Yee-haa! Venus moves into Aries: May 3





Venus, the planet that loves love, loves tasty treats, adores affection, and loves to spread a lot of it around (the planet that also represents money, luxury, beauty, vanity, cosmetics, design and "what we like, love and value") moves into fiery Aries on May 3.

I'm a big fan of this happening because I was born when Venus was in Aries herself. It makes everyones love nature a little bit more aggressive (women start making the first move or begin leading, stay tuned for news stories of just this). We all begin to love a little more selfishly which can be a happy or depressing thing - if we become a little more selfish we demand a little more of our loved ones time (and no one's complaining about being Wanted so bad!) or we push-puhs-push to have it our way or no way, and we forget about the other person's needs and feelings.

Venus in Aries is nothing if not pushy - which is why I'm dragging my bestest friend and buddy and partner along to DISNEYLAND this Friday - to let our hair down and be children (Venus in Aries loves kids stuff: ice cream, candy, rollercoasters, adventure, thrills, spills and laughter.)

Expect to see a little more RED finding its way into fashion trends of this month, as well as people, movies and advertisers using it to woo us - I notice American Idol is using Red (with a splash of white) to advertize the infamous brand of cola (as if it needs an extra selling, but hey I guess it works.

A fun fact you may be interested in - RED and WHITE are colors favored widely due to their hypnotic quality. I've always loved the colors together but the significance goes deeper.

The famous Cola Brand uses Red because according to their vast studies, woman are more seduced by the colors.

Red and White is used on most road signs and a lot of big companies - KFC, Safeway, Ralphs - of course now I'm drawing a blank, but keep your eyes open during the day and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Red and White are found on the MAGICIAN card of the tarot Deck (Rider-Waite deck) and are also the color of BODILY FLUIDS:

Red = Blood = Life (and Death)
White = Milk, Sperm = Life=giving fluids

Red and White are our blood cells too - visible blood often means a new life (delivery room) or the end of one (accident scene).

The colors are powerful and affect the collective unconscious in dramatic ways you may not have thought about until you read today's blog (hey you learn something new every day, right?)

And this is what Venus in Aries LOVES - something, anything NEW!

In some ways, this is our strong arrival into Spring. venus shows what we adore, admire and want to receive so:

1. Make a move on someone
2. Make it happen - whatever it is you want
3. Rough someone up in a loving way (neck bites, and hair pulling is strongly IN now)
4. Love yourself (Aries is the sign of the self) - take yourself on a date
5. Be a Child - go for dessert first and skip your veggies (just this once)
6. Wear Red, be assertive and up your courage
7. If you're timid - be a little bossier. If you're aggressive, teach someone else how to be, and soften up yourself (venus).

There ya go. Some tips on making the most of this period.

I'm off to have as much fun as possible - Venus in Aries knows that naive pleasure and the pursuit of innocence is all that matters - you don't find anything new out about yourself unless you try something new in the world.

How about it?!

Love,
Neil
