TALES FROM THE MERCURIAL MUSE

AN ASTROLOGICAL BLOG

Venus governs love, relationships, beauty, pleasure, and values. As we get closer to March 22, 2025 (West of the UTC), it is a time of reflection and renual as the VSP in sideral Pisces is moving a few more degrees. Itʻs a time to dream your next dream this year, and move powerfully forward in defining that dream.


Entrpreneurs should be journaling, creating vision boards, and researching all the things that make them feel joyful and abundant. Everyone should be soul searching deeper into their biggest goals, desires, values and even fantasies. Writing without editorialistic editing is key to fulfill the powerful Venus potential.


Letʻs look at Venus in Pisces, and how we can take the unencumbered flow of Pisces and edge in some tangibility, especially with one of its home signs, Taurus being in the complete star flower. And hopefully we can find some Saturian commitment to create more stability in defining these romantic dreams to paper and ultimately, reality.
