Daily Mystic for Monday 20 February

Love and beauty goddess Venus arrives in Aries today – for 26 days of extra-Amazonian relating and creating.

This phase will suit a more proactive approach toward intimacy, finding a mate – if you want one, style and art.

Wear red for extra pulling power and, think about this: Mars – the ruler of Aries – has been in Gemini for ages. Venus is the classic companion of Mars and her placement in Aries has a sense of ‘enough with the faffing about.’

Between now and March 17 just watch the ultimatums flying about. Bluffs and relationship spin to cover the lack of substance are done. Venus in Aries is not comfortable dwelling in maybe-land and she’s allergic to manipulative gambits.

Besides, in the lead-up to the epochal shift of Pluto in Aquarius, who actually has the time for flimsy friendships, let alone love affairs?

Here are the most useful Venus in Aries dates: 

Feb 24 to 26: Venus trine Lilith.

This Aries-Leo synergy is fantastic for strong sex or style statements. It also previews the three-part Venus-Lilith conjunction that will occur from June onward. More on that later but attractions and illuminations over Feb 24 to 26 are significant.

Feb 25 to 28: Venus conjunct Vesta. 

See Vesta as the creative flame and Venus as helping to shield it – aka help to provide whatever is neccessary. This sounds a bit metaphysical but Venus is an attractant so this is a brilliant portal for getting more funding, space, backing etc. And with Venus in Aries, people want to be wowed. They’re less resistant to direct requests…or commands.

March 1 to 5: Venus conjunct Jupiter + Chiron.

This is an excellent time to set the scene for March and April expansion. It’s lucky – especially from March 1 to 3 and could well see the fruition or development of schemes and dreams from June 2022. Venus-Jupiter is always a good time to push your luck or flaunt a little bit of extra.

March 10 to 13: Venus sextile Mars. 

This is the pedal-to-the-metal ‘coming or not’ ultimatum time and its a feisty ‘meet-cute’ moment. It’s an astral vibe that will reward panache and audacity. If you’re up for finding a new lover, think boxing, debating and competitive pursuits.

March 16 to 18: Venus square Pluto. 

This is part of the weirder mid-March config so while it can spring extraordinary Venusian phenoms – coup de foudre love at first sight zaps, outrageous synchronicity, re-encountering people you thought you’d never see again – it’s too wild for any specific suggestions.

And it certainly won’t suit risk-taking or entering the online dating arena without a hazmat suit.

If you want to rev up your look or shed the remnants of yesteryear’s hair, clothes, vibe etc – March 1 to 3 is absolutely your go.
