Venus

The Full Text
('Cause I'm in THAT kind of a mood.)

Well, as the coronavirus lockdown continues, more and more we're seeing the negative side of Venus come out. People are bored ... so they whine and complain -- without really considering "the alternative" ... which is unpleasant, to put it mildly. In a sane world, being bored beats the living daylights out of being terribly sick ... or dying.

People are "unhappy" about being inconvenienced and being denied their usual pleasures ... and vanity strokes. They want haircuts. They want their nails done. They want to go to a restaurant. They " just want to shake their ass at a bar" -- I actually saw someone say this in their video blog.

So ... what about the people who have to serve them? What about the people they might accidentally infect? What about YOU catching this thing ... and possibly not living through it? Somehow the reality of this -- the cold, stark fact of death -- doesn't penetrate their shallow desire to "feel normal again." The idea that life has changed -- for a long time, possibly permanently -- hasn't sunk in. Venus ... at her worst.

This is the "let them eat cake" mentality of negative Venus. "To heck with everyone else. I just want to FEEL GOOD about myself. I just want to look in the mirror and like what I see. I just want to feel special and pampered. I want my pleasures. I want to be happy." Whether anyone else gets to feel happy while you get what you want is beside the point.

Most appalling of all is this constant drumbeat of concern about The Economy. We need our MONEY, dammit. So people will die. Get used to it. Money. That's what's important. Get back to work. Venus. She's not always pretty. Or even humane.

Venus

The Moon, Venus and Neptune are Astrology's feminine planets. The Moon rules motherhood and family. Venus rules romance, beauty, culture, pleasure and money.

Neptune rules spirituality, artistic inspiration and expression, your intuition and psychic abilities, nursing and healing, transcendence and forgiveness. These are all distinctly yin energies, receptive and feminine.

Venus is involved with relationships, partnerships and close friends -- with their varying degrees of intimacy and identity with "the other" as a form of connection. Venus is also the energy woven through all things of value, all things you enjoy -- like entertainment, comfort, the satisfaction of desires, and the acquisition of possessions

Venus
Your Inner Self of
Survival and Pleasure

In Astrology, Venus symbolizes the Inner Self who falls in love, who wants connection and community with others, the part of you interested in relationships and friendships, the one who seeks companionship -- and offers you and your assets to get them.

Venus energy shows you off as someone of value, someone worthwhile, someone with attractions and assets ... someone with whom connections would be a fine thing.

She also rules your physical resources -- the way you acquire and manage them, how you support yourself materially ... which, in turn, reveals essential bits of your psychological character. The things you value define your personal values, another factor to consider when forming at least semi-permanent bonds. When all these line up, it's a winner.
