Venus’ Transit of Capricorn: The Beauty of Limits

by  • 

Fernand Khnopff

Fernand Khnopff

Venus enters Capricorn on February 3rd. This Saturn-ruled sign is not a fun placement for Venus, but it does demand quality, focus and maturity for relationships, finances, values and self-esteem.

This is the transit that makes you aware of what you’ve earned or where you’re restricted/lacking. It delivers reality in all Venus-themed situations and demands that you focus on what you want and the associated limits.

Venus in Cap can be ambitious or fearful – it all depends on how you work with the energy. You’ll probably notice more restrictions but this is the opportunity to dig in and do the work. When you run up against a restriction, it emphasizes the true value of what you want or love. When it’s not immediately available you have to earn it.

How much do you want it? How much do you value yourself? Authority is a theme – getting yourself/your money/your boundaries under control.

As an attraction influence, Venus in Capricorn can deliver rewards, but these will only be the results of your hard work and self-respect.

This transit can also deliver judgments: not attractive enough, not successful enough. You may be weighed down by these judgements or you can turn them around and apply them in constructive ways. Are the people you let in good enough for you? Do they respect you? Do you respect yourself?

Boundaries, boundaries, boundaries.

Here are the aspects Venus in Capricorn will make:

  • Feb 5th: sextile Vesta (2 deg Pisces)

  • Feb 17th: sextile Neptune in Pisces (15 deg)

  • Feb 18th: conjunct Saturn (16 deg)

  • Feb 22nd: conjunct Pluto (22 deg)

  • Feb 26th: conjunct the South Node (25 deg)

  • Feb 28th: square Pallas Rx (29 deg Libra)

  • Mar 1st: square Uranus in Aries (29 deg)

  • Mar 1st: Aquarius ingress

February 3rd, 2019: Venus in Sagittarius Square Chiron

by  •

  • Venus in Sagittarius square Chiron in Pisces (29 deg)

Venus in Sag is about the freedom to explore and love something new. It’s also about having faith in yourself and the future of your relationship and finances.

When she runs into a square with Chiron, that faith can be undermined and exploration can lead to bruises. Maybe you reach too far or believe in the wrong person. Maybe putting yourself out there reminds you of where you feel ugly or impoverished or undeserving.

Venus in Sag can also be careless with social niceties -in her rush to get to the good stuff she can trample over the more delicate things. So this aspect can also be a caution to slow down and exercise some empathy.

Someone (maybe you) will probably get hurt.

But this is a brief aspect. Expect some sore spots, then know that a few hours later Venus will enter focused, savvy Capricorn. You won’t have much time to wallow because you’ll be moving on to the next goal or strategy.

February 2nd, 2019: Successful Risks

by  •

  • Venus in Sagittarius trine Uranus in Aries (28 deg)

  • Venus in Sagittarius sextile Pallas in Libra (28 deg)

Venus/Uranus encourages boldness, risk and a desire for something unusual regarding relationships, money or personal self-expression. The harmony of the trine says you can explore something new without falling on your face, and Venus/Pallas adds in harmonious social strategies.

Libra is ruled by Venus, so the Pallas/Venus sextile is given a bit more power – taking a relationship in a new direction, meeting new people or trying out a new look/persona/expression of your values can be part of a successful strategy. Yes, this sounds a bit calculated but Pallas is always about the “battle” and the calculated approach to victory.

Note that Pallas and Uranus are applying to an opposition, exact on Feb 7th and Feb 20th. Social strategies will be challenged by rude surprises. There are some bumps coming your way. But for today, Venus is the happy go-between, which means your faith in what’s on the horizon (and in yourself) can help you deal with the approaching shocks.

If you’re working on a relationship or social solution, get ready to change it or (perhaps) do a complete reversal.

January 31st, 2019: Small Sacrifices and a Yod

by  • 

Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scévola

Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scévola

  • Saturn in Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces (14 deg)

  • Venus in Sagittarius inconjunct Juno in Taurus (26 deg)

  • Venus in Sagittarius inconjunct North Node in Cancer (26 deg)

Saturn/Neptune

Saturn and Neptune make the first of three sextiles this year. Form (Saturn) harmonizes with what dissolves (Neptune) form for subtle but effective energy. This is the aspect for gradual changes to rules or structure. And, you can make certain dreams real.

