Listen "Planetary Valentines"
Episode Synopsis
Valentine’s Day is perfectly positioned between the Leo Full Moon and the Pisces New Moon for maximum heart opening effect. And here Venus & Vesta discussed the loving phenomenon these two astrological events bring about and why 2023 has extra love opportunities.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The Leo Full Moon in February is a full-on, heart centred being which is perfect for Valentine’s Day. There’s also a Pisces New Moon in February which is an opening for empathy, trust and giving yourself to another completely. These two events create the perfect Valentine’s Day scenario anyway – is this a Pagan festival or a Christian festival? It doesn’t matter because we’re going to have the full royal flush in our hearts.
There’s a frisson to friction that’s created by the square between vulnerable Venus in Pisces and clever, tactical and duplicitous Mars in Gemini. This can be used as a level to help crack open even the hardest of hearts to some of the things that could be around you at the moment.
Venus is making a sextile to Uranus, this is an appreciative and positive aspect that says yes, this is really happening in a sexy, spicy and fruity way. It’s like a wake up to your sexuality, what you’re feeling in your body when you’re around a certain person, or just within yourself.
On the 15th of February, Venus makes a conjunct with Neptune at 24 degrees Pisces. Venus is love, beauty, magnetism and Neptune is the dream world, a more spiritual world beyond the physical, it’s the magic that happens and the tsunami of emotional empathy that it brings to Earth. This is a real opportunity to fall head over heels and understand the sacredness within sacred unions.
BEST MOMENTS
‘As much as we may be fearful, and there are some danger signs, I still think we’ve got to take the risk and say “yes” to what you want.’‘There are always going to be red flags in any relationship and you can’t just end a relationship every time one appears, you have to deal with it, open up to it and ask questions about it so you aren’t compromising your own standards.’"We need to ride the wave of Neptunian power rather than get tossed and turned in the tsunami it can represent.’‘It’s a wonderful, magical spreading of love through the plane, so enjoy it! If you’re aware it’s happening you can be clever and observant and perhaps aim for the healing ideas and recognise your patterns and see if you can do things differently next time.’
