Transit Venus square transit Pluto Nov 20 2015

I just wanted to let you know that relationship dynamics are headed into some turbulent territory next couple days, starting from now, and real strong by tomorrow evening into the weekend then reignites closer to the upcoming full moon next week. But for now, passions flare. Venus is making a 3rd Quarter Square aspect to Pluto Friday evening in play now thru the weekend; a phase in a cycle of balancing power, control & authority within key relationships, transforming and maturing together in the process which the current cycle started back on Dec 20 2014, and is now coming back around, finalizing facing one last challenge of the cycle before new areas of transformation and growth can occur. This usually plays out one to one, for any relationship that is really important - family, business, romantic, etc. - important partnership .

Strong power plays could be on the way. One or both of you could be feeling some intensity that could stir up an argument by tomorrow evening. Feelings of jealously, possessiveness, wanting to control and lots of manipulation is very likely, especially if current circumstances like obligations or social type stuff with others help agitate the under-currents already being felt. If issues with the other doesn't manifest by this weekend, it will still be bubbling under the surface the entire time. Awareness will keep you out of trouble, to a degree. One person might be passive aggressive, agitated, unhappy, etc trying to get the other to know that something is wrong by acting insecure. They might not feel like they can communicate it, so act passive. They might feel powerless and feel the other has too much control. This could initiate an argument so that all this energy over the last year of 2015 (in context of power/control issues) can be released, until starting a new cycle, upgraded, moving forward with maturity in new ways, if they can make it past this 3rd quarter challenge. It all comes down to fears and insecurities, fearing the loss of something they love and or value/desire, like the other person. Trust is a big thing with this. If the partner is not doing anything to jeopardize the respect/relationship and the other still acts out in jealously, suspicion, control, fear, etc then this is the issue of that person, and they are projecting their fear of loss. Or maybe one partner needs to check their behavior. Are they acting in a way that their subconscious knows will cause an argument with their partner, acting inappropriate, so they themselves can get out of the mess, passively? This is the kind of stuff i'm talking about. Stuff that can't be said, too afraid to say or admit the feelings of fear that could come up. Being honest is best, sharing feelings, even if hard ones. Rather than reacting to one person in fear the other person could be compassionate and understanding, knowing why, But this alignment makes that a challenge, to stay balanced when passions flare, with jealously and control. This energy kind of sets people up to fall in trap, so all this unspoken energy of the power and control dynamic can be released.

Things do get better after this minor setback, if indeed it manifests for you. It might not but you still might have to deal with tough feelings. Or you could have to face loss of something you want. Not feeling valued enough perhaps. stuff like that. Acceptance, trust, letting go and knowing that holding on so tight is where the suffering comes from. The energy will be sensitive but then Mercury and the sun move into Sagittarius uplifting the energy to a higher degree of faith and trust. However, Saturn is square to Neptune so confusion and doubts about what we know to be true, beliefs, opinions etc are in question, for everyone; being asked to get more real and honest, with self first. Reality check.

Alright, now you know, you can work with it...
Thanks for reading.

Last day for Venus in Virgo up next Libra - Relationship/value changes

Today (Nov 7) is the last day for Venus in Virgo before moving into Libra which will change relationship dynamics greatly- thank the heavens for that!  She's been in transit thru uptight Virgo (no offence) since Oct 8 2015. Venus's energy (which has a lot to do with relationships, values and desires - the love energy) doesn't do well in the sign Virgo; she's debilitated here, lacking strength - meaning Venus in Virgo has a difficult time manifesting all the good things of desire and value, especially when it comes to relationships. Anyone born with Venus in Virgo or that has Venus progressed into Virgo should listen up! However this message is for everyone as Venus is at the most critical point of Virgo today - the 29th degree before the energy changes.

"Totally Intent Upon Completing An Immediate Task, A Man Is Deaf To Any Allurement"  - sabian-symbol
One reason people with this energy get less than what they would like (which has been the universal theme this last 6 weeks or so) is that they try and make relationships too complicated. It gives the desire for perfection in love and value. Everything has to be just f'ing right in order to allow the abundance in. Over-critical, is the theme. So there can be a lot of self-sabotaging without even knowing it. This will give people the desire to have a mental list of the traits and qualifications one must posses in order to meet their desires in love. If they are single, good luck finding a match; no one will ever be the right fit for all the demands and qualifications they must have in order to deserve the love. Talk about illusion - fairytale type shit, yea know. Virgo and Pisces have close ties and so waiting for that perfect match is illusory activity keeping love away, even if they think they are being "practical" with their requirements for the other.

Sure, we can all grow and mature through experience which helps us understand what we want and don't want but Venus in Virgo can take this too far. Over-critical, and only seeing what's lacking while ignoring the opportunity for abundance that can be right in front of them -following the practical mind more than the heart and faith in higher processes. The universe knows much more than we do and sometimes important relationships are formed with people that are far from the best match because the universe knows they have something we need, and vice versa. But no, Venus in Virgo is too smart for that shit. They know what they want and won't compromise while wanting others to be what they want, ignoring the gifts that the other is offering in the moment. Hence why Venus doesn't much like Virgo. Sorry to say, but it's true. She rewards other placements in much more abundant ways. Virgo is too hard on Venus.Thus people that have this in natal or by progression have a tough time finding what they want in love. It's not the universe's fault. Just there own self-sabotaging expectations rather than enjoying the gifts of the moment. Always trying to fix love. Oh well, Virgo just has the ability to see what's out of whack, rather than acceptance and vision.

Anyway, just some reflections to ponder, if you're interested. Even me writing this is a form of that Venus energy critical today. Love hasn't been as blissful as it could be recently. Venus then begins transit through Libra the next several weeks starting tomorrow morning (11/8). This will change all the universal love and value energy in significant ways, especially for those people that have a strong Venus influence in their charts. Venus in Libra is a very different woman. There will be more objectivity and willingness to compromise in these matters which is healthy and will help manifest all the great Venus type things easier. Venus loves Libra so things are about to get better in the relationship department. Venus in Virgo transit had to give us some self love healing first before all the good stuff can show up. The need to balance life with others become strong. Venus will be on the North Node the next couple days which means relationship activity taking place will be important for future having long reaching effects on life with others. Pay attention to the people you're dealing with now. They are important. Relationships begin to move forward in new ways. Not just romantic, all relationships of importance. There is a new moon coming up next week which gives extra support to this. But it's Scorpio which means if you can't integrate more depth and intimacy because of fears and hangups, then you missing out on the hidden gems of potential laying and waiting under the surface with others.  I'll speak more on that new moon soon. Until then, get ready for an energy shift with others.
