Venus’ Transit of Aries

Venus enters Aries on April 20th at 12:10 pm EDT. Relationships, money and self-esteem enter assertive new territory in this Mars-ruled sign. Venus in Aries is about attracting new opportunities or expressing your values in bold new ways. The energy is passionate and impulsive but necessarily long-lasting. At this point you’re going where instinct leads you: anything could happen. What is crucial is honesty – this transit can push you to acknowledge what you really want and if you’re ready to break away from whatever’s been restricting you.

This blends well with the Sun’s entrance into Venus-ruled Taurus, earlier in the day. Noting that the Sun is approaching Uranus in Taurus, these two planetary ingresses mark a definite shift in what you want, how you attract it and how you express your self-worth. Aries is competitive, and while Venus may express this indirectly, rest assured that this will be a factor in moving towards what you want. Competition may be attractive or you may be pushed to assert your values in new and uncomfortable ways by taking charge of what you want.

Again, this is all part of breaking free – say goodbye to complacency, stagnation and passivity.

Here are the aspects Venus in Aries will make:

  • Apr 23rd: conjunct Chiron (2 deg)

  • Apr 30th: trine Ceres Rx in Sagittarius (12 deg)

  • May 1st: conjunct Vesta (12 deg)

  • May 1st: opposite Pallas Rx in Libra (13 deg)

  • May 6th: square the Nodes (19 deg)

  • May 7th: square Saturn Rx in Capricorn (20 deg)

  • May 9th: trine Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (23 deg)

  • May 9th: square Pluto Rx in Capricorn (23 deg)

  • May 14th: sextile Mars in Gemini (29 deg)

  • May 15th: Taurus ingress

  • Venus in Pisces square Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (24 deg)

Relationships, finances and values are inflated with the Jupiter square. Venus in Pisces’ fluid boundaries are pushed to the point of exaggeration, so there will be great hopes for something you want or love. Venus in Pisces transcends reality and Jupiter is the great hope that elevates it even further.

This energy can have a euphoric feel – you may feel like giving it all away in a rush of unconditional love or throwing yourself into something because it looks magical. Too, you may have the restless urge for more as you crave something/someone that’s above your usual situation. There’s potential for great beauty and compassion, but Jupiter can make the vibe rather insistent – “no” is a word that’s compatible with this energy.

Consider the potential (yes, you can attract more) but be cautious about overdoing it. Check your expectations regarding other people – the promise may not add up to the reality.

Careless of Where Seeds Are Being Tossed

An analytical Virgo Moon will fuel the beginning of this new week on Monday April 15. We could feel encouraged to work WITH the new upcoming changes… or worry with sleepless nights instead. As the challenging energy grows from the Venus/Jupiter square, mountains might be created from molehills, if we forfeit self-control. Spontaneous ideas will […]

Not only Was America Not Christian but Founders Invented a Goddess

Now as a Christian myself, I know that this recent segment from Thom Hartmann may ruffle a few feathers in the realms of "America Was Founded as a Christian Nation" (incorrect as that is! the US is more of a Utopian Uranus-Neptune trine affair!) but what Thom says is true: our Founding Fathers set up America as the ‘New Atlantis’ via principles of The Enlightenment which were secular (based on

Double Bubble of Trouble | Starcana Cosmic Dirt

During the next four weeks, we could find ourselves attracted to what proves to be sympathetic, forgiving and healing. Through […]

March 11th, 2019: A Day of Ease

  • Waxing Sextile between the Taurus Moon and Pisces Sun (21 deg)

  • Venus in Aquarius sextile Ceres in Sagittarius (11 deg)

Taurus’ immediate reality grounds Pisces’ exalted dreams. Vague potentials from the March 6th Pisces New Moon can be integrated with what’s in front of you. Consider how you can move forward, step by step. What are some simple, practical things you can do that will have a physical impact? This is how you give form to the dream or work your way through the confusion.

Venus/Ceres supports open-minded nurturing and expressions of love. There is no possessiveness here – no judgements or restrictions. No fear. Caring for someone or encouraging the growth of a desired potential means opening your eyes to other possibilities and allowing the unexpected to develop.

Overall, today’s sextiles promise easy opportunities to move forward. Nothing dramatic, just some gentle nudges in the right direction.
