On February 7, Friday (the day that belongs to Venus), the planet of intimacy, values, and beauty leaves the highly sensitive and intuitive waters of Pisces and lands in brazen Aries. A cardinal fire sign, Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, initiatory and bursting onto the scene to create something new. Where Venus in Pisces is more about merging, empathy, and deep feeling in love and relationships, in Aries Venus has a more independent and pioneering spirit. Idealistic Pisces intuitively connects with others easily wheareas impulsive Aries is more self-focused in general, but can certainly connect when desire demands it. Of course (in traditional astrology) Venus is thought to be “exalted” in Pisces and considered to be in “detriment” in Aries (and Scorpio); you can think of it as being super comfortable and at home in Pisces and not so comfortable in Aries. But please understand that if you have your natal Venus in Aries, you are not somehow doomed in love, for example. In fact, there are no inherently bad or awful placements or aspects that are untennable or unredeemable or that you should fear. (*This should be a Ted Talk).
For these next few weeks, allow your boldness to be expressed in the arenas of connection, affection, love, the arts, aesthetics. Explore and be adventurous. Healthy Aries takes on the archetype of the courageous warrior, fighting the noble fight, fiercly loyal. This isn’t a glorification of war or violence, which is a possible tone that unhealthy Aries/Mars energy can take, but rather a more spiritual courage and leadership. Shadow Venus in Aries could show up as jealousy or possessiveness, or arguments and combativeness, so be mindful of that. Conversely, healthy Venus in Aries can manifest as an increased strong will, magnetic life force, passionate sex, vitality or libido, and bravery in reaching out for love and connection.
You may consider taking a risk for something you believe in or in some form of artistic expression, or taking a stand for love, being direct and clear about what you want, expressing yourself, your needs and desires confidently. Be bold in your loving while remaining courageous in your independence.
Venus will be in Aries until March 4.
