cover_3Having Saturn transitting one’s Venus is like being stalked by a scary life coach. If your Venus is between 18 and 26 degrees of a Mutable sign, you’re having a Saturn-Venus transit. Or 18 to 26 of anything but especially the Mutable. It’s very similar if Saturn is aspecting your Ascendent  or Descendent.  Or transitting (I so nearly typed transhitting) your 5th or 7th House.

So my Venus – this is just to illustrate- is at 22 Pisces and trine Neptune in Scorpio. Venus in Pisces peeps are already prone to romanticise – having it trine Neptune is just the icing. So the other day I’m walking out of the gym and my mind meanders to the stupid Uranian & his devastating combo of black hair/blue eyes & how charming he can be when not off his face. Venus-Neptune v.quickly took me to a point where I was thinking how my Saturn his on his North Node and that maybe it is my destiny to sort his life out or something like that.

Suddenly I swear I practically heard the voice of Saturn; ‘get a fuqing grip, don’t date men who are beneath you.’  Now Venus in Pisces is about universal compassion and she certainly doesn’t think people are beneath you. But Saturn is all about setting standards and having the self-control to stick to them. Venus in Pisces never lets go of an ex. She drops them – yes- and usually for someone else but then Venus in Pisces doubles-back & re-idealizes the Ex, just for kicks. It gets Venus in Pisces peeps (Venus-Neptune is similar) a bad reputation but they don’t mean to be manipulative.

Venus in Pisces/12th House/aspecting Neptune has another core competency – apart from compassion and forgiveness; the ability to imbue anyone she considers hot with enormous spiritual qualities & a sense of fate being at play. This is apt for men with the Venus set up as well – i say she as we are talking about Venus here. Men with Venus in Pisces/12th house/aspecting Neptune are usually v.aware of the Madonna-Ho complex. They live there, lol.

So if you’ve got Saturn on your case – right now the Taskmaster is at 20 degrees of Virgo – remember that he is just doing his job & that the sooner you set up some boundaries and enforce them + work about ten times harder than would seem appropriate, the Saturnine stress dissipates & cop the rewards: Health, Wealth & Wisdom.

Lilith, 1892, by John Collier

Venus squares Pluto this Friday, but building now – already a perfectly sexy & heated troublesome little power-trippy sexual politiking of an aspect, no? But it’s complicated by Dark Moon Lilith also being conjunct Pluto this week. The mythological Lilith was demonised (literally) by the Christians. Yonks ago she was a Babylonian Snake Goddess & then she winds up as Adam’s First Wife & then the Snake in the Garden of Eden. Etc.

The astrological Lilith is interpreted differently by various peeps. I love this quote – in Astrodienst’s Astro-Wiki – from a Kocku Von Struckard:

” Lilith embodies the presence of an archaic form of feminine strength that ignores any patriarchal discourse of power and dominance and allies itself with those forces that affirm life itself.”

People used to say Lilith in your chart was where you were a difficult ‘bitch’ who had probs aligning herself to societal standards. Others say it’s where you’re fabulous & wild, women running with the wolves et al. I have phases where I track & analyze Lilith a lot. Usually when I’m on a Wiccan sort of a jag. I do think Lilith is fascinating in synastry: If your Lilith is strongly placed on someone’s Moon/Venus, he/she projects an awful lot onto you. You could look at a man (heterosexual) and his Moon-Venus-Lilith placements & be able to neatly delineate any Madonna-Whore complexes. Maybe not over dinner out or even to his face.

Anyway, with Lilith/Pluto being squared by Venus this week, there is a lot of sexual power undertow to all relationships. Covert or  not. And feminine anger too. I mean, Venus is in Aries…remember.
