♪♪ Snacks to satisfy your auditory appetite: Venus in Virgo Soundtrack ♪♪
Venus represents love, harmony, friendship, happiness, peace, diplomacy, agreement, support, romance, style, sensuality, desire, indulgence, extravagance, sexuality, bliss, aesthetics, art/artists, all things beautiful, the feminine, women, sisters, daughters… Her day is Friday and her color is light blue-green, just like the sea foam that the goddess Aphrodite arose from. Where Venus is in a birth chart will tell us what we are attracted to, what we value, and how we see ourselves.
Virgo is an earthy, changeable, feminine sign ruled by the planet Mercury. Virgo is where we prepare as best we can for a coming season that we cannot predict. It is about taking stock of what we have created and organizing it in a way that will be most useful. Mercury is a flighty planet. We see depictions of Hermes in winged shoes. He is the messenger god, known for speed and the ability to change course at a moment’s notice. The signs under his rule are places of great intelligence, wit, and mental agility. In Virgo, we often find those qualities manifesting through detailed work performed by the physical body. This sign is top notch when it comes to taking things apart and putting them back together in a more efficient manner.
Venus and Mercury are not the likeliest of partners. The former takes pleasure in lush gardens, boudoirs, and amorous activities while the latter prefers marketplaces, gaming houses, and tabulations. When the goddess of love and desire enters the temple of Virgo, the surroundings are not exactly conducive to her usual Venusian activities. This means that those things Venus represents may be a bit challenged during this time. However, this improbable pairing can also allow for a more logical and focused approach to such matters.
When Venus is debilitated, as she is in Mercury’s home, we can see things like:
- Guilt or shame around sexuality and the body
- Undervaluing ourselves
- Fear of lack, not allowing ourselves to spend money on things that will make us feel good, austerity
- Difficulty in relationships with women and people who have Sun, Moon, or rising in Taurus or Libra, or Venus in the first house
- Health issues, especially nervous disorders and cardiovascular issues, affecting women and people who have Sun, Moon, or rising in Taurus or Libra, or Venus in the first house
- Overanalyzing our sensual desires
But more positive outcomes are always possible…
- Channeling our desires in a left brain manner (numbers, words, data)
- Organizing art supplies, wardrobes, gardens, etc.
- Streamlining the creative process
- Preparing ourselves for the next step in or to be more available for potential romantic partnerships
- Creating a budget
- Attraction toward people with strong Virgo influence, Virgoan archetypes, or Mercurial characters
Stay tuned for more transmissions on this topic as we proceed further into the feely feels of it.
