September 25th, 2019: Venus Square Saturn And The Nodes

by  •

  • Venus in Libra square Saturn in Capricorn (13°)

  • Venus in Libra Square the Nodes (14°)

Venus square Saturn (ruler of the Capricorn South node) will place restrictions on what you want and love. These restrictions will be rules, obligations or traditions from the past. The pressure to conform or hold back will create an imbalance (Libra). You may feel less attractive or you may not get what you want in a relationship. The exchange of love and affection will be unequal-perhaps one person simply has nothing to give.

But since Venus is squaring the Nodes, those restrictions are pushing you towards a crossroads. You will have to acknowledge what you cannot have while also looking towards the future (Cancer North Node). The future is more emotional, nurturing and giving but it’s not familiar. So even if what you know it is unpleasant, there may be hesitation to move forward. It’s always your choice: you may have to make a decision about a relationship or a situation that impacts your self-esteem. Look at what you can’t have and where your responsibilities lie, and then consider what you can have (it’s ahead of you).

September 24th, 2019: Relationships are Favoured

  • Mercury in Libra inconjunct Neptune RX in Pisces (16°)

  • Mercury in Libra sextile Jupiter in Sagittarius (17°)

  • Venus in Libra sextile Ceres in Sagittarius (11°)

  • Saturn in Capricorn trine Juno in Virgo (13°)

Mercury/Neptune is a caution to balance truth with sensitivity. What’s unspoken or suspected should be honored, but don’t allow it to undermine your objectivity when speaking with others. It can be easy to read too much into what you think the other person is saying. But the more dominant aspect of Mercury/Jupiter should counteract this with a shot of balanced wisdom and optimism. Overall, communication with others will be open minded and inclusive.

Venus/Ceres adds a smooth touch to all relationships. One-on-one exchanges will be nurturing but not smothering. This aspect suggests acceptance and objective empathy for all. This also has a light touch- no one is being forced to conform or stay.

For those who want reassurance, Saturn/Juno ensures the firm commitment. Juno in Virgo is the detailed agreement-nothing is overlooked and there is a shared desire to improve. Saturn nails it down with an official commitment or steadfast rules.

Overall, any one-on-one exchange is favoured today.

September 17th, 2019: Rough Patches

by  •

  • Mercury in Libra inconjunct Uranus Rx in Taurus (6 deg)

  • Venus in Libra opposite Chiron Rx in Aries (4 deg)

A difficult day for relationship harmony.

Venus in Libra loves to be loved and to have everything polished, pretty and graceful. This can mean bending over backwards to be accommodating, but the opposition to Chiron indicates that there will be socially uncomfortable moments, no matter what.

Efforts to be charming or diplomatic may fail, or end up inadvertently triggering a sore spot. Perhaps you’re hurt because someone is taking advantage or treating you unfairly. This is the time to be aware of what desires (regarding love, attention and values) you’re projecting. People don’t know what you want unless you tell them. If they can’t or won’t meet you halfway (after you’ve been open) this tells you something about them.

Adding to this, we have Mercury making a painful inconjunct to Uranus in Venus-ruled Taurus. Polite conversation will be difficult due to hard-to-pinpoint anxiety about saying the right thing. There’s a need to speak the truth/break away from what’s proper, but there can be doubts about how to do this effectively. Words may swing between the complete avoidance of anything controversial (candy-coated statements) to blunt, artless blurbs.

Expect touchy, painful moments and inappropriate words. Do your best to navigate by making allowances for rough patches.

Venus’ Transit of Libra

by  •

Venus enters Libra on September 14th at 9:42 AM EDT. This is one of her home signs, so she is powerful here.

Libra is the sign of harmony, relationships and beauty, so some people mistakenly underestimate this combination. Social grace and relating are emphasized but many do not view these as strengths. And Venus in Libra can be co-dependent as she is primarily concerned with what the other wants. So there will be a lot of projection, flirting and “Whatever you want is fine with me.”

But this is not weak energy. Never forget that Libra is a Cardinal sign and Venus in Libra uses her charm and grace to skillfully and assertively appeal to others (without appearing to be assertive). Her talent is appealing to you and making you feel like you’re the only one in the room for that moment. She can become what she senses you want, all the while maintaining her detached view of the situation. Libra is an Air sign, so connections involve analysis. Venus in Libra is the beautiful strategist.

When this energy is distorted, connections can be superficial. At her worst, Venus in Libra wants to be someone’s partner for the sake of partnership (she really doesn’t like being alone). The idea of romance is exalted but the messy realities of relationships are avoided. She can be a social climber, focusing on appearance.

But at her best, Venus in Libra is the ultimate partner, sensing exactly what her lover wants and giving it to him/her without sacrificing her values or integrity. She understands that strategic compromise is an essential part of any partnership and being someone’s devoted partner does not make her weak. Her strength lies in her ability to be assertive (Cardinal) in a graceful way. Venus in Libra is just as competitive as Aries, but she competes in a way that others can’t detect (until she’s won). Some may call this sneaky (or passive- aggressive) but really she just knows how to get what she wants.

It’s easy to smack someone across the chops with your assertiveness but it takes skill to position yourself ahead of the pack in a way that’s undetectable and appealing.

During this transit, pay attention to what you want in the guise of what others have (they will reflect your desires). It’s all about the other, and jealousy/comparison/competition will be emphasized. Also, look at the balance between you and your partner – do you give each other what you want or is it one-sided? Do you know how to compromise or do you compromise to the point where others use you?

Here are the aspects Venus in Libra will make:

  • Sep 17th: opposite Chiron Rx in Aries (4 deg)

  • Sept 19th: inconjunct Uranus Rx in Taurus (6 deg)

  • Sept 24th: sextile Ceres in Sagittarius (11 deg)

  • Sept 25th: square Saturn in Capricorn (13 deg)

  • Sept 25th: square the Nodes in Capricorn/Cancer (14 deg)

  • Sept 27th: inconjunct Neptune Rx in Pisces (16 deg)

  • Sept 28th: sextile Jupiter in Sagittarius (17 deg)

  • Oct 1st: square Pluto Rx in Capricorn (20 deg)

  • Oct 6th: inconjunct Vesta Rx in Taurus (27 deg)

  • Oct 8th: Scorpio ingress

September 13th, 2019: The Best Details

  • Sun in Virgo trine Pluto Rx in Capricorn (20 deg)

  • Mercury in Virgo conjunct Venus (28 deg)

Sun/Pluto empowers your mastery over details, enabling you to do it correctly with maximum impact. This is about making the most of an improvement while integrating transformation with practical knowledge. A potent but non-invasive way to make something better, and Mercury/Venus adds charm and magnetism – solutions and helpful suggestions will sound appealing. Or, digging for specifics can unearth something very favourable. Perhaps you hear something very, very nice that’s exactly what you want. Or, you can deliver a critique in the nicest possible way.

These influences are about making the most of Virgo’s precision. Details are key – this can deliver the exact information/solution/fact that makes you happy. Power and beauty comes from focusing on the best.
