March Mayhem

March Mayhem

Posted on by Jennifer Fox

Let’s talk about the beginning of March and the Pisces New Moon that is happening on Wednesday, March 2, at 12:36 EST.  There is a large stellium building in Pisces this New  Moon. We also have Mars exactly conjuncting Pluto on the same day being backed up by Venus and the dwarf planet Vesta.  This is decision time. 

What do you want, I mean really want deep in your soul? Mars is in the last few degrees of Capricorn conjuncting Pluto.  This conjunction happens every two-ish couple of years, but this is special because Mars is in his exaltation in Capricorn, and Venus, his lover, is along for the ride.  Like Bonnie and Clyde they are heading into Aquarius, but firs they are going to pull into the  Underworld (Pluto)  b for a brief pitstop.  This conjunction with Pluto is about deep transformation regarding your desires and your values. 

Don’t forget that Saturn, in Aquarius, will be exactly conjunct Mercury on the same day, and this is about long-term manifestation and commitment regarding what you are focusing on.  So if Mars and Venus come up from the Underworld it could be a rebirth that looks more like a great escape in a hail of bullets, so you’d better have your noggin’ in the right place.

With the energy of Jupiter conjunct the Moon and Sun in Pisces, it’s time to, “Go big, or go home,” with your dreams.  Jupiter loves to take a risk and all of these celestial objects in Pisces are harmoniously sextiling Uranus in Taurus, so could be the right time to look for a miracle (wink, wink) or at least a colossal new beginning.

Let’s face it, you are manifesting all the time, whether you are doing it consciously or unconsciously. If you can feel this energy growing in intensity then your consciousness is ready to take charge, but like any good opportunist, you will need a plan.  Focus, dammit, focus!  Write down three things you wish for and use this Bonnie and Clyde energy surge to propel you forward.  You will either walk away a fool, or a queen. 

The Sun will exactly conjunct Jupiter on Saturday, March 5 and this can help you on your journey.  This conjunction will take you deep – right down to the bottom of your soul, and it is there in the darkness where you have the chance to face your truth and then create the truth you want to consciously create. You see, if you consciously get into the drivers seat you could choose your next destination as Mars and Venus head into future (Aquarius) on Sunday, March 6, reborn.  Anything is possible, so straighten your crown and go get it GIRL!

Venus Retrograde 2021 – 2022

Venus Retrograde 2021 – 2022

Posted on by Jennifer Fox

Most often when someone wants an astrological reading from me they are focused on love and money; but there are so many other items of interest revealed in a natal chart.  I believe that this obsession is due to the universal misconception that these two factors make the world go round. But let’s face it — you can have love and money, but until you determine what you really value in life you may not appreciate or cherish either of those things.  Why is this?  Well, you’ll soon have some time to unravel that conundrum, because Venus is about to go retrograde. 

Typically Venus is in a sign for 20 days, give or take.  She is a fast mover and like Mars and Mercury, her orbit tends to have a more tangible influence over our daily life.  She is never that far from your Sun sign in your natal chart.  (To get a free birth chart you can go to FoxyAstrology.com and create your own birth chart). And if you are lucky enough to have her conjunct your Sun or your Ascendent, then whatever “It” is… you will likely have “It”.  I have noticed that people with their Sun or Ascendent conjunct their natal Venus are just more attractive to others.  They may or may not be beautiful to look at, but more often I find that they possess a beautiful soul that simply glows! 

Regardless of where Venus is in your natal chart, she will come into a conjunction with transiting Venus once a year (a.k.a. your Venus Return).  That is a time where everyone gets their moment to shine!  You will simply be “more” as you get your soul-glow on!  This is a perfect time to go on a retreat, get a new hairstyle, buy something that you really desire (like beautiful piece of jewelry), or just spend time with that special someone and make memories together.

When Venus goes retrograde she is going to spend a record four months in the “ambitchous” sign of Capricorn.  She will not move into Aquarius until the beginning of March 2022.  Capricorn is all about the “climb”, and that includes your career and social profile in the world.  This 10th house ruler will have you making some deep observations about the long-term, especially when it comes to your career, your relationship, your finances, and your larger materials possessions like your home and car.

