THE TRUE "BEAUTY" OF PARTNERSHIPS AND RELATIONSHIPS !!!

Venus began its "loving" transit through the charming, sociable sign of Libra today, November 8th, at 10:31 AM EST ... Venus is very much at home here - considered to be in dignity - as this is one of the two signs it naturally rules - the other being Taurus ... Venus was last in Libra from September 29th through October 23rd, 2014 with 14 days of that transit being influenced by a Mercury retrograde in Libra ...  

Venus in Libra tends to first have a highly mental approach to love and romance with the emotional factor often coming into play later ... it enjoys art, harmony, and certainly people ... it can be charming, diplomatic, and graceful in relating to others ... affection is expressed with elegance, charm, and consideration ... fairness, balance and gentleness are qualities used when interacting with others ... sometimes there can be such an excessive desire for peace and tranquility that one avoids having to face issues which ultimately can inhibit intimacy ... there is pleasure found in balance and in beauty ... this energy appreciates symmetry ... the handling of money and possessions is most likely cooperative even though at times there could be a competitive edge ... Venus in Libra wants affection, beauty and ease in love relationships with a need for equal sharing between one and ones partner ... this Venus is also equally concerned about justice and fairness ...

Venus transiting through Libra is teaching us how to love through relating with others ... it's the aesthetic ... one can appreciate and understand art and society on their own separate levels ... there is an inner sense of harmony here which yields the ability to see life in terms of beauty and justice ... this ability comes from more of a mental approach rather than an emotional one ... here one recognizes that beauty is important with the question arising whether or not it is more than or simply skin deep ... the ultimate answer is that it is both ... 

Venus in Libra can easily be attracted to ones inner beauty in addition to or rather than their outward appearance ... there is also probably a fear of conflict and disharmony ... ugly scenes, feeling unattractive, uncouth behavior and fake love are strongly disliked ... this energy is likely to attract either popularity or wealth, or both ... social harmony, tastefulness, being in love, beautiful surroundings and true marriage are highly appreciated here ... the energy of Venus in Libra can be expressed in the following ways :

POSITIVE: eye for beauty, strong color sense, good ear, artistic, affectionate, likable, magnetic, fair-looking, refined, graceful, pleasant, socially correct, romantically steadfast, relates well, harmonious, just, empathetic, broad-minded

NEGATIVE: hung up on appearances, oversensitive, music snob, art snob, takes personal liberties, frivolous, seducing, vain, affected, phony, overly concerned with etiquette, superficial, insincere, avoids conflict, indifferent, cold, cynical, social outcast

Libra born individuals, this is your time when the love light of Venus shines on you - even though it usually does always as it is your ruling planet !!! - and, as always, ask for what you want especially during this period as you might just get it ... 

Remember ones personal ideal is something to strive towards and not stubbornly insist upon ... relationships will ultimately prosper on love and understanding of the best AND the worst ... and certainly the undeniable purest expression of Venus in Libra is developing the ability to lend grace where awkwardness exists and understanding in the midst of strife !!!

Venus is currently the only planet transiting through Libra but Mars will join this "social affair" on Thursday, 10/12 ... Mars will be in Libra for the last 14 days of this Venus transit through Libra ... as a result this transit of Venus could prove to be somewhat bumpy as fiery Mars is considered to be in detriment in Libra being placed in the sign opposite of the one it naturally rules which for Mars would be Aries ... and it is not out of the realm of possibilities to have some issue resurface from today through October 22nd as Venus will be transiting over the degrees of the most recent Mercury retrograde, September 17th - October 9th, which was completely in the sign of Libra occurring from 15 degrees Libra back down to 0 degrees Libra ... Venus remains in Libra until December 5th ... and then things could get a little kinky !!!

Make sure you proceed with caution wherever the object of your passion should lead you ere you come to witness firsthand the famous phrase "love amongst the ruins" !!!  ... with that in mind, it's still time to seek beauty and learn to truly appreciate it for what it is ... determine where your passion for the pursuit of justice truly lies ... play nice with the other children ... and ultimately now is the time to discover and understand the true "beauty" of partnerships and relationships !!!
