Rather than over – relying on facts and data, lean into magic and possibility. Stretch your mind into what’s possible rather than what’s probable. Allow Mercury to guide your mind and soul into the mysteries and magic that busyness and distraction of everyday life doesn’t make room for.
Venus takes on a different face as she leaves the sign of Libra and enters the deep still waters of Scorpio from October 8/9 – November 1/2.
Scorpio adds intensity and passion to the essence of Venus, to relate and unite. Feelings tend toward the secretive in Scorpio and they are intensely private. Trust needs to be established by asking questions and delving into the motivations of the other person.
Monday morning brought the New Moon in Gemini, which may give a taste of what’s to come when Venus arrives. The next few days may be about speeding up a plodding pace for a swift and more mentally agile way to enjoy life and connect with others.
Venus adopts a solo vibe while in Aries, so you may prefer to spend more time luxuriating in your own passion pursuits, rather than accommodating the wants or demands of others.
Until Friday morning, Venus will remain alongside Spica, forming an auspicious pairing that promises the continuation of cosmic sweetness this week. After the rough trot Venus as been through, I can honestly say, we deserve this!
This weekend, tenderness and care is promised. Give more than is expected and watch the flowers of love, abundance and support bloom. Consider a relationship that you value and ask yourself where you can help heighten the tide, so all can rise.
Generally, when a rare astrological transit occurs, there will be an obvious embodiment of that at a public or global level. With this weeks powerful and intense triple conjunction between the Sun, Venus and Pluto, was demonstrated via Oprah Winfrey’s Golden Globe speech.
Taurus also likes its creature comforts. This is an ideal time to actually enjoy and appreciate what you have around you. Bring out those things that are your ‘special occasion’ items. It may be an expensive perfume, the fancy dinner plates or the outfit you’ve never worn.
In Aries, the sign of the self, Venus already has difficulty in expressing her true nature of unifying and connecting. While retrograde, connecting with the ‘self’ becomes intensified. You might come to the conclusion that something you’re investing a lot of personal energy into is no longer worth it.
Feeling unappreciated for you efforts in love or friendship may also be heightened over the next 40 days.
This week brings a lovely continuation of Venusian themes after Saturday morning’s New Moon. Venus in her home sign of Taurus makes a series of aspects that promise support, progress and change.
