<\/dt>\nAll conjunctions have two symbolic attributes. The first is a new cycle initiating for the conjoined objects. The second is a blending of the archetypes each participant represents.<\/p>\n
The Sun brings something extra. It is what Robert Hand has called the “triggering function of the transiting Sun,” corresponding to a greater consciousness of energies receiving solar aspects. <\/p>\n
Hence, the conjunction of Venus and Mars at 12:58 am EDT Sunday will be out of sight, but not out of mind. It would be nice to see silver-bright Venus\u00a0cozy\u00a0up to ruddy Mars. They don’t get together every year. Contrary to appearances, and thanks to the Sun, their collaboration this weekend will show up in less than obvious ways. Nevertheless, if you are aware, you will be able to tell. It will work according to how the nature of each planet comes together with your experience of life.<\/p>\n
You can spot how Venus works as attraction and receptivity. When the good things you do are returned in kind, that’s the brightest planet just over your shoulder, working through you. The same synchronicity accounts for when your values are redeemed or reciprocated, often creating a bond in the process.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You can also either feel or observe the distinguishing energy of Mars as life in action. Whenever you push back against that which would diminish what you are, that’s the Martian miracle characteristic of all living things. Similarly, when you reach out from inside with vigor and intent to work your will in the world, it’s you starring as the red planet.<\/p>\n
Conjoined in Aries, Venus and Mars are not exactly on equal footing. Mars rules Aries, and a certain sense of entitlement is evident when the ruddy one returns home every two years or so. A ruler alone in its castle, however, is plainly pathetic\u00a0without a complement to subtly complete its creative potential.<\/p>\n
Venus is that complement. Even adorned in Aries raiment, Venus gives the energy of Mars someplace to go and something to do beyond indiscriminate expression. Together, the active and receptive, the willful and the willing, both assert and nourish the continuation of the universe in ways evident only to those who make an effort to see what is not obvious.<\/p>\n
As part of the universe, you may encounter the conjunction of Venus and Mars this weekend in many subtle ways. The most predictable way for those of the biological persuasion would be with somebody else whose urge to merge not only complements your own, but reciprocates to create a bond greater than the sum of its parts. By the same token, your imperative to express and assert may go beyond finding reception, to discovering vindication.<\/p>\n
Regardless of how the unseen conjunction of the bright one and the red one manifests for you, please keep one thing in mind. What hints the Sun triggers this weekend will be consistent with what you will see more clearly when the current season reaches its climax to reveal Mars and Venus, brilliant in the dusk of the western sky.<\/p>\n
The question is whether you will participate. You can. Working with the astrology behind the realities that will eventually shine in the sky means first making an effort to receive what only your subtler senses will pick up in the days to some. Doing that consciously will be the well from which you can draw a new cycle of life. What your senses bring up will trigger your mind’s eye, and what it sees will empower you to rise to the occasion of the months to come and do a little shining of your own. \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
