"It’s a special day folks. Venus, the Sun and the North Lunar Node are in a tight (to the degree) conjunction at 21 degrees Capricorn. Whoa, Whoa. Let’s back up a bit and take a look. Be patient now, if we want to put it all together we gotta cover some background."

"I know a lot of you are saying to yourselves: "What Happened? I used to be lucky and able to cover my losses then make a profit."   I thought I'd send you all great wishes to invest yourselves out of this mess along with some suggestions.

"In our modern "civilized" society, woman's role as a loving person is divided. The sensuous, erotic function (woman as lover) has been disassociated from the maternal role (woman as mother). One example of the suppression of the sensuous aspect of the mother-child bond is the use of plastic pacifiers.

"The glyph for Venus consists of the circle of Spirit, having precedence over the cross of matter. In medicine and in all the biological sciences it is still the symbol for the feminine. This simple image is rich in significance. Venus is the Ruler of both Taurus and Libra, revealing the two aspects of the planetary influence. In this article, I will be focussing on the Taurean Venus. "

"Is this love? This season the universe is in for a treat. The planet Mars entered the sign of Taurus July 29th and doesn’t leave until February 17th 2006. On top of that, Mars goes retrograde on October 3, 2005 until December 12th 2005. What’s this about? Its about Mars. And Taurus. And you.

"The glyphs for the planets are composed principally of three symbolic constituents representing the three cosmic principles of creation that were in conceptual currency when these glyphs were devised.

The circle represents Spirit, the masculine polarity of creation, whose function is will, or the concept of creation. It is pure, infinite, in no need of adding to, yet the source of all else.

There is disagreement between sources as to whether the cross or the crescent represents Soul, and whether the crescent or the cross represents Matter."

"At a glance I am drawn to the Uranian nature of this chart. There is Uranus in the 4th, Aquarius ruling the 12th and Uranus squares the Sun, Mercury and Mars. Two of these planets are in the 7th house. This person's mind works differently than other people's and they have a unique way of communicating with others based on family patterning.

"Being an astrologer, it is is easier for me to start with Venus and Mars, but some people may want to use words like passive and aggressive or yielding and assertive. However, Venus and Mars have wider symbolism than any two words from our normal vocabulary.

"Venus.  In love, Venus means so very much.  She is a key player in a relationship, reaching out in companionship and looking for comfort and appreciation.  Venus is quite indulgent and can be manipulative in certain situations.  She is one of the benefic planets and in the natal chart, her aspects show how her energies are used in a personality.  In a relationship, Venus aspects show how love flows between the partners.

"If I attempt now to sum up the contents of the preceding chapters I shall state first of all that behind every desire to act and to express one's self in an outward manner (Mars) there is some kind of value, incentive, directing image or feeling — psychological factors which all refer to the Venus function.
