Of all the things that may happen in 2012, it does not appear they will waste any time taking place. This is courtesy of two personal planets and some edgier minor planets, including a centaur.
Imagine how it would feel for you to look down at your body and literally see yourself as a four-legged beast below the waist, human above. Think about knowing that you came to be that way because of unconscionable actions of someone else, left to work things out on your own. It’s no wonder most of the mythical centaurs were on edge. The centaur planets are like that, part comet, part asteroid, with unstable orbits that take them across the orthodox boundaries demarcated by the outer planets. We are all, to some extent, like that too. Are there any of us who have not somehow experienced the transgressions, the conflicted emotions, the rage symbolized by the centaur?
This week, Venus is moving into a conjunction with the centaur planet Nessus. Venus, among other things, represents harmony. It is the receptive functioning in your life. You see it work in the things that come to you with no conscious effort on your part. It is the principle of attraction, the native talent. In western culture, especially, this is a difficult principle to grasp. The very idea that what is coming at you is largely a function of what you are putting out there is challenging to accept if you don’t like what is coming at you. As Venus applies to conjoin Nessus in Aquarius, this very challenge could become an issue.
