Venus in the 'Rapist' Alley
 |
| The Venus Sun cycle forms a five-pointed Star in the Sky. Nature reflects its beauty in many ways. |
During this Venus retrograde season that started at 11º♑️04' on November 18, 2021, is important to consider what she is doing in Capricorn. On the one hand, as she slows down (direct) she reviews security structures, fears, social conditionings and conventions, and all those social and political rules established to live harmoniously in society. Her nature is to find a good balance between what one desires and needs and the needs and desires of others.
Since Saturn (Lord of the Sign) is in Aquarius, there is an undercurrent of struggle for social freedom. People want to have their lifestyle preference respected, but because of the Saturn Uranus square, there is a strife between the need for constraint (pandemic times) and the need for independence. So, Venus has a tough task these days.
Considering that she's been out of bounds until just a couple of days ago (October 11 to December 7), matters related to her archetype have manifested wildly and intensely, in some instances, out of the norm. One example, is the women's rights now under legal scrutiny by the political powers. Issues that women had been taking for granted for so long are again disputed and fought for (Venus square Eris).
As I say, now Venus takes her time, she is down within the bounds, coming back to reason and taking stock of reality in a cold and austere Sign, where, in fact, she's not completely uncomfortable. For example, she likes her things to be stable. A good friend of Saturn, she likes serious committed love, stable finances, fair relationships (Libra), and durable values (Taurus). She likes the security (Capricorn) of having the things she needs to thrive (Taurus).
Today, though, she falls in the arms of the 'rapist' of the Zodiac, Pluto. However, this is not the first time, especially around the time of her Capricorn star point. On January 9, 2018, she had a similar embrace at the exact time of her cazimi at 18º (ungraceful if not disgraceful degree). Do you remember any event in your life related to Venus back then?
When Venus makes her first conjunction with Pluto, you may feel an obsessive desire to have something or someone. (I want a new laptop!) Someone else may try to manipulate or dominate you in some way, sexually, financially, emotionally. Be careful and pay attention. The perspective will certainly change when she comes back over Pluto and during the whole retrograde period (December 19 to January 29). And what you value now will have had a definite transformation once she exits the shadow zone in March. Make sure you don't get seduced by shiny promises and that you use discrimination when it's time to evaluate an offer or opportunity of any kind.
Codependent, obsessive and possessive relationships reach now the climax of tension, despair and disgust. If the situation has been toxic for a long time, you now have the great opportunity to break the chains. Go for it! I already heard about a couple of such situations coming to a head in a traumatic and liberating way. You may need professional help or assistance from friends, family or the community, though. Make sure you seek protection if you are in danger.
In addition, Mercury sextile Jupiter, which makes you think with incredible optimism and be ultra enthusiastic about your ideas. However, the Sun square Neptune may make you even more vulnerable because it weakens your vitality. Not only could you be susceptible to the seasonal bugs (bacteria, virus, fungi, allergy), but to hypnotic suggestion, psychic disturbances that hinder your ability to make a good judgment. You may only see the good in people and get such wrong impression that you fall for something dangerous. You may also feel defeated, unable to enjoy yourself, doubting yourself. In a bad relationship, someone may try to make you believe you are wrong, mentally unstable or sick because you want to change things (deceptive manipulation).

The best way to use the Sun Neptune square is to dedicate time to express yourself with art, music, dance, render service to poor, sick, or vulnerable people, or go swimming. In fact, your creative expression could be your life saver these days.
Have a great weekend! Sat Nam.
