So, let’s dive right into this Venus Chiron situation. My previous blog post stirred up some controversy, but in a good way. While there were a few complainers, the overwhelming response was positive, with many people expressing their gratitude. But let’s take a little break from Moon Pluto aspects for now (don’t worry, we’ll come back to them later!).
Chiron in Pisces went retrograde on July 1st, and Venus entered Gemini on July 4th. Pisces and Gemini “square” each other, and it’s crucial to pay attention to this aspect, whether it’s a transit or present in your birth chart. Squares often bring tension, but let’s dig a little deeper.
The retrograde status of Chiron signals a time for review, rather than the emergence of a new issue. Squares are so deeply ingrained in our lives that we often don’t even notice them. They affect us in profound ways, tearing us apart, holding us back, and wreaking havoc on our relationships, especially if Venus is involved. Eventually, we come to the realization that we are part of the problem, not just victims of fate or other people.
Now, before the haters jump in, let me acknowledge that there are always exceptions. Some may experience squares differently, and not all squares are created equal. Nevertheless, it’s essential to be mindful of your squares and uncover how they function and affect your life. Sometimes, you may need your partner or friends to help you see your blind spots without becoming defensive. Squares have a sticky nature, and if you let your guard down, they can be harmful.
While Venus is in Gemini, it will square Chiron (and also Neptune). You’ll feel the effects of this aspect, as it builds up to its peak on July 30th. It’s fascinating that on the same day, Venus sextiles Uranus, offering some relief, and the Moon is in Scorpio. Use this time to research the wounds that arise.
The truth or information that is revealed during this transit will be about you and how you handle relationships, love, social life, self-esteem, and friendships. A painful truth may come to light, and it’s crucial to focus on yourself rather than blaming others. It’s easy to fall into the victim mentality, feeling devoid of love, health, purpose, and all sorts of things. Venus square Chiron intensifies these wounds, making them feel permanent.
But here you are, reading this blog, and that’s something. It shows that you’re willing to wake up and face your challenges head-on. Remember, Venus is all about survival, and when it squares Chiron, it destabilizes the Wounded Healer’s healing and forces Chiron to pay attention to Venus. It might make you feel unloved, ugly, and hopeless, but this transit will pass, and life will continue. The question is, what will you do during this time? Will you let it pass by, or will you find a way to grow?
Venus in Gemini loves to dance, and she wants Chiron to join her. Let the clouds part and let love in, as this Venus square Chiron transit is primarily about the experience of love. It may be necessary to start over, to embrace a sense of humor about your situation, and find a creative way to own your victimhood. Prayer may not be directly creative, but it is an action driven by a core belief or faith that the situation can improve.
Chiron in Pisces can leave us feeling lost and muddled. It’s a vast and boundary-less energy. However, when Venus squares Chiron, your self-esteem may rise on a Gemini wave. Venus wants to dance, to be pretty, to talk. She wants to know that she’s okay and doesn’t need fixing or healing. Remember, you are not just a wound—you are so much more.
Keep your head up during this transit and embrace the lessons it brings. It’s a chance for growth and transformation, an opportunity to heal wounds and redefine your approach to love and relationships. Stay strong and keep dancing through life.
