Today, Venus enters the sign of Aries. A passionate, emotional
energy, Venus is the ruling planet of the sign opposite to Aries, Libra. It tends
to struggle in this sign, seeking compatibility and cooperation where Aries
seek s competition and challenge. Venus, as planet go, tends to have a
mellowing effect upon any sign it enters, promoting greater compassion and
emotion sensitivity. For example, Aries, a sign ruled by Mars, thrives upon
self assertion, dominance and prominence in its interactions with others. Under Venus’ influence, it tends to provide
great leeway to personal interactions and relations than say Mars in Aries ever
would. In its best light, Venus in Aries
may spark attraction and urge romantic connection. In its worst, Venus in Aries
may be easily rouse to jealousy and ignite conflicts with intimates or those
you are closest to it.
During Venus’ transit in this sign, It may also be an
excellent time to launch a creative endeavors (Venus governs creativity) or
sport a new look or appearance that best promotes your most attractive features.
Venus
will remain in this sign for two months (from February until April), requiring
you to be more assertive in your personal relationships and interactions. You may
need to take the lead in such matters but with the tacit support of friends,
colleagues and loved ones. Venus will be
in retrograde for some of this period (March 4th to April 1st) but
that’s a matter for another article.
Aries, it’s time
to be more of the lover, less of the fighter.
The challenge of this next two months is to allow helpmates and
companions to aid you in your cause rather that have to soldier on alone. This transit may make for a few easy
victories, wins that come simply because you’ve shown up. Allow for that to
happen.
Librans, you may
find this next two months to be a bit of a Renaissance, where lingering or smoldering
passions may suddenly spark to life. While you are encouraged to go for broke,
do so from the disposition that this is a marathon and not a sprint. If you
overdo it at this time, you’ll lack for key energy when you need it most at a
later time.
Cancer and Capricorn, Venus might ask you to revisit
an important matter that has a strong emotional connection. The resolution to
the concern may ask for a real commitment of time or attention. Where you can,
make the time and/or effort. What may result from such ministrations could
prove helpful in your close relationships and personal commitments.
The fiery glow of Venus in Aries may light emotions or
feelings that have cooled or languished. With passion tempered by compassion,
this transit may help you accomplish great things for the benefit of yourself
and those you love.
