The hero’s journey of Venus in Aries continues with an applying conjunction to Eris, but first let’s review the last few days for some perspective on this aspect.

The weekend featured some prominent astrology in the cardinal signs. These four signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) are defined by the fact that the season changes when the Sun moves into the first degree of any of them. There are corresponding geographical events as well. For example, when the Sun ingressed Aries on Saturday, it was stationed directly above the equator and everyone on our planet shared the personal experience of equal days and nights. This was something you could observe and feel on the physical plane. It was not an abstract intellectual metaphor. We actually lived through it; the world shared (and is still sharing) a common event.

From this sort of experience an astrological analogy is derived, the cardinal, or Aries, point phenomenon. When the personal and the common (or political) converge and become one with each other in some meaningful way. Take a look at news events of the weekend, reflect on the concurrent events in your personal life and see how that works with the idea of beginning a new season.
