Venus/Mars Conjunction- Soldier of Love

 

Oh Hellraisers, can you smell that? No, not THAT, its spring! Yes, its in the air, things are heating up and life is returning! Of course, L'Amour is also in the air, and smells just as pungent. Its time for Venus and Mars to meet again!

Ladies and gentlemen, this is one of my favorite transits. Hands down, it rocks. Even for someone as anti-Venus as I am, I cant help but absolutely love this one. Even more so, now that its happening for my Venus Return!

Anyway, so what happens when you get a Mars-Venus conjunction? Well, lets look at the planets: Venus, goddess of love and beauty; And Mars, god of grit, War, and sweat? Anytime you get these two together, passions run HIGH. And in Aries? Holy hellfire, its like trying to put out a grease fire with gasoline!

So how do you work with this without getting burned to a crisp? Well you need to channel it instead of letting it run rampant through you, immolating you with its awesome. No, you need to tap into that truly amazing Aries energy, and let it inspire you. Be bold, try new things- Take up Motocross/ Dynamite Surfing /Skydiving! Go home with a stranger you meet at a bar! Take a random uplanned trip! Seriously, be shameless and just enjoy being alive for a while. If it feels like you're breaking some unwritten rule, you're doing it right. Of course, dont actually break any written rules, or promises/trust, dont cheat on your SO, and for the love of god dont come back with a disease if you do.

Playing back into the theme of Ceres, your mind is still focused on that new promising adventure that recently appeared on your horizon, the one that you really want to protect and allow room for growth. Keep at it, let it be your focus, but have fun with it! This life is way too short to be taken seriously.

Get dangerous, Hellraisers

Venus in Aquarius- Strange Attractors

Raise your glass Hellraisers! Our Lady Venus is now in Aquarius! And like I was saying in the Mars in Pisces post, she is the other half of the crazypants astro we now get to deal with! Yay!

Well its really not so crazypants, Mars and Venus are lining up for their conjunction later on, one of everyone's favorite transits! And guess what- This time, its on Mars' terms, in Aries. Thats right people. If you needed further confirmation that 2013 was going to be absolutely amazing and insane, look no further than that transit. But we'll get to that when it comes.

For now, the goddess of love has entered the realm of the mad scientist, and the not-quite-all-there. Shes going to be rampaging in here, flipping emotional levers at random, just to see whats going to happen. If you come at this from a standpoint of emotions and security, then you are going to hate every second BUT if you switch your perspective and say, "Okay bitch- you got me. Now lets have some fun with this!" and join her in the lever flipping, taking notes as you go, you may just find out a lot about yourself, and your emotional reactions and triggers.

Now Our Girl doesnt really have anyone to play with in Aqua this go-around, other than the sun, so she gets a little down. Anyone who knows Venus knows that this is something to avoid at all costs, because it is a damn slippery slope from a little down to Queen Venus, Destroyer of Worlds (well, at least relationships). Right now though, you need to watch for a tendency to detach emotionally and allow yourself to rationalize your emotions and try to run them through your head first. Dont do this. I know it directly contradicts what I said earlier- live with it, its Astro. You need to be concerned with the pure science of exploring your emotions, not focused on the results that your experiments will bring.

Above all else, dont forget to feel
