Speaking of Venus, she is happier in some signs
(Taurus, Libra, Pisces) than in others (Aries, Virgo, Scorpio). If possible, marry
when she is in one of the happy signs - or at least avoid the unhappy ones!
This presents particular challenges in the Autumn of 2010, when Venus moves into
Scorpio (September 8) and remains through January 6, 2011 - including a six-week
long retrograde period.
Happy Signs:
Venus
in Pisces February 11 - March 7, 2010
Venus is considered exalted
in Pisces, meaning the Venusian functions of relationship thrive in the Pisces
environment of compassion, forgiveness, idealism, and unconditional love.
Venus
in Taurus March 31 - April 25, 2010
Venus is in her rulership
in Taurus, and marriages planted in the rich, solid loam of this earth sign are
prosperous, stable, and content.
Venus in Libra August
6 - September 7, 2010
Venus is also in her rulership in Libra, and marriages
with this Venus sign are blessed with affectionate, collaborative partnerships.
Difficult
Signs:
Venus in Aries March 7 - 31, 2010
Venus
is in detriment in Aries, a sign which is generally more confident with "I"
and "me" than "we". That said, the couple with Venus in Aries
can be pioneers and inspiring risk-takers.
Venus in Virgo July
10 - August 6, 2010
Virgo is a gentle, helpful, soothing sign - but Venus
is in her fall in this sign, and its quest for purity and perfection can symbolize
relationship-withering criticism.
Venus in Scorpio September
8, 2010- January 6, 2011
Venus is in her detriment in Scorpio, an intensely passionate
and loyal sign that can nevertheless be distrustful and
jealous when things aren't going well. This particular
Venus in Scorpio has another mark against it: between
October 8 and November 18, 2010, Venus
will also be retrograde.
Venus in Aspect
When possible,
a conjunction, sextile, or trine aspect between Venus and the Sun, Mars, or Jupiter
can be a wonderful addition to the wedding chart, indicating a marriage blessed
with affection (Sun), passion (Mars), and generosity and optimism (Jupiter).
2010
Venus Aspect Highlights:
Venus/Jupiter conjunction in Pisces February
11 - 17
Venus (Aries) trine Mars (Leo - Rx) March 7 - March
8.
Venus conjunct Mars (Libra) August 6 - August 23, 2010
If
possible, it's best to avoid square and opposition aspects between Venus and other
planets, and conjunctions with Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto. This applies
to approaching aspects (those that have not yet become exact); less importance
should be given to separating aspects.
