venus in virgo: loving and valuing yourself

by | Oct 7, 2015 | Astrology Blog

happy wednesday! i am reposting my Facebook post as for some reason it is not showing up in people’s feeds. even though there are no exact aspects today- the energy we are steeped in this week permeates today and is important to be aware of. so read on…

there are no major aspects today – yet we are right on the heels of the major activation of the SUN and MARS (which was exact yesterday). yesterday the message was to SURRENDER CONTROL- and that is still the message today ;)

VENUS is also in the last full day of her journey through LEO. tomorrow morning she moves into VIRGO and aligns with REGULUS. in july she spent 13 days at the 1st degree of virgo because she stationed on this degree. something is coming full circle that began in mid july (and even had intimations of it coming at summer solstice when venus entered her front end shadow).

yes venus is about Love and money- but ultimately relationships or financial situations in our lives simply mirror an inner dynamic playing out inside- and that inner dynamic attracts the outer manifestations we experience. the Highest expression of a healed and whole relationship with venus manifests as deep self-love, self-value, self-respect and self-worth. when we come from a place of honoring and respecting ourselves we then make choices in Love and money situations that reflect that deep sense of self-Love.

VENUS IN VIRGO reminds us that self-Love arises when we take care of our bodies and minds, eat healthy foods, exercise, and have equal parts of work, rest and play. she also reminds us that self-Love is not just about seeing all our Light, beauty and brilliance (which venus in leo was very much about). it’s also about being willing to see and own our shadow. virgo is super discerning and sees where she still has work to do on herself (she can also see very clearly where others have work to do- but her efforts are best channeled into focusing on herself wink emoticon. venus in virgo can initiate us (or takes us further) on a deeply self-Loving journey of inner work, self adjustment and seeking wholeness not from without (in the form of people or things we need to have to feel good about ourselves) but from a place Sourced deeply within.

the MARS/NEPTUNE opposition is still in effect today and tomorrow as well because mars contraparallels neptune tomorrow early evening- making a super aspect between these two that lasts from tuesday to thursday. steer clear of denial, deception of self or others, playing the martyr or the victim, or turning to addictions (not just drugs/alcohol- but also to shopping, sex, attention, computers, work, working out, etc…) to numb the self out. take time to drop into your interior experience- as your Inner Self has something to show you.

have a blessed day…
