The BIG NEWS today is Venus conjunct Saturn and Mercury in Pisces turns 'Direct'.

Venus and Saturn are in the same sign (Pisces) and same degree (25 degrees). Remember, conjunctions intensify the energy of the planets involved. It's like Venus and Saturn are sitting on the couch together, side-by-side. Not at opposite ends of the couch, Venus and Saturn are seated right next to each other with shoulders, hips and knees touching. "Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes."

Keep in mind, conjunctions intensify the energy of the planets involved. Venus 'needs' some self-worth and net-worth, which comes through money and Love, and Saturn is putting the squeeze, limitation and restriction on it. The intimate, private and exclusive desires are not being met. Saturn is being a bit cold, stern and insensitive to the personal needs of Venus. This is because Venus is a personal planet and Saturn is a transpersonal or social planet.

Well dog-gone-it! What happened to that wonderful energy yesterday between the Sun sextile Jupiter and Venus trine Mars? Folks, that energy is still present. As with anything in Life, you 'get to' tune-into and become anything you want. Maybe you were all jazzed about yesterday's energy, all up in lah-lah-land, and fell into disappointment because romance didn't carry you away. Romance is fleeting and temporary, while Love sustains and endures. BIG DIFFERENCE!

Think of it this way, the teenager in the house is making fun of the needs, knowledge or lack of experience of the pre-teen in the house. As a result, the pre-teen feels abandoned, rejected and neglected when all they wanted was to hang out with their older sibling.

Venus feels Love, but Saturn is a natural restrictor and limitor. Saturn is a cold planet and cools down anything that needs heat; therefore, Saturn is icy, tough and a bit insensitive to those personal needs. Did you know that Venus is the hottest planet in our Solar System at 867 degrees? So you see, Venus is hot-blooded, not cold-blooded. Saturn is the cold-blooded one that sits at -288 degrees. These two (2) in a conjunction are incompatible. Saturn says, "Don't cling to me" while Venus says, "Hold my hand."

Venus is feminine, female, estrogen and yin energy, while Saturn is masculine, male, testosterone and yang energy. Conjunctions intensify the energy of the planets involved. Under this Venus conjunct Saturn aspect they happen to be in the sign of Pisces, which is a very tender, sensitive and intuitive sign. You might feel like saying to your Honey Love, "What's wrong?" or maybe your Honey Love has said this to you.

There is a melancholy, despondent and sulky feeling in the air. There may be emotional and physical distance. Saturn is tough and he's serious, which can easily bring on the tears or a bout of unhappiness and loneliness for unknown reasons. Venus just wants to be Loved, warm and cuddled up like two (2) cats snuggled in their Love swirl.

Venus conjunct Saturn feels lonely, neglected, abandoned and unLoved. This aspect can show up as pathetic and lonely as the little puppy.

If this aspect shows up in the Natal Chart, there is usually a Love issue from early childhood (Venus, self-worth, 2nd house, 1st quadrant) that poses a problem when it is conjoined with a planet like Saturn. When it comes to our mother and father, we should feel nothing except Love and security, but that is not how this aspect feels. It feels unLoved and insecure. Saturn puts the squeeze on Venus. As a result, this energy can come across as painfully shy, mousy, introverted and inhibited. Keep reading . . .

Venus rules our self-worth, morals, values, earned income and personal finances, which translates into our net-worth. So you see, money and Love are very closely related. Maybe you are handing out money or buying the kids something to make them feel better, or to make yourself feel better (less guilty). Saturn is putting the squeeze on Love and may be putting on squeeze on the finances. There might even be arguments or disagreements about money. This can absolutely ruin the handling of the Sun sextile Jupiter aspect that was exact yesterday and still in the 'orb of influence' today.

Venus likes to snuggle and play footies and says, "What are you thinking?" and then quickly turns disappointed and sad when the respondent doesn't say what Venus wants to hear. Venus wants the answer to be a romantic statement, "I was thinking about us and how happy we are." But that's not what happens with this aspect.

Remember, this aspect is compounded by the fact that both planets are in Pisces and it is Pisces who has the natural ability to Love unconditionally. It's over-the-top when Venus is in Pisces because that means Venus in Pisces will put up with just about anything for Love, sometimes even being used, misused or abused. That's hardly Love.

Since Saturn, the karmic planet is involved, this could bring a reminiscent Love back to the brain or heart. A past Love could reappear just to shake your world or check-in just to see how solid your current relationship really is. Sometimes when old flames reappear they are really just checking to see if they still got it. It's quite possible they are feeling insecure and lonely with no Love interest in the works and need someone to remind them of how hot (Venus) they still are. Sometimes it's not about you at all. Or are you the one who is contacting the old flame needing that reminder?

Perhaps that reappearing former Love is not about them feeling needy and unLoved at all, and maybe it's not about getting back together, maybe the reappearance was just to show you how far you have come. How 'bout that? Reappearing past Loves is not always the stroke to the ego that you might need or think. It's okay to take the mature, grown-up and wise Saturn approach and keep surprise old flame conversations on the adult level and not get sucked into the teenage flattery.

At the same time, not having reappearing past Loves can show just how 'complete and progressed' you are. You may not need proof or a reminder of what once was or what currently is. Maybe you are fully in the present and not the past.

When these two (2) planets are sitting next to each other, Venus wants to hold hands and cuddle, while Saturn says that kind of energy is making him too hot (temperature wise) and now he's complaining and needs his sweaty palm free from the grip.

Again, Saturn is a cold planet (-288 degrees F) and Venus is a very hot planet (867 degrees F). This in turn makes the energy shy and inhibited where it cannot fully express itself. We want to get close, but our partner does not. Or maybe our partner wants to get close, but we do not.

This can also show up as a couple where one person is controlling and the other person is reserved and quiet allowing themselves to be easily controlled. Since Saturn is involved, there is an element of parental involvement here (the boss), which does not necessarily mean the father since Saturn is involved, but that is likely choice. This could have been a controlling mother who had a masculine demeanor. This energy is strict, which can make anyone feel inadequate. RATS!

This aspect does have its uses on an artistic level when it comes to sculptors, painters, musicians, composers and song writers.

Since Venus also naturally Taurus (self-worth) and Libra (blind justice), and Saturn rules discipline and responsibility, this can serve you well in the laws of man or in the laws of nature.

Venus conjunct Saturn can also lead one to depression if there are feelings of being unappreciated or unloved.

Folks, use the awareness of this ratty sad and depressing aspect to bring up your spirits, not bring them down. If you value yourself and each other, then act like it. Poor me syndrome will not fix anything with this aspect, so you may as well make the best of it. And watch the tendency to bring others down, if you are down. Misery does Love company.

Also present today, Mercury in Pisces turns 'Direct'. It will take Mercury a couple of weeks to get back up to its normal speed. Think of Mercury like a locomotive engine starting from a stopped position. It takes a while for it to choo-choo again and get those wheels crankin' back up to normal speed. Give it a couple of weeks and Mercury will crankin' at normal speed again.

If you received an 'Ah-ha' from this write-up, please consider supporting my 'original content' and buying ME a coffee. You might say, "One awakening (horoscope) for another awakening (coffee)". What a wonderful exchange of chi' and express gratitude.
