VENUS IN ASTROLOGY - RAYS OF HIGHER LOVE

 

Love energy flowing free, spreading all around us, Venus is a higher note, rising and winding us up in her embrace.

Venus is red because love is strong, it's intense, now more than ever, in these times of self-empowerment.

Her symbol is Spirit over Matter, because Spirit is Light and it flows above us.

 

Venus in Water Signs is love for others;

in Earth Signs is love for life;

in Fire Signs is sensuality;

in Air Signs is philosophy.
 

Nowadays there are no more "negative" aspects between planets. These have become chances for the blind person to open up his/her eyes and grow into a self-conscious being. They are chances that Life brings forth for us to fulfill our mission on this planet.

Here under I will give short hints about planets' general aspects together: 

when Venus' and Saturn's horbits get in touch , their aspect represents eternal love, soul twins.

Venus and Uranus is the coup de foudre, the call of Love that no one can resist.

Venus and Pluto represent a deep feeling.

Venus and Mercury is the ability of communicating love.
Venus and Mars are feminine and masculine mingled together. This is an aspect that helps us to integrate duality, because we feel no duality - all is ONE.

Venus and the Moon represent the depth of unconscious life that can be expressed by contemplating our heart and our dreams. The Moon and Venus have the power together to make feel a person as a whole, because the Moon sets itself above Venus and shapes her soul, to be observed, in order to perceive every dreamful and wonderful sign.

Venus and the Sun make a man sweet and a woman strong. They together are vital energy and will to fight for our own right.
When the Sun is in Taurus, one of the signs governed by Venus, the native is very inclined to save Nature from Man's cruelty through actions and more human ways of living.
When in Libra, also governed by Venus, the native is very inclined to save the world from social injustice and to follow changes that can be fundamental for the planet to rise up in vibrations, leading to the Earth's evolution into the awareness of Gaia, Earth's Higher Spirit.
Venus and Jupiter give the native a vocation, a belief that comes first than every other issue in life.
Venus and Neptune is love for the Christ, is to devote one's life to others, denying our needs and requests.

These are short hints of Venus' 12 Zodiac positions:
Venus in Aries is the eternal child, taken from every possible game life is bringing forth. Do I really have to grow?
Venus in Taurus, love for nature and life - see above.
Venus in Gemini is love for communication. Finding new original ways to tell the people you love them - and that you love them all!
Venus in Cancer is the will to stick to our past - but we were made to evolve, weren't we? So go ahead and bury your past by closing a door on it! It's gone already!
Venus in Leo is love for social structures and boundaries. You don't dare to challenge the establishment but really want to be a part of it!
Venus in Virgo, love for analysis, but in the end you lose the final risult. So beware of details!
Venus in Libra, love for justice - see above.
Venus in Scorpio is love for Mystery, is the search to discover the hidden side of the Moon.
Venus in Sagittarius is love for adventure, for what's next that you don't know yet. You always wants to go a step further from where you are now.
Venus in Capricorn is to strive for stability. To be earnest and honest, to do what you are expected to from society and climb as far as you can up the stairs of the Elite!
Venus in Aquarius is love for freedom - no cages, no walls, no family or relation chains! Free you flow in the streams of life.
Venus in Pisces is the greatest empathy ever! You need to find your own limits in order to now who you are. You are a wonderful and unique soul. There is a whole universe inside of you. Get in touch with it and you will know how to use your empathy as a gift for yourself and others.

Venus is the principle of love that we experience in everyday life when we feel willing to do some good to ourselves and to others. It is compassion that sets free the energy that the injuries from our past had frozen inside our hearts. Letting it flow, we can get in touch with this stream and let ourselves go with it. Where to, then? To God, to our Higher Spirit, to Ourselves!

