When Venus and Neptune Align
A time to invigorate love
by Martine Jeanne Craughley
When Venus and Neptune are in lovely proximity to each other their combined energies makes for an auspicious day for love - a day to reinvigoratie, refinine and re-imaginine your love life.
Very simply, Venus is the planet of love, beauty and relationships while Neptune presides over creativity, dreams, mysticism and art.
The ancients regarded this interplanetary mix of love and deep creativity as a particularly potent day for weddings, creative projects and the forging of partnerships.
How do you take advantage of the astrologically beneficial energies available to you? Well that depends on your situation, of course!
Single and Looking?
If you're single and looking for love, you'll be unusually captivating and magnetic today. Don't waste this energy at home - go out! Just be aware that you'll be seen in the most positive light by your suitors, you'll be perceived as gentle, feminine and alluring - the perfect woman. Yet, there's more to the real you, so be prepared to help that new suitor adjust to the more complicated and interesting reality tomorrow.
Single and Definitely Not Looking?
At this moment, your creativity and insight can be channeled into a deeper spiritual awareness of questions. What do you really need from your lover and your love life? And what do you want? Where might you have misled yourself? Did you let yourself go along with something you intuitively knew wasn't right? How angry are you? Where are you channeling that energy? If it's not in a positive direction, like choosing new challenges, imagine how to make that change. And if you're sitting pretty, enjoying the peace and comfort of your own company, use your imagination to define the wonderful qualities in a lover could open you to change.
Single and Attached?
If you're feeling satisfied and content, then use all the magical, inspired and inspiring energies in the air today in your boudoir. Enjoy! Tonight should be memorable. However, if instead you're wondering, "What happened to the one I was so crazy about? Who is this imposter?" Then you've been blindsided by infatuation and invested your lover with qualities possessed only in your mind. This may feel awful but it's actually very hopeful. This is reality knocking at your door. You can work with the Real - you cannot work with unrealistic fantasies. Now is the best time to use your insight to see if this imperfect, flawed partner is a keeper or not. After your initial disappointment, you may see that honest, flawed and real is still a pretty good deal.
Getting Engaged or Married?
If you happen to be, or can plan to be, getting either engaged or married on this ideal day for love and relationships, you've been doubly blessed. That said, considering Neptune's dreamy idealism, do a reality check and make sure you're making a good decision that will last a lifetime. If you don't know for sure, ask a couple of friends, a sibling and a good psychic. If you have real confidence in your choice, today is a harbinger of a wonderful partnership!
No matter what your romantic situation, today is an ideal day to send things in a new and better direction!
