Venus is in Aquarius so get set to space out. Detached & totally not too clingy is the Zeitgeist and just watch some of those Capricornian relationship ideals get warped by the shift in Venusian paradigm. Out: Convention. In: New modalities. You know what Aquarius is like. And Venus is also whizzing along to an opposition with retro-Mars (late Jan) & then a tryst with Neptune & Chiron in mid-Feb.
First the romantic weirding (especially so far as men are concerned) & then something magical in February. Venus in Aquarius is also, in general, a good time to scheme rad makeovers in beauty & fashion, clearing well of HAIR, given the Mars Retrograde…
Ponce up thy look to be more you, take and give some space & then prep for fascinating love-sex-relationship manifestations…
For the next few days Venus hooks up with Weird Planetary Dudes Uranus & Neptune.
It’s totally too hard to do bourgeois loving. And boy, have you picked the wrong few days to do dinner with in-laws or dutiful shite.
Think of Uranus as more like Prometheus or Promethea and in harmony with Venusian values for a better grip on it. Add the square to Magical Realist Neptune and well, your love life can be v.satisfyingly morphed between now and next week’s Full Moon. It may be morphed overtly (compleat with peeps tut-tutting) or simply a mental segue that is nonethless QUITE the thought-quake experience for you.
It could be something else Venusian -getting suddenly over a past romantic thing, a $$$ realisaton or a rad makeover. Dreams bring good love guidance and it’s no use trying to be conventional. Unless that’s your form of rebellion because you’ve been an insane player all year or something.
Note also that Uranus is zapping out weirding-rays all OVER the place, a bit like Mercury Retrograde, only it’s more affecting love, your nervous system and systems in general. Let your mind run free (excellent fantasizing vibe) but ground your body and run any planned communiques through a sanity-check or at least wait until you have sobered up before bashing the send button.

Eric Traore WAITING FOR THE MOON (AND MARS!) TO BE IN LEO ALREADY!!!!!
Okay so i AM back & have about a billion things i want to blog about BUT due to that STRANGE night last night, utterly stricken with ennui – two hours sleep max, I reckon. Ridiculous. Interesting that heaps of you are reporting similar scenarios. The Moon WAS conjunct Mars and I think Mars has had a gutsful of being in Cancer, I really do.
I am going to go to sleep now & hopefully emerge in a blur of brilliance later. But subscribers – try to grok what i said in the Daily Mystic this morning re Venus this week! IT really is a shockwave of Venusian activity & tomorrow is Mars + Venus both aspecting Saturn so seriously sophisticated and worldly love/sex realisations. On the sober, Saturn Girl end of things but definitely worth honouring.
Dark Moon near Mars is now VOID – bloody hell. I am going to follow my own advice and ‘down tools’ till it’s non-Void and into Leo…
Oh and i read a funny line today that makes me think of Mercury in Aries or anything in Sagg; “Everyone is entitled to my opinion.”
Moon into Leo aka When The Spaz Lifts:
L.A – 23.03 Sunday Night
New York - 2.03 Monday Morning
London – 7.03 Monday Morning
Sydney – 16.03 Monday Arvo
Today is the Ancient Roman worship day of Fortuna Redux – goddess of successful journeys and safe returns!
Fortuna is from whom we get the term Lady Luck & the Pars Fortunae (Part Of Fortune) in your chart is where you are traditionally fortunate! There are articles on it here and here & you can bung it easily into your chart using Astrodienst’s Extended Chart Options. It’s an Arabic Part & thus from a different school of astro – there are dozens of these so-called Arabic Parts; The Part of Fascination, the Part Of Treachery, The Part Of Karma etc. Deeply interesting but maddening to the person setting out to learn about astrology, which is why i so rarely go on about them.
BUT, for a good time (if you are an aspiring Astro-Fiend) have a look at your Part of Fortune & the House that it is in + any major and tight-orb aspects that it makes. To also Do: Compare it with Jupiter – the official “benefic” of the planetary pow-pow, along with our lady Venus. A Part Of Fortune hitting on Jupiter and/or Venus would be officially brill. Think also of transits involving this lot as being when you ponce out to try on some new biz.
And yes, I am back and i had a successful journey thank you so much!
I think that with heartbreak, just like childbirth, that you forget the pain….
True, False or Way, WAY too complicated for such a trite simplification?
And, I mean the heartbreak of a romance ending or even just thwarted lust, not heartbreak resulting from atrocity or tragedy.
Then again, I have Venus (heart, love, romance) in Mutable Pisces so maybe THAT does the trick? Whereas Venus in – say – Kataka might not only not forget but actually double-back to poke at the bruise a bit. Venus in Aries probably wouldn’t even admit that there WAS a break or a bruise. Venus in Taurus would have the whole thing documented.
There would SO be a paper trail with blame properly apportioned and stuff divvied up…These are just off the top of my head. Please don’t take offence or nark off at me that your Venus sign is demonstrably the sanest bit of planetary woo-woo this side of the Milky Way.
Okay – your Venus Sign and whether you think heartbreak is like childbirth and that you forget the pain…Or NOT.
I know some of you don’t like Celeb Fluff posts but they actually are a fab way of deepening one’s astro knowledge, they really are.
