As we are currently floating in Water
World, today through tomorrow, I'm being pinged to write about Venus
in Capricorn as she inches closer and closer to a square with Uranus
in Aries and conjunction with Pluto in Capricorn. She will also
sextile all our mess in Scorpio (has already past her sextile with
Mercury).
The square with Uranus in Aries occurs
at 8:13 PM on November the 14th. Then, she conjuncts Pluto
in Capricorn on November the 15th at 4:29 PM. She sextiles
Saturn on November 23rd at 1:46 PM and that's when things
really start to get real in matters of Venus (via Rx venus sextiles
Saturn again on Jan. 11, 2014 and direct on Feb. 25th). A sextile is
supportive and it would be smart to use that energy because she will
square Saturn from Aquarius which is a considerably “less nice”
aspect. However, this story started unfolding LOOOONG before we ever
got here.
Lets think back to Saturn in Libra time
(which was another Venus/Saturn contact). This transit had many
purposes. So, it would be nearly impossible to delineate them all in
one article. But, primarily, I believe it was meant to teach us how
to structure (Saturn) our relationships (Venus) and values (Venus).
This means ALL our relationships and values. Lots of people like to
boil Venus down to love or money. And, on the surface, that makes
sense because many people value love and money. However, Venus is
much more than that and any beginner level Astrology Student has this
inkling. For the purpose of this writing, I'm going to focus on the
relationship aspect of Venus which includes our relationships with
others (friend or foe), with money, with our own values, with the
terms justice and fairness, etc. That, in and of itself, is a fairly
wide brush stroke which is why I want you to personally think back to
what occurred during Saturn in Libra (2009-2012) for you in regard to
relationships. Then, I want you to consider what went forward and
what you changed as Saturn entered Scorpio (2012 to now).
In day to day life, we have a tendency
to take transits as they occur. For example, today Moon is in Pisces
trining Mercury and conjunct Neptune. So, we may look at that and
say, “Ok, this, this and this is possible.” However, even though
life does happen on a day to day basis, all that is before us and all
that is behind us is still connected. In order to get a perspective
how this stuff plays out in the theater of our lives, it's necessary
to see that.
Saturn in Libra occurred to bring
restriction and/or structure in our primary relationships with
EVERYTHING. Then, Saturn in Scorpio comes along to place restriction
and/or structure on an even deeper level in terms of intimacy, sex,
our shadow and shared resources. If we worked with Saturn in Libra
and “got” what Saturn was saying during his stay there then
moving up one zodiac sign to Scorpio will bring even more
lessons...like the next chapter. At the same time, we have the outer
planets Neptune, Uranus and Pluto working away on a collective level
and it all ties together in some way with Jupiter (higher learning,
philosophy, religion, perspective) who did provide support to Saturn
in Libra while he (Jupiter) was in Gemini and now Saturn in Scorpio
from Cancer.
If you look at the effects on our
generational planets from the transit of Saturn through Virgo all the
way up until he marches into Capricorn you can see a huge coming of
age for a very large group of people. In that, I'm including Pluto
in Virgo through Capricorn, Uranus in Virgo through Uranus in
Capricorn and Neptune in Libra through Neptune in Capricorn.
I know Pluto has only been in Capricorn
since 2008. However, I'm including children born with this placement
in the above because they most certainly will be affected with the
changes felt in previous generations during this time. This will
shape their childhood, basically. When Saturn enters Scorpio in 2017
the earliest Pluto in Capricorn children will be turning 9 and
experiencing Saturn conjunct their Pluto for the first time. They'll
remember this. Plus, it gives a wider perspective as to exactly what
we may be looking at here on a global level. Some of these kids were
also born with Saturn in Libra and more with Saturn in Scorpio so
they are literally part of the product of these transits. That's our
future right there, folks.
But, how does any of this relate to
Venus' extended stay in Capricorn? It's not like Venus has never been
in Capricorn before and it's not like Venus has never been retrograde
before, right? Right. Venus is a benefic. Uh huh. Sure she is. Lets
not forget she also rules Libra which is known for balancing acts
meaning if something is not “just” she can lop off something
blindly to make it “even.” And, being placed in Capricorn, she's
all business. It's a Venus/Saturn contact just like Saturn in Libra
was which can be boiled right down to relationship Karma. So, the
purpose of her extended stay in Capricorn working together with
Saturn in Scorpio is to work (Saturn) to level out (Venus) the
playing field in order to build (Saturn) the deeper lessons
(Pluto/Saturn). And, sometimes, this has to come with a lightning
bolt (Uranus).
Venus in Capricorn's square with Uranus
in Aries could very well bring this lightning bolt. It doesn't have
to be a bad thing, necessarily. People do have a tendency to shy away
from Uranus' whiplash set of changes but it could very well bring an
AHA moment in a good way. However, if you didn't work with Saturn in
Libra to start with and you didn't begin to build responsibility
around your relationships at that time and just kept on doing what
you were doing to benefit yourself while deceiving others she could
also bring big dose of WAPOW!
Venus in Capricorn's conjunction with
Pluto in Capricorn could bring a deeper intimacy to your current
relationship or it could bring skeletons falling out of your closet.
It could bring back past loves or shady money dealings back to you
(debt, theft, etc). BUT, if you've done work in these areas you could
very well be blessed.
And, yes, it could be a very big deal
either way in that it could mean you are step closer to fostering
those rock solid relationships that are so beneficial to everyone or
it could completely blow things up and you find yourself standing at
ground zero on the relationship and money front.
Good thing about it is
Venus/Pluto/Saturn/Uranus is a great time rebuild if the walls come
tumbling down. Just when you thought Saturn in Libra was over, you
know? But, it's never over. It's a constant building and reforming.
This is just one step in the process AND it occurs before our
relationships get set on fire with Mars' extended stay in Libra. So,
pay attention!
Venus turns RX on Dec. 22nd
right after Mars enters Libra on December 8th. She travels
all the way back almost touching Pluto before she turns direct at 13
degrees. And, Jupiter in Cancer is right there with her (RX at 12
degrees Cancer and opposing Pluto). She travels in square to Mars the
week of January 17. Then, they meet again with Mars Rx in Libra and
Venus direct in Aquarius (via trine) on March 30, 2014 to compare
notes.
Pluto and Uranus are considered
generational planets. But, Venus' and Mars' extended stays in
Capricorn and Libra are going to make Pluto in Capricorn and Uranus
in Aries VERY personal. Take Venus' passage with Uranus and Pluto as
a check point to see where you are. Then, move forward from there.
