Listen & Be Heard Weekly Archives

I would like to welcome you to another week of self-diacovery and universal understanding. This week?s forecast of major transits will begin early Wednesday morning when Venus, the planet of personal relationships and artistic expression will enter into the sign of Aries. The energy of Venus in Aries will make you be more aggressive and competitive in your emotional self-expression. Venus in Aries is in its detriment, because Aries is the opposite sign to Libra, which Venus rules. So for the duration of Venus? stay in the Ego ruled Aries, expect people to demand a lot of self-centered personal attention. While Venus is in Aries, the feminine energy of Venus finds herself acting like an insensitive man only out for what she can get. Venus is ill at ease in Aries because as significator of the power of attraction, she cannot find enough stable substance to build into enduring forms. Aries scatters matter while Venus rearranges and combines. The results of their blending will make your personal relationships frustrating at this time, caused by the pursuit of individual pleasures that threatens the security of the relationship. Sex will also become an issue during this Venus in Aries transit, increasing your libidinal drive and making sex more physically and emotionally intense.

This energy of Venus in Aries can also have you seeking love affairs outside your marriage, motivated by selfish and impulsive personal desire. If you start a new relationship during this Venus in Aries passage expect the flame of romance to be hot for awhile, but this kind of intense fire is too inconsistent for the enduring affection it takes to sustain a long term relationship. The positive expression of this Venus/Aries energy is to cultivate inner peace with self, and share your personal inspirations of peace with your lover in your relationship. For those who are not in a personal relationship, and don’t wish to be in one, this transit will give you the ability to be actively creative in your artistic pursuits.

On Thursday the Sun, your source of life and light will conjunct Mercury at 4? Pisces. The energy of this conjunction of the Sun with Mercury will have you initiating conversation with others. Talks about your feelings, ideas and plans will be shared with loved ones and friends. Your phone will be very active today. Look to hear from people from your distant past. Also in your conversation today, your well kept secret will come into the light. This will give you the opportunity to speak your mind and express your point of view, so you can move forward and release the past. The positive expression of this conjunction is that it will shine light on the deeper truths hidden behind the appearances of the everyday world.

On Sunday Mars, the planet of personal drive and ego energy will enter the sign of Aquarius. The energy of Mars in the humanitarian sign of Aquarius will give you the freedom and drive to do things your own way. While Mars is transiting Aquarius you will demand your own independence. You want to be a free spirit to change with the wind. Mars in Aquarius has a group connection also, that means that you will be able to achieve your goals most effectively by working cooperatively with others. This is not a good time to be a loner, even though the Aquarius energy has a kind of detachment from the physical world; you shouldn’t allow your own ego to create conflict with the group. The trick with this transit is to create a balance between your own self-interest and other people’s interest. But don’t deny the expression of your own individuality within the group. It takes strong individuals to make a strong group.

On Monday retrograde Mercury will back into the sign Aquarius, which will redirect your communication toward your friends, and humanitarian interests. How you express yourself socially with your groups of friends will be the theme of this Retrograde Mercury transit. How you communicate in your social functions, and what kind of friends you choose helps support your hopes and wishes. But some of us deliberately chose or associate with inferior types of people in order to be the center of attention, and have people look up to them. If your motives behind your friend selections are negative, then the social affairs and your communications around those social activities would likewise be negative. Now that Mercury is retrograde in Aquarius your negative motives behind your communications with friends, will create misunderstandings and confusion that will force you to reevaluate your selection of friends. Friends will stimulate your reality.

Have a great week, and be a friend.
