Between the Moon in wonderfully weird Aquarius and Venus’s line up with Uranus today, I’ve been thinking about non conformity, from trailblazers to artistic geniuses, especially in the light of David Bowie’s death.

(For students interested in David Bowie’s natal astrology, he had Aquarius rising with a Saturn/Pluto/Moon stellium in Leo, the sign of the performer + a 5th House Uranus. He also had Venus trine his Leo planets. I find that people with Venus/Pluto aspects often have a magnetic personality.)

That said, Venus is what we love and value as well as how we relate to others. Uranus is progressive, futuristic, shocking, and a bit of an odd ball. So when Venus and Uranus harmonize, we have an opportunity to throw out the rules, to love something different, to find value in the weird.
