♀ ♎

You have a gift for seeing beauty in the people around you, and while you probably prefer to keep it that way, love isn’t always pretty! More likely than not, you’ve held the image of an ideal partnership in your mind since childhood. However, that image could probably use an update. Instead of worrying about what others think of your relationship or what you think your relationship should look like, use that energy to get clear on what you want. You’re so empathically attuned to others that sometimes you don’t even know what you need. When that happens, you’re quick to project your needs onto someone else. So, you need a partner who’s capable of listening, learning, and connecting with you as an equal. Since peace and harmony are your guiding lights, you may be hesitant to rock the boat with ugly emotions. Expressing anger in particular can be a big challenge, since you might believe you won’t be loved if you’re anything but pleasant all the time. Well, you know that’s not realistic. If you can release your emotions a little bit at a time like a valve, you will slowly overcome your passive-aggressive tendencies. This can help you construct a healthy partnership that fulfills your genuine need to share your life with someone else.

♀ Ⅻ

Love is not just a casual coincidence, but rather a divine destiny. With Venus in your 12th House, you’re plugged into the interconnectedness of all things. This inner knowing makes your imagination so strong that you can fill a blank canvas with ease and grace. Becoming a celebrated artist is not outside the realm of possibility for you, since your endless compassion will inevitably shine through your creative expression. Be careful not to get too comfortable in the realm of fantasy, though -- being a hopeless romantic can get you a little lost. If others notice your big heart, they might be tempted to take advantage. You’re so sensitive to the pain and suffering of others that you likely want to tend to them as if they’re your own. This is where you need to learn how to color inside the lines. Despite your desire to merge with the people you love, owning your boundaries is a necessary step in forming healthy relationships. There’s a big difference between being generous and being self-sacrificial. If a part of you wants to hide or escape into someone else’s storyline, then ask yourself -- what kind of internal pain are you avoiding?

♀ ☌ 􏿴

Hey, good lookin’! With Venus conjunct your Ascendant, others are attracted to your natural beauty and charming personality like moths to a flame. In fact, you have a deep appreciation for anything aesthetically pleasing. Whether that means using your refined grace and social skills to host an elegant soiree or channeling your desire for harmony into an interior design project inspired by feng shui, you of all people know that life is gorgeous. You see the world through the lens of your relationships, and in turn, the people you love may be your world. Having balance and equality in those connections is of utmost importance to you.

♀ ☌ ♇

Others can sense your mysterious attractiveness from a mile away. You’re like a magnet with opposite poles -- sometimes you want to dive head-first into a relationship and merge souls, and other times you want to run for the hills to save your sovereignty. Ultimately, you’re after intimacy -- intimacy with others and intimacy with yourself. Finding a balance between the two will be a lifelong journey. The people who come into your life are here to help you transform into a truer version of yourself. You must learn to trust when it’s time to hold on and when it's time to let go.

♀ □ 􏿷

Are those your dreams you’re following, or someone else’s? With Venus square your Midheaven, there’s some tension between your personal values and your family’s values. You’ll be deeply dissatisfied if you continue to pursue a path that doesn’t have your name on it. But deep down, you might have no idea what you want to be when you grow up, even if you’re already past that point. It’s never too late to pivot. In order to figure out where to go next, start by facing the insecurities that get in your way, so the path ahead is clear.

♀ ⚹ ♆

One thing is for sure, you wouldn’t hurt a fly. You can see yourself in just about anyone, so what’s the point of fighting? Your keen eye for beauty and deeply empathic nature make you an asset to any social gathering. Someone may meet you for the first time and then five minutes later realize they’ve told you their entire life story. Get used to it -- you have that effect on people. Still, it wouldn’t hurt to learn some boundaries! Your generous nature can be taken advantage of if you are not in touch with where you end and the rest of the world begins.

􏿶 ♈

Are you looking for a teammate, or an opponent? Relationships are where you go to find yourself, so you’re attracted to someone who challenges you and reminds you of who you are. This can lead to trouble, though! Relationships are bound to go through ups and downs, but you can’t always be picking fights with one another. Deep down, your biggest fear might be losing yourself in your relationship. Don’t take this out on them. Instead of raising your fists, find ways to embrace your independence. Authenticity is non-negotiable. You can be in partnership and still maintain your autonomy.