Venus shines a light on the things that we love and value.  If we don’t see the value in something, then why would we love it?  Value is about worth, importance, and yes…usefulness.  So while this beauty is retrograding in Capricorn, it is the perfect time to do some re-evaluating of those things that you have attributed value to in the past. Perhaps they need a once-over?  Are they reliable? Do they bring you contentment? Can they help you with your future goals?  These are all good questions to consider.  Perhaps the most important question is, “Do they add beauty to your life?” … remembering that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 

Venus in Capricorn Dates:

  • 11/5/21 – Venus entered Capricorn
  • 12/19/21 – Venus Stations Retrograde at 26 degrees
  • 1/29/22 – Venus Stations Direct at 11 degrees
  • 3/6/22 Venus enters Aquarius
Venus on Fire

Venus on Fire

Do you know what your Venus sign is?  This is the sign that Venus was in at the time of your birth.  You can go to Foxy Astrology and create your birth chart to find this placement.  Every eight years we experience a Venus Return, which is when transiting Venus returns to the same place in the sky where it was when you were born.

Because of the shape of Venus’s orbit, it is probably pretty close to your Sun sign — usually never more than one or two signs away. If you have Venus conjunct or within the same sign as your Sun, then you are almost guaranteed to possess a beautiful soul; one that gives you that “special something” that folks just can’t put their finger on.  Whatever “it” is… you most likely have “it!”

The relationship between your Venus and your Sun can tell a lot about who and what attracts you.  Venus is the ruler of the things we love and value.  If Venus comes before your Sun in your natal chart then she is expressed as the ‘Morning Star’ and you are more direct in your relationships.  You might prefer getting straight to business and save the foreplay for another day. If Venus comes after your Sun, then she takes on the guise of the ‘Evening Star’ and as such, prefers to wait for the object of her desire to make the first moves. This is the signature of a person that likes to be romanced and enjoys the build-up before the pay-off.  

Full Moon in Libra

March 28 is the Full Moon at 8 degrees and 18 minutes of Libra, but opposing this celestial body is a hella stellium (three or more celestial objects in a sign or house) in Aries. This cadre of celestial combustion consists of: Kassandra, the Sun, Chiron, and Venus.  Let’s break this down:

  • Kassandra is the quintessential victim of the narcissist but possesses the gift of premonition;
  • The Sun represents our true self — our ego;
  • Chiron represents our wound; and
  • Venus represents the things that we love and value.

Theses influences will all be conjunct in Aries — the first sign and of the zodiac — representing the self. The Full moon will be working on finding equilibrium in Libra.  Libra is the seventh sign of the zodiac and represents your relationship to others. Full Moons are a time of release and this could be a fantastic opportunity for profound healing; especially around issues from early life that might still be holding you back.  

The work you do at this time is crucial to moving forward.  Only a few weeks away is the New Moon in Aries and this will be time to test out this Full Moon recalibration.

New Moon in Aries

This is really the beginning of the end of old patterns and is important as we move into April. We find yet another stellium at the end of Aries, during the Aries New Moon (4/11) with the Sun conjunct the Moon at 22 degrees and 24 minutes of Aries.  Ceres will be at the front of this divine feminine renewal, reminding us of what we need to nourish ourselves. Venus will continue traveling with the Sun, but will be joining Eris — the goddess of discord — who reminds us to do just a tiny bit of harm, and take no sh*t.

Look as see what sign and house your natal Venus is in and use the energy of these two Moons to reevaluate how that is changing. Venus will help you determine what you need to nourish yourself now. This New Moon presents us with a lot of divine feminine energy, but instead of a traditional soft and ladylike ambience, I think this is an opportunity to turn your engines up to 11 and let them burn brightly in a new way.

Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Posted on by Jennifer Fox

I have done more astrological readings then I can count, and they all boil down to people wanting to know about two things: love and money.  Venus happens to rule both of these two things; she is also the ruler of the 2nd house (Taurus — the things that we love and value) and the 7th house (Libra —  the house of marriage and contractual relationships). 

Love supposedly makes the world go round, but let’s face it – love can also make people a little crazy.  People who don’t have it, want it…and people that have it often find that it doesn’t always bring the happiness and fulfillment that they imagined.  The really crazy thing is that there is so much more to a person than just love and money.  Don’t get me wrong — they are important pieces of the pie, but most people focus on these aspects alone and lose sight of the big picture.  A good astrological reading can provide so much insight, and yet we still want/need these “things” above all others — particularly the love bit.

