Jupiter-Venus Aspects


Jupiter Conjunct Venus
Too Much of a Good Thing.
Keywords: generous, indulgent, attractive
The devil made me do it is nothing but a convenient excuse for overindulgence, but its a rationalization that could go far for the few days that this transit is in effect. This planetary combination basically brings too much of a good thing. It is, therefore, an excellent time to reacquaint ourselves with the concept of enough. Instead of eating too many sweets or buying some expensive but unnecessary toy, we can focus on social connections and increasing the love in our lives. In fact, everywhere we go, we see sweethearts of all ages, holding hands and smooching. Were practically swooning with affection -- so this is not the day to run off to Vegas for an impromptu wedding ceremony, because bitter reality will return next week! Focus on more enduring matters instead. We have a keen eye for form and beauty, so make plans to redesign your home or personal space today.


Jupiter Sextile Venus
Dress for Success.
Keywords: upbeat, benevolent, lighthearted
Life is good. Very good. We live for moments like these, dont we? Warm and affectionate emotions flow, smoothing the way for social contacts and business negotiations. Demonstrate genuine interest in what other people are saying and youll learn more than you expect. A beneficial relationship could start under this favorable influence; youll know it when you see it. Taking a younger person underwing and becoming a mentor is a wonderful use of this energy. On a more mundane level, we take more care with our appearance than usual, and its a great time to get a snazzy new haircut or purchase some new clothes. Just beware that you dont pay too much -- a distinct danger with this transit, as we feel loose with money right now and generous to a fault. A party would be a great idea. Our ability to relate is heightened and we feel upbeat and attractive.


Jupiter Square Venus
Overindulgence.
Keywords: overindulgence, selfishness, enjoyment
Sticking to the diet could be pretty hard for a few days. Not only do we feel self-indulgent, but our self-discipline is at very low ebb. Our collective tendency is to overdo anything and everything that feels good. We seek pleasure in every form and want to have a good time. Work is going to be a drag when all we want to do is party! We cant pretend that this is okay. After all, everything King Midas touched turned to gold, but pretty soon he figured out that this wasnt a good thing. We may grab the brass ring just because we can, but when we reach it, we find we don't really want it after all. Be very cautious of going on spending sprees, engaging in retail therapy or overeating. If were still pampering our Inner Child, its time to stop, no matter how hard it is during this indulgent transit.


Jupiter Trine Venus
A Positive, Feel-Good Time.
Keywords: exuberant, optimistic, positive
You know how sometimes, when you make a deal, both parties are perfectly satisfied? Well, this is one of those times when that even exchange happens very easily, so go to a flea market or garage sale or make an exchange of services. Youll both feel as if you got the best end of the bargain. Our propensity now is to follow the path of least resistance. Mediation and negotiation should go well, but watch that any capitulation you make now isnt too costly down the road. Folks feel more generous than normal and its a good idea to donate to a local art museum or ballet company rather than spending the money on something self-indulgent. Be a patron of the arts. Spiritual idealism and increased faith can also bring us to a holy place today. Practice reverence. This influence brings out our affectionate natures, so romance is favored.


Jupiter Opposite Venus
Cant Say No.
Keywords: indulgence, excessiveness, fun
Our temptation at this time is to eat and drink till we can't hold any more. We know, somewhere deep inside, that well pay for it tomorrow (with indigestion) as well as later down the line (with weight gain), but somehow that doesnt seem to matter today. Immediate gratification seems more important in the moment. We'd rather sit around and socialize than work, so it will be hard to get motivated, but motivate we must if were to avoid giving in to indulgent and excessive behavior. After work, focus on socializing or meeting up for a date with a someone sweet. Take advantage of the warmth and affection this transit brings. If its been awhile since your last haircut or clothes purchase, now is a good time to do these things, but be careful about overspending, another temptation of this cant-say-no energy.
