An important and very special sextile aspect between Venus and Mars occurs on March 11, 2023.

Venus is the archetype of beauty, of what we like, how likeable we feel and also how much we are liked. Mars is the libido of desire, lust and masculine principle and has opportunities with this meeting as Mars claims her, wants her and is ready to take the initiative to make her his.

An aspect of erotic passion but also a creative aspect since harmony is combined with action and thus the creation is born as the fruit of the union of the two sexual archetypes Venus and Mars.

How wonderful you will remark so it is possible to meet someone or someone, to feel the attraction or to indulge in the charm that someone or someone exerts on us.

 

YES… but not ONLY THOSE and not THAT EXACTLY…

Looking synthetically and in its entirety at how the cycle of the two planets moves I notice some very specific characteristics.

While Mars and Venus formed aspects to each other six times(!) in 2022, their sextile on March 11 will be their third in a row in 2023… and their next aspect will again be a sextile but… almost a year(!) from today and specifically on February 22, 2024!

What does this mean?

And why is it happening…?

 

Aside from the fact that the weeks just before and after Valentine’s Day in 2024 will be erotic, in the present and for 2023 it means that until then… the two planets will NOT come into an exact Ptolemaic aspect.

This is because as Venus will begin to approach Mars to conjunction, it will reach within five degrees of Mars in early July when both planets will be in Leo, and there she will once again begin to move away from him as Mars will gain speed while Venus will instead further reduce hers, until she turns retrograde on July 22, 2023.

So it’s as if she is turning her back on him, as if she is hesitant to go, as if she is at that time having second thoughts or just wants to take her time to better assess the situation.

But she doesn’t let him but rather takes her time, does her re-calculation and after turning direct she begins to form a prolonged sextile with him between about September 10th and October 10th 2023.

A sextile which will be NEARLY formed as the two planets approach within 1 degree of each other, but which will NOT FINALLY be EXACT, until four more months will pass and we arrive on February 22, 2024!

It’s as if the two lovers want to be together, or are already together, just that something is still not working the way they want it to, something is not exactly the way Venus wants it to be, or something is not the way Mars wants it to be.

What does it all mean?

SINGLE ONES
New relationships that you make in the coming weeks have a very good chance of developing but will go through a period of revision in the summer before finally smoothing out gradually in September-October.

IN A RELATIONSHIP
If you are considering the next step this can be taken, just be prepared for “ups and downs” until you both feel equally prepared/ready. Generally this is a time when the relationship will deepen further after first going through a period of necessary work on yourselves.

IF YOU WANT TO RECONNECT
For those of you who have broken up and are considering a reunion the next few days through March 16 are ideal. After that things get more difficult until July when Venus retrograde will bring possibilities again.


NOTE: Naturally all of the above are general and are based only on the Venus/Mars cycle which I have presented, and do NOT take into account your personal horoscope in which there will be various other astrological factors, some positive and some negative, which should be studied, especially since we are talking about a movement between Venus and Mars which unfolds over a period of several months.

But… you get the general idea!

SEPTEMBER 29-30, 2021: MOON IN LAST QUARTER, VENUS TRINE NEPTUNE, SUN TRINE SATURN

By astrologer, Andrew Ifandis

Thoughts, reviews and re-evaluations around our relationships and how we relate, as Mercury is retrograde in Libra.

This is a time of introspection, and as the Moon is in her last quarter in the sign of Cancer, it is an inner process that makes us see clearly our needs for companionship.

The needs are those of domestic warmth. It is pampering and our deep longing to belong. To share and feel safe. Indulge in caresses and love without limits. Transcend your needs, share your insecurities.

Relationships are like little babies who need to be cared for. It is important to show affection to your loved ones. Apologize, forgive. Love transcends ego, and romance overflows. Love awakens the child in us.

Share emotion without it making you lose your confidence. Take responsibility. Your desires must be just and aimed at harmony. Consistency in giving, when combined with tenderness, brings happiness.

This is the lesson of the days.

THE PERFECT STORM !! - The planetary scene from September 21 to October 20, 2020


THE PERFECT STORM !! – The planetary scene from September the 21th to October 20th

By astrologer, Andrew Ifandis

 

“Perfect Storm” is a term from meteorology used to describe a combination of rare and adverse events that all together contribute to the aggravation of an already difficult weather situation.

Unfortunately, this is the term that describes the planetary scene of these last days and up until October the 20th, a period within the intensity of this difficult and pivotal year 2020, practically peaks.

Today, in the following hours, and in the following days, a series of difficult aspects on the Cross of the Cardinal Signs culminates in numbness, tension, anxiety and worries. It is a series of aspects that mainly affect the third decan of the Cardinal Signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn), but also all of us without exception, since somewhere at some point in our Horoscope, the storm is touching us, some of us more and some others less.

