If Venus in Capricorn was clay cooling from the kiln, Venus in Aquarius breaks the clay to rearrange the pieces. After becoming fully grounded again, let’s get wild. Venus in Aquarius is a force.
Venus in Aquarius is not touchy-feely. The water bearer’s heart is unhitched, free from moodiness and irrationality, living instead for the power of the erudite and the joy of sharing. Aquarius represents vyana, one of the five prana vayus. Vyana emanates from the core, radiating out through the periphery of the body and beyond to the cosmos. Venus in Aquarius has no ego, connecting instead with community. Life here is cerebral and facilitates a coming-together - to make music or art, engage in friendly competition or babble grandiosely of the future.
As a fixed sign, Aquarius resists change. Prickliness is often just an imbalanced manifestation of the water bearer’s immense passion. Aquarians are most concerned with the welfare of greater society. The ultimate Aquarian dream is a world of real cooperation, without money, laws, jails, borders or restrictions of any kind.
Romance takes a back seat now to adventures and intellectual endeavors. Venus in Aquarius celebrates love in a collective sense. The water bearer is public servant and martyr #1, seeking recognition and social righteousness. Venus in Aquarius will make a scene if her freedom to be as she is feels even slightly threatened but, irony aside, has no patience for self-serving tendencies in others…!
Venus in Aquarius remains in total awareness and rarely drowns in hurricanes of sadness and anger. The water bearer is chatty, tangential, self-sustaining, independent. This is an unusual but refreshing placement for the Goddess of Peace, a little confidence boost for all the women out there traveling long, eclectic, solo journeys. Aquarius is always enveloped in a web of supportive, interesting people. If you don’t have that, you’ll build it now. Hoist your freak flag and watch them come running. Venus in Aquarius really doesn’t care what other people think. This freedom instantly unlocks an ancient truth: our only true purpose is to be ourselves, completely and fearlessly.
The water bearer represents life being lived. So far during this Aquarius cycle it seems that minimal reflection and maximum doing is both deeply satisfying and necessary. Tension disappears when we allow ourselves to stop thinking so much. This transit demarcates a new level of radical, sparkling curiosity. Ascend to a land beyond earth and cloud. Enjoy this journey, you are so deserving. Namaste starseeds.
Celebrate with Aquarius Yoga.
