With the annual celebration of love and romance nearly upon us, it seems both fitting and timely to glance to the heavens to see what astrological influences may be sharing their energies to lovers, both established and those desiring to be so, along with the candy, flowers, jewelry and greeting cards. This information is to provide guidance for many who seek guidance on how to make February 14 a truly special Valentine’s Day.
To being with, Venus-the Goddess of Love- resides in Aries at this time. The Ram’s energies make the “game of love” as much about the “chase” as in actually getting together. This aggressive approach, while exciting in the beginning can descend into jealousy if the ‘game” goes on too long.
Additionally, the Goddess of Love finds herself in opposition to Aries’ ruler, Mars. This aspect makes for a highly emotional setting for relationships and possible lack of respect or faithlessness between partners. Compromise and common ground are important. Remember, too, that there must be more than just the physical attraction to keep the relationship alive.
It should also be noted that Mars walks a backward path at this time and the energies of the Lord of War become internalized and frustrations can be held in until the emotional explosion occurs which, sadly, is against one’s best interests. The aspects with Venus will be colored by this retrograde and extra care should be taken not to allow things to get to the boiling point.
Does this dance between Venus and Mars spell disaster for Valentine’s Day? Not necessarily-if you can maintain an awareness that the impact of these aspects can have on you and your partner (or desired partner) is ongoing during this time, the chance of avoiding potential romantic disasters is increased. After all, ultimately, the fault is not in our stars, but in ourselves and how we deal with what the planets send our way.
With all the Martian energies that are in play, there is still two more key elements in the Love Goddess’ Valentine’s dance-her conjunction with Uranus-the Sky Lord. This aspect provides the opportunity for sudden impulsive attractions and high social energy. While this certainly bodes well for parties and that instant “connection” it is wise to remember that there is “the morning after the night before” and that time is the true arbiter of whether a relationship will last.
Venus and Saturn are also in play at this time. The challenging aspect of a quincunx (also called “in conjunct) between these two celestial bodies highlights the difficulty that can arise in understanding the role of each party in a relationship. Are you together because you genuinely love each other, or because of what one does for the other. Again, keeping this thought in mind can provide the kind of clarity that you may have felt was missing in the relationship.
Mercury-the Messenger-also has a role to play (aside from being the symbol for a certain floral delivery service) on February 14. The Messenger and the Sea King-Neptune-walk side by side in conjunction as Cupid’s day arrives. Imagination is in overdrive-which can confuse the boundaries of logic and illusion.
The heartstrings can be plucked providing a melody which could lead to disappointment unless you listen to your own still small voice and not be overwhelmed by the emotions of the moment. Conversely, though, this aspect may well provide the energy and inspiration needed to truly express your love for your partner that you may not state before.
Mercury and Mars are also inconjunct at this time. Again, keeping in mind my earlier comments about the Lord of War, you are cautioned not to reach beyond where you have not yet begun-this is true in love and in life.
Regardless of your Valentine’s Day plans, remember that the skilled astrologers and psychics on Psychic Cosmos will be here, as needed or wanted, to counsel and guide the heart on its quest for romance.
