Weekly Hello

This is a great day! The sun is out, the birds are singing and the cathedral bells a-ringing. Venus is about to enter her own sign of Libra and I’m about to head out for lunch with my middle son. So, where’s the rub? There’s always a rub. And here it is. We may have left behind one of the most unsettling periods of the year – that’s putting it mildly – but we’re heading into another, as the total solar eclipse in Leo is but ten days away.

As I look back on the period from 17 – 30 July with my mundane astrology hat on, so many hugely important developments took place, which can be seen as the seeds of even greater things to come. And it is the same for us individuals. Small signs of success, a casual offer dropped into a conversation, a strange feeling that all is not well; these are never insignificant under configurations like these. So, if you have a feeling there’s more to something than meets the eye, put on your deerstalker and start digging!

But back to Venus. Venus, traditionally known as the Lesser Benefic, is synonymous with love, beauty, harmony and all things nice. And she was all of those things as Greek Aphrodite. However, the Romans worshipped her also as Venus Victrix, the goddess of victory and in Norse Mythology her counterpart Freyja presided over war and death. Which may explain why on a Venus transit we may end up in battles with people, particularly our partners. Then again, kissing and making-up has a lot to recommend it…