♀ 𝐃

It’s smooth sailing for your love life -- okay fine, maybe that’s not true. Things can get rocky now and then, and you’re not exactly immune to getting seasick, but you’re probably not going to get lost at sea or anything! With Venus moving direct, you’ve got a relatively clear view of what you want in relationships. And while there might be some other aspects in your birth chart that muddy the waters, your ship is moving forward, even if you have no idea where you’re headed. Who needs a map or a compass when you’ve got a heart to follow?

☿ ♎

Listen up! Your communication style is less about talking and more about listening. Your ear is always open and shows your loved ones that you care. But don’t be fooled, you can charm your way into or out of almost anything. The way you talk the talk is something like a song -- harmonious, balanced, and able to appeal to all sides. You tend to show your affection for others through kind words and flattering remarks. And although you’re rarely fishing for compliments, you’ve always got bait on the line. You’d never admit it, but you just want to be told you’re beautiful. Who doesn’t? Your feelings, however, are not always pretty. Instead of hiding them out of fear of rejection, get comfortable with speaking your truth, even if it doesn’t sound cute.

☽ ♏

You like it hot! Or at least a little intense. If someone can't stand the heat, then in your mind, they need to get out of the kitchen. Deep intimacy is what you're going for, a magnetic connection that can only be forged by traversing the lands of vulnerability. In order to feel safe, you must first be allowed to inspect the deepest recesses of someone’s soul. Bearing your traumas and insecurities is your love language. This intimacy stuff is dangerous business! A strong trust must first be established, but once it is, the container you create can hold it all. Nothing makes you feel more loved than hearing someone's darkest secrets.

☿ ⚹ ♂

If flirting was a sport, you’d probably be team captain! You’re quick on your feet, making you an asset in any emergency situation or bedroom activity. You could find that you’re quite reactionary, which could come off as combative. Listening and leaning into cooperation a bit more could go a long way. When you take you partner into consideration, you both win. Figure out how to use your strong intellect and passionate opinions to your advantage by standing up for who and what you believe in. You are fearless and brave, and when you lean into these qualities, everyone wants to be on your team.

☿ ⚹ ♅

If there’s a code to crack, you’re on it. Your knack for reading between the lines is uncanny, and perhaps a bit telepathic. New concepts, ideas, and technological advancements all keep your gears turning, and staying in the know is key to your success. Your propensity toward amazement can be almost child-like in nature. When relating to others, it’s important that you surround yourself with fellow intellectuals who challenge and inspire you, otherwise you’ll be screening their boring phone calls. When you find yourself stagnant or unexcited, take that as an opportunity to move onto something -- or someone -- new.

☿ ☌ ♄

Turn that frown upside down! With Mercury conjunct Saturn, you may tend to be a bit of a Negative Nancy. Taking things (and yourself) too seriously will only make your relationships harder than they need to be. At the same time, your drive can help you achieve mastery over your passions and ideas. Your calculating behavior and fierce reliance on facts can sometimes come at the expense of intuition and spontaneity, though. Be sure to balance work and pleasure, since not everything in life is meant to feel like a job. When you’ve got this in check, you’ll find that you are naturally organized, structured, and confident under pressure.

Ⅲ ♐

There’s nothing boring about your communication style. Your bag of tricks is filled with jokes, stories, and big ideas. You’re excited to learn about your partner’s beliefs and have discussions about the meaning of life. Your love language is having fun with those you adore -- after all, that’s why we’re all here! Think spontaneous weekend adventures, game nights, or just cracking one-liners and making your people laugh. You show how wildly your love runs for them by bringing positivity and enthusiasm into the conversation. Others want to be around that contagious spirit (as they should!).

☿ 𝐃

While there are many other aspects in your chart that can inhibit your ability to express yourself, luckily for you, the planet of communication is moving full speed ahead. Unlike those with Mercury Retrograde, who are prone to trip over their words or might be unable to talk the talk, your thoughts roll off your tongue with greater ease. This doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a confident speaker or that your ideas make any sense for that matter (you’ll have to see what else Mercury is up to in your chart to find that out). But with Mercury moving forward, you’ve got words and you know how to use them.

