Yes, we’re in the middle of a long run of the usually very harmonious Venus trine Mars! This is helping part of the atmosphere to stabilize and bring a sense of understanding the flow of things wherever we have late Cancer and late Pisces, with an added boost of genius from Uranus in late Taurus.
The stage was set with Mars in Cancer in a long term trine to Saturn in Pisces in play between late January and late April, exact between March 26 and April 12. Venus joined the party in late March when She retrograded back into Pisces, being trine Mars and conjunct Saturn at 26 Pisces. This was the second Venus conjunct Saturn this year. The first was at 17 Pisces, and the third is coming in late April at 28 Pisces.
This brings a stable understanding of the relationship of where we have Aries and Scorpio with where we have Taurus, Libra, Capricorn, and Aquarius. This is giving us a “harmonizing clarity” about how our internal Venus and Mars functions are or aren’t cooperating with each other, or how our efforts (Mars) are expressing our sense of purpose (Saturn) or leading us to feeling oppressed or held back in some way. This has been a time to get clear about how we want to pursue our sense of purpose freed from the ghosts of the past.
Venus will trine Mars through April 17 when Mars slips back into Leo. Venus conjunct Saturn trine Mars in early April is excellent for all planets we have in the late degrees of the Earth and Water signs.
Even though Mars is pulling away from Venus the fourth week of April, by May Venus is speeding up in early Aries and trine Mars in Leo for the entire month and into the first week of June! This Fire trine will benefit all planets we have in the first 10 degrees of Fire and Air signs the first half of May, and all planets in the second decan of these signs in the last half of May. The exact trine happens between May 15 through 28 at 14-18 Aries/Leo.
If you want to know more about how Venus retrograde or direct in Pisces and Aries manifests, please consider getting your copy of The Magic of Venus: Friendships, Soul Mates, and Twin Flames. You will discover why you have liked what you have liked, why you did or didn’t want certain relationships, and how Venus retrograde periods are great for remembering great times in the past as well as why we had to say goodbye to people and things.
Once Venus goes direct in a few days, that part of us will again feel like we’re moving forward into new likes, new loves, and new appreciation for what and who we value. I’ve been told the information in the Venus book helps everyone see why they attract what they attract, and turn struggles into joyous relationships. Because we stand on the threshold of a new inspired “Fire of newness” in Aries, bless the passages in April and be enthusiastic in embracing the new in May.
So enjoy the swim in the ocean you’re experiencing the next two weeks with the Water trine, since by May it’s time for fun in the Sun, basking in the Fire trine through early June!
