DARK EYES & HOT HEARTS – A BUSY WEEK FOR VENUS

Venus is currently doing her thing in Scorpio, strutting around in black leather leggings, sky-high black heels and eyes in moody black eyeliner. Venus in Scorpio is a take no prisoner version of the goddess of love…and war. In ancient times Venus was also a goddess of war.

However, Venus in Scorpio, while irresistible and charismatic, is in her detriment. Venus rules Libra and Taurus, two signs known for being circumspect and hardy under pressure.

Venus in Scorpio never quite feels…free to be bad. To really be herself.

So this week is a great outlet for Venus making this Scorpio transit.

On Thursday Venus makes a sextile to Pluto in Capricorn. On Friday Venus makes an inconjunct to Uranus in Aries. On Saturday Venus makes a trine to Chiron.

Scorpio is ruled by both Pluto and Mars (Aries is ruled by Mars) so these aspects make sense in a weirdo cosmic way. This Venus has the tools to tangle with Pluto in Capricorn and Uranus in Aries.

What kind of conversations will be had here? Is this naughty version of Venus being a rabble-rouser?

Well of course she is. With her leaning on Pluto in Capricorn, there’s going to be STRONG focus on power, how it’s wielded fairly and in a way to benefit yourself. With this everything, all conversations, interactions and activities have a fated feeling, hot and heavy with promise. It’s going to be very sexy, almost tantric. The more intense the better. This is a transit to make some powerful allies and alliances. Contracts signed while rolling around on satin sheets? Eyes locking over the boardroom table? Maybe…

Venus will then inconjunct Uranus in Aries, a rather uncomfortable action for us earthlings. Something is going to have to go if all it does is hem you in. Where do you need freedom in how you express yourself and how you make money? In a weird way, Vivian Ward (the ballsy yet vulnerable hooker with a heart of gold from Pretty Woman) was very Venus/Uranian. She said who, she said when, she said how much. She also totally re-wrote the rules of love in choosing her path while working the world’s oldest profession. Kudos Vivian. Let her be your patron saint this week.

Venus will then make a lovely trine to Chiron in Pisces, helping us heal through our intuition, through all things magical and creative. While you pursue your own truth, you will encounter healing all the boo-boo’s of late.

Watch where you feel good enough, pretty enough (or not). Pay attention to your money, or where you may feel a little combative. There’s astro gold to be had there.
