At 8:17p PST on Tuesday, 16th February 2016, Venus entered the sign of Aquarius. As result, we may see some partnerships forming or blossoming which buck convention in some way over the next 4 weeks.
Whether unconventional in their composition (two parties with opposing or diverging views coming together for a common cause) or unconventional in their collaborative effort (two or more parties coming together to promote or initiate a socially or culturally divergent act), there is something in the air which is bringing people together in a social climate which seems to favor the individual.
A large part of this may have to do with the fact that Uranus – the ruling planet of Aquarius – is currently in Aries. Aries is the “me, me, me” sign – the sign of individuality and initiative leadership. It’s encouraging each of us to be leaders for ourselves in our individual lives. Yet not everyone is eager to embrace their self-leadership or to take responsibility for their personal choices and actions. This is why some people stand out as leaders more than others – this is why more people follow than lead.
To that point, that’s what makes Venus in Aquarius a curious entry into the astrological scene at this time. Individuals are now looking for partners to assist them in furthering their initiatives. It seems that more people who would normally “go it alone” are realizing that they can’t do it alone – they need collaborators. They need a partner or a team. In fact, the more independent that are or have been, the more they may need a partner, collaborator, or team at this time in order to move forward.
But how do you form a team when you’ve got so many people doing their own things?
You allow the people who come into your life to contribute to your journey as little or as much as they can. Recognize that your “team” may not be a traditionally-organized team or group. Instead, it may be everyone around you. Everyone you interact with in your day-to-day activity can contribute to your circumstances in some way. If you can recognize all of humanity as your team – even those who seem to disagree with you – you may find that you gain more information, illumination, and insight to move forward on your path than you ever imagined possible.
Don’t disregard others’ insights and opinions just because they may not be coming from the sources you believe it should come from. In fact, this 2016 Venus in Aquarius is almost a plea to you to seek partnership and counsel from people you wouldn’t normally seek it from. In order to change your status quo, you can’t keep going to the same people and groups you always go to. It’s a perfect time to branch out and find truly new connections in order to make positive progress forward on your path.
Who knows – you may even find a newer or Truer expression of yourself in the process.
The 2016 Venus in Aquarius doesn’t make any transits under the 2016 Aquarius Sun. In fact, it’s rather quiet until the last day of February:
- Aquarius Venus square Juno in Scorpio, most exact on 29th February – Opportunities to connect with new partners may have you realizing that the path you’ve been on may not be the path that aligns with your truth…or that you’re not getting the support you truly need in order to continue walking the path you’re committed to walking.
- Aquarius Venus sextile Saturn in Sagittarius, also most exact on 29th February – New partners or community connections may help you see your circumstances differently. Rather than seeing yourself as stuck, you may recognize that you’re being redirected instead. Is it time to adjust or change your goals or ambitions?
Your best information will come from the most unlikely sources under this 2016 Venus in Aquarius. Keep an open mind and open ears – you never know where what you need might come from or who it might come through.
