Weekend Astrology Forecast-Venus in Aries Edition
Your Weekend Astrology
@anamariapinedacom
Fiery weekend ahead! The Moon spends the entire weekend in the sign of Aries. Further emphasizing the power of the Venus Retrograde commencing this weekend! Both Moon and Venus in Aries, are favorable for all Fire (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) and Air Signs (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) placements in your Natal Chart.
Under the influence of the Moon in Aries, we are invited to be assertive, courageous, full of vitality and enthusiastic. Aries is childlike and invites us to smile for no other reason than for being alive. As bad as things may be in some area of your life, you are still here on this beautiful Earth and the game is not over yet! Take ownership of your life as Venus enters the retrograde period. Aries is competitive and invites us to be competitive with our own inner critic and shadow. Aries is the sign of the warrior. We are asked to find our inner warrior, lift ourselves from the ground and shake it off. Time to continue moving forward, as Mars (the ruler of Aries) is already moving direct. The motion of life is pulling us forward.
However, there is a pause. Venus, the planet of love, pleasure, beauty, harmony and money is in the sign of Aries as well, going retrograde this weekend until the end of April. Venus in Aries has often been described as naive and innocent. Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac; it begins the journey of the Soul through the Zodiac. It is the spark right at the moment that fire is lit. Aries is the part of ourselves that is forever young and pure. It is the inner fire of spirit that gives us inspiration, dynamism, and drive.
Yet, Aries is also impulsive. It feels the fire in its heart and trusts its honest, pure feelings so deeply and quickly that it jumps without thinking, and leaps into things spontaneously, eagerly and fearlessly. Thus, one spiritual lesson from the Venus Retrograde in Aries, may be to slow down and think things through before jumping into anything.
Venus in Aries invites us to get clear on what we want and why. The retrograde tames the inner fire and asks us to slow down and take our time. In matters of Money (which Venus rules) it may be important to think about how your spending your money, how you want your money to grow and invest in your future. Aries focuses mainly in the present moment, the retrograde invites us to investigate our past so we may make better decisions in our present and future.
In matters of Love (which Venus also rules) we are asked to look over our relationships. Notice what works and what doesn’t. If you are in a relationship, Venus in Aries asks you to take a fresh look at your relationship. What is not working in your relationship? Venus in Aries invites you to address it honestly, fearlessly and confidently. Just be mindful of being too blunt or aggressive in your approach. Instead, be creative. Be fun. Remember what it was like when you first met. Why are you still together? What keeps you there? Remember to date as if it were for the first time, each time. Be in the present. Love in the present. The past can hold you from being happy. Life is now. Not yesterday. If the same reoccurring issues keep happening and you are not able to work on it. Either explore help from friends, family or a therapist or re-examine during this retrograde why you are in the relationship in the first place?
If you are single, Venus in Aries, asks you to work on you. Venus in Aries teaches us that the Self goes first. You are your first relationship. How is your relationship with yourself? Are you being loyal to you? How are you treating yourself these days? Venus in Aries invites us to deepen our relationship with ourselves and explore what truly fulfills us. Venus in Aries is creative. Explore your creativity. Have a hobby. Spend time with you. Do things you love. Deepen self-care. Learn to love you….for real, learn to love you. What would your life be like if you were your own soulmate? Take yourself on a date (stop caring about what people think). Dress up and go explore the place you live. Do something fun. Go to your favorite restaurant. Check out a museum. Take a fun class. Take yourself out for dinner (and make it fancy). Again, what would your life be like if you were your own soulmate and perhaps your own best friend? This is your opportunity to make that happen, once and for all. Then and only then, if you still want to go find another soulmate, then go for it….and like the Ram, Aries, full speed ahead!
Venus in Aries is a huntress. Venus in this sign hunts for love. She looks for her prey, studies them and watches them carefully and when its time. She goes for what she wants. If you are ready to find love, explore during the Venus retrograde period what your options at. Be patient if the dating world is new to you. Be clear on what you are looking for. Know your desires and boundaries. Be communicative. Flirty. Fun. Trust your instincts but don’t jump into anything too quickly. But most importantly, be yourself. You want someone to love you for who you are. Aries is honest and true to itself. Be true to you. Be you. And the right person will find you or in the case of Venus in Aries, you will go find them!
Venus in Aries invites us all to examine what we want and why. Venus in Aries invites us to have the courage, drive and fire needed to begin something in our lives, to let go of something that no longer serves us, and to ultimately make life your own way. This life is your life. For that is the true teaching of Aries. You are the beginning. You are the leader. Lead the way forward. You are the beginning of every chapter and story in your life. You’ve always held the pen in your hand. Maybe you forgot…but I’m here to remind you. You are it! No one else. Just you. What are you gonna do now? You are the answer. May this Venus Retrograde remind you that you have the power to make your life what you want it to be. You are it!
