WISH UPON A STAR — VENUS IN ARIES — MARCH 21 — APRIL 15, 2013
Back again, dear Friends and Readers…the days just roar by, literally, it’s been so windy I wondered if the power would go out, but so far so good….and now Venus is entering Aries for a 3 week transit. Of course, this is very beneficial for people with strong Aries in their charts. Venus is Aries is also helpful to the other fire signs, Leo and Sag. Geminis and Aquarians get the sextile which is a positive. Libra gets the opposition, and combined with Pluto in Cap, the Aries transits create a T-Square transit with means a lot of energy is impelled and expressed through the empty sign — in this case Cancer. So people with strong Libra placements could find the next week or so fairly challenging, less so as the Sun progresses further in Aries. People with strong placements in Cancer and Capricorn are taking the square from transiting Aries planets — challenging, and again, more so in the early part of this forecast. Cardinal signs could be working very hard and getting a LOT accomplished — squares can be positive, too !! Scorpio and Virgo get the inconjunct — a symbol of those sticky situations that are hard to sort out. Don’t get sucked into thinking you have to solve every problem that might really belong to someone else. Let your conscience be your guide. Pisces and Taurus take the 30 degree semi-sextile, very mild and subtle. The interpretation could change A LOT if you know your chart and have natal planets in Aries; then there would be a lot more overt activity going on.
Anyway, Venus is the “attract it to you” energy. Mars is the “go out and get it, go after it” energy. Mars is the ruler of Aries, so Venus in this sign is not always comfortable. Venus in Aries women are usually not traditional. Every single woman I ever knew with Aries strong in her chart was good with cars, with tools, with remodeling homes, and they understand guys better than a lot of other signs. They’re kind of brassy, ballsy — more aggressive than most women, good muscles and they thrive on sports and physical challenges. You won’t often find them with artificial nails and a frilly wardrobe. They’re usually pretty good at flirting and letting a guy know they’re interested in getting to know him better.
So, looking at this Venus in Aries transit, you have an opportunity to get more exercise as a path to health and beauty. You have an opportunity to try new activities, meet new people, to take the initiative, to grow. The glyph for Aries is called the Ram’s Horns by some but to me it is the power of the seed pushing its way up out of the ground to the sunlight. With so much voltage in the air ( so many planets in Aries), you won’t have any lack of initiative but you might need to moderate yourself a bit. If you are too impulsive and lack sensitivity to others, you won’t gather the support you want and need. What you think is just a spirited and stimulating conversation could be perceived as a fight. So do remember that Venus by its very nature is receptive — allow yourself to be receptive to others even while you’re out there conquering the world :))…
This transit is fabulous for art involving fire, heat, and/or metals. Pottery, ornamental iron, glass-blowing — just a few examples. I know a guy who has a Venus-Mars conjunction in Aries and he’s a great welder. He also loves hunting and fishing. Since he has that artistic conjunction, he was hungry to do more than weld farm equipment. He started making gun safes and THEN he started carving gun stocks — beautiful scrimshaw designs where it has to be perfect. And he was truly an artist in his work with guns. Note that Aries people are often very adept with sharp tools — surgeons, carvers, butchers, and artists, too….
OK, let’s looks at some of the Venus in Aries transits coming up shortly…I’m posting the exact day of the transits, but you should also allow a day on either side of the exact time, to allow for orb. The Full Moon is March 27th and the Libra Moon will oppose Venus as well as the Sun. Handle the female relationships in your life carefully. Things could fly off the handle too easily now. Think of teenage daughters around 13- 17 years’ old. Well, all of us have a teenager still inside us somewhere J). People around you may not be totally rational.
The very next day. March 28th exact, and the 29th, Venus conjoins the Sun AND Uranus at 7 and 8 degrees Aries. This is pretty interesting, don’t you think? The planet of love combining with the planet of the unexpected, the intuitive and speedy Uranus, also joining with the Sun. Love is certainly in the air :)) With Uranus, sometimes it’s a brief relationship, a catalyst that helps us grow, though what we learn may stay with us for years, sometimes the person is not meant to walk off into the sunset WITH us… This triple conjunction — powerful, YES !!! Stable, NO !!! Fabulous for the arts and inspiration — creativity comes in many forms…
SO enjoy the dance, protect yourself a bit, and see what happens with your love after this transit passes… The same thing with beauty — please forgo anything too radical in the tattoo department because you could easily change your mind once this transit passes. Clothes are fine — they’re not permanent like tattoos or cosmetic surgery.
Spiritually, this year it’s Good Friday heading into Easter. What a beautiful conjunction to gather with kindred spirits and celebrate the miracle. VERY uplifting !!! Seek beauty for therein lies Eternal Truth…you go to church to go to church, but these transits could mean love finds YOU at church :))
Continuing with this theme of love, art, and beauty — getting outdoors is highly recommended when Venus is in Aries. The beauty of nature may inspire you in new ways. On April 7th there is an exact conjunction of Venus and Mars. See the Mars in Aries post for more details. The New Moon in Aries is April 10th — that means both Sun and Moon in Aries and Venus will also conjoin the Moon. Usually, in a woman’s chart, Venus on the Moon means lunch with the ladies, or some kind of party. You could give a party with these transits, or attend a party to celebrate an event — wedding, anniversary, baby shower, new home, etc. I could be wrong — maybe it’s just a party to have a party — there doesn’t have to be a reason to gather and have some fun…
In a man’s chart Venus on the Moon would be emphasizing his relationship with females — Moms, daughters, sisters, wife, etc. The beauty theme might express as building something or some kind of home project. Landscaping, yard work, or getting the patio ready for the season would fit, too. I had a client a long time ago and he had 8 daughters — yes, he had Jupiter on his Moon J) Can’t remember what sign, probably Leo :)) An abundance of children… I knew another male client who had 4 sisters and he had Jupiter on his Moon in Cancer…an abundance of family…
On April 14th, Venus will be at the 29th degree of Aries and semi-square Jupiter in Gemini. Use some caution and moderation with driving, sports, physical activities in general. AND CONVERSATIONS — take the long-range view and don’t get sucked into the heat of the moment. There’s a pressure and an intensity when a planet reaches 29 degrees because there’s nowhere to go but into 0 degrees of the next sign. Kind of like taking a final exam before moving on to the next grade or class. Be sensible…
Well, that’s it for now…stayed tuned…Blessings, Jenae
