WISH UPON A STAR — VENUS IN PISCES — 2-26 — 3-21-2013
Hello dear Friends and Readers, now that Venus has entered Pisces that gives us 5, yes 5, planets in Pisces until the Spring Equinox March 20-21 depending on your time zone. AND, Mercury is retrograde, you’re probably noticing it by now…with Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Neptune all transiting through Pisces, it would be a good thing for you to note which house in your chart has Pisces on the cusp. We all have Pisces somewhere in our chart and often in 2 houses depending on the degree of the cusp. Pisces is very much about our spiritual aspiration and matters of conscience, so it’s important to be honest with yourself as well as other people, particularly now. If you feel ambivalent, then say so, don’t push yourself into a premature decision that you may regret later.
The mutable signs ( Gemini/Virgo/Sag) are going to be feeling the heat, especially since transiting Jupiter in Gemini is making squares to the Pisces planets, except for Neptune which has already happened and won’t come around again for approximately 12 years. Please try to slow down and doublecheck yourself, looking for mistakes in communication, paperwork, electrical matters, travel, transportation, etc. Virgo would be taking the oppositions — this could be a mystery involving someone close, someone you’re trying to figure out. Remember, too, that these are the health signs, so paying attention to your health is important right now. One more Virgo possibility would be issues with co-workers. The negative side of all this Pisces energy could be passive-aggressive behavior, avoid all behind the scenes gossip, rumors, innuendo. The people who participate in less than honest communication and behavior will pay penalties for it later. For Pisces natives, Happy Birthday!! You will be very busy for sure!! The positive side of such a concentration of Pisces energy is a sincere desire to help the planet, or animals, or people who are hurting. If you ask the Universe each morning, “OK Universe, where do you want me?” you will be guided to some amazing and very wonderful experiences. These could be spiritual or mundane, and really there is no difference. Be prepared for guidance through your dreams and meditations. Those of you who are creative could produce some very special art, music, writing, dance, photography, etc. Pisces people will do best during the next few weeks by allowing themselves some alone time each and every day for creativity. Your centers are so wide open right now that you may need to protect yourself from negative emotions radiating off of people. Learn how to clear yourself, through will, through affirmation, and a shower is a great help, too…
Pisces people may be working through something from the past, old hurts or trauma. Pisces can emerge from these transits stronger (Mars), clearer (Mercury), more at peace through forgiveness and letting go of pain (Venus and Neptune). When Venus is in our Sun sign, people are usually kind and remark often how beautiful you are — it’s because you are letting your inner light shine forth and being your true self. If Mercury wasn’t retro I’d suggest you go shopping when Venus conjoins your Sun. Keep your purchases on the small side in case you change your mind — yes, I hear you, one pair of shoes or a pedicure would be OK :)) … This year just isn’t the right transits for major shopping, Pisces, unless you have good Venus transits from March 17th to 21st.
The other water signs, Cancer and Scorpio, should be feeling very much in the flow — good sense of intuition, timing, when to reconsider and when to approach the people in their lives. They should also be blossoming in their understanding of how to apply metaphysical principles to everyday life. Enjoy these Pisces trines now because the energy changes to Aries in late March…
The other earth signs, Taurus and Capricorn will be taking sextiles from the Pisces transits. A sextile means opportunity with some elbow grease required to maximize the positive potential. My impression is that the practical, down the earth nature of these signs will be softened by the Pisces energy and they can be more aware and appreciate the intangibles in life. With business deals, a good decision will FEEL right and you will know it. All parties involved need to benefit and if you have to make some concessions, you will KNOW that you are creating good karma for yourself. The items you need and imagine can appear in your life almost magically, so make your wish list. This is a great period to let some culture into your life — music, movies, tour the art museum, etc. Water benefits earth — it helps the garden grow :)) Grow some sprouts at home so you know they are safe and add them to your salads for an early spring tonic… If you have houseplants, this is a great time to mist them with a small amount of liquid food in the water — the Sun is beginning to return to the north and the plants are waking up and ready to be fed :))…
Leo and Libra people will take inconjunct (150*) transits from the Pisces planets. Always ask yourself first, with an inconjunct transit, who owns the problem? People can try to guilt-trip you into committing your time and energy to help them and it isn’t even your issue. Doublecheck yourself and make sure it isn’t you who is unconsciously inviting these inconvenient requests. Inconjuncts usually manifest at work and since Mercury is retro, be sure and ask astute questions to clarify the issues BEFORE you make your decision. If someone you love is hurting, of course you’re going to help them, but the point here is to help in a way that makes the person able to meet their own ordeal, helps them be stronger, not weaker. Sometimes if we charge in on the white horse, it weakens the person because they need to learn new skills and we rob them of that opportunity.