I was just reading that Kayne West disrupted the MTV Awards when Taylor Swift was making her acceptance speech. His point was that Beyonce was better, basically. This would have mortified Beyonce – she is a Virgo. And, in fact, she made a brilliant gesture by later getting Ms Swift back to finish what she was going to say…
Kayne West is a Gemini & whilst i love his music & thoughts on Deja Vu, Geminis can be cruel/thoughtless anti-people. Seriously, they just say stuff. A la the Australian d.j. Kyle Sandilands. They go for the wit, sans empathy.
My theory is that West wasn’t so much sticking up for Beyonce as annoyed by his new girlfriend, Amber Rose, hogging all the attention. She has been strutting about in catsuits and silver contact lenses. She’s a madly Multiple Conjunct Libra: Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Pluto all in Libra…That’s mega-Venusian. That Saturn is about to go over the whole lot means we’ll prob be hearing way more of her…
Beyonce loves astrology, reportedly; this is her song about being in love with a Sagittarian guy.
“Dear Mystic,
Is there an astro for bad hair karma? I’ve just had the fourth crap hair cut this year:
1. Nervous, shaky apprentice fries my hair (and himself!) by over-straightening to get a more precise cut. My hair is straight!
2. What was to be a ‘long bob’ to the shoulders (to clean up fried ends) ended up as an Austrian mullet!!! I’m beginning to suspect ‘Bruno’ is a documentary.
3. Ok, Three did an decent job but it didn’t improve the ‘look’ much.
4. Now, who says ‘Ok, you’re trying to grow it long. That’s difficult’ and then goes an cuts three months growth off???!?!?!?
Have Venus in Leo. Also wondering if Mercury owns scissors……
Cheers,
The Bad-Haired Virgo “
Dear Bad-Haired Virgo,
Oh how I sympathise. Especially hell for Venus in Leo. First of all, in my Astroscape Books (the 2009 one and the 2010 one which is on sale from next Tues – see link to the left) I detail the GOOD Hair Moons and the BAD Hair Moons. You basically only get it trimmed during a waxing Moon if you want it to grow and get yourself waxed during the moonwane to discourage hair growth. I had a hell hair year a few years ago when this idiot both razor cut it (my hair is totally fine like a babies) and then bleached the shit out of it. I actually got really used to people asking what had happened to my hair and so now, when people say NICE things about my hair, my eyes well up with tears. I know. This sounds really trivial but still.
Anyway, if you are in Sydney, e-mail me for my hairdressers details – she not only listens – she is psychic and affordable too. Obey the Hair Moon rules & maybe your Venus in Leo is being squared by Neptune so you need to be extra careful that you are not deceived in Venusian matters. And nobody should ever say “difficult” for things like hair growth. It’s annoying and negative. I have a client who does things like cardio-thoracic surgery in war zones and she deliberately uses words such as “tricky” or “a bit challenging for the moment.”
Oh and I don’t care what anyone says, hair SO responds to nutrition so consider seeing my psychic hairdresser or a simple barber (they listen and if you say trim 1/4 millimetre off the ends – they’ll do it, no patronising) AND a professional to zoosh up nutrition…fishy oils & quality protein, silica etc. Don’t you think???
Oh well, at least the planet LOOKS good…But guess what? If you are a member of the Uranus-Venus Club - that is, your Venus is between 22 and 29 degrees of ANYTHING but especially a Mutable Sign such as Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, Saggo – you are having a Saturn-Venus transit as WELL as Uranus Venus.
Uranus-Venus is weird yet emancipating & youthifying- see the above link for a rant re THAT. Saturn-Venus is a tad more sombre, obviously. I am having it at the moment and there is an infuriating nostalgia. Not the wisteria infused nostalgia of Neptune nor even the oh-my-godding of a Uranian flash. It’s just Saturn so more like a forensic analysis – totally unbidden – and recognition of long term patterns or themes in all relationships. Saturn telling Venus to shape up, be mature etc. Yick!
But Saturn is trundling along quite quickly now & so if Saturn has crashed your Uranus-Venus club, the ’stock-taking’ sober-socks phase of your love life is done by November & you are left with just Uranus zinging about.
The Peachblossom Remedy is one of the most notorious in Feng Shui.
Why? Because it’s tremendously effective at attracting love/lust but you really should not set it up sans having a proper Feng Shui consult first. Also, it is renowned for bringing in suitors but not necessarily what my Feng Shui Master calls a “quality relationship.” And it’s probably best to also ensure your bed direction is correct as well. So whilst I totally get all this and recommend peeps fix all the Feng Shui/geomancy/uncluttering before activating this, the Peachblossom Remedy is helpfully online here.
If anyone wants to give it a bash & then blog it in the comments stream, it would be VERY interesting. I put mine up the other month but had to take it down I was too busy to deal with the phone calls & requests for “dates.” It totally works but that “quality” provisio is accurate. I love Feng Shui. I often muse about doing a service where I go to someone’s house and skilfully unclutter etc it for them but nobody would let me be ruthless enough, I know it.
Another interesting romance ritual to do is to get the moment of your Venus Return – it is like Saturn Return but much more common and pleasurable. Your Venus Return is when Venus – Goddess of Love, Beauty, Sexual Rapture et al – gets to the same position she was at when you were born. You light a pink candle & do various other things. But you need to either be an astro-fiend, an ephemeris whiz or get an Astro-Query to figure it. If you want to meet someone amazing, it’s a fantastic date to go out on. Sunrise on a Friday is also lucky lovewise and good for Venus Rituals if you don’t know your Venus Return date AND when Mars is on your Venus – about once every two years as well.
