Venus in Aries ♀ 2024

Apr 4-19, 2024

With Venus in Pisces for the last week, we are seeing a climax and resolution unfold in our most important relationships. Pisces is the last sign in the zodiac and represents endings. This proverbial death process is not easy. It’s actually gut-wrenchingly awkward, if not hurtful or confusing. The flight response is triggered in a powerful way in Pisces’ ocean. The big question: are we staying or going?

Before we enter Venus in fiery newborn Aries, everything hidden must come to light, everything unspoken given words. No more evasion, no more denial. No more misinterpretation, no more silent sabotage. It’s hard, but we have to open up and be more emotionally honest with ourselves. I know heading for the nearest exit is deliciously tempting, but we will find ourselves in strange, confusing situationships if we do this. Firm up your boundaries, take a deep breath babies, and then –

a gong of cosmic proportions reverberates throughout the Universe. This is Venus in Aries, where the Goddess of Justice crackles in primeval flames. Aries is ravenous, fervent, fearless; a hot-blooded creature of dawn, adrenaline shattering the stillness. This is the great awakening; the beginning; the rebirth. Venus in Aries heralds a mega influx of physical and sexual energy. Licked clean by the fires of springtime renaissance, we are ALIVE again.

Venus in Aries catapults relationships into new, fiery trajectories. Aries is #1 in the zodiac and #1 in his own mind, which means he can be inconsiderate. When imbalanced, the ram is neither calm nor tactful. The impatient spring lamb tends to act first, think later. What we get to work on: taming the ego; letting go of minor frustrations and disagreements; and choosing our battles wisely.

We can harness Aries’ potent energy for self-love and self-care. Direct it inward. Build heat in your body, release restlessness, rediscover your thirst for life. Revel in your strength. Remember how delicious it feels to be active. When planets spin through Aries, deep, restful sleep returns; during Pisces transits, insomnia is common.

***Heads up: Mercury Retrograde begins Apr 1***

Apr 8: Total New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries 

Apr 19: Venus conjunct Mercury Retrograde + 1st day of Taurus Season. Life feels fresh, exciting, novel, invigorating, abundant. Excellent influence for all things social.

Apr 20: Jupiter in Taurus conjunct Uranus. This conjunction comes just once every 12 years. This is an excellent time to travel, take risks, and/or jump into something entirely new. Everything about this conjunction is progressive and exciting. The soul is extremely ready for change at this juncture. It will likely be drastic, like moving to a new place, quitting your job, or leaving your partner. Wherever you are in life, the spirit demands freedom. Move, groove, shake loose. The planets are with you; you cannot fail.

Apr 23: Full Moon in Scorpio 🦂

Apr 25: Mercury Retrograde ends! ✨
