Refocusing on Love and Money |
|
On the 29th of this month, Venus goes Rx . . . and stays that way for the next six weeks - sending all of us into review about the things Venus represents in our lives - and in our natal charts, the things ruled by the house containing Natal Venus, the house containing Rx Venus, and the things ruled by the houses with Taurus and Libra on the cusps.Venus represents your important personal relationships, your important personal values, and the way you handle the material resources - like money and possessions – you need to support yourself. When Venus is Rx, these things, in their broadest sense, receive special attention from everyone because Rx energy is the symbolic indicator that the time has come for "humankind" to back up and re-evaluate these important areas of concern.
You may find yourself assessing, either actively, through dreams or through just idle moments of reflection and musing, what you have accomplished so far, what you have "built" for yourself lately, through your important personal relationships; the application of your important personal values; and your individual dealings with money and possessions - all of which you need for physical survival.
From this almost casual process of review and reverie will come new ideas, new visions, and new directions, changes, and additions you want to make when things start moving forward again. Because Venus is, by nature, more feminine, more passive, than either Mercury or Mars, the effects of its Rx work may be gentler and subtler than "in your face" aggravations of Mars, especially.
Self-awareness can be an important key to "watching this work" - if you are interested. These things will happen regardless¸ but self-awareness makes it better, makes the work more conscious and thus more effective and relevant, and speeds your progress literally on a soul level. But, as always, it's one of those choices you either make or you don't. The more introspective among you can make good use of this information.
In the themes of "summing up," "coming to new realizations," and "reaching at least a temporary sense of closure" . . . matters that are always part of Rx energy, some common questions usually arise. They may be quite "clean" in their expression: What have you achieved? What have you built? What have you contributed? How can you "use" these assets? What value do they represent? What have you gained? How can you "spend" these resources in the future? etc.
The answers that come back may be a little less sunny and wholesome. Venus Rx energy can carry significant connotations of loneliness and "admitting personal failings," of recognizing mistakes, wrong choices, broken hopes and disappointments in your personal relationships, and a sense of "wasted resources" and "failed investments" regarding money and income.
Also, there is often a "reckoning" that occurs with this energy, of more fully understanding how you "gave too much or too little," "how you used or were used," and "how you experienced an uneven, unjust distribution in the areas of "your fair share." And, interestingly, there can be a very strange mixture of ambivalence and "blendedness" in the conclusions you reach during this process, an understanding of how the scales may have tipped "too far" somehow in both directions. This, too, is the metaphor for unbalanced Libra energy, one of the signs ruled by Venus, which is famous for swinging wildly to extremes while theoretically seeking equipoise.
For the signs of Aries, Taurus, Libra and Scorpio, Venus Rx energy always focuses very directly on relationships, personal partnerships, marriage, money, income, possessions, values, earning capacity and spending habits.
Venus was last Rx from July 29th through September 10th, 1999 from 5 degrees of Virgo to 19 degrees of Leo. It will be Rx again in March and April of 2001 from 17 degrees to 1 degree of Aries.
