Dear Astro~News Friend, and Cosmic Co-Explorer,
Here She goes!
VENUS comes out of SCORPIO, and spreads her wings like a Phoenix.
She’s this year the last heavenly body to leave SCO and rise up in SAG:
After MERCURY, the SUN, and MARS.
While it’s coming to an end: The Love Goddess has been in her yearly ‘Underworld Journey’ in SCORPIO since Dec 4.
Not exactly one of her fave places to dwell in – polar opposite of yummy sensual TAURUS which VENUS rules – but: there’s beauty in the deep & dark… (as long as we don’t get stuck there and let its energy control us).
We’ve been (with VENUS in SCO) fascinated by and magnetized to magical, yet also uncomfortable, painful, intense, disturbing, yet hopefully transformational experiences, and gone through the depth with Love.
Now we can rise, move upward again, and feel reborn like a Phoenix, as we’re drawn to the Light.
Heart Light is coming in, during VENUS’s Journey in SAG (Dec 29 – Jan 23)
…while MARS is still in SAG too (until Jan 4), as well as MERCURY retro-to-direct (until Jan 13).
Bringing inspiring and uplifting vibes to the otherwise serious, even heavy CAP season.
The window this season with most SAG energy (besides the SAG New Moon / MARS round Dec 12) will be Dec 29 – Jan 4 (MARS, MERCURY, VENUS).
Time to raise vibrations, see things from a brighter, more positive perspective, stay away from righteous debates, and rather aim for freedom (yours / theirs) to pursue happiness as we / they love to.
Here’s the
Line-up of cosmic events during VENUS’s 3 1/2 weeks in SAGITTARIUS
She adds heart knowing, inspiration, hope, trust, optimism, and fun to the journey, in these still-dark, yet celebratory weeks, mostly in the CAP Season:
DEC 30
JUPITER (Ruler of SAG) in TAU (ruled by VENUS) goes from retro to direct.
VENUS & JUPITER will be in ‘mutual reception’ while She’s in SAG.
Have you cultivated inner values? Are you clearer about what YOU enjoy, independent of what conditioning / society / peers would tell you? Maybe more tranquilo, slowing down, being more in Nature?
Time to live by that understanding / that philosophy.
JAN 1 – New Year’s 2024
MERCURY goes direct again, end of SAG (ruled by JUPITER)
Bringing the inner mental exploration/ preparation / initiation forward into the Journey to / in the New World / New Time.
JAN 4
MARS enters CAP (- Feb 12) where it’s exalted.
Gett’n Stuff Done. (RE)Builder Energy. Integrity Warriors in Action.
JAN 6 – Epiphany / Magi / Astrologers’ Day
JAN 11
New Moon at 20º44′ CAP – approaching PLUTO
Contributing from our Best is most rewarding.
JAN 13
MERCURY re-enters CAP, this time to go fully through until Feb 4.
The mind can turn more to simplicity, quality, longevity, planning, rewarding work, and resilience.
JAN 20 – a big day!
The SUN at the very tail end of CAP meets PLUTO, before both enter AQ (for the SUN until Feb 19, for PLUTO until Sept 1 – 2nd phase -, before fully entering AQ on Nov 19, until 2043 / 44!)
Power to conscious collaboration.
Evolution of a New Humanity arising from the ‘Old Empires’.
‘Dates’ of VENUS in SAG (Dec 29 – Jan 23) with other Planetary ‘Players’ – and Alignment Medicine
DEC 29
VENUS enters SAG.
Spreading our Wings. Love A-Rising.
Walking in Truth, Freedom, and Beauty.
JAN 1 – New Year’s
Day of MERCURY’s Turnaround end of SAG
VENUS freshly in SAG in square w. SATURN in early PI
Take it easy on relational dynamics with issues in the energy field. No need for adding to stories of (self)judgment / rejection. Speak your Heart Truth. Take the high road of freedom & flow.
JAN 3
VENUS in SAG in quincunx w. JUPITER (Ruler of SAG) stat. (turns direct on Dec 30) in TAU (ruled by VENUS) – they’re in mutual reception
Joyful & optimistic start into the year – as we allow for /enhance freedom and let one another be in their happiness.
JAN 8
The waning MOON – before the NM on Jan 11 – in SAG meets ‘Morning Star’ VENUS.
As Old Stories are put to rest, Hope & Love, Trust & Truth, Inspiration & Joy, carry us into the new cycle. Set your Heart on Fire!
JAN 11 – Day of the CAP New Moon
VENUS in SAG in Fire trine with CHIRON stat. (turned direct on Dec 26) in ARIES
Being fresh & free, authentic & lovingly truthful with one another is healing. And when we come from the Heart, it can be more easily reciprocated, and things are more simple.
JAN 14
VENUS in SAG in quincunx with URANUS retro / stat. (goes direct on Jan 26) in TAU (ruled by VENUS)
How about (rather than habitually accumulating & consuming) releasing what you’ve been attached to / ‘sitting on’?
Break old habits of comfort-not-really-comfort, and emBody Freedom.
JAN 19
VENUS in SAG squares NEPTUNE (‘her higher octave’) in PISCES
Living & Loving in LaLaLand? ONEderful for music, dance, romance, without attachment.
This transit can ignite big hopes and dreams, and allow us to be open to attract through uplifted vibrations, to receive blessings, and be in a world of miracles.
A low vibration would be (buying into) over promising, esp. when it comes to possibilities of relationships – with disappointment effects. So rather aim high, aim for freedom.
Let Love & Connectedness flourish. Exude your Heart Light.
JAN 23
VENUS enters CAP (until Feb 16)
Rock-solid and LOVE that’s real.

ASTRO~CONSULTATIONS
Serving you with astrological guidance and perspective, pointing you to Your ‘Inner Cosmic Compass’.
I’d love to inspire you to be in alignment with, and smoothly ‘ride’, those ‘auspicious’ or ‘challenging’ waves of cosmic energies that present themselves at a given time, and, similar to climate and weather, affect our human energy field.
Which can lead to eye opening awareness, growth, healing, release, transformation, and you can feel more connected with yourself and with all-that-IS, in the bigger on-going evolution.
Ultimately, you dwell in a witnessing place in the ‘Hub of the Wheel’ where you are less & less affected, more & more liberated, and self-realized.
I welcome you as a client who is not seeking an ‘old school reading’ from me (“What’s going to happen TO me?”, “What am I supposed to do?”), but to be supported in accessing your own wisdom source, especially in times of a challenging transition, stuckness, transformational crisis, for new perspectives at a crossroad or dilemma, and for important choices.
This is to empowered and liberating ways of working with the ancient and timeless gift of Astrology!
Feeling called to explore your own Cosmic Map, and how it can guide you on your Earthly Journey?
Come over / let’s meet online, for Your private Astro session!
From time to time, I have OFFERS on which you can find on my Astrology for Self Realization FB Page.
Now on, and extended to Jan 6(!): Treat Time Special.