♂ ♌

Talk about hot to the touch! It’s not hard to get you in the mood. In fact, you’re probably the one waiting for your partner to get riled up. You love love, so much so that it can catch someone off guard like a deer in headlights. Your passion and magnetism are sure to stop them in their tracks. It’s easy for you to tap into a sense of confidence in all that you do, and that’s attractive. The thing is, your bright light often shows others how they’re holding themselves back just by comparison. Some may interpret you as being “too much”, but those people are probably just envious. You could feel pretty natural in front of a camera or a crowd of people, but your favorite place to perform might be the bedroom! You don’t mind a little praise, so it’s nice when someone tells you you’re good at what you do. There’s nothing wrong with feeling attractive or desired, unless the compliments are one-sided, of course. Your fiery passion will easily translate into steamy and long-winded evenings with your partner. It’s important for you to have someone that you know other people desire. You love a challenge, and also love to win that challenge since it keeps things fun. You take pride in the hearts you’ve captured. Try not to play games with them, though. Keep your childlike playfulness for the bedroom, since you’re so good at that.

♂ Ⅹ

Are you inspired by people who are remembered long after they’ve passed? Do you hope to also leave behind a legacy with your name on it? That tracks! Your desire for recognition comes from a desire to leave your mark on the world. Others might consider you competitive, self-important, or even controlling at times, but your intentions come from a good place. With regard to your career, you’re motivated to do things your way, so an entrepreneurial or leadership role is ideal. Be sure to find healthy ways to unplug from work and not take it into your sacred space. The bedroom is no place for a business call! Work-life balance is key for someone so goal-oriented. You might be attracted to others who are also after a life of success and achievement. (Did you really just ask to check out someone’s resume before agreeing to go on a date with them?) It's no surprise if you tend to be the dominant one in the bedroom. You want to call the shots! Role play can be a fun way to explore these desires for power. If left unchecked, though, your drive to be in charge can push others away. It’s important for you to express yourself more vulnerably to the people around you in order to be fully understood. You don’t have to guard your soft interior quite so forcefully.

♂ ☌ ☊

If the past and the future could both speak, they would probably tell you to stay present. You might find that you have one foot on the gas pedal and the other on the brake. You may go through bouts of feeling deeply nostalgic for what was while yearning eagerly for what the future holds. In order to follow your life’s destiny, you need to figure out how to channel your life force despite this ambivalence. Assert yourself without worrying about stepping on toes. Express yourself boldly without needing permission. Process your anger without starting a pointless fight. This is especially important in partnerships and sexual experiences. Be brave and go your own way!

♂ △ ♅

Chaos is not for everyone. You, on the other hand, thrive in it. You’d probably take a fast-paced erratic environment over a predictable routine any day. Spontaneity feels exhilarating and motivating to you, and as a result, you probably produce your best work when under the gun. Your creative juices don’t just need room to fill up your cup, they need freedom to spill over. You know how to ride the waves of adrenaline without drowning, but not everyone else does. Be mindful that you don’t make a mess for others just because you’re bored. There's no need to break a dam just for the excitement of a tsunami.

Ⅴ ♒

Do you ever feel like a weirdo when it comes to dating? Well, that’s because you are! With your eccentric approach to romance, you’re attracted to people who swim against the current. Others may see you as pretentious or hard to impress, but that’s only because for you, passion is intellectual. You love connecting over ideas, so a fiery debate will really get your gears going. You may find that you’re more open-minded when it comes to romance than most people. It’s important for you to have an exploratory and unconventional approach to sex in order to feel truly fulfilled. So don’t settle for vanilla when what you really want is chocolate with sprinkles on top!

Ⅷ ♉

Bodies are not meant to only experience pain and suffering, but that’s not news to you. Sensual to the core, you understand that every one of your five senses is a doorway to ecstasy. Unfortunately, shame may have infected your ability to truly relish carnal gratification. Release outdated notions that leave you feeling bad for wanting to feel good. Your main way of connecting intimately with others is through the body. Denial of your sensual urges could lead you to secretively act them out. Embrace the erotic so you can feel just as satisfied after a sexual encounter as during. It is not your desires themselves, but rather the societal conditioning around them that could use an update.

☽ △ ♀

Pleasure flows easily now. Enjoy the relationships in your life and take them at face value. The simple things in life bring the most joy. You could discover a gift for giving and a gift for the arts within yourself during this time. Just because something is easy doesn't mean it isn't valuable.

You may feel that a harsh light is showing all your imperfections, but don’t hide from attention! Embrace it with a new look or style.
