VENUS ENTERS PISCES:

On Thursday January 26^th at 9:33 P.M. EST through February 20^th at 2:56 A.M. EST Venus will travel through this sensitive sign. This will be  a month of compassion, spirituality and sharing in the all relationships. This is a combination of the lower and higher octaves of the love energy. Venus rules personal love, a relationship with another person, a dog or cat, friends, as well as the love of food, art, or entertainment. Pisces (or Neptune) rules the love of humanity, spiritual love, deep compassion and selfless generosity. The combination might make some of us blur the line between our more selfish needs and the desire to save the world. I always think of that great Peanuts comic strip when Linus is talking to Charlie Brown and he says: “I love mankind, it’s people I can’t stand.” That in some ways exemplifies the personal and the interpersonal. This is a chance for us all to view that line and perhaps gain some understanding into our own need to express love on different levels, and what it means to give feely of your time, possessions and feelings. In relationships some will be asked to serve for service sake, not for personal gain. Keep your feelings clear. It’s not necessary to give all to someone else because you are feeling guilt or the desire to go for sainthood. Chances are pretty good that you won’t get the job anyway. Be as empathetic as you feel comfortable doing, and if you have a few bucks you can spare, there are plenty of homeless on the streets of most cities who could use a small donation. And sometimes there is a friend or someone else in your life that could use a hand. Do what you can, and save a little of that compassion for yourself. We all need it, and sometimes the only one who really understands is the person in the mirror.