Aries and Aquarius people experience very mild, but helpful semi-sextile transits from Pisces planets for the next few weeks. These are 30 degree transits and use a tight orb, no more than 2 degrees. For Aries people, their usual vitality may be a little lower since it’s not quite their BDay yet. They like action and yet these Pisces transits are encouraging planning and preparation BEFORE plunging into action next month. This would be a great period to begin strengthening your body, getting some exercise but MODERATION is a must at this time and watch your feet! If you are spacey, not your usual alert self, you could trip over something. Wear shoes appropriate for your activities and consider getting shoes repaired in advance of more action starting late March. These same suggestions would also apply to your pet. I know an Aries man who hikes with goats — his “Kids” — they need to get ready for the hiking season, too, after lounging around in the winter. Pay attention to your pets’ feet…
I know another Aries man who is determined to order a large amount of building materials while Mercury is retro… I mentioned to his wife that maybe she could get him to hold off for a few weeks but she said he wouldn’t listen. This is NOT the period to begin NEW projects, better to plan and doublecheck and do more research now.
Aquarians are also taking the semi-sextiles from Pisces but they’ve already had their BDay so their vitality is good. This is the time to move forward in small ways only and all the doublecheck for errors advice still applies to all of us. Since I am an Aquarian, I’ve been careful to doublecheck all the data for my clients, including correct addresses and phone numbers. I’ve spent a lot of time on the phone lately, both friends and clients. I’ve been clearing up loose ends on old cleaning and organizing projects and tentatively planning my schedule for March and April but staying pretty flexible and waiting for more information on a couple of larger projects and trips coming up after Mercury goes forward. I find myself being sensitive to the subtle clues that are there to guide my days — if I run into opposition I don’t push the river. I have some new subjects I want to write about and also some sewing projects lined up for the next few weeks, but I find myself waiting for it to really gel in my mind before I begin. I’ve had a few whopper dreams but once I got over the emotion of them I found some clues to help my family. I’ll be writing the Moon signs on the calendar for gardening season and starting seeds at the right time is a priority for me. My treat for getting work and chores done is to go outside and get the soil ready and feed the perennials. Naturally, other Aquarians would have different lives, activities and goals, but distill it down and this stands out — keep things simple and flexible for now and leave space in your schedules for new opportunities and people who want to connect with you…
That’s it for now…best wishes, Jenae

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
VENUS IN CAPRICORN — JANUARY 9 — FEBRUARY 2, 2013

VENUS IN CAPRICORN — JANUARY 9 — FEBRUARY 2, 2013
Good Evening, dear Friends and Readers, tonight we’ll explore the Venus in Cap transits. All you Capricorns out there — Cap Sun, Moon, and Ascendant, too, you have the best transits of the year for personal shopping, beautification, and transformation. Mercury is forward so it’s all systems go for a major purchase if you need one. Some of you may be making beneficial changes in career, even starting or expanding your own business. There are some very helpful planet positions to help you achieve a large and serious goal. Pluto is also in Capricorn and running sextile to Saturn in Scorpio, the ruler of Capricorn. Caps are famous for wanting quality as opposed to quantity, so make your purchases count toward long-term goals and needs, rather than the impulsive shopping of the moment. Think substantial rather than trivial. Transform your office, whether at home or at work. It’s a great time to upgrade the tools you need; Mars in Aquarius is mildly helpful if you need new technology. Mercury in Cap is favorable if you need a new approach to paperwork and it’s also a good day on Friday the New Moon on the 11th to approach the boss for a favorable reception.
When Venus is in our Sun sign or in our 1st house, people tend to be kindly disposed toward us. You may receive unexpected favors, gifts, little treats that make life sweet. Those of you with this position should consider creating beauty in your life. Starting with the physical, it’s a great time to start a self-improvement program for better health and beauty. Exercise for flexibility, take care of your teeth and get good dental care, add something pretty to your office and dress for success. Good grooming counts this month as you will be attracting more attention than usual. On the mental level, it will be easier to be gracious to others and make amends if you’ve had a recent disagreement with someone. Beautiful speech as well as beautiful penmanship can aid you in getting your point across. By beautiful, I don’t mean flowery phrases, I mean kind and thoughtful words. Send a card if you’re not sure what to say. On the emotional level, this period is very special when dealing with seniors. A GREAT time to visit or call elderly relatives, neighbors, people who could benefit from a visit. Those of you who have major Cancer planets can also interact with seniors. Consider recording the family history and stories they know because you will have something priceless to share later with the younger generations.
