Venus in Sidereal Aires - March 12 - April 6

[Guest guest]

Venus is the planet of beauty, love and compromise.

This makes Venus the main planet of relationships.

Most of our relationship desires revolve around things

ruled by Venus. In many ways you can say simply that

Venus is the planet of our desires.

 

What do we really desire? Actually, we all desire the

same thing ultimately, to be happy. Venus is the

planet of worldly happiness. It is what makes the

senses feel good — what makes love feel good — it is

what makes God alive in us. Our first experiences with

God are usually through beautiful experiences in

nature or with other people, or some other uplifting

and powerfully enjoyable experience. Of course there

is also the connection to God that comes through

difficulty. Yet while our mind is tormented with

difficulty, we are not seeing God. Difficulties are

often the catalyst that leads us to truth, and that

which is beyond our smaller ego. Yet the moment of a

God experience comes as a moment of deep surrender and

love. This is the magic alchemy of Venus — turning

personal pleasure into divine love.

 

In Vedic astrology the planets rule two signs. Usually

one of those signs is what’s called the mulatrikona

sign. It is through this sign that the planet derives

its worldly power. For Venus, the mulatrikona, is

Libra — the sign of compromise and choice. Through the

sign of Libra we learn to value the desires and wishes

of others equal to our own. This is exactly opposite

the sign of Aries, where our own inspirations and

individual drives take precedent. Ultimately, the more

of our own individual desires we are willing to let go

of, the more happiness we will have, in the less

drained we will be in pursuit of it.

 

This is simply because most of our suffering is due to

our ego and our limited self projected onto our

infinite nature. In Libra there is indecision about

how everyone’s needs can be met. This indecision is

more intellectual in nature as Libra is an air sign.

Air is related to discrimination and thinking — not

feeling (water), not action (fire), or form (Earth).

 

The mulatrikona sign shows the origin of earthly power

a planet expresses. Yet there is an even higher

expression, an otherworldly one, shown by the

exaltation sign. Venus is exalted in Pisces, the sign

of mysticism and the cosmic mind.

 

Venus had been exalted in Pisces for a month until

today. This exalted Venus had given the promise of

many renewed spiritual insights as well as increased

love, devotion, art and appreciation for our self and

others.

 

Now that Venus has left Pisces, and entered Aries, we

may expect a more selfish direction toward our

desires. Also, we will tend to dissipate our vitality

and energy in pursuit of those passions. Generally,

when Venus is in fire signs passions are very high.

The passionate nature of Venus is not one so given to

her highest goal of compromise and fairness.

 

Fire is the element of action — it’s direction is

forward — it’s motivation is personal — it leads to

anger when frustrated.

Air is the element of thinking — it’s direction is

side to side — it’s motivation is social — it leads to

indecision when frustrated.

 

Not only does the nature of fire signs disrupt Venus,

but Venus disrupts the nature of Aries as well. Aries

is ruled by Mars and shows the nature of personally

inspired actions moving us forward in life. As was

mentioned, Venus is not the planet of personal

inspirations, is the planet of personal gratification

— they are different.

 

Our fiery inspirations are oriented towards a

long-term goal, aligned with our principles. Hopefully

there is disciplined sacrifice and clarity involved.

None of those things are important to Venus. She is

not disciplined; she tends to be lazy. Venus is not

interested in personal long-term motivations, she’s

interested in the present moment and other people

primarily. Venus is not interested in our individual

principles and sacrificing worldly happiness for them;

she’s interested in worldly happiness and adapting to

the principles of others and creating harmony out of

chaos if possible.

 

Thus, for the next month we must be careful with our

individual desires disrupting our personal, long-term

goals — and also we must watch our self willed

motivated nature disrupting our relationships.

 

This would be a good month to become disciplined about

your relationship and implement practical strategies

to improve things and courageously face some issues in

your relationship. Especially for spiritual couples,

doing Yoga or other types of sadhana together could be

very powerful. As for your long-term goals, with Venus

in Aries you can bring more of a personal element to

them. Connect your personally inspired vision to the

inspirations of others and see where you can

compromise and be more inclusive. Become motivated and

focused toward compromise and being inclusive.
