As you already know, Venus just slipped into Sagittarius late November 15, and Mercury joined the Sag party early today! These two will be dancing together for the rest of the year, so get used to the Cosmic Trickster and the Goddess of Harmony and Interpersonal Power being together for quite a few weeks.
After the intensity of Scorpio, this should bring more openness, lightness, and brightness to all things related to Taurus, Gemini, Virgo, and Libra in our charts. What has been cocooned in Scorpio gets to fly free in Sagittarius, favoring exploration of greater views and vistas, greater truths to find, and a greater life to lead. This obviously puts the focus on the house where we have early Sagittarius, where we can blend these two planets into a liberated form of openness to possibilities.
Mercury and Venus will continue to get closer and closer until their conjunction on November 21 at 8 Sagittarius, which is the first of three. They will continue to be within 2+ degrees through the end of the month, then widen to 5+ until Mercury begins to slow down and then goes retrograde on December 29 at 25 Capricorn, with the second conjunction happening just 4 hours later on that same degree. Then, in an “inside out” mirroring of Venus direct conjunct Mercury retrograde, the third conjunction happens when Venus goes retrograde at 29 Leo just as Mercury direct catches up and conjuncts Venus on July 27, 2023 on that same degree.
The theme of the first conjunction, which will play out in the house where we have 8 Sag and affect planets and houses involving Taurus, Gemini, Virgo, and Libra, deals with deep spiritual forces within each of us gestating, and we are told to be aware of “inner changes.” This will begin an “alchemical fire” between The Guide of Souls and the ruler of all which is valuable and beautiful. Something will be kindled within each of us which will open many potential futures down the road.
Because Mercury “brings the news” about everything to all of us, and activates ten thousand views and thoughts on any given thing, when Mercury comes to Venus we will certainly get lots of information about Venus! Since we’ll be discovering what Venus in Sagittarius and Capricorn are all about through December, you can get an advanced view of this and more by getting your copy of The Magic of Venus: Friendships, Soul Mates, and Twin Flames. It is the most comprehensive book on Venus ever written, and offers a multi-faceted view of why we attract the people we do, as well as how to re-shape our inner Venus to create more satisfying relationships in the future.
This work is an in-depth examination of the psychological dimension of Venus, the spiritual dimension of Venus, and the astrological dimension of Venus. It offers practical techniques for changing your image of what you want to attract your heart’s desire, and how to make your relationships more fulfilling because you are living a Soul-ful life. You’ll find out about why you like or don’t like people and things, why you’ve attracted who you have in the past and present, and how to make those attractions more aligned with your Soul purpose in the future. A major theme weaving the various dimensions together is understanding why Soul Mates come into our lives, and how to know the difference between a Soul Mate and our Twin Flame.
It has chapters on the qualities of each sign’s natural mate, the qualities of Venus in each sign, Venus retrograde, and when crucial choices and changes are made, affecting who we attract in the future. It was written for both astrologers and lay people, and as it has a thousand gems for better relationships, with self, others, and Source, please consider getting your copy by going to the link above! (And when you’re done, please leave a review on Amazon, since it helps the book and all other books on astrology as well!)
I’ll discuss more about this conjunction and those to come in the next article on this very fortuitous conjunction!
