Squares from the Moon to Venus call on us to get our emotional needs met in straightforward ways, rather than the usual scandals.<\/p>\n
From Aquarius to Taurus, we have one of those classic setups between ‘freedom’ and ‘stability’ or between openness and possessiveness or between monogamy and polyamory, or between independence and bonding, or friends and lovers, as you choose to look at it (and there are other ways, too). The meaningful bit here is that there is no one right way<\/em> to share or exchange within emotional or sexual relationships.<\/p>\n If there is one wrong way, it is to make any one way allegedly compulsory. Nobody really listens, and the result is a lot of anguish and the temptation, mainly, to be dishonest. There’s also a necessary indulgence in guilt as a form of pleasure under this model, as guilt is the inevitable result of rule-breaches and transgressions, oft including mental ones.<\/p>\n There is a better way to do things.<\/p>\n I happen to be born with this square; an Aquarius Moon square Venus in Taurus. I’ve you’ve ever wondered just why it is that I’m so…normal, here’s one theory.<\/p>\n My life often feels like an invention process to resolve the various puzzles of this square: the stability and need for deep embrace of Venus in Taurus; coupled with my authentic need to be my own person, to be emotionally free and inherently social as a fact of my close relating to others. Venus in Taurus has a touch of the traditional. Moon in Aquarius offers the original; it seeks groups; it has a tendency to sulk if it’s mind is not engaged constructively.<\/p>\n Details from my chart are: the Moon is in the 8th conjunct Vesta. Venus is in the 11th conjunct Photographica, an asteroid. Yes, astrology can be that ridiculously expressive of one’s life.<\/p>\n One way it shakes out is: I’m personally too liberated to be very comfortable around the ‘pair bonding or death’ mentality; and at the same time I need bonding closer than seems generally available among those who practice the forms of liberation I’ve encountered. I am aware that a lot of people in various poly movements are working out this same paradox. It would make an interesting series of interviews to see how some of these people apply themselves to the situation.<\/p>\n Both the Moon and Venus contain a piece of their opposites in these signs. For example, the Aquarius Moon is in a sign ruled by Saturn; it wants some structure at the same time it needs independence. Venus in Taurus is the ruler of her sign. She needs comfort, bonding, and familiarity — but needs to be free to make her own choices all the time, and to express her devotion her own way. Evangeline Adams described this Venus (in the 1930s) as having a reputation for being promiscuous, you know, a bit of a libertine, until she finds exactly what she wants.<\/p>\n Venus in Taurus wants to feel, to be in the senses, to embrace physically and emotionally. The Moon in Aquarius wants something that works for everyone, and knows that humans are inherently free no matter what our temporary needs may be; there must (it knows) be a way to reconcile freedom with having our needs met in a stable way that is emotionally responsible. An inventor, it cares not that most people pretend to have given up on this theme.<\/p>\n The square to Mars, which happens around 9 tonight in the Eastern zone, is to say: if the frustration of the seeming paradoxes of an Aquarius Moon square Venus in Taurus start to get annoying, respond with pasison rather than with anger; or at least be honest about the anger and move onto passion. Pallas Athene is in the mix. Remember your negotiation skills.<\/p>\n Yours & truly, Dear Friend and Leader: The Moon is in early Aquarius, about to cross Rahu, the mean North Node (it crossed the True Node earlier this morning).This is a busy day for the Moon, as it will oppose the asteroid Pallas, square Venus and Mars and sextile Pholus, before moving on overnight Friday to make a … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"generate_page_header":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15621"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15621"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15621\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15621"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15621"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15621"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
