EYE ON THE SKY: FOCUS ON VENUS/SATURN/RAHU/SUN CONNECTIONS
It’s Friday ruled by Venus and she is moving into more complex territory over the next week which means relationship energies are going to be up and complicated.  Venus is still in the constellation of Magha (Leo 0-13.20)  until Oct 17th when it tends to have too many desires and lack of fulfillment or too much expression here can lead to emotional and physical depletion of energies.Â
The Venun/ Sun connection with Venus in Leo until Nov. 3rd  could normally create strong passionate expression and artistic energies for artists but the afflictions can lead to major relationship outbursts. If the sexual/creative energy is not allowed to express itself it can lead to major conflicts. The best outlet for frustrated energy would be to do some wild dancing, take a craft class, sing loudly with the radio turned up go on a wild shopping spree, or create a massive artistic dinner with friends that you are not likely to get into fights with.
VENUS/RAHU TRINE
Venus is separating from a trine from Rahu in Aries which was exactly earlier in the week of Oct. 2-3rd and it will still be felt through the next week or so.  Venus, the planet of luxury, beauty, and sensual pleasure, is friends with Rahu, the planet of desire.  Be aware of this aspect because the tendency may be to over-eat too many sweets or not be satisfied by your partner–no matter how often they are there. It can also create overspending if you feel a lack from not getting enough sensual attention. A good balance and solution is to schedule a massage if Venus is not feeling complete rather than indulging in excessive shopping or eating too much chocolate. Better, yet, find other ways to love yourself rather than looking for it outside of yourself.
Venus/Rahu can also bring up fears (Rahu creates phobias) about losing your relationship. It may also lead to attracting radical or foreign partners who are bucking societal norms. Over the next week, practice moderation with eating, shopping, and sensual activity. Very easy for Venus to get blown out and create an imbalance. With Jupiter retrograde through Dec. 31st, the liver and pancreas are under-functioning and will not be able to deal with the overload of sugar or food. Â The Plough pose helps regulate Venus and the twist will help the liver and Pancreas function better. The dancer’s pose (below) also balances out Venus. Best yet, get out and get a tango lesson to take care of those passions in an unbridled way.
VENUS/SATURN OPPOSITION:Â Peaks Oct. 10th.
Venus is opposing Saturn on Oct 10th  and has a tight 3-degree orb Oct 7th-13th. While the two are technically friends, Saturn can throw cold water, and Venus’s fun nature and create passionate energy and dampen its warmth and tenderness.
If you are ruled by Venus such as Taurus or Libra rising, you will feel a conflict between wanting to have fun and being responsible at work or in other duties.  You may resent not being able to go out and have fun but this is a short transit so just give it a few days. It can bring up loneliness and self-pity so make sure you do some art or go out to eat with friends to avoid the energy even if you may not feel like it. Singing is always helpful to break the emotional blocks. If you are ruled by Saturn such as Capricorn or Aquarius rising, it will uplift our colder and somber nature.
During the next week, you may have difficulty with relationships if someone is truthful with you and you may not want to deal with who you are. Rather than lash out and defend, acknowledge your imperfections and work on improving your condition. If you were born with Venus opposing Saturn in your natal chart with a tight 5-degree orb, you may be prone to challenging your competitors who are challenging your self-worth and you need to remember to pick yourself and applaud your talents.
You may have a history of emotional frustrations and delays in your relationship and marriage and you may be too critical or picky in your relationship sometimes that which grows over time will be long-lasting as Venus and Saturn are friends and Saturn matures after 36 and can be more responsible in a relationship.   It’s OK if you postpone a relationship and wait for the right and mature one.
The key to a relationship is to say yes, take responsibility when you are wrong, stay out of fighting, and see the mirror that is being held up when your partner pushes your buttons.
