The Sky Now - An Astrology Blog (October 9)

Venus, the planet of love, attraction, creation, and creativity, is now in Virgo, where it will reside until November 8.  Bring healthy Earth element grounded balance and care energies to the garden in which you live your life now.  Bring those same energies to how you love in your life.  Consider whether you have been reckless in who you love.  Consider whether you have been unhealthy in your desires. 

Are there things you need to detach from now?  Behaviors?  Patterns?  Are you attracted to toxicity, chaos and dysfunction? Is that because it may feel familiar and there is comfort in the familiar?  Do you focus too much on the needs of others and not enough on your own?  Or are you too self-focused and selfish and frequently manipulate people?  Do you use people?  Do you allow yourself to be used?  Do you see life and other people through an overly-critical, negative and judgmental lens? Do you have an inability to commit?  Do you sabotage relationships to prevent yourself from being abandoned? 

Venus in Virgo is an opportunity to develop new insight into your relationship life, into your part in things, into why you think and act the way you do, and to do inner reset work that will lead to better experiences and results in your love life.  The quality of your life in the world is always a direct reflection of your own inner state of being.  Tend to your inner self now, and also put energy into tending to the garden you live in and to the greater community around you.  It is the responsibility of each one of us to contribute positively to the health and well-being of the physical and human community in which we reside.
