Venus-Neptune Conjunction

Venus-Neptune Conjunction - Creativity

"To wish was to hope, and to hope was to expect."

— Jane Austen

There is a wealth of creativity and inspiration this week, fueled by the Venus-Neptune conjunction. However, the square from Mars may quickly inflate our expectations. We need some grounding if we are to have any hope of avoiding impatience and disappointment. Relationship difficulties may develop when we feel that we are being held back or don't feel the kind of support the we're hoping for. There is no lack of opinions but opinions aren't likely to hold or stand, due to the heightened placement of Neptune. The lack of clarity and certainty leads to suspicion. The strain on relationships draws much of our focus, especially early in the week. As we move through the week, the pressure seems to ease up significantly and we find some clear, tangible 'threads' of insight that fuels inspiration and encourages sharing. We find more enthusiasm for learning and sharing our insights with others. Our optimism is grounded through foundation building activities. Independence gains more support and we begin to feel the 'spirit of adventure', fostering increased determination and persistence. As Venus moves into sextiles to both Pluto and Saturn, we recognize how important it is to find 'like-minded' allies. With enough awareness, we will recognize that we are most vulnerable when we are isolated. We are in a time when new rules are being developed and new foundations are being laid. The confusion or suspicions that we must deal with this week may push us further toward that feeling of isolation if we don't recognize that we can only maintain our integrity by building collaborative alliances.

Sunday's Mars-Venus square leads to unsteady and unpredictable relationship dynamics. By Monday, inflated expectations bring impatience. Complications may blind us to simple but effective solutions. There may be some 'clean up' to do on Tuesday if our impatience has created any relationship 'wreckage'. If we take some time to listen we will find that the 'clean up process' is especially informative, restoring our inspiration and creativity. There are important new 'threads' to follow on Wednesday. Communication is particularly productive. Optimism is more realistic, open and natural. Creativity and insight brings a spirit of adventure on Thursday, which encourages us to make new connections with others and share our perspectives. We may stay 'on the fence' on Friday under the VOC Moon which lasts most of the day. Impulsiveness will only create further obstacles. We reach the productive 1st quarter lunar phase on Saturday. By embracing a cooperative spirit and maintaining patience, we will find tangible, cooperative support to lay foundations for future progress.
