Intuitive Astrology: 222 and Venus Conjunct Pluto ~ February 21, 2019


by Tanaaz

On February 22nd, Venus and Pluto come together at 22 degrees of Capricorn, setting off sparks across the cosmos that will be felt till the end of the month.

Venus is the planet of love and relationships. She is the goddess planet, ruled by the Divine Feminine. She is powerful but also soft and nurturing when she needs to be.

Pluto is the planet of death and rebirth. He is responsible for the dark night of the soul, the cycles of death and rebirth and the transformation that take place because of it.

Pluto is always challenging us to work through the darker, deeper stuff. It is always pushing us to get comfortable in the shadows and to make peace with what we find there so we can elevate ourselves to higher levels of consciousness.

Venus and Pluto align typically once every year, and when they do, their energy shakes up our relationships, the power dynamics in our lives, and how we view love.

Unhealthy relationship dynamics or obsessions can be highlighted, and we may find ourselves challenging our viewpoint and beliefs on what love and being in love really means to us.

Venus and Pluto aligning can also bring opportunities to transform and ascend to higher levels of consciousness through the power of love. We can be reminded that we are truly all one and the same, and that separation is indeed an illusion.

While Pluto does tend to get a bad wrap in astrology due to its intense energy, on a higher level, he is also the planet associated with unconditional love, the universal love that flows through everything and everyone.

It is only through experiencing the death and rebirth cycles of Pluto that we can truly ascend to understand our purpose, our soul, and our journey here on this earthly plane.

It is only when we have experienced the dark night of the soul, often brought about by Pluto’s magic, that we can begin to elevate and ascend to higher levels of consciousness.

On the surface, Pluto and Venus aligning has a dark, sexy energy to it but on the deepest levels, it is there to remind us of the power of love, and what love has the capability of building

What makes this year’s alignment of Venus and Pluto extra special is that it falls on the 2nd month of the year on the 22nd at 22 degrees of Capricorn.

This 22 energy is hard to ignore and perhaps paints a deeper picture as to what the cosmos is trying to get us to understand.

In numerology, the number 22 is about creating in the material world. It is about taking what is in our minds and in our hearts, and putting it out into the world for others to see and experience.

22 is known as a master builder number, as when we tap into this vibration we have the heightened ability to lay the bricks for our dreams and desires in the 3-D world.

To have Venus and Pluto align on a 222 day, at 22 degrees sends a message for us to decode.

Perhaps this is the Universe reminding us of the powerful love we have inside, the love that brought us here, the love that strengthens us, and the love that carries us through the dark.

A lot of us turn to others for love and to validate what love is, but the true power, the true transformation is in learning to love ourselves and to tap into the reservoir of love that resides within us.

Venus, the planet of love, and Pluto, the planet of transformation come together on this 222 day to remind us that we can transform our lives, the world, and the Universe through love, but first and foremost, we have to learn to transform ourselves through love.

We have to remind ourselves that love comes from within us, love is us, and it is through the recognition of this that we are able to truly build and create the life and the world that we all desire.

Love is the soul of the Universe, love is what has brought us here and love is what will return us home. Love is all there is.

On this 222 day, take a moment to tune into the love that is inside you. Thank the transformational journeys you have been on that have brought you closer to this love, and feel the power and strength that this love can offer.

Love, true love, universal love is all that is real, and when we tap into this, when we realize that it flows through us, around us, and is us, we can all become master builders of our dreams.

Intuitive Astrology ~ The Rebirth of Venus 2018, Loving Ourselves ~ October 21, 2018


By Tanaaz

Here I am yet again, writing another article about Venus Retrograde. I guess she has a lot to say.

Venus has been retrograde since the 5th of October and will remain this way until November 16th, but on October 26th something very special is happening.

On this day, Venus is going to complete her rebirth. She will still be in retrograde, but on this day she will rise up as a morning star and begin a new cycle.

The cycle of Venus begins when she appears in the morning sky. From this point forward she gradually moves until she becomes an evening star. Then, as Venus keeps moving, she dips below the horizon and fades from view.

If you like to look at the stars at night, you may have even seen Venus shining brightly for the last few months. She is one of the brightest stars in our evening sky, but we won’t see her again as an evening star until late 2019.

As Venus would dip below the horizon every 19 months or so, the ancients believed that she was entering the underworld. They believed that during this time Venus would undergo a type of death, and this death process coincides with her retrograde.

venus asks for self-loveIn astrology, a retrograde happens when a planet appears to be moving backward. Of course, it is not actually moving backward, but this is just how it appears from our vantage point in the sky.

As Venus continues traveling backward she will meet with the Sun on October 26th. This is her grand rebirth moment, and from this point forward she will emerge from the underworld as a morning star.

Even though Venus will still be in retrograde, we may begin feeling a shift or turning point of energy around this time.

Venus is the ruler of our hearts, so while she has been retrograde, we have all been challenged to focus on matters of the heart.

A Venus retrograde highlights our love life, our relationships, and our finances, but on a deeper level, it is really about learning to love ourselves more.

Lessons of the heart are often painful, so if you have been having a rocky time so far during Venus Retrograde, October 26th may bring some relief.

It is important to understand that Venus Retrograde’s job is to expose the true nature and the true calling of your heart.

If you have been having issues in your relationships, Venus is simply shining a light on them so you can begin healing and making amends.

Taking action often becomes easier once Venus begins turning direct again, however after the rebirth of Venus, we may feel more confident and secure in how to move forward.

Even though we may all be experiencing different heart-related issues, the message of Venus is the same for everyone- learn to love yourself.

Venus wants us to love ourselves so we have more love to give others. Venus wants us to love ourselves so we can set healthy boundaries and say no to things that drain us. Venus wants us to love ourselves so we can see that we are all connected and all one in the same.

So, as Venus is reborn on October 26th, we have to start asking ourselves what we want this next cycle to feel like. We have to ask ourselves where we want to lead our hearts.

While we don’t always get a say in what comes our way in this life, we can have a say in where we would like to go. In fact, now is the perfect time to start thinking about the rebirth of our hearts and what new direction we wish to take.

Do you want your heart to be more: Open? Fierce? Loving? Passionate? Compassionate? Sexy? Responsible? Creative? Wiser? Supportive?

Take a moment to think about what new energies you want to bring inside of your heart. Take a moment to think about your rebirth and what you would like to embody.

Venus may have her own ideas that may come along with this rebirth too, so be open to her messages and trust what unfolds, but there is no reason why you can’t have a say and set an intention for what you want.

Finally, the death and rebirth cycle of Venus is really about learning to love ourselves and to find the truth within ourselves.

If a relationship has ended or if some painful truth has emerged know that it’s ok to let it sting and burn, but then also know that it is all to help awaken and deepen the strength of your heart.

That’s all Venus wants. Stronger hearts. So we can love ourselves. Love one another. And love this planet. And goodness knows, we could all use far more love in this world.
