So the Sun – Uranus alone is lively enough but with the Mars aspects wrapped around it things are definitely getting some extra oomph. There are echoes of Venus’s arrival in Aries, one of the signs ruled by Mars, things are definitely shifting. One of the joys of astrology is that it continually reminds us that nothing stays the same forever, even though there are times when it feels like it.
VENUS is Aphrodite, goddess of love. She is feminine and also rules women, all pleasure seeking, lovemaking, beauty, comfort and luxuries, art, music and the fashion industry. Venus also rules sustenance, everything from food to the money we make in order to live
JUPITER is King of the gods, jovial (Jove) and optimistic, planet of opportunity, luck, liberation, good fortune, abundance, generosity both giving and receiving, learning, publishing, truth and justice/all legal concerns. He rules long distance travel, foreigners, all matters or people related to overseas, anything that makes our world bigger and better
Consecutive signs work as opposites in terms of their basic principles. Aries is fast, Taurus hates to be rushed. Time to slow down, let things unfold. Watch the seeds that you’ve sown start coming to life. Start paving the way to a plan or a dream or simply to what you want an outcome to be.
So the huge Jupiter – Neptune conjunction is upon us, and the astrological news is full of words like psychic, magic and miracles. Well, bring it on, and am certainly not saying that these things are not possible, but why are these words so linked with this conjunction/sign, and what can we really expect to see with such a rare event dominating our skies?
Symbolically the Jupiter – Neptune conjunction speaks mostly of our emotional world. Everything from grief and floods of tears to huge romance for those falling in love right now. Also look out for the archetypes of the Rescuer, the Martyr or the Victim, clock if you’re playing either of those roles or if anyone else close to you is. Think very carefully about what you might be giving up at the moment too, such as sacrificing personal wishes or dreams to keep the peace. Recipes for resentment need to come off the menu. But Big Dreams get a huge tick.
