In the pre-dawn hours, Venus in Leo trines Chiron in Aries, the third and final aspect between these bodies during Venus’ retrograde cycle! Along with two previous trines on June 29 and August 14, this arc has outlined a story of forgiveness and heart-healing. We have all made mistakes in love and romance! We’ve made mistakes with our money! But by reframing these “errors” as life lessons, we develop more compassion for our journey. We are even more inclined to offer grace towards those who have wounded us in the past. We hurt ourselves by holding on to old grudges. Fear of future pain makes us less willing to take risks that might change our story! Today, we remember the good times instead of harping on the bad. After all, others are not our gateways to love. Rather, they hold a mirror up to reveal the love that is always within us, love that we have access to at any time. As we reconcile this pain, it changes how we show up in our present relationships.
Late in the morning, the Capricorn moon forms a harmonious trine with Mercury in Virgo, synthesizing emotion and intellect. This is an excellent aspect for decision-making and critical thinking. We are inclined to follow protocol and adhere to tradition. Yet ultimately, we care about whatgets results. We’re not going to blindly follow procedures just because they’ve worked for someone else. Instead, we’ll run some tests to develop our own best practices. Because there is an easy flow between mind and mouth now, it’s also an ideal time to have tough conversations and clear up misunderstandings.
