Venus entered Aries overnight. If there is anything to synchronicity, our times and our lives are about to get even more interesting. If you don’t think that’s possible, here’s another one. The train of events will likely lead back to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you learn about yourself over the next several days and weeks will probably proceed directly from whether and how you act on your attractions and what is attracted to you. Even with the Sun’s defection to Taurus yesterday, Aries remains a very crowded and complex thirty degree slice of the circle. It is occupied by its traditional ruling planet, Mars. It is also host to the current retrograde of its esoteric ruler, Mercury. Uranus is there and it’s a big deal, a fact that Jupiter is amongst them all to remind us of. Now add Venus and that’s five of the major planets, more than half of the solar system you learned about in school.<\/p>\n

If things seem a little lopsided or out of balance right now, that might have something to do with it. Other than adding to the sheer amount of mass in that small part of the sky, the Venus ingress to Aries might be downplayed by a cook book astrologer. Unlike Mars, Mercury and Uranus, which share various levels of rulership, the Venusian situation is quite the opposite, literally so. That’s because the sign opposing Aries, 180 degrees away, is Libra.<\/p>\n

Libra, along with Taurus, is one of the two signs ruled by Venus. Formulaic astrology says that when a planet is in a sign opposite to the one it rules, it is in detriment (or fall). This could be taken to mean that the object is out of its element or perhaps outside of its jurisdiction. In such cases the influence would be discounted, marginalized or subordinated. There might even some who might say that Venus is being more powerfully expressed through the Sun in Taurus than it is as the odd fish in the dry and crowded kettle of Aries. Maybe sometimes, but not this time.<\/p>\n

You see, Venus is nothing if not attractive. It is the archetypal quality of attraction that the esteemed pan-cultural astrologer, Robert Hand, selected as the single, distinguishing characteristic for this planet. As an intrinsic expression of a nature, attraction seems to originate from the inside. As an undeniable force from within, attraction works its ways without. Attraction is not desire, but it arouses same. It is not charisma although it is at least as mysterious. The phrase, “a certain something” is often invoked to describe what seems to be the specificity of its force.<\/p>\n

This in spite of the fact that the personal nature of the sympathy is often a common, collective response from those who fall under the spell. Attraction, above all, compels the need to bond with it regardless of the consequences. With so many planets in Aries, that’s a lot of attraction to bond with. Given the nature of the sign, the implied synergy is to reveal something about the self to the self through the experience.<\/p>\n

It all begins this weekend when Venus makes its first conjunction in the first house of fire, with Uranus. It is a promising start with transformational possibilities. We may all have an entirely different perspective on ourselves by next week.<\/p>\n
