Venus retrograde - Jupiter direct - Jupiter aspects
How has your love-life been lately? Retrograde Venus has been throwing a few curveballs your way to teach you the art of compromise. Perhaps you developed a new hypnotic attraction, or perhaps the one you are attracted to now wants another, or perhaps a lover from your past has resurfaced scrambling your brain, tempting you, or perhaps a combination of these things. Venus retrograde cycles are unpredictable. Given her proximity to Saturn and her recent square with Mars, there are also long-term romantic commitments at stake and the need to destroy and transform an existing paradigm. The battlefield is personal relationships, the ultimate goal is the increased value found in a more solid commitment. People who were once bridge builders may be gone from our life, or their pillars weakened — just like a collapsed bridges in the news. The structures that have buttressed our emotional laziness are still subject to some calamity for at least another week or so.
Jupiter is now direct, moving forward. He began moving forward on August 6 — he had been retrograde since April 4. Jupiter is still in Scorpio, deepening our emotional courage, allowing us to expand through faith and spiritual teachings. It is great news that he is moving forward again. Our spiritual efforts may have gotten a bit bogged down lately. The initial stages of a retrograde cycle bring a high capacity for introspection. But after awhile we want to start putting things into practice in the world. The planets’ forward motion supports that more. Especially for those who have their natal moon, ascendant or Rahu in Sidereal Scorpio, you will be able to move forward again, invigorated by recent introspection.
Jupiter cast a very auspicious aspect to Mercury the last couple of days. These have been good ones for learning, teaching and communication of all sorts. However Mercury in cancer is not so enlightened. There has been a lot of sentimental thinking, not discrimination this week. Yet the aspect of Jupiter has brought a more mystical possibility. Also, the Jupiter trine to Mercury and the Sun earlier in the week could have brought about greater income as well. Part of the day Thursday through Saturday Jupiter will be aspecting the Moon, who will be in her own sign of Cancer. This presents the possibility of more mystical and spiritual breakthroughs. They will also be good days for peacemaking. Jupiter is the part of us that sees the bigger picture.
