and speaks the truth. Sometimes this clarity can be cold, but malice is not an Aquarian trait. What you learn during this brief transit will open your eyes without sweet sentiments, but also without cruelty.

Most people forget that this sign is Fixed. So while this transit can be an eye-opener, opinions are not always liberating. Certain opinions can be stubbornly expressed – an idea about how social issues “should” work may support breaking the current rules, but in its own way it can be just as rigid as the traditions it’s rejecting. Aquarius is full of odd contradictions – rebellious but insistent on a specific path of rebellion. Detached but blind to anything from the past (which can be viewed as useless). Distorted Aquarius refuses to look beyond the set definition of freedom, which of course defeats the entire purpose.

Watch out for any rabid speeches that blindly reject the status quo for no reason other than it’s the status quo.

On the plus side, this is the time to look beyond what you know. Although none of us can ever be truly detached, this energy can present opportunities that will bring you close to this state. You can also experience flashes of pure originality and (perhaps) a glimpse of the future. Aquarius’ association with technology and eccentric things supports cutting-edge, niche interests.

Here are the aspects Mercury in Aquarius will make:

  • Jan 29th: conjunct the Sun (9 deg)

  • Feb 3rd: sexitle Jupiter in Sagittarius (18 deg)

  • Feb 4th: conjunct Black Moon Lilith (20 deg)

  • Feb 7th: sextile Mars in Aries (25 deg)

  • Feb 8th: inconjunct the Cancer North Node (26 deg)

  • Feb 9th: sextile Uranus in Aries (29 deg)

  • Feb 9th: trine Pallas in Libra (29 deg)

  • Feb 10th: square Juno in Taurus (29 deg)

  • Feb 10th: Pisces ingress

Venus’ Transit of Sagittarius: Wanting More

Venus enters Sagittarius on January 7th, expanding possibilities for relationships, money, self-esteem and values. Exploration and optimism colour Venus-themed issues – freedom becomes important and what’s up ahead is attractive (the journey can be more appealing than the destination).

This is a transit that attracts more – you want more and you can get more. There’s a sense of adventure – who knows what might happen and isn’t that the point? This is the time to keep your eyes open and consider what might usually be “impossible”. Take a second look at the romantic prospect who’s not your type, or the source of income that’s unusual/exotic, or the situation that’s a bit outside your comfort zone but still appealing.

Of course, risk must be balanced with reward, but Venus in Sag can teach you about what you thought you wanted, or what you thought your talents/self-worth consisted of. The key is growth- saying “yes” to something bigger and better. Doing more with what you have or reaching beyond what you’ve always wanted and discovering something new that’s appealing.

Don’t limit yourself with what used to matter or what you’ve always attracted. This is the transit that encourages you to consider what lies in unexplored territory.

Here are the aspects Venus in Sag will make:

  • Jan 8th: trine Mars in Aries (11 deg)

  • Jan 20th: square Neptune in Pisces (14 deg)

  • Jan 22nd: conjunct Jupiter (16 deg)

  • Jan 25th: sextile Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (19 deg)

  • Jan 31st: inconjunct the Cancer North Node (26 deg)

  • Jan 31st: inconjunct Juno in Taurus (26 deg)

  • Feb 2nd: trine Uranus in Aries (28 deg)

  • Feb 2nd: sextile Pallas in Libra (28 deg)

  • Feb 3rd: square Chiron in Pisces (29 deg)

  • Feb 3rd: Capricorn ingress

Mercury’s Transit of Capricorn

by  • 

Eduard von Grützner

Eduard von Grützner

Mercury enters Capricorn on January 4th. Words and thoughts become focused and serious. Messages are delivered with authority. Creativity is less important now than saying it and then doing exactly what you said – the verbal or written commitment. Therefore, the range of ideas is much narrower, but this allows you to identify what has solid potential.

Happening one day before the January 5th eclipse in Capricorn, Mercury’s ingress can signal a formal announcement, serious message or firm decision that’s related to this eclipse. Capricorn makes it real, so Mercury’s messages (or messengers) will have more weight than usual. Trust that what you see and hear is real, even if appears restrictive or judgemental.

On the plus side, this transit is excellent for making plans, putting goals into words and verbalizing boundaries.

Here are the aspects Mercury in Capricorn will make:

  • Jan 8th: square Mars in Aries (4 deg)

  • Jan 13th: conjunct Saturn (12 deg)

  • Jan 18th: conjunct Pluto (21 deg)

  • Jan 20th: trine Juno in Taurus (23 deg)

  • Jan 22nd: conjunct the South Node (26 deg)

  • Jan 22nd: square Pallas in Libra (26 deg)

  • Jan 23rd: square Uranus in Aries (28 deg)

  • Jan 23rd: sextile Chiron in Pisces (28 deg)

  • Jan 23rd: sextile Ceres in Scorpio (29 deg)

  • Jan 24th: Aquarius ingress
