Transiting Venus
The Opportunity:
The walls around your heart, built by shame, guilt, fear, are ready to crumble. You’re being asked to step into a deeper level of healing and receiving from life by self-acceptance and your innate worthiness. But every story of not being enough, not being good enough, not being the right thing enough…comes creeping in trying to block out your magnetism. This is truth time, hard honesty time. Can you love your shadow self? Can you love the part of you that wants what it wants, including worldly things like wealth, power, admiration? Can you let yourself live in delicious duality? Because that is the test here.
Pluto’s transit over Venus prompts a deep transformation of your values, relationships, and self-worth. This period calls for a thorough examination of what you value and how you relate to others, encouraging you to let go of old patterns and embrace a more authentic expression of love and self-worth.
During this transit, you may find yourself questioning your values and priorities in relationships. It’s a time to delve into the depths of your heart and to uncover the hidden motivations and desires that drive your relationships. This process can be challenging, as it involves confronting old wounds and insecurities, but it ultimately leads to a more authentic and fulfilling expression of love and self-worth.
The Shadow:
The shadow side of this transit involves feeling unworthy and undeserving of love and abundance. Jealousy, shame, and guilt can arise, blocking your ability to receive love and prosperity. Avoiding these feelings only perpetuates the cycle of self-doubt and unworthiness.
The shadow side also includes the tendency to become overly attached to material possessions and external validation. This can lead to a sense of emptiness and dissatisfaction, as you seek fulfillment in external sources rather than within yourself. It’s important to develop a more balanced and authentic approach to love and self-worth, focusing on inner growth and self-acceptance rather than external validation.
Conjunction:
This transit initiates a profound transformation of your values and relationships. You are called to confront and heal deep-seated issues around self-worth and love. Embrace this period as an opportunity to let go of old patterns and open yourself to deeper levels of intimacy and self-acceptance.
During the conjunction, you may find yourself experiencing intense feelings of love and passion. This is an excellent time for deepening your relationships and exploring new ways of expressing your love and affection. Embrace the process of emotional healing and allow yourself to connect with others on a deeper and more authentic level.
Sextile/Trine:
These aspects facilitate a smoother transformation of your values and relationships. You have an easier time embracing self-worth and attracting love and abundance. Use this period to nurture your relationships and cultivate a deeper sense of self-love and acceptance.
The sextile and trine aspects create a harmonious environment for emotional growth and healing. You may find it easier to navigate your emotions and to develop healthier ways of coping with emotional challenges. Use this time to nurture your emotional well-being and to create a more balanced and supportive emotional landscape. This is an excellent period for therapy, journaling, and other forms of emotional self-care.
Opposition/Square:
Expect challenges and potential crises in your relationships and self-worth. This transit may bring intense feelings of jealousy, guilt, and unworthiness to the surface. The goal is to transform these feelings into a more authentic expression of love and self-acceptance, leading to healthier and more fulfilling relationships.
The opposition and square aspects create tension and conflict, prompting you to address areas of your life that are out of alignment with your true emotional needs. These challenges can feel overwhelming, but they are necessary for your growth. Use this time to identify and release limiting beliefs and behaviors. The process may be uncomfortable, but it will ultimately lead to a more empowered and authentic version of yourself.
