VENUS ENTERS SAGITTARIUS:
On Thursday October 7th at 7:21 A.M. EDT until November 5th at 6:44 A.M. EDT Venus enters this Jupiter ruled sign and romance is certainly in the air. We call Venus the planet of love, but of course love is expressed so many different ways that all of the planets, (even stogy ole Saturn) have their way of showing their feelings. Still, Venus is a very sociable and gentle energy that is often associated with intimacy and can represent the receptivity of feelings. Sagittarius, which can be rather overbearing at times and needs a great deal of independence and space, none the less can be extremely romantic, though not always in the traditional way. It has little regard for boundaries and may show its feelings in a manner that can feel standoffish or distant. But when push comes to shove I have found Sags to be very deep in their feelings and while they may require a lot of room to roam, they still have a depth of emotions that can be misunderstood. Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius is exalted in Cancer, after all. It tends to expand beyond common limitations and resents anything that feels confining. So while Venus is traveling through this sign it would be wise to give your paramour as much freedom as you can comfortably allow. Don’t be too possessive or demanding. Remember, Sag is half horse. If you tie a horse too tightly he will try his best to break free. If you allow it to roam in the fields it will always return home for dinner and a warm place to sleep. Travel is one of the best ways of sharing your love either with a Sag or when this sign is prominent. Get out and do something fun and exciting. Sometimes there is more intimacy in the outside world than in a bedroom. Venus in this sign wants adventure, so give her some. Expand your concept of what romance and love can mean and you may be pleasantly surprised in ways you hadn’t even considered.