Mercury has squared to Pluto three days before, on September the 21st , and then squared to Saturn yesterday, and the clouds of doubt, difficulty in communication and pessimism began to gather. The Moon today in a square with the Sun in Libra reminds us how vulnerable relationships are, as our wants and needs are pressed by the difficult circumstances.

Mercury has come in conflict with Mars less two hours before, as the discomfort and indignation from the retrogradation of the second, has already begun to accumulate.

A short break and the storm thickens dangerously as Mars Rx forms a square to Saturn on September the 29th  while the Sun on the same day, in opposition to Chiron, paints the clouds with rosy shades reminiscent of wounds that are about to open.

The Full Moon on October the 2nd peaks the emotions and opens the wounds, and Mercury on October the 8th, in its opposition to Uranus, opens the bag of Aeolus bringing confusion and nervousness.

The climax comes as, on October the 9th, Mars is forming a tremendous square to Pluto, a square in the very same degree where Saturn and Pluto met on January 12, 2020, inaugurating this shocking year, and it is now that the storm is raging.

The Sun from October the 10th until October the 18th, will in turn oppose Mars Rx in Aries, and then will form two squares, the first with Pluto and the later with Saturn, while between these two squares we shall have the very difficult New Moon on the 16th of the month.

The last thunderbolts will be heard in crescendo as Mars will make a final square to Jupiter on October 19th , and from 20 of October onwards, Venus in successive triangles to Jupiter, Pluto, Saturn, will begin to somewhat help relieve the barometric low.


Ι have said, since the beginning of the year, that 2020 is pressure and patience. It is a pivotal year where only those who can withstand the pressures, and understand the lessons, as well as the need to transform deep-rooted and structural behaviors, habits and elements that defined them until today, only those will be able to emerge victorious.

And they will emerge victorious having formed from the pressure, a small diamond in the core of their existence. Diamond: a word I like to use, as a symbol of the crystalline core, of clear and pristine perception and intention, and the sheer adamant will, all of which are needed to cope and endure the difficult conditions ahead.

Of course, during this storm that peaks in the following days, there exist a few moments of sunshine or moderated intensity, from aspects that act as beacons on the horizon, but the essence remains that: THIS FOLLOWING PERIOD IS WHEN THIS DIFFICULT YEAR TOPS.

It is a period that requires patience, perseverance, responsibility. It requires calmness, vision, and to be in touch with our center. A clear mind. Now is the time that above all, FAITH in our powers, but also in the wisdom of the Universe, and the grace of the Creator that will guard us. Someone up there knows better than you… about you. Do not forget this.

This is what I had to say to you, not because I want to discourage you, but instead because I want to remind you that you can, that you will overcome, that you will endure, that you will emerge victorious and that after any storm… calm and serenity always come.

SATURN STATIONS DIRECT IN CAPRICORN – 18 SEPTEMBER 2019

Sharing is caring:


Saturn stations direct in Capricorn on September the 18th 2019 after a long period of being retrograde since April 30th 2019. Saturn will remain direct for eight months, and in its direct motion that will last until the 11th of May 2020, it will transit the Sign of Capricorn from 13°55′ up to the end of the Sign. It will then enter the Sign of Aquarius and move up to 01°57′  where it will turn retrograde once more.

Saturn is the planet of matter, reality, boundaries and difficulties. It is the planet of patience and reward for our labors. It brings hardships but also bestows wisdom. It recycles the karmic time, bringing us again and again in front of persons or situations, until we do comprehend our lesson and mature.

During the period of Saturn’s retrograde motion, we may have been dealing with issues related to:

  • How do we set our limits towards others? Is it that we may not do it, and as a consequence it is us that we take on their responsibilities?
  • Are there persons who make us sad with their behavior precisely because we have not make them understand our boundaries and up to where certain things are allowed?
  • On the other hand, are we the ones who restrict and oppress others because we may be rigid in our views or very strict?
  • Is social and professional recognition so important that we are to be deprived of leisure and joy for their sake?
  • Why don’t we relax and let go in the flow of things instead of trying to organize and control everything?

The period where Saturn is retrograde is characteristic for its strong learning and evolutionary influence and part of this process is to also come to grips with our fears. Fear is often experienced as a paralyzed feeling that cancels our every choice and imprisons us emotionally. In reality, our fears are the psychological expression of the limitations we experience in our everyday life.


But if we think about it, these fears are the result of limitations and difficulties that we ourselves have placed upon us, precisely because in the past, we had not dared to set our limits and so other people and situations imposed their own on us, so now we only have few or no other choices at all.


This very awareness is redeeming and part of the inner process of re-defining boundaries and limits towards others, against situations and most importantly in ourselves.

With Saturn’s direct motion, all the previous considerations have been completed and a new period begins in which the above ferments are maturing within us, and we gradually start to practically apply what we have learned.

