Within each of us exists all 12 signs of the zodiac. Regardless of our Sun sign, we hold every frequency, every invitation, and every direction of these differing archetypes at different levels and spaces within us. As the planets in the cosmos shift, move, and dance among the signs, they simultaneously bring to life the ways in which we uniquely connect with and express that sign.
When Mercury shifts into Sagittarius this week, it highlights our inner aspects of that sign, and it does so by drawing us more into our minds and expanding our awareness. And as Venus dances through Libra, it brings an ease, magnetism, and loving energy to our we uniquely express this sign and our relationship with Libra.
Not only do these transits hold overarching invitations, intentions, and themes for us, they also support us in getting to know, more and more, who we truly are.
Venus Enters Libra
Beauty. Love. Balance. Harmony. Connection. Art. When the beauty in our environment brings an inner peace, balance, and appreciation that seems to melt through our bodies and minds. When the energy feels good and we feel the hum of resonance with another human. This is Venus in Libra.
In astrology, each zodiac sign is ruled by its corresponding planet. Between the sign and planet in pairing there is an innate harmony, understanding, and shared intention. As they come together, the energy seems to flow and feel safe, supported, and inspired. As Venus enters Libra on November 8, 2023, it returns home to this feeling.
Venus is our planet of love. It invites us to partake in pleasure, harmony, and an embodied knowing of our self-worth. It speaks to our magnetism and desire, our values and attraction. Holding a similar energy, Libra is our sign of love, partnership, collaboration, and beauty. It moves through the world with grace, bringing balance and connection wherever it goes. This pairing, which lasts through December 4, 2023, invites ease and flow within our relationships, an embodied awareness of our worth, and healing to our relationship with receiving the good in life, whether it be in love, finances, our dreams and desires or something else.
Mercury Enters Sagittarius
When Mercury encounters Sagittarius on November 10, it brings a hunger to explore new ways of seeing, understanding, and exploring this vast world that we have found ourselves within. It’s adventure and expansion, perspective shifts and seeing the big picture.
Mercury represents our mind, thoughts, processing, learning and communication. Sagittarius is our quest for meaning. A fire sign filled with passion and adventure, Sagittarius desires to take us beyond what we already know, see, live, and be so that we may explore all that awaits us on the other side, letting it open and expand who we are and what we know and believe.
This pairing, which remains until December 1, invites us to stand atop the highest mountain, where we can see ahead, behind, left, and right. Where we can peer into the small movements and simultaneously hold the bigger picture. Where we can ponder the big questions, like what our unique meaning in life might be or how it all began in the first place. Mercury in Sagittarius invites us to broaden our perspectives of life, to stretch beyond what we see and know in everyday life, and to find meaning within it all.
Your Invitation
With two supportive transits this week, it’s an inspired moment in time to explore what brings you pleasure, love, peace, adventure, and meaning.
There is an air of connection and sociability this week, where you can witness the beauty in coming together with another human and explore how much you can learn and expand your own experience and perspective of life. It’s a week to appreciate beauty and ponder on cosmologies, to sink into your dreams and desires and explore new philosophies and perspectives, and to explore how you connect to yourself and all that you want in life with ease, receptivity, and flow.
