Next, there are Pisces and Sagittarius, both realms of Jupiter. Finally, on the other side of the circle from Venus today are Capricorn and Aquarius, under the auspices of Saturn.<\/p>\n<p>The luminaries, Sun and Moon, are indisputably the heart of astrology. Among all the things you can see in the sky, they are the brightest. Their aspects to each other, from conjunction (at a New Moon), to opposition (at a Full Moon) and in between, are the templates from which all other aspects are interpreted.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>In addition, the Sun and Moon correspond to the cycle of consciousness you probably go through with every rotation of the Earth. During the hours of daylight provided by the Sun, you are most likely out among &#8217;em, conscious and showing it, emulating the Sun. Conversely, the private consciousness corresponding to the Moon prevails while you sleep, no less alive than when you are awake, but going through phases, and concerned with different things.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, where the luminary\u00a0rulerships come together is the symbolic place you can get a handle on the whole zodiac circle and the cycles of your daily existence. That&#8217;s how any object crossing from Cancer to Leo can, through its nature, provide you with a grip on the heart of matters &#8212; and who could not use a better grip right now?<\/p>\n<p>There is a lot going on, all over the zodiac, and all over the world right now. You are experiencing the plethora of ideas that fill your days. You are feeling the emotions you take with you to bed at night, and it&#8217;s a lot to get a hold of all at once. It&#8217;s a lot just to get a hold of yourself.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, Venus is as accessible as it is bright. It is the attraction you experience through solar consciousness and the values you feel through lunar consciousness. After 25 days traversing Cancer and on the cusp of just as long a tenure through Leo, Venus is your access to a better grip. All you have to do is notice Venus working in your life and work with it.<\/p>\n<p>Venus is the wind at your back, and the heads-up penny. It is what arouses your attraction, and what is attracted to you. It is what you are receptive to, and what is receptive to you.<\/p>\n<p>Venus is the moment when you realize what&#8217;s really important in life, and when your priorities become clear. It&#8217;s the root of what you know is right for you, and the right thing to do by others. For 25 days you have felt it inside; now is the time to make it evident on the outside.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s the handle. That&#8217;s the grip. Show your emotion, yes, but in a way you would be receptive to if you were being shown. Express your ideas, yes, but so that others will find them attractive. Disclose your heart, yes, so as to reveal values in common. Persuade rather than press, and provide rather than demand.<\/p>\n<p>If you can do that sort of thing, you will be Venus and attract Venus in turn, living at the heart of being, with a handle on the whole of its manifestation.
