Venus and Mars are quite an unlikely pair, though they are essentially two sides of the same coin. While Venus brings together, Mars divides. The former takes pleasure in lush gardens, boudoirs, and amorous activities while the latter prefers bonfires, butcher shops, and all things related to war. When the goddess of love and desire enters the temple of Scorpio, the surroundings are not conducive to her usual Venusian activities. This means that those things Venus represents may be challenged during this time. However, this pairing of opposites can also allow for a deeper emotional exploration of those themes.

Virgo Season
Virgo season = harvest. We are stocking the larders, fixing the barn, counting the cows, and all sorts of other farming analogies. It’s time to reap what we have sown. It’s time to prepare for the changing of the seasons. Alphabetize and color code your records, books, and recipe collections. Take apart anything mechanical that you can get your hands on, clean it, and then put it back together. Make lists…. Lots of lists. Make lists for your lists’ lists. Have good manners. Take your health seriously. Eat fruits and veggies. Floss your teeth. Edit, organize, and streamline everything. Don’t let your mind run away with you!
