Thanks to Astrodatablog for finding the birth time of the new pope, and yes, he has got Ceres on an angle. Birth time is given as 9pm, so I expect it is approximate.Click here to see how Ceres is important for popes.
Eurowobbles
So now it’s naughty little Cyprus, the island of Aphrodite, which is giving the eurozone the screaming abdabs. Aphrodite is the Greek Venus, of course. In astrology, Venus rules money, so maybe it’s not such a surprise that Cyprus was, until a week ago…

Venus In Pisces – Sea Change
Venus followed up her detached sightseeing tour, carried aloft on the fluffy clouds, fresh air and thermals of Aquarius and from the 24th February 2013 got totally involved and fully immersed in the Water sign of Pisces where it stayed for the past month.
UN World Water Day 22nd March 2013. International Year of Water Co-operation
Is water a commodity or a human right?
All the while Venus has been picking up on any and every slight shift and alteration in her environment. Ideally, Venus loves to spend her time gazing in rapt amazement at the kaleidoscope of sparkling, dazzling images and information that passes through her gossamer boundaries. Now she has taken to bathing in the Pisces ocean having joined the Sun, Sun in Pisces – The Oceans of Infinity & The Sea of Souls and Mercury Mercury in Pisces – Postcards from a Magical Mind, also joining Pisces ruling planet, Neptune and the healing Chiron. Everything seems a lot more porous and impermanent then as Venus spent her time disarming and projecting an open, tolerant and friendly image to embrace whoever she may meet and greet.

Pisces Venus has a halo of glamour and a mysterious aura, quietly seducing and charming until the 22nd March, 2013 when she gets much more active, forthright and energetic in the fire lands of Aries, blazing away with Mars, Uranus and the Sun. This Venus in Pisces has wanted to feed the body, anoint it, in order to make it look and feel lovely. Venus Come Out Of Your Shell. Venus loves beauty in all it’s forms and has an innate appreciation of all the finer things in life, like art, culture and social bonds. Money and fairness come high on the list of Venus desires and a simple run through of her list will give us a clue as to just how fundamental and central she is to our lives. Relationships are key and really paramount to Venus and fairness comes into play here as well.

| Actress/Singer Zooey Deschanel has Venus in Pisces ‘Always the aim for me is making people feel like they are not alone.That’s just the greatest feeling’ |
Pisces wants us to apply our attention to our feelings and to the soulful depths of our being. With Venus the Goddess of Love here for a while she would have urged us to sample the delights of the imagination and to really indulge our fantasies. She will have wanted us to emphasise and understand our fellow man and be respectful to the creatures of the earth. She would have also wanted to be glamourous, to put on a bit of show, to hype things up and sprinkle some stardust over just about everything. Venus in Pisces will want us to connect and stop all that Aquarian detached rational thinking and get on and just ‘be’. Sure you may cry a bit more, you may laugh a bit more but you will feel. The whole world will feel more, as if it has morphed into an altogether different place, most probably a far sweeter one, if Pisces had a chance with much more heart.
Key to understanding what went on for us in retrospect is to look at where in ourselves we are ‘Pisces-attuned’. We all have degrees in our birth chart that intuit any Pisces vibration, our personal Pisces antenna. It will be good to look at how smoothly the matters connected to your Pisces house and/or planets ran. Were they functioning as well as they could or is there now room for improvement?

| A deep sea salvage crew funded by Jeff Bezos, Amazon’s boss has recovered pieces of two Apollo engines. |
If you are a Sun sign Pisces then this was all too familiar for you. Yet even a sensitive feeling Pisces needed time alone to sort stuff out and process things. Your hearts desire for kindness and understanding for everyone got an extra boost and this last month may have been just the time to really paint your own colours or after reflecting, of course, get the paintbox out now. All the glitz and glamour, all the hype and spin hides a yearning for something ‘greater than’ with Venus in Pisces, a pull to get out of our small self and join in with something bigger. We could have made ourselves more attractive and glamorous as we dipped into temptation and lured others out into those depths or cold baths.

| Venice A. Fulton has Venus in Pisces Actor Paul Khanna went from Death-eater in Harry Potter to no eater until about mid day, in his program Six Weeks to OMG. Venice self published Six Weeks To OMG initially as an ebook in January 2012 and outsold the Dukan Diet in the UK. The book went on to become the New York Times best seller later that year. |
For this Venus in Pisces month it may have felt like sink or swim in the tides and waves of emotion and imagination but it is good to reflect and remember that you have never been alone. If you reached the end of your tether remember that there was always something hanging on that other end. The Pisces symbol, the two fish, showed us that we are always linked. It just remains for us to find out just what we are linked to and that is a continuing and perhaps an infinite, never ending story.
