VENUS IS HER OWN TEMPLE.
We are nearing the end of your sign’s blending with Uranus, the electric liberator. Since 2018, this planet of sudden changes, lightning-fast insights and new frontiers has churned through your sign, which finds safety and security in what is known and reliable.
We’ve certainly experienced the effects collectively, with the continuing digitisation of money, revolutions in farming and farmers revolting. How have you felt the effects of this transit in your own life? Developmentally, your sign represents the stage when a child first claims ownership over their belongings; my dummy, my toy, mine-mine-mine. Evolutionarily, your sign is learning to dance on the edges of your own comfort zone and to expand it when necessary, practically showing yourself, you have your own back and that security in self is often more valuable and certainly longer lasting than the things you have ownership over.
Uranus has been working to bring you new perspectives on yourself and to show you the topographical maps of the areas in life where you are pouring your solar force; to show you your own terrain, so that you may grow it, or exponentially change it, or continue on as you are. It’s brought in a range of insights to remind you that there is always more than what you know. And perhaps life has given you a taste of the unexpected over this period.
From July 7th until November 8th, Uranus will move out of your sign and into Gemini, bringing great pause for reflection and certainly a change in temperature. When it returns, you’ll have the last six months of this transit, and then it won’t return for another 84 years. This last six months will serve as an integration phase. You’ll have the opportunity to let go of your tight grip on things that may not serve you. This is a transit of personal liberation. What needs liberating? Where in life has this been a theme since 2018?
The eclipses this year are in Pisces and Virgo, in supportive aspects to your Sun sign. Taurus is a sign of the fertile artist, living through a heightened sensorial engagement with life. And for your sign, these eclipses will be looking at your relationship between inspiration and execution. For all of us, we are being schooled in the sign of Virgo and for you, it falls into your fifth house of self-expression, creativity, and fun. Where are your self-expectations a motivating force or a hindrance? Are fun and play on the to-do list or is that something that only happens once all the serious stuff has been attended to?
The medicine is in the now-moments, and in the constant artistry through which you live your daily life. It lies in touching the abundance of all that you are right now, versus living for the joys that may reside in a future-perfect-you that you’re working to become. The medicine is also in visualising The Birth of Venus or any of her forms that resonate; resplendent and magnetic, only ever emitting her own frequency, never in comparison or scarcity. Venus is always sensually full of herself, in the best ways possible. She’s a talisman for your sign and the natural evolution of how you express it. The more you can attend to yourself and your daily life like a living Venus, the more abundant your experience of life becomes.
