Yesterday, September 13th, 2013, at 11:32p PDT , Venus in Scorpio made an exact trine aspect to Neptune Retrograde in Pisces.
Venus in Scorpio is pretty intense. Partnerships are not shallow and are not taken lightly under this influence. Connections run deep and don’t shy away from the darkness inside ourselves and our secrets and shadows that we hide in it. For these one-on-one relationships to make the life-altering impressions they can make on us, the individuals involved must allow each other to go down into those darkest depths because that’s the only way they can truly know and trust each other. After all, that’s ultimately what Scorpio is all about – vulnerability and trust.
Neptune is the ruler of Pisces, so it’s especially at home in this water sign of unconditional love and inspired vision. This is the sign and planet of the dreamers and romantics, and the selfless servants and martyrs to world causes and religions. This pair is also known for ignoring red flags and escaping pain with avoidance behaviors or through substances to avoid dealing with things altogether. The retrograde motion means that this energy is happening on a more introspective or personal level – you are awakening to things from the outside in, assessing what is happening around you. Therefore, you are witnessing the inspired romanticism that others bring to you and engage in around you, and you have an opportunity to be very attentive to how you respond to it as well as what it may make you aware of about yourself.
That said, when Venus in Scorpio and Neptune Retrograde in Pisces come together in trine aspect, it should be wonderful. After all, trines are supposed to be good, right?
Yes, trines are considered positive aspects. However, good in aspect theory doesn’t always mean good in actual practice. Sometimes there can be too much of a good thing. Other times, what may be good in the moment may not be so good later on.
For some, making such a profound and passionate emotional-spiritual connection with someone like the ones that are possible under a Venus-Neptune water trine is a dream come true. This is the stuff of romance novels and “chick flicks”. The depth and intensity of your connection doesn’t scare you – it excites you! This could be that take your breath away romance that you’ve searched all your life for.
On the flip side, the depth of any connection made now could become a nightmare because it also gets behind and below any façades that may be in place. It gets into your deep, dark, and dirty and has the potential to reveal it. It can bring Light to your shadows, burrow into those holes that you keep your tightly-kept secrets hidden, and uncover your most terrifying demons. This is the flip side of intimacy – the part that reminds you that part of making a powerfully honest connection with a partner requires letting your guard down and trusting them with not only the most beautiful parts of you but also the least beautiful parts of you.
That said, if you want to connect with someone in a profound and life-altering way, if you’re ready to come clean and let someone know ALL of who you really are – inside and out – this is the time. After all, this is a trine aspect. There’s a chance that they’ll still love you afterward.
That said, they may love you in the moment. But as time goes by, the demons that cannot be overcome could destroy the relationship. Through this process, you may find that your partner’s demons are too much for you, or you may find that your demons are too much for your partner.
But one thing to note about this aspect is that it is happening under a Virgo Sun – there is an energy of healing and restoration in the air that brings forth a desire to heal, restore, and renew each other in transformative ways during this Venus-Neptune trine. Therefore, you may find that by revealing yourselves completely to each other, you are able to help each other move through darkness to Light and healing much more quickly and effectively than either of you could alone.
Just remember that things can be very passionate and powerful right now under Venus in Scorpio trine Neptune Retrograde in Pisces. Use this trine effectively, wisely, and carefully in your partnerships of all kinds. The effects of this trine aspect can be felt Wednesday September 11, 2013 through Monday, September 16th.
