There are a certain number of women…say, twenty percent, who hate other women. They just hate you. There’s nothing you can possibly do to have them like you because they hate you and it’s not because of you, it’s because … Read More…

March 4th, 2017: Venus Retrograde in Aries
Venus Retrograde
Venus will soon be retrograde. Of course, this doesn’t mean that the planet is moving backwards, just that it appears to be doing so from our perspective. My Aries hairdresser asked me about it the other day: ‘My stars in the magazine…
Venus in Aries: Anish Kapoor
Continuing the series on artists with Venus in Aries. The picture tells the story really. Anish Kapoor has Venus at 0° Aries — the Ur degree, the alpha … the very beginning of the whole Zodiac. And well, is here is a great big Mons Venus in Aries own colour. Kapoor loves red. It’s nice that he has North Node in Capricorn — a sign which often seems to feature in sculptor’s charts. One suspects his relationship with India must be pretty complex (but a source of inspiration) with Uranus on the South Node. It’s interesting that he manages to be extremely […]

Venus in Aries: Francisco de Goya
Venus, the planet of love and art, harmony and sweetness, spends a long time in Aries, a sign that represents some quite contrary energies, in 2017. So we have an opportunity to look and think about how Venus behaves here. I’ve been looking at the charts of artists, fashion designers and film makers with Venus in Aries and seeing if this shows in their work. Francisco de Goya, the Spanish painter, whose life spanned the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th centuries, got into a spot of bother in 1808, even though he was a successful court painter. It was […]

Vivienne Westwood: Venus in Aries
Vivienne Westwood started her career running a shop called Sex at the grubby end of the King’s Road — first stop on London’s punk trail in the 1970s. Today, she is a doyenne of fashion world — doing the whole cat-walk-show thing and yet still a social revolutionary. With her North Node and Midheaven in Libra, the sign of couture, her chosen profession comes as no surprise — and with fiery Sagittarius Rising plus theatrical Moon in Leo square Uranus, nor does her propensity for making outrageous remarks and shocking fashion statements. The inconjunct between Moon and Mercury in Pisces might […]

February 7th to February 10th, 2017: Stepping Out

- Sun in Aquarius sextile Uranus in Aries: 21 degrees
- Venus in Aries inconjunct the Virgo North Node: 3 degrees
- Mercury in Aquarius inconjunct the Virgo North Node: 3 degrees
- Mercury in Aquarius sextile Venus in Aries: 5 degrees
Uranus rules Aquarius, so there’s extra resonance in this Sun/Uranus aspect (exact on February 9th). Freedom is pronounced, but the ease of the sextile suggests it should feel natural to do your own thing, even if that means you’ll be standing slightly apart from everyone else. One step in a different direction will be all it takes to energize you. This is the easy confidence of self-expression, and leads into the February 10th Full Moon eclipse in Leo.
On February 9th, Mercury makes a tense inconjunct to the Mercury-ruled North Node, bringing new information that must be taken into consideration. The path forward needs a slight adjustment. This aspect is part of a larger configuration (a Yod) that covers February 7th to February 10th. Venus in Aries made an inconjunct to the North Node on February 7th, and will sextile Mercury on February 10th. Mercury/Venus is good news, or flirtatious/inspiring words, delivered with a bit of sass. Something sounds risky and intriguing. The inconjuncts mean the North Node is the focal point – find a way to integrate new intel into an existing plan or improvement. You still have to be practical, but practical could use a stimulant. Fresh info means more effective upgrades.
Venus in Aries: Woman On A Mission
Venus moves into Aries today – in fact she’d already have been there a few hours as this goes to press. Because she goes retrograde this year (I told you all about that here) the stay in Aries is an…
Venus’ Transit of Aries and Venus Rx
http://ineedchemicalx.deviantart.com/
Venus enters Aries on February 3rd. The planet of relationships, money, self-esteem and values is in her opposite sign here. Technically, her detriment. Venus’ focus on relationships doesn’t sit easily in this “me first” sign. However, self-esteem and initiative can soar, if you’re ready to put yourself first.
The desire for something new is pronounced. This is the perfect time to view yourself in a bold, new light -personal image, creative projects or social contacts (for business or pleasure) can benefit from a bit of impulse and confidence. New attractions can be hot and fast-moving, but there’s no guarantee they’ll last.
The initial draw towards something/someone can be all-consuming, which is great for starting things. The courage to go after what you want will increase, because Venus in Aries loves a challenge. If something’s not quite available, it becomes ultra-desirable. Competition is sexy. This will be enhanced by Mars in Aries.
Mars and Venus will be activating the same section of your chart until March 9th. The two won’t meet up, but there will be a combo of action and attraction that’s quite effective.
Will you get what you want, and will it last? Some of it will. But some of what occurs will only grab your attention and remind you that you’re still alive. After the catalyst pushes you out of a rut, the attraction/situation will burn out. Even if this happens, you’ll still be in a brand new place, ready to keep moving forward.
Venus will square Juno in Capricorn on February 3rd – her transit will be immediately marked by the tension between new relationship impulses versus existing rules and commitments.
Venus Rx
This transit will feature Venus retrograde in Aries and Pisces. New attractions/results will be put on hold. You’ll be reviewing the excitement, to see if it’s more than just a hot flash. Is there enough fuel for the fire to last? Newly expressed values and confidence will be tested. Are you courageous enough to keep running with what you’ve started? Are you strong enough to keep putting yourself first? Venus Rx can also reconnect you to a love interest from the past.
As Venus Rx backs into Pisces, the new impulse will be further tested. Before it can continue, something will need to be released. It’s notable that she’ll make two squares to Saturn in Sag. This will take you back to the Venus/Saturn square (and Aquarius New Moon) of January 27th. The limits you encountered then will be repeated, as a final test. A demand of proof that the new developments are real. This test will involve your courage, independence and strength of will. Your commitment to something new may be tested. Or, an existing commitment in the face of something new (and more exciting) may be tested. Aries can be immature, and that won’t cut it under a Venus/Saturn square. There’s a difference between confidence and bratty self-entitlement.
Once Venus stations direct and reenters Aries, you’ll know if the situation is a keeper. You’ll know if you can sustain what you started.
