  • Venus in Taurus trine Pluto Rx in Capricorn (22 deg)

Pluto strengthens what Venus in Taurus wants – relationships, self-esteem or money based on what’s already there can gradually intensify, as slow transformation deepens what you have. This is not about what’s new or exciting. Rather, it’s an empowering influence that helps you make the most of what has the most value.

This is the aspect for those who know what they have and know what they’re worth. Focus on the resources beneath the surface for an intensified commitment to yourself, to someone else, to your happiness. The trine means this will happen naturally – nothing is forced.

May 31st, 2019: The Quiet Commitment

  • Venus in Taurus trine Saturn Rx in Capricorn (19 deg)

  • Venus in Taurus sextile Juno in Cancer (20 deg)

Venus/Saturn is the solid commitment to what you want (financially or emotionally). It’s not showy or romantic, but it does confirm something that you have been working on. Your discipline and focus can deliver quiet rewards today, and Venus/Juno adds a bit of encouragement – that emotional relationship agreement can be stabilized.

This is quiet but real. It’s entirely dependent on the work you have put in so far, and the rules/responsibilities you are revisiting. Not so attractive for those who want something tingly, but very nice for those who crave what’s reliable.

May 30th, 2019: Big Words and Hard Commitments

  • Mercury in Gemini opposite Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (20 deg)

  • Venus in Taurus trine the South Node in Capricorn (18 deg)

  • Saturn Rx in Capricorn opposite Juno in Cancer (19 deg)

Mercury/Jupiter

Something will sound really good, but the facts are contrary to hopes/ideals. Any aspect to Jupiter can be positive, and an opposition can sometimes point to an expansive result. Plus, Jupiter is Rx so you’re returning to this issue. But Mercury opposite Jupiter can mean unrealistic promises or difficulty focusing on a specific fact because the conviction that you’re right (no matter what the facts say) pulls you away from the information.

This is the aspect of big talk and massive opinions, but accuracy will be in question.

Venus/South Node

In contrast to the above, this is a quietly reassuring aspect. You can depend on something/someone from the past. Or, a habit/tradition is favourable. Now, this may or may not be the best thing- maybe you’re enabling a not-so-healthy habit or association because it delivers the goods. Consider if the familiarity of this issue is stabilizing or stagnating.

Saturn/Juno

A return to, or emphasis on, rules/commitments will restrict a nurturing agreement. Juno in Cancer is the relationship agreement that values security, but the opposition to Saturn Rx suggests restrictions and a lack of empathy. How rigid are those rules? Are you ready to restrict yourself in favour of someone else’s authority? Parental dynamics are prominent.

In some cases, this aspect can point to the end of agreement or an official separation.

May 24th, 2019: Step Back From What You Want

  • Moon in Aquarius trine Mercury in Gemini (6 deg)

  • Moon in Aquarius square Venus in Taurus (11 deg)

Open and detached communication can unfold smoothly with the Moon/Mercury trine. Step back from the choices and you’ll discover some new and interesting angles. Perhaps there are more choices than you realized. Excellent for communicating unconventional ideas or connecting with odd, inspirational people.

However, Moon/Venus suggests some discord between this detachment versus solid, predictable manifestations of what you want. The tension between materialism/possessiveness versus freedom can trigger insecurities and corresponding intensified desires.

So the head is on track, but the heart will experience some bumps. When in doubt, talk it out. If someone tells you they need more space, try not to react by tightening your grip. Take a deep breath and view the available options with clear eyes.

May 16th, 2019: Proper Focus

  • Waxing Inconjunct between the Libra Moon and Taurus Sun (25 deg)

  • Mercury in Taurus trine Capricorn South Node (19 deg) and Saturn Rx in Capricorn (20 deg)

The Waxing Inconjunct can trigger moments of frustration as you realize that it’s not all about you. Your primary focus on self (money, security or values) will be interrupted by the requirement to balance this with someone else’s needs. You’re not forgetting about you, but now is the time for a bit of compromise.

Mercury’s trines will keep the conversation or plans firmly fixed on existing rules and responsibilities. Yes, you want to move on from the past, but some obligations are necessary to keep your focus in line with what matters – what’s real and reliable. This can mark the harmonious conclusion of an official plan, the signing of a document, a commitment or your firm understanding of what needs to be said. Perhaps you’re communicating your boundaries. Too, memories can be reassuring as they draw your attention to what you’ve built.

Mercury is also making a sextile to the Cancer North Node, so what you say or define from the past will give you a structured view of the future.

Venus’ Transit of Taurus, May 15th: What Do You Want?

by  • 

Jan Jansz van de Velde

Jan Jansz van de Velde

Building on yesterday’s Venus/Mars connection, Venus moves into Taurus which harmonizes with Mars’ same-day ingress into Cancer. While they won’t be making an exact aspect any more, they are still close enough to play nice with each other until May 18th.

Venus is strong in the sign she rules, which means solid, physical evidence of what you want/love. Values, money and relationships are expressed through subjective survival instincts and a “what’s in it for me?” approach. This transit can help you determine what has genuine value and how you can treat yourself on a tangible level. Selfish can be good when you look out for yourself and tune into what /who really makes you happy and secure. “Secure” is the key word – Venus in Taurus has no time for anything that’s unsafe or unproven. And, it must have growth potential – this is a fertile sign.

The “not quite” sextile to Mars in Cancer suggests that nurturing actions will enable personal growth, necessary indulgence and a recognition of what you really want. Venus in Taurus is one of the most sensual tranists, and it doesn’t have to be complicated. Focus on what feels/smells/tastes good without questioning it. If you like it and no one else does, who cares? This transit is about what makes you happy on a tangible level. Can you get more of it? Even better.

Having said this, Venus’ conjunction with Uranus will have some surprises – more on that in the daily post or you can read my Patreon post about this yearly conjunction.

Here are the aspects Venus in Taurus will make:

  • May 16th: sextile Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (1 deg)

  • May 18th: conjunct Uranus ( 3 deg)

  • May 22nd: inconjunct Ceres Rx in Sagittaiurs (8 deg)

  • May 23rd: inconjunct Pallas Rx in Libra (10 deg)

  • May 30th: trine South Node in Capricorn (18 deg)

  • May 30th: sextile Neptune in Pisces (18 deg)

  • May 31st: trine Saturn Rx in Capricorn (19 deg)

  • May 31st: sextile Juno in Cancer (20 deg)

  • Jun 1st: inconjunct Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (20 deg)

  • Jun 2nd: trine Pluto Rx in Capricorn (22 deg)

  • Jun 8th: Gemini ingress
