With one eclipse down and one more to go, we may find ourselves in undiscovered territory. Eclipse energy invites disruption and change. Taurus is not too fond of chaos and disorder but has the strength, endurance, and willpower to see us through the cosmic storm currently brewing.
The solar eclipse in Taurus on April 30th set off some of the more challenging astrology for the remainder of the spring. This two-week period prior to the lunar eclipse in Scorpio on May 16th can feel a bit like a time warp that leaves us exhausted.
This week starts off with Taurus’ planetary ruler Venus swimming out of Pisces and crashing headfirst into the sign of its detriment, Aries. Venus is uncomfortable in Aries as cooperation and order are not on its agenda. Taurus season will feel a bit spicier from here on out.
From May 2nd through the 28th, Venus is under Mars-ruled Aries reign.
Under Aries’ influence, we may be inspired to try out a new creative style we have been meandering over for some time. We are encouraged to be bold, brave, and take action that aligns us more with our idealized version of reality but felt we couldn’t due to fear. Fear is no longer an option here, we are not limited by the scope of what is acceptable under this influence. We must honor ourselves despite what anyone else thinks.
One of my favorite Natal-Venus in Aries individuals is Rihanna.
I always think about this interview as the perfect way to describe any individual with this placement. Rihanna is an Aries rising as well so Aries energy is super prominent in her chart. This transit will instill similar confidence in us all in relation to our aesthetics, money, and of course, relationships.
We are being asked to move from a place of authenticity in relation to our Venusian desires.
This is an opportunity for a new beginning rooted in our personal truth. The solar eclipse may have invited a state of surrender that allowed us to strip back the facade. The realizations we were left with act as fertile ground to plant the seeds of intention to take action that will lead us to who we were meant to become all along.
Aries desires brutal honesty even if it comes at the cost of someone else’s feelings. This transit may lead us to rub others the wrong way. Fire energy can inspire and warm as much as it can burn and destroy. With Mercury retrograde incoming, there may be breakdowns in communication incoming. Tempers can fly here- it is important to find ways to keep a cool head and think before we speak.
There is a tendency to act rather self-centered when Aries is at the helm of the personal planets. We must walk the line between honoring ourselves and offending others while Venus moves through the warrior’s domain. We may have to draw boundaries in order to avoid being caught in the crossfires of others’ personal desires.
Aries energy draws courage and inspiration from our hearts under this transit. We are ready to take action and stand up for what we want. Venus here is to move us forward out of the dream state we felt when she was submerged in the waters of Pisces. It’s time to be spontaneous and reach for the stars! With Venus in Aries lighting the way we will find ease in achieving the gold standard of what we deserve.
