<\/dt>\nMaybe you had to put aside getting things done in spite of yesterday’s encouraging conjunction of the Sun and Moon – this year’s Virgo New Moon. It’s okay. Perhaps you experienced delays or frustrations in spite of yesterday’s motivational Scorpio conjunction of Mars and Saturn. Do not beat yourself up.<\/p>\n
Among the many things Venus in Leo can affirm, your value is foremost. If you’re reading this, you are here with us today. There is value in that simple miracle alone. Venus moving through fixed squares to yesterday’s power planets emblematically demonstrates how you should act to honor the pearl without price you truly are.<\/p>\n
The key is for you to keep moving. Square aspects are resolved by action. Even though Venus is not normally associated with action, today and tomorrow would seem to be exceptions which, nonetheless, will require your active participation for the best possible outcome.<\/p>\n
In order to keep moving, you must first take care of yourself. Getting as much sleep as you can, and eating as well as you are able are actions entirely consistent with Venus. Left unregulated however, those actions can become ends in themselves – the down side of Venus. That’s where you come in.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As always, you have a role to play with the planets in order to manifest their symbolism for the best possible outcome. When it comes to Venus, your part is to forestall indulgence and excess.<\/p>\n
For example, you can get today’s Venusian square to Saturn working for you by eating for a purpose rather than solely for gratification. Try thinking of food as fuel, and select what you eat as if for that purpose, just for practice, just for today.<\/p>\n
This is not to say you should deprive yourself of enjoyable food. To echo a proverb, bread alone will not sustain you. Instead, act to explore a more pragmatic relationship with food (or some other form of sustenance) as a simple, attainable practice for today that will allow you to better pick up where you left off yesterday and continue into tomorrow.<\/p>\n
The same principle, albeit on a different level, applies when Venus moves on to square Mars tomorrow. The level Venus and Mars most often operate on is that of relationship.<\/p>\n
Venus and Mars continuously express in your life as complementary archetypes. Venus is usually the receptive and the yin in relationship to Mars’ active yang. As in the case of all relationships, balance is important.<\/p>\n
Once again, with Venus in the unusually active role of precipitating the square with Mars tomorrow, it is you who must provide the balance. In this case, a balance between rest and activity would probably be an appropriate focus.<\/p>\n
For example, without your awareness and participation, you might very well be inclined to indulge the tension of Venus’ approach to square Mars tomorrow by staying up far too late tonight. The result, of course, would put you and your ability to relate out of balance.<\/p>\n
Or, conversely, you could be tempted to avoid any unpleasantness by sleeping to excess tomorrow. In practice, however, sleeping in or otherwise hiding out does not resolve square aspects, functioning only to sustain and continue your discomfort unnecessarily.<\/p>\n
This is not to say you should beat yourself up if sleep will not come tonight. Nor should you fan the fires of tension by getting aggravated if you oversleep a bit tomorrow. Instead, do what you can to prepare a simple and attainable practice now.<\/p>\n
Begin by not sabotaging yourself. Turn off the electronics tonight. Eschew the alcohol. Assuming you can do so comfortably, lie down at a sensible time. Otherwise, make yourself comfortable to the extent possible.<\/p>\n
Let tomorrow go for the evening. Tell yourself that for tonight, at least, taking care of your sleep is the most important thing for the sustenance and continuity of your relationships tomorrow. Tell yourself without pressure. Tell yourself with assurance.<\/p>\n
For, while yesterday’s astrology was a grand time to begin and an auspicious time to do, such days are not behind you. There will be more New Moons. Venus will make its own conjunction with Saturn in November, on the other side of October’s profound astrology. Then, come February, Venus and Mars will conjoin on the Aries Point for the most auspicious beginning in many a Moon.<\/p>\n
Whether or not yesterday was a big day, you were not left behind. You are here today. That is good. The idea is for you to continue so as to not only witness but contribute on big days yet to come. Thanks to Venus, there is continuity and sustenance in the sky. Thanks to you, it can be so on Earth, beginning with sustaining your self.<\/p>\n
