WISH UPON A STAR — VENUS IN AQUARIUS — FEBRUARY 1 to 26, 2013
Hello again dear Friends and Readers, this is one of my favorite transits, Venus through Aquarius, and I hope to entertain you with a few good stories as well as help you understand how the transits work in real life. My late Dad was my friend as well as my Dad. One day I thought, “Gee, Dad and I haven’t been out to lunch in a couple of months.” Within 30 seconds the phone rang and Dad said, “Want to go to lunch?” We had a good laugh — these little psychic connections make mundane life much more fun !!! … fast forward about 30 years and my sweetie has the same degree Ascendant as my Dad had his Moon in — 3 degrees Aquarius. One day a few years ago we were driving in town and I thought, “Gee, it would be nice to go out to dinner, we haven’t done that in quite a while.” I ran through the options in my head, Mexican, American, Thai, etc. and I thought Thai sounded good. Before I could even say a word, my sweetie voiced my exact thoughts and we ended up having a very nice meal at the Thai restaurant :)…
So, folks, this is the transit to realize that your thoughts are powerful, they’re creative, and they run on electricity and we are all linked together on what I like to call “the invisible grape-vine”. If you’re folding laundry and your Grandma comes to mind, probably a good idea to call or visit. If you’re at home and your husband is out and you realize you need something from the store, try projecting it first and wait 5 minutes and see if he doesn’t check in with you before he heads home. I think it’s even easier to communicate on the psychic level with girlfriends and/or sisters, and brothers can often do it, too. This is the transit to guess who is on the phone before you pick it up. Try turning a deck of cards and see if you know which one will be next. There’s all kinds of little tricks you can practice. And believe me, these skills will come in very handy if the power goes out and you need to contact a loved one, or some other kind of emergency arises.
In the examples above, I forgot to mention that my Sun is conjunct my late Dad’s Moon and my sweetie’s Ascendant. Naturally, these kinds of conjunctions make it easier to get on the same wave length. I have noticed that I usually feel close to Taurus women, because that is where my Moon is. Also, since my Venus is in Aquarius, I have many wonderful friends who are Aquarian, too. Take inventory of the people in your life and look for those kinds of connections with your own chart. Sun on Moon, Ascendant, Venus, etc. Uranus rules Aquarius and rules electrical systems in the body, along with Mercury. I have a daughter living on the other side of the world and we share a Taurus Moon. I’ll think of her and she will call within just a few minutes, or vice versa. We have proven to ourselves that a mental message can travel thousands of miles in an instant. If only I could figure out how to teleport myself over there for dinner and a visit, and then back home to start my regular day J..… Aquarius, and particularly Venus in Aquarius, is very much about brotherly love, humanitarian love, friendship with great passion and loyalty and this love goes beyond any mundane boundaries of time, space, distance. Love is love…
People who have mostly air and fire planets in their charts are more likely to experience this transit easily and with great benefits. Earth can find Aquarius stimulating but potentially disruptive, so if you have a lot of earth planets, this transit will be easier if you stay flexible and open to innovation. People who have mostly water planets may feel a little put out by friends who don’t show enough sensitivity. I have noticed Venus squares often have to do with difficulty finding agreement about social or cultural matters. For example, a Scorpio is going to prefer a different movie than an Aquarian. A Cancer might disagree with an Aquarian’s choice of restaurant; a Pisces might be a little frustrated with an Aquarian’s musical choices. We Aquarians are not known for our sensitivity; our style is more direct and blunt and we rarely pussy-foot around. We are friendly and we are kind, but I would suggest to you during this transit to SLOW DOWN a bit when suggesting social activities — make some room in the conversation and encourage quieter or more passive people to contribute their wishes and opinions, too.
This transit is fabulous for meetings and gatherings that are not purely social, that have a purpose beyond the pleasure of the moment. Barn-building, quilting-bee energy — could be work-related, charitable, volunteering, community action — cooperation for the greater good is highly favored.
OK, let’s check out the coming transits to Venus in Aquarius this month…On Sunday February 3rd, Venus is semi-sextile (30 degrees) from Neptune. Very good for healing, prayer circles, support groups of all kinds. This transit favors one on one conversations where one trusted friend helps another with a painful or troubling or confusing issue. Sometime just listening helps the other person clear their head.
On the 4th, Moon in Sag sextiles Venus — great for gathering with friends, socializing, maybe discussing world events or philosophy. If you’re a student, this one helps if you study in a small group. On the 6th, Venus is sextile Uranus — sextile means helpful with a little effort or elbow grease required to get the best results. This one is fabulous for psychic communication, both sending and receiving. And if you have a question about your life, reach out to your guides, the invisible ones, for help and you may find the answers come to you in a very surprising way. This transit often symbolizes unexpected good news. Pay attention to your dreams, too, as Mercury conjoins Neptune the same day.
On the 7th Venus trines Jupiter — one of the luckiest transits in astrology. I always tell my clients to make use of these trines, don’t just expect the prize to fall into your lap, though sometimes it DOES. Do something to affirm your dreams and goals. A great day for writing and communication of all kinds, bopping around the neighborhood and connecting with people, receiving information that makes a positive change in your life. This would also be a good day to enter contests, buy a lotto ticket, post items online for sale, or begin some kind of advertising campaign. On the 9th the Moon conjoins Venus — wonderful for gatherings of women, or kindred spirits. A great day for a shower, a party, a special ceremony or service. Really folks, after the kinds of transits we’ve been having since last October, this week is a real positive and it is special — make it count !!! New Moon is late Saturday night.
Monday the 11th is a square between Venus and Saturn. This one can be a pain, an irritation, or something a lot more serious, depending on your individual chart. People might feel sad, or wanting love and affection and not finding it. There can be issues between friends, or between lovers. Hurt feelings. If someone says they will do something and then they blow it off and don’t come through, the could be a deal-breaker in a close relationship. Act with integrity and keep your promises. Better to say no than to say yes and then wish you hadn’t…whatever it is, any misunderstanding could take a few days to straighten out, assuming it’s not terribly serious. Try for a fresh start when Moon in Aries sextiles Venus late on Wednesday the 13th. Sometimes talking a walk with someone helps clear the air…
There’s a bunch of minor but potentially glitchy transits with Venus for the next 2 weeks, culminating in Moon opposition Venus on the 24th-25th. Moon in Leo — ego? Pride? The blame game? Oppositions can go either way — you could achieve a great rapport or find yourself in opposing corners. I don’t see this particular transit as being about male-female relationships, though an individual chart could change that. Unless as a couple, you are arguing about friends and/or social life, I see this as more between parents and children (Leo) or between friends (Aquarius). Remember, too, that it’s the Full Moon is Virgo/Pisces and this can amplify emotions. Be very careful if you’re trying to make a point that it is not interpreted as criticism. Teenagers, in particular, tend to be very defensive. Parents will need to exercise self-discipline. True communication should come from the heart if there’s an issue you feel very strongly about — it will help to remember the ancient words…love is patient, love is kind, love is not puffed up…
Sorry to end the post with a difficult transit, but I didn’t write the book, I only interpret it…Blessings, Jenae