It’s just as important to be patient and kind to YOURSELF. I know one Cap who is currently taking a well-deserved vacation in the sun, and another who is about to go skiing. Not all Caps are going on vacation; some of them will be using Venus to make progress in career and relationships. IF you happen to be in promotions and marketing, you could be exceptionally clever with a new idea or even a small gadget to promote a business. One of the cutest pens I ever saw had a cow on top of it — it was for a really good steakhouse 🙂 Being kind to yourself can mean that you forgive yourself. All of us have done things we regret. You see people all the time who wrap their regrets around them like their favorite old sweater; they haven’t truly forgiven themselves and they are using that as an excuse for failure or as an excuse for not moving forward in their life. We’ve all been there…all it achieves is feeling stuck and stagnating, and on this earth, in THIS SCHOOL, if we’re not moving forward we’re moving backwards. Venus and Pluto can help you break the chains…
People with a lot of planets in Aries and Libra may find this month a bit more challenging than other times. It’s not a walk in the park, but there can be rewards for focused work and mature behavior. With Cancers, it’s more of a mixed bag because oppositions can be either positive or negative. I know one Cancer with Cap in her 6th and very positive things are happening re: career. Things that have already been earned, have been in the works for a long time…
It’s important to remember that the Capricorn energy tends to bring the goodies after we have already earned them. That’s why Capricorn is the sign that rules the elderly; the older we get the easier it is to achieve the positive expression of this sign — big accomplishments, expertise, recognition for our contributions, more financial security, etc.
People with a lot of planets in earth and water signs should be doing pretty well this month. The Capricorn transits are either trine or sextile. I think it will be the hardest to figure out all the details for people with a lot of Gemini and/or Leo planets because for them the Capricorn transits will be inconjunct — lots of little problems you can get sucked into unless you first ask yourself “Who owns the problem?” Once you’ve decided who bears the real responsibility, then you can figure out if you need to help, if you want to help, if you want to pass, etc. All of the above are options — keep an open mind while you determine the best solution. Inconjuncts tend to come out in the workplace, but there are always exceptions, like a family member who is a master at guilt-tripping the relatives. People with a lot of planets in either Sag or Aquarius have mild but helpful transits from Capricorn. Pretty good for making slight adjustments in your daily routine to make more time for spiritual matters — contemplation, meditation, study, etc.
Looking for major Venus transits during this period, January 12-13 sees Venus square Uranus in Aries. That’s this weekend. Maybe there’s little too much excitement? Like plans getting changed at the last minute? Best to stay flexible and not attached to any certain outcome or agenda…
Venus is conjunct Pluto in Cap on January 16-17. All the other transits around that time are quite pleasant with the exception of the Moon in Aries in square to Cap. SO I think it will be a favorable period for all the activities mentioned above, with the one exception being it is not a good time to overdo with exercise. If you pull a muscle or take a fall, it will set you back way beyond the moment, so don’t take on more than you can do just because someone might challenge you. I would avoid PT and exercise and sports coaches for those two days. They’re not inside your body and YOU know better what you own limitations are…
Full Moon is January 26-28 and during that time there are some minor transits involving Venus and the Moon, Jupiter and Chiron. I don’t think these are strong enough to cause problems but it would be helpful to doublecheck all social plans — time, date, place, etc. because there could be some minor glitches. Mostly I feel that some people will experience disappointment because they wanted to talk to the friend and tell them stuff that they were having to deal with recently, and the friend is self-absorbed and not open to listening well or helping as a friend should. If this is a true friend, there will be a better time for you to tell them what’s on your mind. If this is a “friend” who is this way a LOT, then you may decide to pull back a bit if the friendship doesn’t seem fair. There doesn’t need to be a big confrontation, and particularly so on the Full Moon. Venus in Aquarius, the sign that rules friendships, indicates you’ll have a better time to get clear communication before February 23rd ( Mercury retrograde again…)
You may have read this post and thought, where are all the exact transits, Jenae? The strength of January is not in exact transits, it’s in the fact that the Sun, Mercury, and Pluto are concurrently in Capricorn, plus Pluto is in very helpful sextile to Saturn. An abundance of Cap energy, if you will. It’s a good month to get a lot done. Any babies born this month will be little power-houses, magnificently able to bring things into physical manifestation……Blessings, Jenae
