Venus enters Aquarius on December 20th at 1:41 AM EST. Matters pertaining to relationships, money, values and self-esteem will be filtered through this detached Air sign. That means a fresh approach to all Venus matters, as some detachment is necessary in order to break away from what’s outdated. This is the sign of liberation and updates (the future) so expect some odd but refreshing manifestations. This is also the sign of friendship (as opposed to partnerships) so relationships in general will have more room to maneuver.

Venus in Aquarius is about the beauty of what’s eccentric – the detachment of the outsider may be forced or voluntary, but this is the transit that allows you to explore what’s appealing about differences. Break with tradition and experiment, while considering what impact your role in society has on your self-esteem. Even if you refuse to run with the crowd and steadfastly maintain an anti “whatever” stance, this still describes your relationship to the collective (your role as a rebel, disgruntled hermit or sparkling alien – all manifestations of Venus in Aquarius).

Independence is valued as are friendly social connections – keep it light and non-judgemental. The only thing that is really committed to is your own path or a meaningful friendship; Venus in Aquarius can and does commit, but only on her terms. 

Venus will exit Aquarius for Pisces on January 13th.

Here are the aspects Venus will make:

December 16th, 2019: Venus Sextile Black Moon Lilith

  • Venus in Capricorn sextile Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (25 deg)

Traditional expressions of female energy (Venus in Capricorn) can be integrated with subversive expressions of taboo female energy (Black Moon Lilith). A previously undefined sexual urge or desire to drift outside the lines can work more effectively within a certain structure. This could be about combining two sides of yourself or learning to accept someone who is an outsider or target of judgements.

BML adds another dimension to Venus’ restrained values, and Venus’ boundaries can increase BML’s power (sometimes BML in Pisces can undermine herself as she drifts into victim scenarios).

December 13th, 2019: Venus Conjunct Pluto, Mars Trine Neptune

  • Venus in Capricorn conjunct Pluto (21°)

  • Mars in Scorpio trine Neptune in Pisces (15°)

Venus/Pluto is the intensification of defined desires. Pluto adds a “must have” quality to a relationship, financial or self- esteem issue. The intensity of what you want or love will teach you about your personal limits: how far are you willing to go and how much control are you willing to give up? The truth of what you want will be excavated so there’ll be no room for denial. This could be about a total commitment or total ending and transformation (aspects to Pluto often indicate a metaphorical death).

Neptune can enable Mars’ actions as a smooth flow of motivation with zero resistance. It will be easy to dive deeply into something, so this energy can enable healthy and not so healthy actions. Just because an aspect (the trine) is harmonious, doesn’t mean that the outcome is always positive. You really have to look at what you’re doing and why. On the plus side, Neptune can encourage Mars in Scorpio’s deeply compassionate or healing efforts as boundaries are dissolved.

Overall, this is about serious actions (Mars) and attraction (Venus). There’s the potential to go deeper than you ever have, regarding what you want and what you’re prepared to do to get it. As noted, efforts will be easy but that may or may not be a good thing. What you end up with will reveal the true power or transformative potential in a relationship or resource.

December 11th, 2019: Venus Conjunct Saturn

by  •

  • Venus in Capricorn conjunct Saturn (19°)

What you want will be defined and limited. There will be rules around money, relationships or how you express self- esteem. These rules will make your responsibilities undeniable; for example, the work that you must do in order to manifest what you want. You may feel pressured, and this will define the absolute reality of what you love and how you love.

If you’re comfortable with reality, this conjunction can herald a solid commitment that makes you happy. This is about the security of knowing exactly where you stand with someone else, with your finances and your values. This can also be about taking control of a relationship or yourself-exercising maturity and authority In order to manifest something good.

But if you’ve been avoiding reality or your responsibilities, this can represent a difficult obstacle that denies you what you want and forces you to restrain your spending/indulgence/expressions of affection.

A conjunction is a new beginning. The last time Venus and Saturn met up was on February 18th, 2019. A situation has come full circle since then. Consider if the rules and limits have changed, or if your approach to them has. If you’ve been trying to build financial, relationship or inner security, this is the time to take stock of how far you’ve come.

In some cases, a situation may mature to the point where it has reached its natural conclusion. Therefore, the new beginning will consist of what lies beyond the finish line.

