To thine own self be true.

Venus enters Aquarius at 4:03 pm EST tomorrow reminding you to be true to yourself. The reminder derives from how Venus manifests in your life. Another consideration is how long Venus has been in Capricorn, and how Aquarius differs from Capricorn. Finally there is how Venus will make precise aspect to intangible yet important points in the Moon’s orbit upon ingress to the Aquarian realm.<\/p>\n

Among other things, Venus is about values, both material and otherwise. Material values have predominated for a long time, but it has not always been that way.<\/p>\n

We appear to be far removed from times and places when truth and beauty were considered to be equivalent manifestations of Venus. The cultures where aesthetics and ethics had a value without a price seem so long ago.<\/p>\n

Yet, intangible values have not ceased to exist so long as you know how it feels inside to have a conscience and be true to yourself. If you have somehow lost that (self) loving feeling, Venus entering Aquarius is a chance to get it back.<\/p>\n

If you have found yourself recently focusing on how love does not pay the rent, it may have to do with how Venus has been stuck in Capricorn for four months.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A cardinal earth sign ruled by social Saturn and corresponding with the 10th house of big institutions like governments and corporations (which run on money and feel no love), Capricorn has held Venus and its values captive for a long time. Indeed it has been long enough to forget that society predates governments and corporations, and was long ago predicated by the shared values of community.<\/p>\n

You don’t feel community with governments or corporations, you feel community with people — people upon whom you depend, and who depend on you.<\/p>\n

Long before your place in society was measured by your material wealth or what nations and\/or companies you identified with, values were associated more with the content of your character than the contents of a vault. That’s how Aquarius, also ruled by social Saturn prior to telescopic discoveries, differs from Capricorn, and how Venus is about to shift its expression.<\/p>\n

The problem is that you will not have the luxury of Venus traversing Aquarius for four months in order to shift back towards being more true to yourself. Instead, it will be four weeks, until April 5, after which Venus will leave Aquarius for Pisces. The awareness conferred by astrology can, however, help you make up for lost time.<\/p>\n

As one of its most ancient and basic tenets, astrology holds that the unfolding and ultimate conclusion of a cycle, or episode in a cycle, is seeded at the beginning. That’s how the aspects made by a planet upon entering a sign are considered to be auspicious.<\/p>\n

Aspects are angular relationships between objects on the zodiac circle as well as in the sky. While Venus will make a number of aspects upon entry to Aquarius tomorrow, there are two of those angular relationships that stand out because the theme echoes not only the difference between Capricorn and Aquarius but also a predominant pattern developing for astrology this year.<\/p>\n

The astrology this year is dominated by a grand cross aspect developing between Mars, Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto either opposing or squaring (at right angles to) each other. When Venus enters Aquarius tomorrow it will complete a grand cross of its own, but not with planets or otherwise material objects.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, Venus will seed its new episode by opposing the mean lunar apogee in Leo and squaring the mean lunar nodes in Scorpio and Taurus — all precisely to the degree.<\/p>\n

The mean lunar apogee (otherwise known as Black Moon Lilith, or BML) is an intangible point in space. Nonetheless, BML has enough value to be included with the sign-ruling planets on nearly every ephemeris used by modern astrologers.<\/p>\n

Black Moon Lilith is the mean value of the furthest removed point in the Moon’s orbit, and hence corresponds to the values that don’t mean much to the governments and corporations around which our daily life revolves. Yet those same values are what allow you to remain true to your own center around which your relationships revolve.<\/p>\n

Similarly, the lunar nodes are intangible but important enough to earn their own column on nearly every ephemeris. The lunar nodes are the two perpetually opposing (and constantly moving) points where the Moon’s orbit around the Earth intersects with the Earth’s orbit around the Sun.<\/p>\n

The value of the lunar nodes is nearly incalculable. There are where eclipses (probably the most important of all astrological events) take place. The nodes are also symbolic of the entryways into and out of the material world.<\/p>\n

We all enter the material world the same way. We all leave the same way as well. What we bring in and leave with is not material at all.<\/p>\n

What we bring into and take from our short lives on this Earth are intangible values without price, the ramifications of mortal life that last longest, and all of it comes down to being true to yourself. If you can simply live in awareness of that simple, yet profound, fact of life tomorrow, you will be in harmony with the heavens, and you will seed the next four weeks of your life on this Earth in the most auspicious way.<\/p>\n
