Hello!
Venus has returned to the sign of Scorpio today at 10:02am (MST). Venus has been on a journey since retrograding in Scorpio, and back into Libra, in the beginning of October 2018. Now at the tail end of this 40 day cycle, Venus is now moving direct and into Scorpio again to apply some of the balancing and harmonizing insight she may have gained from her time in Libra to help transform relationships or possibly to let some go. Ultimately, Scorpio energy is about releasing attachment and doing what is best for the whole, therefore we may be able to transcend the baser Scorpio desires of control, manipulation and possession to see what our deeper feelings about any situation really are. Venus rules our creativity, money, relationships and partnerships and our social lives and Scorpio rules the 8th house of shared resources, transformation and mysticism. These are the areas of life we may be feeling more strength around our desires to get what we want.
Some ideas to consider about this Venus retrograde cycle from Cosmosofastrology.com:
During this forty days Venus retrograde period we turn inwards and wonder:
- What is that we want from a relationship and from our partner?
- Do we want to be in a relationship just only for the sake of not being alone?
- Which are the motivations and our deepest desires?
- Can we strip away layers of jealousy or control and reach again down to the core of the feelings?
- Is our relationship superficial, pop and “appearances-only”, lacking meaningful deepest sharing?
- Are we appreciated as much as we deserve?
- Do we re-return appreciation and value our partner?
“The very nature of these questions, whether we are in a relationship or not, concerns first and most to ourselves and while it mainly relates to love relations it also touches, one to one partnerships, business relations and our socializing in general. All these questions is a necessary part in this process of introspection that clears out situations, makes us feel better with ourselves and prepares us or a more sociable period when Venus will be again direct.”
The Moon remains in Libra and squares Pluto in Capricorn until 6:29pm (MST). Libra is ruled by Venus, therefore the energies today, while the Moon is in Libra, may be assisting us as we transition into Venus in Scorpio. Libra Moon expresses emotion in a way that considers the ‘other’; wanting to create harmony and balance in relationship, while Pluto in Capricorn creates necessary transformation and change. We may have strong feelings around what we desire and are challenged to express them as Libra Moon may not want to appear anything other than pleasant. It’s important to express the Truth of any matter while maintaining equilibrium through our emotional expression.
The Moon in Libra opposes Uranus retrograde in Aries for the remainder of the night. This energy is full of the ‘unexpected’ in our relationship experiences. Uranus shocks and create changes with an overall pattern of progressing our lives. Change may be for the better and Libra Moon can facilitate this process with finesse while Uranus in Aries expresses the Self in new and unconventional ways. This time may bring some balance to any situation that may have gotten off kilter during Venus’ retrograde in Scorpio.
The Sun in Sagittarius squares Mars in Pisces at 5:35pm (MST). This is a Mutable square, allowing us to change and release if we are finding we must move on from situations. Sun in Sag is inspired by new perspective and thought. Mars in Pisces expresses strength through imagination, compassion and intuition. It’s important we check our ideas with a sense of whether it is right intuitively. This time can bring up frustrating energies, as Mars is the God of War; but in Pisces, we may simmer and avoid, rather than confront. If we can embrace the optimistic and jovial attitude of Sun in Sag, we may be able to feel less weak or unable to address issues.
Make it a great day!