THE MOON IN ASTROLOGY - part II

The Moon is the Night-principle, death, sleep, lethargy, dark side opposed to the Sun-light. Night is necessary to accomplish life, because during the deep lethargic winter sleep, a seed can find the strenght to come out from within itself, to die to become a plant.
The Moon is the Growth-principle, it helps you to expand, to evolve and to become someone else, a better self, lining up to our soul project.
As our dark side, when we get close to our Lunar aspect, we embrace the unknown within ourselves, our scary side, a side that nobody taught us how to love or how to get it into the light.
The Moon is the Mother-principle, and it represents the influences we received from family bonds, if we feel accepted or rejected. Did they teach us to love ourselves or did they simply judge us? Did they take us to our sacred path or did they take us apart from it?
The answer is given by the aspects that your natal Moon creates with the other planets in your Astro Chart. And if you look closely they together form a geometrical design. This is the path in this planet in this lifetime. There is a key through which it is easier to get to the exit. The key is understanding, forgiving and allowing.
Understand the forces that took you here.
Forgiving yourself for anything you might think you did wrong.
Allowing Abundance to come into your life because you deserve it.
The Moon is the Power-principle. Knowing and understanding give us the power to stand for ourselves, to embrace our wholeness.

THE MOON IN ASTROLOGY - Part I

According to Astrology, Moon represents our unconsciousness, our intimate side; also it indicates how we feel and experience our mother, for a man especially, and for a woman, it shows in which way she lives this role. It also expresses the force of our roots.
Moon is an inner and outer force inside Man, the power ruling life rhythm, wake-sleep, day-night, it is connected to hypothalami and to the white glands of our body, which are directly fed by the Moon.

This archetypical being is linked to water, to your watery world inside, world of emotions.
The way you  experience and express your emotions depends on the position of the Moon in your natal chart.
If the Moon is in a high sector of your chart (10° house for ex.), you tend to assimilate emotions mentally. In a low sector (4° house), the assimilation arrives through your heart. Moon in 1° house is a personal and subjective way to live emotions. Moon in 7° house is an objective way to do it, because you tend to share somebody else's point of view.

Varying the element where the Moon is placed in your chart, your life philosophy changes:
Moon in Air signs (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius), you tend to be idealistic, trying to make this world a better place. The risk is that the dream is too detached from your own power to realize it. The challenge to root yourself in the HERE and NOW.
Moon in Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces), you tend TO BE your emotions, your temper is passionate and you filter life through your heart, but here the risk is to be overwhelmed by your own feelings. The challenge is to build up a path for emotions, in order to let them nourish you and the others around you.
Moon in Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn), you tend to be rational, never overexposed, always coming to terms with what is right and what is wrong, trying to keep everything under control, for fear that the world order may tumble down if you do not keep an eye on it. The risk here is an overdose of stress, while the challenge is to learn to breath freely and to accompany others to understand the world order, because you have it so clear in your mind.
Moon in Fire signs (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) you tend to be an avenger, trying to rid the world from the wrong, to establish an order according to your own personal law, which is the only valuable. The risk is to became a tyrant, abandoned by your own siblings that cannot stand the way to impose your personality. The challenge is to indicate what is wrong in the world and to teach the others how to avoid it.

SATURN, MASTER OF KARMA - A hint for Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn

In ancient times Saturn was the farthest planet from the Sun known to Man, who embodied him with the role of Time, Kronos, father of all gods, who ended up by eating them all not to share their power with them.
In karmic astrology Saturn is considered to be the Master of Karma and its transits along our natal chart empower us with self-assertiveness. The path towards our own power can be easy or hard, depending on how we allow Saturn to do the job for us, abandoning ourselves to its rules of taking away what we do not really need and building up around us a true-to-our-soul reality.

The Sun symbolizes our awaken conscience, while Saturn, being so far from it, is our unconsciousness. This is the reason why it is so hard for us to understand its principle and subsequent lessons, tending to feel ourselved as victims of life's cruelty.
To take the best out of it, we should instead get to know it better, so it can give us a root and a structure through which we can stand for ourselves.
For example, Saturn's transit is now in the sign of Libra, involving also Aries, Cancer and Capricorn. The sensation arising is of obstacles along the way, sense of  retreatment and loneliness, melancholia. The target is to move our eyes within to understand where we are and where we are going. Letting Saturn guiding our life means to see our higher ideals come true, by getting, for example a job that suits us better, or getting rid of bad situations or unpleasant people. It could also lead Real Love into your life (this happened to me in 1995 and so it is since then!).
Bear in mind that its ultimate task to make us grow into self-conscious adults, able to create a better world with their joyful thoughts!

I wish all a good life!

