Venus in Scorpio opposes retrograde Jupiter in Taurus tomorrow. The next few days will thus be a good time to practice a directed contemplation of what is now coming to a climax. The protocol is easy. Observe what appears before you in the course of going about your business. Make note of where you put your energy.
Also, be aware of what you are attracting. Keep track of what grows in importance, as well as that which is no longer a priority. Finally, be aware of what you have seen before and what you have not. Just for today and tomorrow, jot the actual events down if you get a chance. Then, think back to May, a month when the Sun was in the same part of the sky that the Moon is tracing most of this week. Now is the time to flex your memory muscles and reflect on that time, because that’s when Venus and Jupiter were together in the same place.
When two or more objects are in the same place in the same sign, they are conjoined, temporarily merging their energies to start a new cycle. That’s how it was for Venus and Jupiter in May. Try to recall what that was like for you. It could have been a promise that attracted or a potential that repelled. Possibly there was a confluence that brought together who you were, where you were at and what you possessed. It would be most useful if you could discern now what was not apparent at the time. That’s because conjunctions are also known for their blind spots, the things you could not or would not see because they were too new, too close, or because you were too busy.
The blind spot of a conjunction is best addressed at the eventual opposition, when two or more objects are at the same place in opposing signs. That’s how it comes to be a climax. Venus is now in Scorpio and willing to look. Jupiter is retrograde in Taurus and able to see. With both a healthy separation and a full frontal view, it is an opportune time to face the facts about what has transpired in the last six months. That is potentially intimidating. Most of us are inhibited about initiating confrontation, and for good reason. Fortunately an opposition between planets means that we are in the middle and that gives us some structure to work with.