December 8th, 2019: Capricorn Energy (And A Sun/Neptune Square)

  • Sagittarius Sun square Neptune in Pisces (15 deg)

  • Venus in Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces (15 deg)

  • Jupiter in Capricorn square Chiron RX in Aries (1 deg)

  • Ceres in Capricorn conjunct the South Node (8 deg)

The Sun/Neptune square promises limitless faith and good things, but much of what is promised will be false. A square to Neptune is a crisis of truth and belief: the shimmer of possibility is an illusion. There could be questions about what you thought was true.

Venus in Capricorn’s harmonious aspect to Neptune can be a point of grounding and reality for the above. It’s not all false- there’s a seed of magic that can be developed via focus and maturity regarding what you love.

Jupiter in Capricorn’s structured opportunities can trigger moments of doubt or insecurity as it squares Chiron. The need to prove what you’re learning, teaching or growing can stir up some pain, so before you push further down this new path consider why it hurts. You don’t need to stop, but you can use this moment to learn more about an area of vulnerability. 

Ceres over the South Node draws your attention to an issue of mothering or nurturing from the past. Rules about care, loss or rebirth will be the focus- there could be a permanent ending that’s part of a larger cycle. Or, you may be reaping the results of previous attempts to nurture.

December 4th, 2019: First Quarter Square And Relationship Crisis

by  •

  • First Quarter Square between the Pisces Moon and Sagittarius Sun (11°)

  • Venus in Capricorn square Juno in Libra (10°)

  • Mercury in Scorpio trine Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (24°)

The First Quarter Square triggers a crisis between spirituality (Pisces) versus wisdom (Sag) or dreams versus truth. An established belief, piece of knowledge or religion will be challenged by what cannot be defined. Something will be undermining your faith, and it could be a lie, fantasy or energy that transcends everything you thought you knew. The questions that are raised will push you to take action- it’s time to step forward and defend your truth or make a change that aligns you with a new truth. 

Continuing the theme of crisis, Venus/Juno raises tension between authoritative expressions or love or values versus a harmonious partnership agreement. Authority, traditions or control will trigger an imbalance between two people. Consider how this tension factors into the above crisis of truth and belief.

But there is an easy aspect today-Mercury harmonizes with Black Moon Lilith, tapping into uncomfortable and taboo information about women’s sexuality that is somehow deemed “unacceptable.” Here is the undeniable and intense voice of truth- saying what needs to be said or exploring secret issues. Consider how the smooth flow of intense, authentic female energy (via words or ideas) can help you deal with the above crises.

This trine between Mercury and BML is the last of three. So you’re concluding an issue that began on October 17th.

December 3rd, 2019: Dig Deep

  • Mercury in Scorpio sextile Pluto in Capricorn (21 deg)

  • Venus in Capricorn sextile Mars in Scorpio (9 deg)

Mercury/Pluto indicates words with harmonious power. Mercury in Scorpio is already focused on what’s beneath the surface, and when you add Pluto (ruler of Scorpio) you get authentic information that slides into your awareness. Words make a quiet impact. 

Mercury/Pluto first made this sextile on Oct 19th at 20 deg, and then again on Nov 9th at 20 deg (when Mercury was RX). So this will be the conclusion of something that’s been brewing since October. 

Mars/Venus harmonizes actions with attraction- efforts that tap into the deepest motivations (and are focused, passionate, authentic) can net you something favourable. Dig deep and you can manifest formal expressions of love, money or values. The overall theme is commitment: this is a quiet aspect but the energy is profoundly serious. 

In general, today is excellent for confirming what you want while committing to undeniable truths.

December 2nd, 2019: Venus Conjunct South Node, Mars Trine the North Node

by  •

  • Venus conjunct the Capricorn South Node (8 deg)

  • Mars in Scorpio trine the Cancer North Node (8 deg)

Venus over the SN is a culmination or ending involving a relationship, money, self-esteem or values. What you want/love will be defined, and it could be something from the distant past. This is about a mature commitment to what’s desired, or a mature acceptance that something is concluding. 

In some cases, there could be a romantic connection with strong karmic energy; a meeting with someone from a past life with a sense of inevitability and instant seriousness.

Either way, it should be favourable because Mars is activating the North Node (path forward). So you’ve got intensive, passionate actions moving you forward. You’re not stuck (if you don’t want to be) and the key is “take action.” Efforts should flow forward easily, providing they are authentic. 

To sum up these aspects, consider what you can do with what you want/own and how you can develop your situation further. The North Node always develops South Node energies, rather than cancelling them out. So you’re looking at how tradition/rules can be progressed to something emotionally authentic and satisfying.
