VENUS in Capricorn: A serious approach to fulfillment

On 11/11 the Goddess of Love leaves the freedom-seeking Fire sign of Sagittarius and moves into the stoic Earth sign of Capricorn. It is time to take responsibility for the fiercely independent actions and/or behaviors of her time in adventure-seeking Sag that began on October 17th and bring it back to reality (aided by the Venus/Neptune square on the 9th). It is time to stop playing while simultaneously weeding out all pretenders.

Our values in romance and resources get a stark reminder of the work that is required to fulfill our desires. Lady Luck now shifts from fleeting fancy to long-term stability. Think of it as the board meeting in the bedroom (and bank). Venus had a powerful karmic clearing in her last pass through Capricorn due to the conjunction with Pluto. This time around she has survived the underworld and is intent on attracting some serious abundance. By the time she leaves Capricorn on December 7th, Pluto will have ingressed into Aquarius. The next conjunction of these two will be in a liberating new Aquarian energy.

Venus completes her transit through the serious sign of Capricorn just in time to redeem herself before the holidays, no more naughty list! This Goddess is intently looking for some lasting security in love and/or money endeavors and how she invests her time...and she now knows her worth! The self-awareness that operates with integrity is the building block of achieving "more". The lower vibrational expression of this transit can be grasping rigidly to any outdated programmed traditions that hinder our current value systems. Success should never compromise the self. Real happiness requires real work!

Capricorn is a Cardinal sign; it takes initiative to get the required job done. We can stay the course by stepping back to review our values in situations related to security in money, love, and self-expression. Venus in this fellow Earth sign can serve to provide a practical approach to achieving long-term goals in these areas.

Key Aspects:

• November 22nd- Venus is sextile Saturn, which will be direct in Pisces. This connection represents an ability to stick and stay when it comes to our dreams and visions for the future. If it is of value, don't cut corners.

  
  

• December 2nd- Venus creates an Earth trine to Uranus retrograde in her ruling sign of Taurus. Uranus has been in the home of Lady Luck solid since 2019, so Venus now has a clear understanding of the need to get unstuck by doing things differently. Time to take a radical approach. This harmonious connection can provide a big-picture view of our desired fulfillment and can allow for a radical pivot point in future planning.

  
  

• December 4th- Venus creates a sextile to Neptune retrograde in Pisces, its ruling sign. An aspect offering Divine Inspiration in our creative pursuits. If we can dream it, we can do it!
