passion plays

The story of human intimacy is one of constantly allowing ourselves to see those we love most deeply in a new, more fractured light. Look hard. Risk that.

~Cheryl Strayed, Tiny Beautiful Things

This weekend and primarily today, #venus and #mars square each other from #pisces and #sagittarius , respectively.

Mars and Venus are the archetypal duo within the personal planet realm unfurling the story of our desires, relationships, love and what we find beautiful (Venus) and our passions, ire, how we go after what we want and get it (Mars). Venus has quite the upper hand currently, posited in the sign where she is adored and exalted, Pisces . Here, Venus is seen as having no faults, no flaws, she lounges and waxes and wanes with the changing tide. Mars, presently in Sagittarius is restless, wanting to evoke the archer’s fiery potentials.

As the two square off, passionate tension ensues; the lifeblood of any #relationship .

It so happens to be that while in her lofty landscape today, Venus is exactly on my Ascendant and while Mars squares her from the ever-changing fires of Sagittarius, he sits 1 degree from my husband’s Ascendant. …the Ascendant describes for us our personality and our physical body… All of that passionately creative tension went to productive use this weekend on Crow Hill ❤️ Cheers all my fellow Pisces-risings 🌊 It’s been a beautiful #vibe ✌️ #astrology #starrywonder #cherylstrayed #tinybeautifulthings