  • We reshape our boundaries towards others.
  • We become more confident about ourselves and our aspirations.
  • We face any difficulties with more rigor and with greater patience.
  • We achieve our goals by working more efficiently and in an organized manner.
  • We do not labor or strive and more importantly we do not oppress others if we have in the past.

At the karmic level, the Saturn Rx endoscopic process has accomplished its purpose and our “lesson” has been perceived.


Saturn’s direct motion through Capricorn, the sign of patience, work duty and responsibility brings truth and maturation allowing us to move forward for the next period, until May the 11th 2020, when Saturn will turn once more retrograde so us to repeat the lessons.

In the chart of his station, Saturn makes a sextile to Neptune in Pisces and is in a close conjunction with the South Node. Moon is making a trine aspect to Saturn while Mars is leaving with a separating trine.

Having absorbed the lessons of the retrograde motion, now it’s the time to:

  • Face our responsibilities (Saturn in Capricorn)
  • Work on the opportunities that are now present to make our dreams come true, starting with a realistic basis and with faith in our abilities. (Saturn sextile Neptune)
  • Exploit the wisdom and the lessons learned during the retrograde period.
  • Combine practical insight with disciplined ambition and make a desired career move (Mars trine Saturn)
  • Understand how can we better ourselves, by slow patience and emotional strength. The need is to turn to the basics, go with the flow and release all the burden of our karmic past. (Moon in Taurus trine Saturn in Capricorn)

VENUS RETROGRADE IN SCORPIO 2018

VENUS RETROGRADE IN SCORPIO 2018

VENUS RETROGRADE IN SCORPIO 2018


Venus the planet of Love and Beauty will be retrograde, initially within the Sign of Scorpio and later on towards the end of its retrograde motion, within the Sign of Libra, affecting Scorpio, Taurus, Leo and Aquarius Signs that are born in the first decan, as well as Libra, Aries, Cancer and Capricorn Signs that are born in the last days of their Sign.

The Aesthetics of Retrograde

Andy Warhol, in his painting “Details of Renaissance Paintings, Botticelli, Birth of Venus”, is re-visiting Botticelli’s Venus and re-paints her with pop aesthetics in order to comment on the commercialization of the ideal of Love, the superficiality of being vain and to make the viewer stop and ponder on the notions of “relating” and “beauty”.

That is exactly what Planet Venus is callings us to do while in its retrograde period. It triggers a process of re-evaluation of our own self-worth, our own internal beauty. We are called to re-assess the expectations we have from others and at the same time to see how it is that we ourselves relate.

 

Venus retrograde October – November 2018

Venus, the planet of Love is going to turn retrograde on October the 5th from 10°50’ degrees of Scorpio.

During her retrograde course Venus will appear to move backwards in the night sky, and shall gradually retreat within the sign of Libra on November the 1st. There its retrograde motion will continue until November the 16th when it will finally station direct at 25°15’ of the Libra Sign, before moving direct again.

This is a two thirds journey of backtracking in Scorpio and one third in Libra.

Within Scorpio Venus expresses with the deepest of feelings and fixates on intense pleasure. It demands core bonding with other persons, infuses romance with sex and our connections with deep meaning.

For the period that Venus will be retrograde within the Scorpio, expressions of love will be mostly introvert and will be intrigued by Mars male assertion, Mars being the ruling planet of Scorpio in traditional Astrology.


Venus retrograde in Scorpio is

the smoldering desire of a subdued and submissive romanticism.


Only when the planet enters Libra the feeling will change. Venus will still need to belong but will adopt a lighter mentality in the process of re-evaluating how she relates, seeking more balance in relationships and now capable of seeing the other side.

 

The Karmic Effect

The very symbolism of Venus moving backwards means that a person from the past may re-appear. If this is the case, it only happens for a reason.

We must “remember” the relationship we have had with this person in the past, what it meant then and what it means now, for our present and for any existing relations or commitments.

We are called to redefine this relation with the past person in a clear and karmic – free way.

 

Venus in Retrospective Mood

During this forty days Venus retrograde period we turn inwards and wonder:

  • What is that we want from a relationship and from our partner?
  • Do we want to be in a relationship just only for the sake of not being alone?
  • Which are the motivations and our deepest desires?
  • Can we strip away layers of jealousy or control and reach again down to the core of the feelings?
  • Is our relationship superficial, pop and “appearances-only”, lacking meaningful deepest sharing?
  • Are we appreciated as much as we deserve?
  • Do we re-return appreciation and value our partner?

The very nature of these questions, whether we are in a relationship or not, concerns first and most to ourselves and while it mainly relates to love relations it also touches, one to one partnerships, business relations and our socializing in general.

All these questions is a necessary part in this process of introspection that clears out situations, makes us feel better with ourselves and prepares us or a more sociable period when Venus will be again direct.
