Venus Enters Libra
Venus Enters Libra
29th PST 6:23 / 30th AEST 1:23
As Venus exits exacting Virgo and enters peacekeeping Libra, nitpicking gives way to polite suggestion. Harmonious relationships are our aim and subtlety is our game. With Venus in the sign of the scales, we’re more willing to negotiate. Yet we must be mindful not to sacrifice our desires for the sake of another’s comfort. Giving deference to a loved one’s preferences is one thing, but ignoring the reality of a situation is another. After all, we might catch more flies with honey than with vinegar, but this approach ultimately only leaves us with… Flies.
Venus is still holding an opposition to Neptune, planet of illusions, so breaking from idealistic projections is the aim now. Ordinarily, Libra Venus inclines us to distance ourselves from intensity and unpredictable behavior. But if love has recently felt like a letdown, keeping things superficial is not going to do us any favors. Fortunately, as Venus enters Libra, it locks into a trine with Pluto while separating from a trine to Uranus. These aspects discourage us from settling.
At this time, exciting sexual encounters can shift our standards. We can find compromise while navigating unexpectedly intense feelings. Relationships that begin under this influence may force us to go deeper than we intended to go.
True equilibrium, like perfection, is an ideal, not a reality. Therefore, the interplay of Pluto and Uranus with Venus can serve to thwart co-dependent tendencies. This can help us to reevalute the role that we typically play in partnership, and facilitate honest exchanges without the pressure to please looming over our heads. Passion does not have to be something that knocks us off balance. It can be an invitation to a more meaningful connection. The next three weeks ask us to keep this in mind.
