Special Astrology Report: Venus Moves Into Virgo
July 21, 2021 – August 16, 2021
The Craft of Loving
By Dawn M. Harrison at Wild Witch Astrology
Venus – the planet of Love, Beauty, Harmony, and Connection – enters the sign of Virgo this week, where She’ll remain for a little less than a month.
Venus represents your “love nature” – the part of you who seeks to connect with what, and who, you love. As an archetype, She governs your quest for beauty, true connection, peace, and harmony – guiding you to a greater understanding of what it truly means to “invest” in yourself and others.
In the sign of Virgo, the sign of the Earth Priestess, She asks for dedication – dedication to your body, dedication to your mind, and dedication to all of the pieces and parts of you that allow you to connect and love as your best self.
Venus in Virgo is about the craft of loving. Any planet in Virgo is the “Priestess of your earth” – whose purpose is to tend to the garden of your life as if it is the most sacred of ground… because it is. That means that your life – everything from your relationships, to your body, to your mind, to your home, and to your finances – deserves everyday loving, and patient commitment to its care.
While Venus continues through Virgo this month, She’ll:
- Oppose Jupiter in Pisces (7/22) – reminding us, right off the bat, that the craft of loving ourselves and others requires compassionate understanding of both our strengths and our perceived frailties. We are all works in progress trying to find our way home;
- Square off on the Lunar Nodes (7/29) – reminding us that living the life that we love is really not that far from us. It’s a step-by-step and day-by-day journey of letting go of the old and embracing the new;
- Trine Uranus in Taurus (8/3) – inviting us to break out of old patterns of relating and loving, because, if we want different results, sometimes we’ve got to be willing to simply do life differently;
- Oppose Neptune in Pisces (8/9) – highlighting the areas of our life where fantasy is yearning to meet reality. With work, patience, and a willingness to release the illusions, it is possible to make that dream real.
- and trine Pluto in Capricorn (8/11) – reminding us that love, the real craft of love, can never be bought, sold or controlled. It is the result of our willingness to do the transformative “work”… every day.
To feel into the emerging messages of Venus this month, perhaps begin by asking yourself –
Where am I being called to compassionately and patiently commit myself to the craft of loving?
What areas of my life are seeking my everyday and dedicated attention?
And, in what ways can I make space for the everyday routines/rituals that I know will improve my health, my body and my sense of well-being?
This is the time to remember that your journey of life and love is a process. Be honest, yet patient, with yourself. This is the time to compassionately hone your own craft of loving.
