After spending the last four weeks traveling through the dark waters of Scorpio, Venus is now in Sagittarius! Venus is the planet that reveals what we value, what we love, and how we relate to others. So, when she’s in Sagittarius, we are naturally attracted to the exotic, the foreign. We value exploration, quests, and the freedom to stretch our legs and our minds.
Sagittarius is also a more complementary placement for Venus, especially with the Sun rounding out its annual trip through Libra. Think element Fire (Sag) and Air (Libra). We’re more inclined to be social, spontaneous. But Venus loves her freedom in Sag. And, true to the sign’s vagabond, bohemian spirit, she doesn’t want to be tied down. Unless it’s getting her passport stamped with a lover.
Also note that Mars and Pluto are coming up to a conjunction in Capricorn. This only happens every two years, the last happening on November 10, 2014. If Mars in Capricorn is the drive and ambition to create what we want in the physical world, then Pluto is the force that will show us what’s in our way — and what we have to leave behind in order for it to manifest. This is a very powerful conjunction. It’s also hella intense, requiring all of Mars’s natural bravery to stare down our fears, our darkness. If you are an Aries or Scorpio, prepare to be reborn.
