Many of us are often quick to get into relationships, and sadly, equally quick to get out of them. Yet the best relationships take time, and often need that time to grow and mature.
Under the influence of Sagittarius, Venus finds that it has the freedom to grow and expand into its inherent abundance and wisdom. It also has the space to explore new realms and dimensions of relationship.
Venus moves out of the dark and emotional depths of Scorpio into the bright and exuberant sign of Sagittarius at 8:39p PST tonight, Saturday, December 15th.
But don’t think that things are going to suddenly be all warm and fuzzy with Venus’ change of sign placement.
Many of us have idealistic notions about what relationships entail, believing that everything “should” be smooth and easy and warm and fuzzy the whole time if a relationship is “good”. We think that challenge and difficulty is a “bad” thing, so we walk or run away from relationships when things get a little rough around the edges.
What we often fail to recognize is that it’s those rough edges that help our relationships, in the spirit of Sagittarius, grow and expand. And as result, the growth and expansion of the relationships also helps the individuals within the relationships grow and expand as people.
Venus in Sagittarius may help two people grow together as a couple. You may find that during this time, you provide each other with more encouragement, support, and/or companionship or partnership than usual. You may do everything together, or you may do almost everything separately. But either way, each of you always feel like you have each other’s backs and are making each other stronger and more fulfilled individuals over time.
However, some of us may find while we are under the influence of Venus is Sagittarius that two people, as individuals within a relationship, are also both growing…but in different directions. You may find that the direction of your partner is not your direction, and that it does not serve you or them well to stay together. Doing things together may find you in constant conflict or resentment of each other, and there may be no encouragement or support of one another to pursue individual or collective goals.
Sagittarius is optimistic and expansive fire energy. So when Venus and its focus on one-on-one relationships and partnerships is warmed by Sag’s fiery warmth, there is an opportunity for us to look for the most positive and inspiring way to grow – whether that growth leads us together or apart. Whichever direction is moves us, as long as we hold the intention that the growth is for the highest good of each and all involved, we can move forward with positive and warm feelings. And because it is expansive, we can share the warmth of our unions and separations with all others around us.
One note of caution: Venus in Sagittarius may encourage you to take generosity to an extreme. In its expansive and joyful nature, especially during the holiday season, it may encourage you to go a bit too far to encouraging or supporting someone else in order to save a relationship or two. You may find it difficult to pull back the reins when Sun in Capricorn’s subjective focus kicks in less than a week from now. Be very aware of how you are extending yourself within your relationship with others and what the impact of your gifts may be upon their life…and your own.
Enjoy this warmer, more positive energy and the potential for joyful expression in your relationship experiences – both in the growing togethers and the growing aparts – with Venus in Sagittarius.
Thanks for reading and sharing. Until next post…
