This last month, we have had Venus opposing the majestic Pluto.
Venus is the planet which symbolises love, beauty, your value system – what you love, who you love and how you love, and also your finances.
Pluto is the planet of deep transformation, and where Pluto is in your natal birth chart is where you are required to transform that part of your life several times in your lifetime.
This Venus opposite Pluto transit ended on the 14th of August, just two days after the Full Moon in Aquarius.
Venus is regal and playful in Leo which marries very differently with the sombre rule-driven Pluto in Capricorn. Hence, during this time, you were challenged to review your love relationships – are there power struggles at play, and, if so, do you need to engage in them? I mean, do you really? If so, why? Maybe it is better to let go. Just go play!
Venus was also conjunct Ceres, planet of nurturing around land and family. Time to gently nurture what you have, those you love.
Or you may also have found yourself drawn to love your loved ones even more deeply. How beautiful is that? For me, my loved one is currently doing his own astrocartography as he sails solo around Ireland. I had a beautifully deep, yet free, conversation with him recently. All the while, I continue to embody my own astrocartography here with Neptune on the Isle of Wight. By the time I complete my four-month Professional Yacht Master Course in early February 2023, we will be sailing equals.
I bonded with my love over a shared passion for sailing the minute we met. How beautiful is that? And here we both are, well over a decade later, quietly living our sailing dreams, in vastly different ways. Who knows what the sailing stories will be like when we next meet?!
What do you wish to transform?
So, during this deeply soulful transit, I hope you took time out to deeply reflect on where in your life you most wish to transform. For me, it has been to the astrocartography of a sailing life – hello Neptune!
Being with like-minded souls – fellow sailors – these past few weeks has been deeply nourishing. I am finding and creating my new tribe. I have been following my planetary lines as here Mercury trines my Midheaven. Despite the theory sailing courses being so difficult, I passed my Yacht Master theory two weeks ago. Thanks Mercury!
And this week, I finally delve deep into the mind-blowing and ancient art of celestial navigation. Which I intend to marry with astrocartography in the coming months, more of which anon!
May this time enable you to be deeply transformed in all that you love, may you find new deeper loves should you feel the need, and may your current loves become ever deeper and more soulful. May you enjoy and cherish this most transformative time.
