Venus in Aquarius: Return of The Forbidden Fruit.
Venus, the planet of love, desire and lust enters unorthodox Aquarius reorienting love and relationships towards unexpected routes.
Welcome to the predictably unpredictable!
Venus in Aquarius likes to break all convention when it comes to love and connection. That should surprise nobody. It’s actually a stereotype of a sign that doesn’t like to be stereotyped and we’re in for a ride this go around.
The vibration of Venus in Aquarius is electric. It brings up questions about excitement, long term commitment and the very first person that gave us butterflies and as expected, the highest probability is that person past or present that awakened desire in us is complicated, unavailable or unattainable whether by choice or the force of social circumstances.
Enough with the riddles!
Under Venus in Aquarius, connections we make are unconventional with unconventional people that live unconventional circumstances, so most probably there’s a huge obstacle to our long term union with them and that ranges from age difference to their prior commitment or marriage before we came along all the way to trust issues and fear of vulnerability. Yes, We’re not kidding when we say unconventional. The one element, however, that is always present with Venus in Aquarius is relationships are going to have to face a clash with convention and tradition. If Aquarius energy LOATHES one thing, it is conformity and when that extends to love, it brings out a need to rebel against social judgment.
The Return of the forbidden fruit:
With the trek of Aquarius Venus With a Square to the nodal axis and Mars retrograde, This energy is ripe to bring back connections that were abruptly ended the last 2 years. The energy this is creating is very much “I cannot quit you, baby” ripple effect.
Connections that burned hot fast are especially under review. There’s considerable regret and remorse that’s adding this push to try and take another shot at things and smooth things over within connections that were especially unstable or ended without closure on a bad note.
The old passion is reawakening for what could have been crystalizing the distance as an obstacle that needs to be transcended or defied.
Why couldn’t we make it work?
Venus in Aquarius is also raising the question for relationships that came to a halt or fell apart suddenly of why it couldn’t work or what went wrong. The return of past flames that ask for a second chance in the next three weeks. This is especially true for fixed signs (Aquarius\Leo\Scorpio\Taurus). Old lovers, connections and flames looking to reignite the passion of the past, correct mistakes or work on building the relationship once again which comes after a persisting stubbornness on their part.
New you, same old story?
With Venus squaring the nodal axis for a good portion of its transit through Aquarius, the doubt about returning to old patterns or not offering real change is quite strong with the return of old flames. The nature of Venus in Aquarius connections is to keep them at an arm’s length. There’s also the very real danger of masked revenge attempts, possessiveness or manipulative attempts being the real motive beyond some of those reconnections. Questioning the true motivations or ability to commit without creating turmoil to avoid settling in relationships is very likely at the moment.
Testing commitment
As is the case with Mercury retrograde, it is a time to rethink what is not working in a relationship, new information about your partner coming out (which are mostly likely false), their past, likes or the side of their lives they perhaps hide. Add Aquarius Venus to the mix and this new information becomes flabbergasting. This information could range from a sexual past we never knew about, specific preferences, patterns of behavior with friends that are riddled with sexual tension or others they keep suspiciously close.
With Venus in Aquarius squaring the nodal axis, we’re expected to see the break up of long term relationships that have exhausted their term. There’s a wave of breaking old patterns of codependency.
With Mars in Gemini, it’s highlighting trust in connections whether we’re carrying wounds about trust from previous connections where betrayal happened while navigating new connections or relationships where trust has been broken before. This time is a survival contest for which relationships stand a chance to regain trust and a genuine bond and those that have reached a breaking point.
The danger with Venus in Aquarius is letting relationships we care about fully depend on the other person’s effort practically pushing them to emotional, physical and romantic burnout.
Finally Moving on
The airy energy of both Venus and Mars, the two planets responsible for coupling and keeping the flame alive, is the perfect time to make peace between your mind and heart. The lingering resentment, fear or hesitation about love from previous scars is coming to dissipate. Finding the root of attachment to the one person that got away, the grief that comes with it in all its form, denial, anger, depression, compromise and acceptance of how their actions had to do with their wounding and not a direct reaction to us or a reflection of our worth. Venus in Aquarius is a great opportunity to find closure and heal towards a more peaceful commitment and approach to love.
This is so spot on
