If you’ve been living the dream life in your relationships, Venus in Virgo brings notice:
Your relationships are about to get real.
Now the dream may very well be the reality of your relationship, and if that is the case for you, congratulations and many wishes for continued bliss!
However, for most of you, Venus in Virgo may be quite an awakening.
So many people get caught up in relationships for relationship’s sake, yet fail to recognize when the relationship doesn’t serve them well in the reality of their lives. There’s the dreamy, romantic relationship ideal that is often represented by Pisces (Virgo’s Zodiac opposite), and then there’s the tangible, no-nonsense relationship reality that is Virgo.
Virgo energy is about the work and service that makes things healed, healthy, and whole. It’s about functionality – making things practical and purposeful, efficient and effective. It wants to make things work on a day-to-day level.
That said, Venus entered the sign of Virgo at 5:41a PDT this morning, July 22nd, and asks you to look at how your one-on-one relationships of all kinds are really working for you. And when I say working, I’m not kidding.
Venus in Virgo reveals the daily work of life through the context of relationship.
- Is your laundry getting done?
- How about the grocery shopping?
- And did your bills get paid this month?
- Did you blow your budget trying to impress someone else?
Those are the kinds of details that need to be addressed while Venus is in Virgo because it’s not just about how the relationship itself functions – it’s also about how your individual life functions while you are in your relationships.
That said, there’s a few more questions to consider:
- Which relationships assist, support, or encourage you in the day-to-day of your life?
- Which relationships help you heal and move on from your mental, emotional, physical, and/or spiritual wounds?
- Which relationships actually make your day-today life easier to attend to?
Answering these questions are the ways that you can assess which relationships are actually healthy and helpful in your life, and which ones are draining you of energy or denying you access to your health and well-being. Venus in Virgo is the time to recognize the roles each of the relationships in your life play for you.
If your relationship can withstand the day-to-day of everyday life, if it can get through the most mundane, boring, and tedious of tasks, then you’ve got a real deal relationship – you’ve got a keeper. That’s what Venus in Virgo is all about – the relationships that can survive the daily grind.
Venus is travelling through Virgo until August 16th, 2013. Take this time to really assess which relationships in your life serve you well and help you to keep things real in the everyday reality of your life.
Thank you for reading and sharing Signs and Numbers. Until next post…
