Cosmic Boomerang

Yesterday, we were given a glorious celestial awakening when Venus, our goddess of love, kissed Pluto, our god of death and transformation, not once but twice, first in the last degree of Sagittarius and then in the first degree of Capricorn, and we on Earth were given a double dose of love transformed. Venus is that aspect in each of us that loves because we are loved, and when we are under the influence of Venus we weigh the gifts of our love seeking to balance the scales between what we give and what we receive. Venus is our celestial boomerang and by sending back to us what we give to others the celestial goddess of love administers the irrefutable cosmic law of karma in the causation of our actions. When we are under the influence of Venus we are well aware that we are the  master builders of our fate, the architects of our life creating the life of our design. When Venus is in Capricorn we are learning that nothing in life is for free and that each act of love is marked with responsibility and commitment. This particular passing of Venus in Capricorn is disposing the face of the the Scorpio Full Moon, the luminous light of Taurus, intensifying the transforming of the love that has shaped our past and contours our present.

When we are under the influence of Venus in Capricorn we are made aware that love requires our maturity and we learn to respect and honor our self-value and the value of others.  Our usual frustrations vented in anger turn a sober face disarming the childish disappointments we carry from our past by transforming our poisoned resentment into a deeper appreciation of our life, which is  nothing less than the crowning jewel offered Taurus, and something of which I was reminded reading Full Moon in Taurus Brings Scorpio Love Lessons. I especially appreciated Jessica’s encouragement to value the simple physical pleasuring of the body, I’ve learned that Taurus Moon doesn’t care a wit about muddling through the complexity of my feelings — or his. That’s Scorpio. Hug therapy, sexual therapy, cuddle therapy are Taurus.”

Venus in Capricorn focuses our attention on the difficult work ahead testing our fortitude and our commitment to achieving our goals. Both Taurus and Capricorn honor our commitment to achievement and this month we have the celestial blessing of Venus, ruler of Taurus, dancing in harmony with the planet of manifestation, Saturn, and the planet of expansion, Jupiter. Worldly success seems at hand but not without our determined efforts to make it so.  Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn, demands that serious attention be paid to what we value in life. Traditionally Capricorn honors our social achievements and the prestige that they garner, but on a deeper level in human consciousness, Capricorn is that aspect in each of us aware of contributing  to society the best of who we are and what we have to give. Saturn in Virgo opposing Uranus in Pisces is helping each of us to do the necessary work required to improve who we are  and what we have in order to improve what our society is and what it can become. The influence of Uranus in Pisces tells us that we are experiencing an evolutionary change in our concept of love and by breaking free from the shackles of conditional giving and receiving we  are given the gift to love because it is the nature of love to love.
