Our Battle for Love

  Hello November 5th! How are you on your journey today? Venus, as she rises into an evening star, ingresses to Capricorn this morning at 5:43 a.m. EST. The wholeness phase, according to fascinating astrologer, Adam Gainsburg, holds the theme between adjusting and relying on the familiar. How appropriate as Capricorn holds the energy of ambition, boundaries, karma, and the ever relentlessness of whatever Capricorn decides to zero in on.  

Venus is all about emotion, connection, relationships, and changing things around this season, and with the philosophy of “everything happens for a reason,” Venus is about to hit her pre-shadow phase at 11° on November 18th, before she turns retrograde at 26° Capricorn on December 19th. It is time to secure her world, inner and outer. The Scorpio stellium sits in the 2nd house, self-worth, and the need to dismantle what we so complacently and comfortably believed in the past. The focus, the will of Venus at 13° Scorpio, reminding us of communion, the Sabian Symbol stating, “An inventor performs a laboratory experiment stressing individual initiative, perseverance, and caution in every attempt to understand how everything is related to everything else.” Again, there are no coincidences in this world. The will of Venus, so loud and clear, opposing Uranus in the 8th house, shaking up all that we thought we knew in the rising of the phoenix.

Venus, the idea of justice, of relationships, of balance on the scale as her Ascendant sits at 17° Libra, more of the repetitive theme that we have seen throughout the last several months. Seventeen degrees is in the reconstruction phase, the Sabian Symbol, “A retired sea captain watches ships entering and leaving the harbor.” The wise ones who remember the psychic upheaval the world has been put through before, tearing us apart, with the fear of whatever haunts you most, our lives, as existentialism has reared its ugly head since the beginning of this plandemic. Again, understanding how EVERYTHING IS INTERCONNECTED.

Mercury, at 29° Libra, a crisis point of communicating all avenues of justice for our children, sextile Venus as she begins her journey through the 4th house, the house of home, of security, of nurturing, of extending our boundaries and rising to secure our safety of ourselves, of our families, our littles, and our homes. Venus holds the power of beginnings, and endings, during this Capricorn season. Death, such a common theme with the Scorpionic energy. Sad as it is at times, transformation normally requires death and the sudden revelations that rise from those deaths. There are many of us grieving the death of relationships that have ended quite suddenly these last two years, many of those deaths unnecessary.

Mercury ingresses into Scorpio later on this day, at 5:34 p.m. EST, to be exact, adding to the Scorpionic dominant energy, bringing in a way to demolish, to purge, to overthrow the shit, and I do mean shit, that no longer serves us. It no longer serves us to follow blindly, anything or anyone. It is that time to dig deep, to grasp the details and awaken, reorganize, and obsessively pursue that which is most important to us. Life is precious as fuck. It is short, so short, yet our souls are endless, forever transforming, sustaining some relevance of our journey, whether here or there.

Our words and the way we communicate will be profound this month. Mercury’s Ascendant sits at 23° Aries, the sign of beginnings, of warrior mode, the phase of potency, “A pregnant woman in a light summer dress,” this Sabian Symbol states. Can you feel the heat? The Scorpionic energy in Mercury’s 8th house, Mars infiltrating our very core of who we are.  We are primed and pregnant with this warrior energy, our wounds setting the scene for all the forms of expression needed to move on. Home, our family that holds our light, our shine. We will say what we must, the truth, dredged from the deepest depths, the Moon applying to a South Node conjunction, in order to prove that love, feel that love, and persist in that love.
