Venus entered the sign of Aquarius yesterday at 6:57p PST. With this transition, the focus of our one-on-one relationships and partnerships now shifts from goals and intentions to our associations and affiliations – our group and community participations.
This is a very interesting and powerful shift because you may experience this Venus in Aquarius energy in one of two ways:
1) Your public groups, associations, and/or social circles (friends) may prove to have a great deal of influence on your one-on-one relationships or partnerships.
You may find that you seek the counsel of your friends or associates when it comes to dealing with your partnership matters, or you may notice that you allow your friends or associates within your social and/or professional circles to have a lot of say in regard to your partners of all kinds.
You may also become aware of how much you need a partner who gets along with your friends, and that partners who try to take you into new social circles or new social activities present great challenges for you – challenges that you don’t want to overcome or work out. In other words, having to change your social patterns or routines is a deal-breaker for you.
2) Your partners could have a lot of say in your social circles and public affiliations you are part of, influencing your participation in these groups.
During Venus in Aquarius, you may find your social activities and affiliations, or even your circle of friends changing significantly due to the influence you allow your partner to have over these aspects of your life. You may start spending less time within your own circles and more time with your partner’s friends and associates, or you may even disappear from your old social scene altogether to adapt an entirely new lifestyle.
You may find that your partner is just that important to you, and if your long-time friends and associates don’t understand or support your partnership choice, then that is your deal-breaker with them. You are willing to make the lifestyle changes necessary to be in partnership with this other person.
Now remember – Venus in Aquarius affects partnerships of all kinds, not just romantic. Business partnerships, platonic friendships, family relationships, etc – any connection that involves two people is affected by this influence. And in Aquarius, your social and public circles are also powerfully affected.
And the bottom line is that during Venus in Aquarius, we are all assessing our partnerships and one-on-one relationships in the context of our social and public lifestyles, groups, and affiliations. Some of us will allow the partnerships to dictate our course, while others will allow the groups we associate with to do so.
Either way, THE one thing you need to remember through it all is…who do YOU want to be?
Who you want to be in your life is key because with us being under the influence of the Aquarius Sun for another 16 days, it is extremely important to acknowledge your individual self and who you are called to uniquely be in this world. Without your individual and unique role being fulfilled, we all miss an important piece of our own personal and human evolution.
As you look at your partnerships and your associates and friends under the influence of Venus in Aquarius, ask yourself:
- Who is giving you the most inspiration and illumination about who you are?
- Who is supporting and encouraging you when you want to follow your passion or when you want to heed the call of your inner truth?
- Who accepts you as you are, without trying to make you someone you’re not or someone you don’t really want to be?
- Who intrigues you in a way that makes everyday exciting or unusual in a positive way for you?
- Who empowers you or inspires you to be a better person in and/or for the world?
These questions can help you sort out for yourself the relationships you need to keep and the relationships that may have run their course. Therefore, under Venus in Aquarius, there may be many unions and reunions as well as breakups and endings.
The thing to remember through it all is that Venus in Aquarius reminds you that your relationships of all kinds are intended to help you individually learn, grow, develop, and shine your individual expression Light in the world. They are teachers for you, and in turn, you are a teacher for others when you embrace your role fully. Therefore, the company you keep during your journey helps you or holds you back in becoming who you are meant to be.
That said, look at all of your relationships with your True individual expression in mind, and choose what most empowers and inspires you to be yourself.
This influence will be present through February 25th, and you and all of the people in your life will be better for your choices made during this 2013 Venus in Aquarius period.
Thank you for reading and sharing. Until next post…