But Saturn and Neptune together also imply some kind of sacrifice. Specifically, Saturn’s reality puts limits on Neptune’s dreams. Even though the sextile is a harmonious aspect, there will still be a small sacrifice required to get what you want. You will have to work extra hard and give something up in order to create. You will have to be patient and serene but also disciplined.

This aspect will not deliver quick results or glory/security/wealth. But if you tap into it with soft control, you can create something new (based on a pre-existing structure).

  • June 18th: Saturn Rx sextile Neptune (18 deg)

  • November 8th: Saturn sextile Neptune Rx (16 deg)

Venus

Venus in Sag is the focal point of an aspect configuration called a Yod as she makes an awkward inconjunct to the Cancer North Node and Juno in Taurus. Juno/NN (the base of the Yod) form a stable sextile with each other – set partnership agreements (Juno) will support the path forward to emotional security (North Node). But the inconjuncts to Venus means new options, lessons or opportunities (Sagittarius) will challenge this security.

With a Yod, the only way to move forward is to incorporate the focal point energy – explore new options and broaden your definitions of what’s right/acceptable in the areas of love, money or values. If you don’t incorporate what’s new, the relationship agreement you have will stagnate. Explore and have faith while maintaining your security base.

January 22nd, 2019: Crucial Messages and More Venus

by  •

  • Mercury conjunct the Capricorn South Node (26 deg)

  • Mercury in Capricorn square Pallas in Libra (26 deg)

  • Pallas in Libra square the North Node in Cancer/South Node in Capricorn (26 deg)

  • Venus in Sagittarius conjunct Jupiter (16 deg)

Mercury/Pallas

Mercury over the South Node brings a message/messenger from the past. A key person, conversation or realization involving authority or rules will emerge. Watch for the culmination of a topic that’s been growing in significance, or an official document that finalizes something.

Even if you’ve just met this person or just encountered this message, there will be something familiar here- a sense that you’ve heard this before or you’ve been waiting to hear this. This will be a very significant piece of information that will clearly define a current reality. Perhaps the line between past and present will be verbalized – this could be a formal goodbye.

However, Mercury in Capricorn squares Pallas, which squares the Nodes. A square to the Nodes indicates a key issue that’s troublesome and can block your movement forward to the Cancer North Node (an area of emotional honesty and satisfaction). Pallas in Libra is the social strategy – a solution or approach that’s designed to “win” (Pallas is about doing battle) but in polite Libra, the strategy is coated in sugar. This is social engineering and pretty words with a steel core. Winning the social/relationship battle with grace or passive-aggressive methods.

Something about these strategies needs to be addressed, because they are blocking your way forward. Maybe they’re inauthentic or outdated. Or maybe you’re not standing up for yourself (distorted Libra can be the people pleaser). The square to Mercury means the key message/messenger will draw your attention to this failing strategy. There may be tension between verbal boundaries versus being liked, or strict rules that challenge your current attempts at a social or relationship solution.

Where are your relationship strategies out of balance? Where do you need to be more authentic? What is the message from the past telling you?

Venus/Jupiter

Here is the aspect of abundance – more of what you want and love. Watch for an opportunity involving relationships, money, values and self-esteem. Optimism and a sense of adventure (Jupiter) boosts your chances of attracting (Venus) something favourable. Or, for some, this could be a moment of pure luck. It’s exuberant and asks that you have faith in love, life and yourself. Venus in Sag is about reaching into the unknown – something/someone you’ve never encountered before could be the key to a beautiful new beginning.

Remember that Jupiter is the promise, not the guarantee. In order to make the most of this, you’ll have to expand on what’s being promised. And, because Sagittarius is the sign of exploration, you’ll have to step outside your comfort zone.

Note that Venus rules Libra, so this connects to Pallas in Libra. Jupiter’s “more” does not mean “more of the same.” As you encounter this lovely gift, consider how you can change your relationship, financial or self-esteem strategies. Here’s a chance to do it differently and better.
