Venus Retrograde in 2025 and reclaiming the power of Venus

Before getting into Venus retrograde, let’s talk about Venus. Her pantheonic ancestor is the Greek goddess Aphrodite (1-2000 bce), who was said to be the “personification of the generative powers of nature.” She was connected to love, beauty and sexual desire and was sometimes associated with war, as was HER pantheonic ancestors Inanna of Sumeria (2900 bce) and Ishtar of Mesopotamia (3000 bce). Ishtar and Inanna, along with Astarte in the Levant, are the same goddess and these precursors to Venus carried a more powerful archetype. They were associated with the power […]

Planetary news this week: The pressure releases

For me, the conjunction of Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn has felt like a vise of intense energy, putting on the squeeze until I finally let go. For others, there have been life difficulties and changes such as Meghan Markle, whose chart is personally affected by the eclipse and the conjunction falling right on her ascendant, the need for change has been extreme.

As I have written before, events that occur during a conjunction of Saturn and Pluto usually leave a lasting effect and we may not know […]

Venus turns retrograde March 4, 2017 – what does this mean for you?

Art by Immortalized Kaos

Venus usually slips through our lives like a whisper, and we barely experience her transits. Her influence is usually soft and encouraging and I often say that we only really take notice when we experience discomfort of some kind. Even the challenging transits of Venus are benign, offering us only an opportunity to indulge in greater indulgence.

Venus is famous for her influence on relationships. As the goddess of love and beauty, she bestows an attractive power and grace, but that attractive power […]

Mercury conjoins Neptune, Venus enters Pisces

Venus Verticordia*, by Dante Gabriel Rossetti

Mercury is nearing a conjunction with Neptune that will be exact on Friday but will remain in effect for the next few days. Mercury represents the thought function, communication and the manner in which we process our experiences. Neptune is the Great Dissolver, the planet of mystery, mysticism and true spirituality. With Neptune present we face the fact that life more than mere physical reality, and we long to ascend to an experience of the divine.

The conjunction can bring out the best of the two planets or the worst, there is […]

The astrology of Reese Witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon walked away with the Best Actress trophy at the Oscars the other night, making this the perfect time to profile her. I first saw Reese in Pleasantville, where I was struck with her presence and magnetism that seemed far too great for a person of her young years. The next film where she really impressed me was Election, where her bright beam lit up the entire movie. I had a feeling that her obsessively driven character in that film wasn’t far from the real Reese Witherspoon.

Reese Witherspoon’s birthchart shows an Aries Sun, ruled by Mars, and her […]
