Venus is about to move out of steely and intense Scorpio into Sagittarius. Sagittarius is associated with exploration beyond your boundaries- and finding pleasure in that. Sure this could mean planning a holiday or taking a holiday, but it…

October 17th, 2016: Venus in Scorpio Aspects Vesta and Ceres, Pallas Stations Direct
Albert Anker, 1875, “Young Mother Contemplating Her Sleeping Child in Candlelight” – Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org
Venus in Scorpio trines Vesta, at 29 degrees Cancer, and makes an inconjunct to Ceres Rx, at 29 degrees Aries. The focus on what you love will deepen, and the flow may become almost obsessive. The greater the intensity of devotion, the greater the tension between this and something independent that’s being nurtured.
Vesta and Ceres are squaring each other (this aspect was exact on October 16th), triggering a crisis between birth/rebirth (Ceres) and devotion (Vesta). Focus in one area will clash with nurturing in another area. Compulsive attraction/love (Venus in Scorpio) will trigger this issue. Vesta is associated with purity (purity of intent, discipline) and Ceres is associated with mothering. When the two are at odds, difficulties with children and parental roles can come up.
The solution is to not plunge so far into what you want, that you forget about what’s struggling to be free. Love that is one thousand fathoms deep is powerful, but it can drown the independent spark. Love deeply, love completely, but make sure you can see the light on the surface.
Pallas in Aquarius stations direct, at 18 degrees. The unconventional pattern that’s been under review since August 12th, 2016 (when Pallas Rx reentered Aquarius) is now complete. You can move forward with it, or let it go.

October 11th, 2016: A Day of Promise

Today’s influences hit all the right notes – enthusiasm, harmony and acceptance, with a touch of magic. If you have something to launch, submit or attempt, today’s overall ease and opportunity can help.
Mercury in Libra conjoins Jupiter, at 6 degrees. Jupiter expands Mercury’s wit and verbal grace, and Mercury puts Jupiter’s beliefs into words. Discussions will be open and hopeful. Excellent for introductions or any social function where it’s essential to be polite and positive. This aspect gives all one-on-one communication an optimistic spin, so if you’re trying to make amends or find something to talk about, Mercury/Jupiter can inject fresh perspective and ideas.
Continuing the open-minded trend, the Libra Sun trines Pallas Rx, at 18 degrees Aquarius. Odd patterns are given a social outlet. Something that’s too revolutionary for polite company has a better chance of being accepted. And, the Moon conjoins Pallas Rx, making this part of a Waxing trine between the Sun and Moon. This part of the lunar cycle makes integration easier. Events ease forward and understanding grows. Libra and Aquarius blend group dynamics with one-on-one connections.
Venus at 21 degrees Scorpio conjoins Juno and trines Chiron Rx in Pisces. Love and profound commitment merge, while Chiron adds a shot of empathy. Unconditional expressions of fidelity come from the acceptance of each other’s wounds. Pain is shared and makes the relationship stronger.
Mars in Capricorn makes a sextile to Neptune Rx in Pisces, at 9 degrees. This is an aspect of gentle manifestation, as Mars’ determined actions ground Neptune’s dreams. A vision can be solidified, as you work to integrate magic into the real world.

October 1st, 2016: Mercury in Virgo Opposite Chiron Rx, Venus in Scorpio Trine Neptune Rx

A day for compassionate release.
Mercury in Virgo opposes Chiron Rx in Pisces, at 22 degrees. Looking too closely at the flaw, or for the flaw, won’t help. Sometimes it’s better to release what’s broken, rather than pinning it down with an observation. Staying silent and listening with compassionate empathy will be more helpful than offering solutions.
Venus in Scorpio trines Neptune Rx in Pisces, at 9 degrees. Love is expressed through complete acceptance of the darkness. Embrace what makes you most uncomfortable and allow yourself to relax into the shadows. There are no limits here, and this is where you discover the jealousy, lack of control or “shameful” secrets, aren’t as bad as you thought. And maybe that relationship fear simply dissolves. This aspect is more about compassion than passion, but it can still be quite intense.
Venus’ Transit of Scorpio: Beauty of the Coiled Truth
pexels.com
Venus enters Scorpio on September 23rd. Relationships, values, self-esteem and financial issues get real, as truths are exposed with unblinking passion. But this transit is not just about the intense desire to possess. Venus in Scorpio’s intensity comes from in-depth exploration – going beneath the surface to understand the truth of the attraction. Why is this relationship satisfying/not satisfying? Why do you want this person or item? How far can you push this attraction? She is the beauty in what many consider ugly, frightening or forbidden.
Virgo is the sign of intellectual analysis, but Scorpio is instinctive analysis.
True intimacy happens when limits are crossed, in a healthy, empowering way. Venus in Scorpio achieves value with this intimacy, and when she is involved with people that contribute to her security and transformation. Venus wants to be secure in this sign, but she is confronted with the Scorpio push to evolve. Slow, powerful change versus the focus on absolute control creates a point of tension. Do you remain stuck in the obsession, which is the illusion of control (habitual monitoring of another person)? Or do you take a deep breath and dive, pushing past the pain of rejection, abandonment and vulnerability? Venus in Scorpio’s power (her true power) comes from her fearless exposure of the desire that waits patiently in the shadows.
You may simply experience a steamy attraction with this transit. It doesn’t have to be a life-changing influence. Or, you may be more inclined to expose the real you, because it feels sexy and powerful. But the base dynamics will be same: intensity through access to the truth that lies coiled at the heart of the issue.
Venus’ Scorpio ingress will happen one day after the Sun enters Venus-ruled Libra, and Mercury stations direct in Virgo. The strategic energy around the Fall Equinox will be intensified with Venus in Scorpio. She’ll be resonating on two levels, simultaneously: surface relationships/balance/harvest (Sun in Libra) and what’s beneath the surface. With Mercury direct for an added shot of analysis.
So many layers to be revealed. You can learn some rich, fascinating details about yourself and/or another. This may go back to August 29th, when Venus conjoined Mercury in Virgo, and Venus entered Libra. Check this post for a review of that day.

Venus is about to move into Scorpio- a sign she’s not particularly comfortable in. Venus in Scorpio is in what traditional astrologers term the sign of her detriment(remember back to this Toolbox?). This doesn’t mean that Venus is weak in…
