Venus: Busy as Hell

Venus (Libra) trine Jupiter (Aquarius), quincunx Neptune (Pisces), square Pluto(Capricorn), opposing Eris(Aries)

Now is a time to follow your heart’s directive. All that you value, especially in how you relate, and in your relationships are being shown new perspectives. Your “tried and true” ways of how you express your values and affections are being shaken up through new relational opportunities. This can also show up in new, or expanding business opportunities. You may find yourself having to cut losses and/or relationships to gain the opportunities you see ahead for yourself.

You may find all that you hold dear, your ideals, or your money slipping through your fingers, or perhaps seeming never-ending obscure, evasive happenings or people keeping you from finding what you want. Trust your inspirations and enthusiasm for whatever goals you have, and let go of anything that seems too good to be true, and people who promise too much. You probably can see possibilities ahead very clearly. As clear as you may see them, keep your feet on the ground, and don’t count your proverbial chickens before they hatch.

Whatever challenging situations or people you may be facing, the bottom line is about power and security. What are you giving up? What are you feeling controlled by? The lesson is about exercising your own power. Your own security comes through being true to yourself and putting your values out into the world. Every step you take in this direction you build up power and respect. This is a time for expanding your power, and gaining inner and outer riches. Can you express your power without compromising anyone else, however subtly?

Where in your life are you feeling left out or forgotten, or being confronted by those who feel that way? What have you ignored in yourself? In others? To the degree you ignore aspects of yourself, you will inexplicably feel resentment, as you would if someone actively ignored you. Who do you shun? Do you shun certain aspects within yourself? If so, it is because you want to appear a certain way—to yourself, and the world. The steps you take to embrace what is unpleasant is healing. To the degree you heal these aspects you will feel more power. When one faces oneself, life will become, in a sense, harder, yet more abundant and meaningful.