Where Venus is located in your chart is very important; you can get a free birth chart at Foxy Astrology so you can locate her. Just knowing where Venus lives in your chart can tell you a lot about what your wants and needs are. Often these will be expanded by Jupiter aspects, could be made long-term by Saturn aspects, or if the Sun is involved you could really be feeling yourself (and someone else too).  Anytime you have Venus in a harmonious aspect with these guys it normally means things are happening in the fun, romance, or maybe even the serious commitment department. 

Harmonious aspects are conjunctions (0 – 3˚), sextiles (60˚) or trines (120˚), but if you are looking for love then there a few areas of your chart that can clue you in on if you are putting your aspects to good use.  I mean, why waste your time on Mr./Mrs. Right when you might only be in the market for Mr./Mrs. Right Now?

I Just Wanna Have Some Fun!

The 5th house, where Leo resides (although your 5th house is most likely in another sign), rules love, romance, play, and is all about the fun.  If you have Venus, Jupiter or the Sun moving through this house or aspecting one of your planets in this house — bada bing, get ready for a fling. That doesn’t mean it won’t be more — but knowing the energy will help you just relax and enjoy without putting all your cards on the table.

Put A Ring On It

The 7th house is where Libra resides in the main chart and is ruled by Venus. This house is often call “the House of Marriage” and it represents contractual, long-term relationships. If Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, the Sun or any combo of these celestial bodies are moving into the 7th house in your chart, you might be hearing wedding bells… or at least signing a lease with someone.  The year that I got married — more than 20 years ago — Saturn was moving into my 7th house. I’m still married today… so, thanks Saturn! 

Checked the Progressed

If you haven’t had your progressed chart done and you are looking for long-term love, it can be really helpful.  The Moon represents our emotions and internal life. The progressed moon moving through your 7th house can be great indication that a significant union could be in your future.  If you are over 35, then getting a progressed reading can be very expansive for all areas of your life since you have evolved a bit since birth.  If you are considering a long-term union getting a synastry reading (comparing two charts) is a very helpful.  Learning about the strengths and weaknesses of your relationship with your Mr./Mrs. Right can help you take your relationship to a deeper level of understanding for both of you.

Crazy in Love

In the immortal words of Freddy Mercury, “I kinda like it, crazy little thing called love!” And why?  Because love has spiritual and chemical dimension and nothing else can compare to that blissful release of dopamine and oxytocin — that intoxicating feeling of being completely alive.

Venus in Aquarius – February 1-25

Venus in Aquarius – February 1-25

Posted on by Jennifer Fox

Are you ready to fall in love?  Venus will be entering into Aquarius on February 1st and staying afloat there until the 25th.  In Aquarius, Venus can let her hair down and sometimes will let her freak flag fly… which will most likely be the case since she will be squaring Uranus in Taurus for almost a week (Feb. 3 – 10). Do you know what house Aquarius rules in your chart?  You can go to Foxy Astrology and get a free birth chart; look and see what house Aquarius is in and see how this free-lovin’ energy is going to impact you. Venus isn’t just about the way we love; she is also about the things that we value. 

Co-ruled by Uranus and Saturn, Aquarius is a contradiction that makes sense in collaboration. In Aquarius we value not only the scientific hypothesis (Uranus), but also the proving of the theory (Saturn). Aquarius is Fixed Air, which also seems like a contradiction in terms.  How do you stop the unstoppable? The unpredictable?  Well, maybe it’s time for a bit of a shake-up in the love department and explore the possibilities as Venus gets her groove on.

There will be four other planets moving through Aquarius, and Venus will take a turn on the metaphorical dance floor with each one: Sun, Saturn, Jupiter, and Mercury Rx. This could lead to controlled chaos within your closest relationships, but also some much needed growth through exploration. 

When Venus squares Uranus in Taurus, sudden changes to money and love could crop up.  It’s imperative to be flexible and observant.  How do you feel: fear, exhilaration, anger, elation? How can you best use this energy to breakthrough any stagnation and move forward?

We have been locked down for almost an entire year, so it is crucial that you get an opportunity to break free of this “Groundhog Day,” existence that we find ourselves living.  We have had many opportunities to review our closest relationships during this unprecedented time; what have you learned?  What do you love and value now that you have been “tested”?

Venus likes to do things differently while she is moving though Aquarius. You can use this energy to get back in touch with your best mates on a zoom call, join an online community that explores one of your secret desires, or start planning an “in-person” event for later this year.  Venus in Aquarius is in love with life and limitless possibilities.  We could all use a shot of that right about now!
