Venus implies that the next seven or eight days will be special, calling for a special practice on your part. For the next week or so, the brightest planet will finish traversing a slice of Capricorn that it won’t revisit for more than a year. That’s because Venus enters the shadow (or ‘echo’) phase of its impending Capricorn retrograde on Nov. 20.
On Wednesday, Nov. 20, Venus passes the point where it will return on Jan. 31, 2014, after nearly six weeks of apparent reverse motion that is to commence nearly concurrent with the solstice of Dec. 21, 2013.
That means Venus will not see the ground it is now on for a long time, and only after having gone around the zodiac through all 12 signs. That’s how you should make the next week or so something special yourself.
Wherever you go, whatever you do, whomever you meet — go, do and meet as though you will not return again for more than a year. In other words, there are no goodbyes to be anticipated, only moments to be appreciated over the next seven or eight days. If you are like most of us, it’s high time to catch up on appreciation.
So many things have been happening so fast for so long. The events that went with being propelled from one eclipse through another over two weeks were enough for anybody. Overlapping the eclipses were three weeks of Mercury’s Scorpio retrograde in the midst of unprecedented outer planet astrology stretching over years. With all of that, it’s no surprise if some fields have gone fallow lately.