THE SUN ACCORDING TO ASTROLOGY

You belong to a given astrologic sign when the Sun inhabits that specific sign in your horoscope.
The Sun represents our creative energy, it indicates how we give expression to our inner light, how we shine. Its energy is masculine, active and powerful. Its phisical sphere is our heart.
There is a love story, an endless love story, that has never knows end. It is the relationship between Sun and Earth, between Sun and Man, two creatures that have always lived one for the other, because, if the Sun means life for Man and Earth, it is also true that Man and Earth mean life to the Sun.
While shining and irradiating, the Sun takes nourishment from the benefits it creates - therefore its energy is blessed and never fades despite the long earthly time passed since Man exists, even before.
The Sun is our centre, our heart, our main core, the essence as basic force where the nuances of the other planets mingle.
It is the source of inner warmth - according to the sign the Sun inhabits in our horoscope, it is easier or maybe harder to feel and express this radiance.
Fire sign are the Sun's home, so the radiance, hence the action, is strong. Creativity takes its path, even though it does not go deep, as warmth burns everything. Sometimes it is so hot that it consumes all the inner treasures, not giving them time to reach the outer way.
In Earth signs it will be like magma in a volcano, near the surface for Taurus and Virgo, deep down for Capricorn.
In Air signs it will be the passion for ideas, I am my ideas and I find my own identity in them.
In Water signs it will create a humid environment, it will be hard to warm ourselves up and thus to express our voice. It is as if the Sun can rarely reach its ideal temperature because water rules and everything seems to become steam.
Sun's position in our horoscope indicates where we feel more involved, willing or not.
Embrace your Sun, embrace yourselves and follow the path, whatever you perceive to be natural and easy.

AIR SIGNS IN ZODIAC (GEMINI, LIBRA AND AQUARIUS)

Air signs speak of pure harmony, ethereal journey, where everything is light and flows.
Air signs are a challenge to life, to incarnation, to matter world, to action.
When just a child, a person born under an Air sign could have suffered from a severe sickness, as a refusal to remain at this level of existence.
This is the world of ideas, driven to obsessions, where reality hides behind what we think of it.
This is the reign of chaos, where everything is going on very fast, inspired by the speed of thoughts.
There is no stillness, no stability, no permanency. People have to concentrate over again to find the forgotten goal.
The hardest task is to face reality, to stop idealizing themselves as invincible, larger than life. If they fail in framing themselves in a true-to-life picure, they will become very frustrated.
Air signs must learn patience, learning how to fasten their belt here in this land.
They should learn how to pursue the same aim long enough to have something good coming out of it. Journeying along the wave of thought, they are extremely creative creatures, but it sometimes occur to them to waste their talent due to inconsistency!

WATER SIGNS IN ZODIAC (CANCER, SCORPIO AND PISCES)

Now we will talk about water signs because I want to talk about emotion, a sea where we can drown and suffocate, a huge wave overwhelming us, up- and downstreaming, a hole in the stomach, palpitating heart, overreacting nervous system. Emotion invades us and we cannot understand what it is, not to give it a name. We feel distressed because such a depth frightens us and we only want to run where we can feel safe and warm. Yet we are running from ourselves, because that depth carries our name written in itself.
We need emotions to express ourselves, they are our instruments to live, feel, love. The only problem is that nobody teaches us how to feel and to express an emotion aloud but not shockingly for us and for others. Intensity frightens us. Oversensitive souls perceive themselves as freaks because no one ever taught them how to use their inner treasure to build their own world. Everybody should paint their own world in the special colors rising from the soul, just to see a reflection of ourselves around us. To make sure we are there and we can affect our simblings positively.
In ancient times oversensitive people were considered half-gods because they could perceive God in everything. Emotion is our pathway to God. Let us give our feelings the right role in our life and let us welcome intensity.
Those who incarnate in a Water Sign have this hard task to feel in a time where most people are frozen inside. What can happen is then that they could feel lonely and miserable even to their own eyes, until they learn to use their gift properly. Sometimes, when you meet one of them, we could have the sensation they have no skin, they have no division line between themselves and the outer world. They could be extremely permeable and consider themselves as castaways in a storming sea.
Do them a favour, explain to them that their sensitiveness is not a illness but a gift and do whatever you can to help them accept this part fundamental part, which vital for us all. Thank them for their mission.
