May 2-28, 2022

With Venus in Pisces since the first week of April, relationships of all kinds have seen a climax and resolution unfold. Pisces is the last sign in the zodiac and represents endings. There is nothing rational or logical about this proverbial death process. Most of the time it’s actually just gut-wrenchingly awkward, not to mention terribly confusing.

Pisces swims in loops upside down, at once chasing and fleeing. This April has been a time where flight responses were triggered in a powerful way. The big question: did you stay or go when the moment came to face something or someone? Everything hidden comes to light, everything unspoken given words. No more evasion, no more denial. No more misinterpretation, no more silent sabotage. The firmer our boundaries, the more likely we are to survive this murky transit. It’s so tempting to give up and just tune out for awhile, but then we find ourselves in uncomfortable social situations.

And now –

a gong of cosmic proportions reverberates throughout the Universe. This is Venus in Aries, where the Goddess of Justice crackles in primeval flames. Aries is ravenous, fervent, fearless; a hot-blooded creature of dawn, adrenaline shattering the stillness. This is the great awakening; the beginning; the rebirth. Venus in Aries brings physical and sexual energy, rushing back after a long winter. Licked clean by the fires of springtime renaissance, we are ALIVE.

Venus is usually the peace keeper and diplomat of the solar system. In Aries, this role is difficult to maintain. Aries is #1 in the zodiac and #1 in his own mind, which means he can be inconsiderate of others. When imbalanced, the ram is neither calm nor tactful. The impatient spring lamb tends to act first, think later. What we get to work on: taming the ego; letting go of minor frustrations and disagreements; choosing our battles wisely.

Let’s harness this energy for potent self-love and self-care. Build heat in your body, release restlessness, and rediscover your thirst for life. Revel in your strength. Remember how delicious it feels to be active. When planets spin through Aries, deep, restful sleep returns (during Pisces transits, insomnia is common), and suddenly it is easier to get out of bed. May your body carry you joyfully through each day. May movement be pleasurable and effortless.
