Venus Enters Libra, Mercury Enters Sagittarius & Mars Opposes Uranus

Hello All,

This week Venus enters the sign of Libra and then Mercury will enter the sign of Sagittarius. We also have a Mars/Uranus opposition. Let me break down this week’s forecast for everyone and all you need to know!

On the 7th Venus will be at 29° Virgo and in a last quarter trine to Pluto in the sign of Capricorn. Venus in throughout this transit has been the ruler of both eclipses that just happened. Here at the 29° mark, she is wanting us to culminate whatever it is that we have been coming to understand and to take the lessons as a way to heal our inner relationship to self and then to apply this information to our external relationships with others as she enters the sign of Libra. With Venus in a last quarter trine to Pluto in Capricorn on this day speaks to limitations being understood and the need to culminate whatever it is that is getting in the way of us moving forward at this time. With Venus ruled by Mercury in Scorpio as she is at the final degree of Virgo, we are called to get to the bottom of how we have defined our inner world and how that impacts our outer world. This is about getting to the bottom of how we go about asking and answering our own questions, how our inner psychology is connected to our ability to remain in our own authority, or whether or not we deny ourselves from experiencing our emotions through suppression. Mercury is also trine Neptune in a last quarter phase. Where do we need to forgive ourselves? What do we need to understand on a deeper level about our values? Have you only been seeing what you want to in others while denying your own inner reality? This is a day where we can come to understand what it is we must do to keep on this journey of self-healing, and it can be tied to the lessons we have been garnering from the eclipses that just passed.

On the 8th, Venus will enter the sign of Libra and will be there until the 4th of December. Transiting Venus shows us what we are working on relationally, whether that be our own relationship to self or with another. With Venus transiting the sign of Libra the emphasis is with others. Venus in Libra or any planet in Libra for that matter is not inherently balanced, therefore it is learning about balance. If you have Libra dynamics in your own chart, you will understand this deeply. Venus in the sign of Libra has a deeper teaching revolving around how we listen to others. This means we are learning to listen to others objectively and not through the filter of what we think they need but listening to what they are actually needing. This means we have to make a conscious effort to listen instead of project what we think they need or projecting our own needs onto another. This is so that we can listen to what they are actually asking for. There is an even deeper lesson within this, which is to not be attached to the advice we give to another or a particular outcome. This helps us be able to understand what healthy boundaries are and how to maintain them. Venus in Libra gives us a counterpoint to understand our relational needs and the needs of others. This is done through the counterpoint of contrast. Venus in Libra teaches us how to harmonize with others that way we don’t create imbalances within relationships. Venus through this transit also teaches us about how dependencies create imbalance. When we aren’t in touch with our own independent needs and aren’t able to meet our own individual needs, we can project these needs onto another. This then creates expectations; expectations create the dynamic of conditional love. “I’ll love you, if (insert whatever need you can’t meet for yourself)”. The other dynamic about this particular transit is that it has the ability to teach us about how we view ourselves and others, if it is equal or not. When we love conditionally and expect another to change into who we think they should be or do what we think they should, we aren’t viewing them on equal ground. Naturally expressed Venus in Libra teaches us about the natural law of giving, sharing, and inclusion. This naturally occurring law is about harmonization, reciprocity, and viewing all as equal. This means that when it is not naturally expressed it becomes distorted. We can end up abandoning ourselves if we don’t view ourselves as equal or we can end up trying to control the outcome for another. This means abandoning our own needs for the needs and values of another or expecting another to do that for us and the sake of the relationship. We can come face to face with dynamics such as codependency, enmeshment, and acquiescent to others in order to feel needed or wanted. Where do you get your value from? From another or from yourself? Are you expecting another to change?

When Venus enters Libra, she will also be inconjunct to Saturn in the sign of Pisces. Saturn here has been asking for us to change how we structure reality and our consciousness, to culminate and dissolve old structures within that have been conditioned. With Venus and Saturn in this conversation there is a need to look at the delusive nature of our ideals and how they condition not only our relationships as a whole but our expectations within them. There is readjustment that is wanting to occur through looking at these dynamics on an internal level. What patterns within your relationships persist? Are you constantly blaming others within your own relationships? Here Saturn says to take accountability for your own needs and to dissolve the old structures with how you’ve done relationships in the past that seem to have a common thread. The need is to look at self, first. Then deeply understand your own needs and values and to make sure these align with another. Have relationships been ending because of this dynamic? For some crisis dealing with their own relationships can happen if objectivity has gone to the wayside. Crisis serves to help us readjust by getting us to ask why something is happening and what our part is in it. If this is you, just know that once the dust settles, the awareness of the lesson will surface.

On the 8th, Mercury in Scorpio will sextile its ruler, Pluto in Capricorn. This is a last quarter phase. This phase correlates to the need to step outside of the status quo or transcend limitations. With Mercury in Scorpio, we are looking at what is below the surface and the need to intensely expose how we have defined reality and how it has affected our inner emotional and psychological nature. With Pluto in Capricorn in this conversation there is a need to penetrate and get to the bottom of what limitations need to be transcended and how we can alchemize prior experiences as a way to gain deeper levels of wisdom. This means that there can be issues surfacing that have us looking deeper within as a way to expose what answers we are seeking that will help us to redefine our sense of authority and how we make correct judgment calls. This can be a time of deep contemplation and reflection as a way to expose whatever dynamic is wanting to be redefined from the inside out. Then to walk in our own authority through the knowledge that comes from the exposing of our inner world. Because Pluto is in Capricorn we can be looking at how our familial conditioning has affected our inner sense of security through how we have defined reality stemming from that early child conditioning from our family. We can also be looking at this same dynamic only through the conditioning of society, religion, and culture. Whatever you are being confronted with in life right now is the key to exposing some inner dynamic that wants us to step outside of the ‘norm’ or our own inner status quo, to metamorphose these dynamics as a way to own our own sovereignty. With Pluto being ruled by Saturn in Pisces, this deep internalization of old limitations and the way we have defined inner security can help us to dissolve the old and to restructure through redefinition. This can be done through looking at temporal values that have been conditioned. This can also be looking at what we need to forgive ourselves for.

