Venus Enters Capricorn: Authority is Beautiful

by  •

Venus enters Capricorn on November 25th, 7:28 PM EST. Relationships, finances, values and self-esteem take on a structured and traditional focus. What you want and love may be dominated by issues of status and concrete success. Capricorn is all business and you can attract good things if you focus exclusively on what you want while being realistic. And, you can attract benefits if you play by the rules.

However, the shadow side of Venus in Capricorn involves the denial of authentic relationships/values In favour of rigid and outdated traditions. Part of being an adult (a Capricorn signature) Is knowing when it works for you and when you’ve outgrown it. And if you don’t know? Maybe you don’t even really know what you want or what defines your self- worth: this transit can clarify things as you encounter hard limits and responsibilities.

Standards are elevated and success is the driver. Authority is beautiful. But you have to work for what you want. Romance, dreams and vague boundaries will not cut it. Are you ready to commit to someone or to your own defined values? This transit can separate the adults from the children when it comes to love, self- esteem or money: you will attract what you’re ready to commit to and you will experience blockages around what you’re not serious or realistic about.

Here are the aspects Venus in Capricorn will make. Venus exits Capricorn for Aquarius on December 20th.

November 24th, 2019: Venus Conjunct Jupiter and Mars Opposite Uranus

  • Venus in Sagittarius conjunct Jupiter (28°)

  • Mars in Scorpio opposite Uranus RX in Taurus (3°)

Venus/Jupiter is abundance, gifts and the expansion of what you want. Hopes are high: this could be a lucky break, idealistic relationship or time of burgeoning self-esteem as you attract something big.

Mars/Uranus is a result involving a sudden break or abrupt action. The tension of the opposition suggests that it will be quite dramatic. Uranus’ disruptions can trigger intensive reactions that have been simmering in the shadows. What bursts forth from a Fixed sign like Scorpio is potent because it has been building slowly. 

The themes of risk and freedom are emphasized. Jupiter is about future growth and Uranus Is the rule -breaker. You may attract an amazing opportunity and you’ll have to place your faith in the future. At the same time, consider what you’re breaking away from but be careful-events can spiral out of control with hard aspects to Uranus.

How much is the risk worth? Or, does the disruptive ending have a silver lining?

November 16th, 2019: Yod To Venus In Sagittarius

by  • 

Yod.jpg

  • Cancer Moon inconjunct Venus in Sagittarius (18°)

  • Vesta RX in Taurus inconjunct Venus in Sagittarius (18°)

  • Cancer Moon sextile Vesta RX in Taurus (18°)

The above aspects make a configuration called a Yod. The harmonious sextile between the Moon and Vesta creates a stable base that’s rooted in the focus (Vesta) on habits (Taurus) and a familiar, comfortable environment (Cancer).

But the Moon and Vesta both made awkward inconjuncts to Venus in Sag-a new, slightly risky and tempting opportunity may distract you from your focus and make you feel uncomfortable. So there is a struggle to maintain that comfortable status quo even though something exotic beckons. The results can manifest as discord between what you want versus what you need.

The key with a Yod is to use the focal planet as a point of integration, because the focal plan is your task. The issues it represents will be prominent but difficult. Venus is the focal planet here, so what’s new and expansive must be integrated into what’s familiar. These will involve Venus themes- money, relationships, what you want, what you’re are attracted to, your values. There will be discomfort, security fears and anxiety because the Yod is a challenging configuration. The “target” (whatever Venus represents) will not respond to neediness or fear. Use the comforts that you know are real and sacred as a solid foundation, then reach upwards and outwards while keeping your feet planted.

November 14th, 2019: Venus Square Neptune And A Touch of Lilith

  • Scorpio Sun trine Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (21°)

  • Venus in Sagittarius square Neptune RX in Pisces (15°)

Sun/BML allows you to dip smoothly into Lilith’s forbidden waters. Exploring sexuality or a female persona that drift outside the lines can be empowering and natural. Nothing is forced-go with the intuitive current that pulls you in a magical or secretive direction. 

But Venus/Neptune suggests you have to be careful in case you go too far. Values, relationships or self-esteem can be undermined by unhealthy fantasies or risky attractions. There’s a draw to more and better, but the situation that appears to embody these qualities could be false. The fantasy of the ultimate romantic escape or liberating gift can end up costing you way too much. 

Dip your toes in the water but don’t lose sight of the shore.

November 5th, 2019: Mars Square Pluto

  • Mars in Libra square Pluto in Capricorn (20°)

  • Venus in Sagittarius inconjunct Uranus RX in Taurus (4°)

The crisis between external actions (Mars) versus internal motivations (Pluto) can trigger extreme reactions: anger, obsession or aggression will be intensified. 

Actions may be polite (Libra) on the surface, but there will be an undercurrent of something darker. Efforts to manipulate, gain power or strike back will be indirect, but don’t be fooled. 

Whether you’re reacting, or you’re on the receiving end, it can help if you tune in to what’s going on beneath the surface. What are the real motivations? Surface actions will be a distorted version of those.

Pay special attention to extreme power imbalances (Libra). Efforts to dominate or fight back against domination will be based on Pluto’s life-or-death vibe. The actual situation is usually not life threatening, but Pluto has a way of amplifying those survival urges.

Meanwhile, Venus (ruler of Libra) will make an awkward inconjunct to Uranus. Exploring new and expansive areas in relationships, finances, creative opportunities or personal values can attract some unexpected and disruptive results. Uranus in Venus-ruled Taurus is about the update to fixed financial or security habits. The resulting insecurity/impatience can trigger unwise risks.

Going back to Mars in Libra (square Pluto), we can see how intensely frustrating or hostile moments can trigger radical urges for escape (Sagittarius). Overall, you want to carefully consider your responses rather than blindly reacting. Don’t be someone’s puppet by dancing to their manipulative tune. And don’t be controlled by your Shadow issues-jealousy, resentment, fear of loss, unacknowledged anger. 

Maintaining your awareness is your best bet to maintaining your balance, even if you’re confronted with a ferociously unfair situation. That means acting in a way that’s as fair as possible while acknowledging your anger over what’s unfair.
