“…it is precisely because the world appears to us to be multiple, ambiguous, and paradoxical, that we must strive to speak and write clearly.”

Mark Dintenfass

Venus escapes the tight grip of the week’s conjunctions to Saturn and Pluto. The fog clears a bit — but only enough to see the demands that stretch out in front of us. Responsible initiative is possible today. The Moon sets off a Grand Water Trine to Mars and Neptune producing an overwhelming emotional and inspirational outpouring of creativity. The watery influence offers properties that allows us to somehow mix together increased demands and powerful inspiration into something tangible and incredibly promising. In essence, we are asked (and have the capability) to blend spiritual, mental, and emotional aspects of life together in amazing new ways.

There’s a seductive, sexual, sensual energy flowing. Relationships are deepening and/or entering a point of no return. It would definitely be advisable to be clear-minded and sober when making major life decisions, especially surrounding love, sex, money, and relationships. What seems like a good idea in the moment may not feel so good when the honeymoon wears off. Still, with a Venus-Pluto conjunction, there’s a powerful transformation underway, asking you to consciously release conditioning surrounding sex, money, relationships, success, and security, especially as defined by society. You needn’t sell your soul to get ahead. This is a chance to dig deeper for your values and integrity. When you compromise those, all is lost. Stay true to those and you could mine gold.
