On Saturday November 21st at 8:22 A.M. EST until December 15th 11:21 A.M. EST we will all begin a period when we must look at our closest relationships with a deeper sense of what we truly need from them. This can be a very passionate placement, and often those born with Venus in this fixed water sign can express a very intense emotional side. Feelings will run deep, and you may experience something more intense than you have in a long time. While it is transiting here we all will feel a bit of that. Where this planet is traveling in your own chart, and what aspects it will set off will decide how you respond to it. Scorpio energy can often only see things in black or white. “Is You is or is You Ain’t My Baby”. That’s the title of an old blues song that I’m sure was written by someone with a lot of Scorpio in their chart. LOL Just don’t overreact to small slights. It’s easy to become a bit obsessive and not be able to let go of things. If something is really important then take it into consideration as you examine how the relationship is going. But if it’s a minor issue, try to ignore it. Look at your close connections with a clear eye and be willing to make the changes required to strengthen the tie. If it becomes apparent that you simply can’t continue on the path you are on, and change doesn’t seem to be possible, it may be time to let it go. But only after you have realistically examined your options. It’s always hard to lose a friend or loved one, but there are some who become so toxic that remaining in the situation will only drag you down. You shouldn’t make that decisions lightly, and I believe in trying to fix what is fixable. But as the old saying goes – doing some over and over and expecting different results is a definition of insanity. (BTW, that quote is NOT from Albert Einstein, as many have claimed.) So embrace the passion this placement can create, and take the hand of your friend and dive deeply into the emotional waters. Just be make sure you have taken in enough air to surface once again.
With emotions riding so high in our political and collective consciousness this will most likely add more fuel to the situation. Try not to get into it with people whose opinions differ. With the holidays approaching and communications increasing (whether you choose to have your celebrations in person or at a Zoom distance) it will be easy for the conversation to turn nasty. Remember why you’re there. It isn’t to solve the world’s problems; it’s just to share the joy of the season with those you love. Leave the political banter for another day. Now just be careful, be loving and say a prayer for those helpless turkeys who have given their lives so you might overeat. LOL Peace and joy to the world. 🥧🍇🐔
