Venus and Saturn: teach me to love

Love is a teaching, and you’re ready for the lesson.

Venus and Saturn are making a conjunction in early Virgo. What makes this reunion all the more powerful is that Venus Retrograde (this summer) gave us 3 Venus-Saturn conjunctions. This is the 3rd and last time.

A commitment you didn’t feel ready, willing, or able to make earlier this Summer may seem like the right thing to do this Fall. It’s a good time to get serious about a relationship.

The astrology books caution that Venus conjunct Saturn inhibits affection and can act as a barrier to love. Yet, committed relationships do create an exclusive club and form a barrier by their very nature. Yet, ongoing relationships can get an energy renewal [as Mercury and Mars form a trine to each other and sextiles to the Venus-Saturn conjunction]; guidance or reading can help you understand each other better so you can relate reasonably. When you approach a relationship as 2 people who are accountable for themselves AND responsible to the relationship, you can reach a renewed level of appreciation for the ongoing love you share– no matter how you decide to proceed.

All relationships count, and business relationships can also mature now as you coordinate with a partner to plan for the future. Don’t hideout– get socially organized; work your social networks.

The conjunction of Venus and Saturn in Virgo can make learning more enjoyable, especially if it can help you to earn more from your profession. If there’s a subject you’re attracted to, take opportunities to learn in more depth. When you love your subject, even the most technical details are fascinating now.

If you can create a barrier to negative judgments, your passionate commitments can give you plenty of energy to enjoy an active and enlightening weekend.

Put feeling good first on your agenda and enjoy!

Venus emerges from the shadow

It’s been a long time, but finally! Venus will enter Virgo on October 8 and emerge from the Retrograde shadow on October 11

As Venus Direct retraces her steps back to when she turned Retrograde at 3 Virgo in late July, get ready to act on your recently re-evaluated values.

How does money effect you? How do you think about money? How do you think money changes people? Do you see people with money as being better, happier, or just as miserable?

Some of us have an aversion to money because we see people who have money yet are not happy.

If you enjoy your life as it is, if you wouldn’t change much even if you had more money, then you are already living abundantly.

And to the extent that you appreciate the people and things in your life, you are experiencing abundance. We all have Venus somewhere in our chart!

If you are not happy and you get more money, the money and things won’t make you happy and can even make you more doubtful– unless you are already happy. As Venus leaves Leo, it’s time to access your own inner self-love. And from that perspective, you can start to make balanced, loving decisions.

Think of some of the positive things in your life. If you can appreciate just a few things you have right now, you already know the feeing of abundance. So you can activate it, ask for more of it, and be ready to receive it!

While Venus is in Virgo, you can refine all the ways you prevent love from being your guide. Focus on learning more about relationships and how to make your relationships more spiritual, connected, and whole. First with yourself, and then with others.

There’s all ways more,

in Love&Light,
Lauren

Venus Retrograde: reawakening to your love

Why don’t we make big changes that will improve our lives, free ourselves of the things we don’t like, make major strides, live in our love?

We resist changing tooo quickly. We hold on and resist making changes that are too sudden or sped up.

So we make excuses, stall for time. We search for the key to change our lives, yet when we find it, we’re not really ready, at that moment, to make a commitment to change. So we slow it down, think it over, make our own terms, get ready,,, slowly.

As Mars squares Neptune while Venus stations Retrograde, change is almost impossible, especially if you’ve lost your faith in your inner process. You need your intuition now, and shutting yourself off from it can be dangerously misleading and confusing.

You can benefit from Venus Retrograde, if you realize the key to understanding its energy.