On the 10th, Mercury will enter the sign of Sagittarius. Mercury will be in this sign until December 1. Mercury in Sagittarius through transit is about expanding our knowledge and opening up to intuitive synthesis through direct experience. Through this transit Mercury can have has traveling as a way to expand upon the knowledge we are seeking, it can actually keep us seeking out more information in order to intuit a variety of different schools of thought. This is also a transit that can help us to connect deeper with nature and the naturally occurring laws as opposed to manmade laws that manipulate reality through their definition. More than anything this transit can have the ability to help us connect with our intuition. With Jupiter in Taurus the ruler of Mercury throughout this transit, we are called to intuit what it is we need to work on with our relationship to self. Whatever you have been called or drawn to do that helps you understand yourself more deeply, now is the time to act on this if you haven’t already. This is also a time to sit in nature and ground into the Earth as a way to connect with deeper parts of ourselves and with Nature herself. This would be a great time to journal while doing so and to see what freely flows into the mind. You could be surprised with the answers you have been searching for that come into consciousness at this time, it could seem as if you held them all along but just needed to access them.

As soon as Mercury enters Sagittarius it will be in a last quarter square to Saturn in Pisces. With this aspect and phase there can be tension and fear revolving around where we are headed and the past, also known as, the ‘known and familiar’. If Saturn in Pisces is about the breakdown and dissolving of old conditioning that is manmade, and thus, how we structure reality… we can feel the tension and need to expand upon knowledge from prior experiences. The key is to expand and to allow our intuition to guide us on how to do so. If you are someone who hasn’t been listening to your inner guidance this can be scary. This is also about learning new values revolving around Natural Law as opposed to manmade law. Through dissolving old temporal values in order for natural values you fill the void. The key is to not rely on the past way of definition that has created a sense of security. We are in a time that speaks to creating new ways of feeling secure, this needs clarity and definition through the expansion of our knowledge and connecting with timeless, natural, and universal principles. With Mercury ruled by Jupiter in Taurus, what is your inner voice and guidance telling and directing you to go? The need is to lean into that turn, so to speak. Deeper levels of wisdom around that corner.

On the 11th, Mars in Scorpio will oppose Uranus in Taurus. Mars is about desire. Evolution (Scorpio) is propelled by what we desire. Mars also correlates to the choices we make, these choices are directly linked to what we desire to do on a soul level. Scorpio can be about resisting what we desire out of fear. This fear can stem from old trauma (Uranus). With Uranus in Taurus, we have been called to transform our relationship to self through liberating from old values and needs. To tap into our higher mind and to connect with our inner voice. Taurus correlates with the inner voice, our inner resources, and our inner relationship to self. Survival, whether that be literal or whatever it takes to survive (money, clothes, food, shelter). Scorpio is about merging of resources with another or something else, it is about soul growth, evolution, and what constitutes emotional and psychological security. With Mars in Scorpio in opposition to Uranus in Taurus there is something that needs to be opposed or thrown off because it has reached a limitation. Old traumas can be surfacing that have affected our sense of self-worth and self-esteem. With these traumas surfacing for some there can be a fear to act on what we desire. What can propel our evolution. Uranus wants us to liberate from the chains that bind us, Uranus wants us to transform. With Uranus rx there can be repeating thoughts from our subconscious surfacing that are directly linked to our Soul’s desires, these desires can help us throw off where we have reached certain limitations. With Uranus ruled by Venus in Libra, this can revolve around how old relationships created traumatic events for us that have prevented us from moving forward. That have created an imbalance within. Mars in Scorpio says to respond and not react, this takes a conscious effort of grounding within ourselves (Taurus) as a way to listen to the inner voice that sparks the transformation and liberation that is necessary right now. Taurus also represents self-sufficiency. Have you been depending on others because that is what is known and familiar to you? What inner direction keeps coming into the forefront of your mind to be acted upon? Old security needs are wanting to be liberated and jettisoned from within, there is a need to align with what we each need on a unique and individual basis and then to act on the desire to meet ourselves there. This promotes the self-sufficiency that is being asked of all of us right now. Mars in Scorpio can bring up anger for some revolving around old dynamics that affected self-esteem, self-worth, and the ability to be self-sufficient. Anger speaks and points to deep hurt. What awareness around these areas is wanting to surface as a way to transform this dynamic? This is a signature of release, transformation, and turning lead into gold. What can you act on in order to create the life you want and the relationship to yourself that you need? This amounts to what your soul desires right now. What do you feel has reached a limit and needs to be released? Have old traumatic events been projected onto current relationships? Have you processed the anger that stems from prior events? Do you need to release anger that is stored within your body? Have old traumas and events created crystallizations within that need to be liberated? These are all questions to ask yourself in order to get to the bottom of what it is that is wanting to be opposed.

I hope everyone has a beautiful week of growth and expansion!

Much love and gratitude,
