VENUS ENTERS CAPRICORN:
On Friday November 5th at 6:44 A.M. EDT until March 6th at 2:49 A.M. Venus will retrograde on December 19th 2021 at 5:36 A.M. EST in the sign of Capricorn where it will spend an extensive period of four months. That’s a long time for this ruler of money and love to be in one sign. And with that sign being Saturn-ruled Capricorn we can expect a certain amount of limitation and suppression in those areas. Does that mean that we are entering a bear market in love and in the stocks? Not necessarily. This may be a period when we shore up some necessary sense of foundation and move our projects from the expansive, somewhat illusionary Sagittarius stage into the more realistic and structured saturnine phase. Because this will last 4 months and take us through much of the winter there will be a certain perfunctory feeling about how we act and what decisions are made. It is more important to have a settled and strong structure than an ornate one. If the infrastructure and “build back better” bills are passed they will favor what is necessary to get the thing moving and accept the restrictions being force upon the more progressive members of Congress. They will not include all that is on the Democrats wish list, but a score at this point will be a win of great magnitude, necessary to continue the Biden presidency, nothing less.
In love we will all be more realistic as well. What a thing to say! Isn’t love all about fantasy, illusion and the dream of a couple riding off into the sunset without a care in the world? Only in storybooks. Life is more demanding and less an illusion than we might wish. As Mel Brooks once said, in the 2,000 year old man routines: “You know what you needed a woman for, in my time? To see if there was an animal behind you. You walked back to back, unless you were in a high ground. Then you could turn around and face each other.”
