New Moon on Monday Astrology

27 October 2011 

Right now Venus (you know, Venus ~ the goddess of love and attraction and beauty and stuff) and Mercury (you know, the Messenger, the tricky one) are travelling side by side through Scorpio (you know, intensity). As they do so, they’re both in the process of squaring Mars (energy, desire, the Warrior that goes for what he wants). Mars is all dressed up in Leo (the sign that shows off), so it might be feeling even more dramatic.

A square is a challenge. The energies are cornering each other. With Venus and Mars, that totally spells sexual tension. With Mercury involved, it gets not only trickier, but talked about.

To make things even more interesting, Mercury and Venus will still be making squares next week, this time to Neptune (the God of the never-ending sea). Neptune has everything to do with shiny stuff and fantasies and deluding ourselves into seeing only what we want to see.

The love stuff right now is anything but boring. Just remember reality’s always gonna kick back in.

ps: i love the wikipedia description of this Botticelli painting. Somehow it feels exactly like the sky does right now. there’s also a ton of Jupiter action, more about that tomorrow xoxo
