With Uranus and Pluto still quite close in aspect after their most recent exact contact, having Venus enter the picture could feel profound for a lot of people. \u2018Change\u2019 is almost a dirty word for some, but in all honesty, it\u2019s the only thing that ever allows us to grow and heal in the long run — and Pluto is the Lord of Change with a capital \u2018C\u2019.<\/p>\n

Now along comes Venus, cruising through Capricorn (though not at her fastest, since she will station retrograde in Capricorn next month). She\u2019s tucked in her shirt and tied her hair back in a \u2018sensible\u2019 style, and has comfortable shoes on. She\u2019s made up her mind to be \u2018proper\u2019 (her usual in Capricorn). <\/p>\n

But as soon as she turns the corner, who\u2019s leaning against a lamppost in a leather jacket, with his motorcycle nearby?<\/p>\n

Pluto. And he\u2019s giving Venus the eye, a sly smile on his lips.<\/p>\n

Okay — so that\u2019s the pulp version. The point is, the Lord of Change (Pluto) meeting with a personal planet (Venus) means that Venus is in for some sort of transformational experience. That means that you — or the part of you represented by Venus — is also in for a transformational experience: something that has the power to change you.<\/p>\n

Something this week will probably feel very daring to you. Not necessarily dangerous (referring back to the little story, we\u2019re talking about a sexy motorcycle ride, not playing Russian roulette), but it will feel like you\u2019re taking a chance. Something about you will not be the same afterwards, in a palpable way.<\/p>\n

If this starts kicking up nervousness or a sense of resistance (or downright terror), remember Saturn is nearby in a loose sextile from Scorpio. There are guardrails; a safe boundary; a container for the experience — which could very well be exciting or passionate or surprising, even if it\u2019s challenging and scary and pushes you deep. <\/p>\n

Eric described the astrology saying, \u201cThis is not about letting go a little and ending up in the madhouse. It’s about letting go a little and maybe a little more, and deciding how you feel about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you dance at all, think of it in terms of contact improv: within the form of the dance (a container of sorts) two people enter into contact with each other. They try out giving and receiving each other\u2019s weight. They allow their own movement to be altered by the movements of their partner. A lean may turn into fall to the floor and rolling over each other; shared momentum may lead to one person becoming airborne on the shoulders of the other. <\/p>\n

The dance is not choreographed. It is full of surprises and discoveries; trust and fear; it demands mental presence, physical investment and emotional vulnerability as two distinct individuals create a dance that leaves both changed somehow. To dancers trained in more formal modalities, it can look like anarchy; but it\u2019s not. It\u2019s closer to liberation — just like the effect Pluto and Uranus are having on the conservativeness of Capricorn.<\/p>\n

As the week progresses, notice if you\u2019re engaged in any approach\/avoid behaviors, or if you\u2019re tempted to \u2018act like the bad girl\u2019 simply for the sake of \u2018being bad\u2019. The idea is not to be a rebel without a cause (or a clue); the idea is to choose what you truly want. To do that, it helps not to be in \u2018reaction mode\u2019. On Friday, the Moon\u2019s movement though Aries could make that more challenging; best to practice choosing and responding consciously now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
