Mars and Venus are now in the cardinal air sign of Libra, one moving into it either side of the deeply transformative Scorpio New Moon. We are in for a period of charm, diplomacy and hopefully PEACE winning out over WAR. Relationships… and the reinvention of them… are high on the agenda….
“Venus is in Libra from November 8-December 4. We are more inclined to employ charm rather than aggressive behavior in order to get what we want during this cycle. Although Venus in Libra virtually lives for relationships, there is an air of cool detachment to this energy. We are very obliging with others–quite willing to negotiate and compromise. We can be especially idealistic about love. We prefer things be done the “right” way, and are turned off by aggressive or uncouth behavior. The shadow side of this position is dependency, inconsistency, and superficiality. In an attempt to avoid unpleasant situations, we could easily gloss over deeper issues at play in our relationships. It’s probably best to avoid the trap of acquiescing to our partners but privately resenting the fact or thinking ourselves martyrs for doing so! This is also a time when we are more artistically inclined. We tend to seek balance in our personal environment.
“Mars in Libra from November 12, 2015-January 3, 2016. We tend to use our charm as a means to an end under the influence of this cycle. Because we can see many different sides to an issue, we can be vacillating and indecisive about how to act. We don’t want to be the “bad guy”, and rarely resort to force. Instead, we attempt to win arguments with style. We are indirect in approach and inclined towards engaging in mental debates, yet we also attempt to make the opposition comfortable! Passive-aggressiveness is the shadow side of this energy.”
“With Goddess of Love Venus at full strength in her rulership position, from November 8th, to December 5th, the urge to invite more beauty in our life, wade through disagreements, and take an inventory of our values and ideals will take center stage.
“Venus sliding home to Libra suggests the common will to open a safe space for negotiation, peacebuilding and honest dialogue in relationships of all kinds; this combo has an agreeable, highly civilized nature, and usually amplifies the need for kindness and tactfulness in all human connections. However, with Mars also entering the sign four days later, and Uranus and Pluto waylaying the two divine lovers from their cardinal emplacements, the quest for peace and harmony is likely to incorporate conflict to some extent, or, at least, tension. Being Venus the faster moving planet, and preceding Mars into Libra, the two are not going to make a conjunction; if anything, though, the drive (Mars) and desire (Venus) to experience reciprocity, find a common ground, and revel in beauty and romance will still work in tandem, vigorously ramping up all of the aforementioned Libran themes. It will be up to the Libran in us, then, to orchestrate this cosmic dance between diplomacy and confrontation so that it can help us designing our life into something more beautiful.”

“A soul mate is an ongoing connection with another individual that the soul picks up again in various times and places over lifetimes. We are attracted to another person at a soul level not because that person is our unique complement, but because by being with that individual, we are somehow provided with an impetus to become whole ourselves.”
–Edgar Cayce
The pattern formed by 7 orbits of Venus and Mars
“2015 is likely to be a powerhouse year of changing allegiances, creative highs and passionate exchanges. It also seems set to be a year when many people will forge new love relationships, especially in the latter part of the year when these new cycles come into play as Venus and Mars will be in the morning skies once more.”

“We go around and around, lifetime after lifetime, caught in a web that we can’t see. Our love is expressed conditionally–I will love you “if”… We habitually repeat the story over and over again, “that you did this to me”, and “I didn’t do this for you, … etcetera. This is the karma mate pattern. Marianne Williamson says that relationship is the container for love. Right now, Neptune in Pisces working to dissolve everything that stands between love and us. Forgiveness and compassion awakens love. Love creates the safe space for each partner to heal and to grow. The ideal relationship is not about someone who completes us. The ideal relationship is the one is which each partner has the space to complete himself or herself.”

On the Scorpio New Moon:
Essence of Scorpio – Element Water, Feminine, Emotional Realm
- Deep feelings
- Potent intuition
- Death & Rebirth
- Intense & Passionate
- Powerfully Emotional
- Mirroring the Shadow
“When working with Scorpio it allows us to go deep into our shadow self and clean up our emotional bodies. When we do this we make room for unforeseen blessings and gifts to manifest in our lives. This creates change.
“Scorpio Intentions – Dive in deep into the Water Realm and wash out stuck emotions, sabotaging programs and addictions by reprogramming your emotional body and cells. Clearing out all the debris that is in your emotional realm, nourish and regenerate your soul. Dive into the treasure chest of source energy for healing and transformation.
“Give yourself the time and space to feel and release. Working with Scorpio can be intense, so be mindful of what shows up to be cleared. Let it go without judgment into source, into the cosmic field.”

“Since Mars and Venus move out of Virgo then move into Libra fairly closely, you will see a strong cycle of personal versus collective events throughout the month. So your love-life, your work life, and social life will be expanding and contracting in exciting and unpredictable ways that you should definitely keep an eye on so you don’t miss all of the doors of opportunities.
“This month we will experience our first New Moon in Scorpio that has not been linked to an eclipse in three years. The three (3) previous years were all New Moon eclipses in Scorpio and they all happen to have taken place while Saturn was in Scorpio, (2012 22 degrees, 2013 12 degrees and 2014 zero degrees). It is important to bring up the Saturn and Scorpio lessons and the impending end of 2015 so that we can change that “to-do”list into the “ta-da” list of completion and satisfaction.”
