Venus in Pisces 2023
This Venus is Pisces transit (Jan. 26 to Feb. 19) is a healing balm but also an instruction guide on how to make love, and how to be in better relationship.
Cruelty has no place in love; often we inflict the most cruel strategies on ourselves first before using them against others. How may we sooth the bruises of negative self speak, anxiety, verbal/mental violence from self & others, and the confusion of disillusionment?
Venus in Pisces reads to its lovers, is inspired by a muse, and sketches its fantasies, it finds creative & intuitive ways of enacting duties of care. Pisces is the emotional & mental healer of the zodiac, so through this lens or style, Venus' love/beauty/attraction/attention/desire has a deeply healing and cathartic effect! Love is healing magic, & each of us are magicians! Take time to intentionally express your love in overt, whimsical, romantic ways. Unlike, the skepticism of Venus' transit through Aquarius, this time, love is enough!
Let's be less doubtful in the face of love during this transit. Give & receive it freely. Be TENDER (my new favourite word, recently rolled in on a new wave of love ). #softgirllife
Someone you love, having a shitty day? Ask if you can give them a hug! Your lover pissed off? Do their favourite thing for them. Also, don't be hesitant to ask for or state your requirements, needs or desires around love! Love languages, methods of care, communication strategies, kinks, fantasies, expectations. How do you like to be loved? What is partnership to you? Reflect on these questions for yourself first so you're not out here loving blindly or in an ungrounded fashion; you will miss love coming your way if you can't identify with it personally. Our love is a potent cure for many ailments, know where it's coming from then direct it with intention and care. The right love can be salvation, the wrong love can cause devastation.
On Saturday, February 4 2023, (the day before the Full Moon in Leo) Venus in Pisces makes a Square [a challenging aspect] to Mars in Gemini. This is the instructional or teaching day of this transit so show up for class & pay attention. Encounters, events, conversations, love making etc may reveal why/when/how our love is "wrong" or unsuitable or in need of tweaking in order to be in better relationship with self & others. We can expect some healthy arguments but don't shy away from this particular conflict! This Mars square wants to teach us something so that we can be better in love or more prepared for love. However big or small, the tension and action of this square will result in deeper understanding, greater trust & more effective loving going forward.
