Cosmic Weather Forecast — March 8, 2010
Was it the “Oscars” or “What Not to Wear?” I really couldn’t tell when I watched clips of the red carpet event this morning on Morning Joe. The dresses were drab, looked like uniforms, and the hair professionals should all be fired! The horror of epic proportions was mind blogging. In most cases you would astrologically look towards Neptune for information about fashion trends, but this fashion disaster appears to be the handiwork of our celestial beauty Goddess — Venus.
Although it’s hard to find much discussion about dignity in horoscope columns, when Venus is in Aries she is considered in detriment. In simple language, this means that Venus does not feel comfortable in this sign. In Aries, Venus tends to be more aggressive, interested in competitive activities, and craves excitement and physical satisfaction. Venus in Aries likes a challenge, and when it’s in Mars’ sign she will pursue things that are beyond her reach. In addition, Venus needs action in Aries, and it is the aforementioned list of attributions that created the hair frizzing, unkempt appearances of many at the Oscars.
On a more practical level (since most of us have no intentions of going to the Oscars anytime soon), every planetary placement offers us unique energy to use which is no different when Venus is in Aries. Although many astrologers use the word “selfish” when Venus is transiting through this sign, I believe that Venus instructs us to take a deep look at what we really want. Today, spend some time looking inwardly at things you would like to accomplish, and what would make you feel more fulfilled and excited about life. We all have to spend moments analyzing ourselves, our wants and desires, and our personal needs in order to be able to offer anything to anyone else. There is nothing wrong with a bit of healthy selfishness! You CAN have the whole enchilada — as long as you share a taco with someone else.
