Venus and Jupiter

Today sees the beginning of a very special planetary alignment. Venus in conjunction with Jupiter. Nothing particularly unusual about that, you may think, but because Venus is now about to move into a phase of retrograde motion, there will be not one, not two - but three conjunctions between these planets this year on 1st July, 4th, 5th & 6th August, and the final contact will be on 26th October. On a personal level, if you were born on - or close to - any of these dates, the Venus Jupiter conjunction will affect your chart for the next 12 months after your birthday, bringing love, happiness and prosperity into your life. Also, if your birthday is on, or around, 15th August, 22nd August or 8th September, this wonderful aspect will be in conjunction with your natal Sun - but only for a couple of days. 

 So, if your birthday falls on any of these dates, make sure you do something to attract this positive, loving and indulgent planetary energy. It would be a great time to propose - Venus and Jupiter both symbolise marriage. It's also a perfect opportunity to buy something luxurious or extravagant for yourself or someone special. Venus and Jupiter are also connected to fertility - so perhaps, for some of you, this will mark the beginning of something very special indeed.....

 In Mundane Astrology (the astrological analysis of world events) Venus represents decision-making, financial matters, diplomatic relations, war and peace. Jupiter represents religion, morality, foreign countries and cultures, and international laws. It does seem that there will be concentrated attempts to ease conflict and regain balance in an out-of-control global situation. However, there are some hard aspects from other planets - including a square from Saturn and a conjunction from Mars - to this otherwise benign and positive planetary influence, and these could bring a breakdown in peace initiatives during August, followed by military action by November. But, having said that, Venus and Jupiter bring tremendous hope, so perhaps there will be a turning point by the end of 2015.

    Lovely article. I saw this planetary line-up last night, so beautiful. Interesting to read the astrological meaning.

    I hope this doesn't seem like a dumb question but: Do you think a Venus/Jupiter conjunction could explain the Star of Bethlehem? The 2 of them together looks like a really bright star. Awesome sight.

      Not dumb at all - that's a great question! Yes, I do think a Venus Jupiter conjunction could have been what was seen in the sky by the Three Wise Men, who were actually astrologers.
      There have been so many theories about the Star of Bethlehem - some astronomers think it may have been an exploding star (supernova) which sounds likely. Others think it could have been a comet. This is also likely but, as astrologers, the Wise Men would have associated comets with death and disaster, not the birth of a king. The brightest star in the night sky, Sirius, is another idea. But this star is visible most of the time, so why would the Wise Men have suddenly attributed such important meaning to it?
      So, the most plausible explanation is that the Star of Bethlehem was a planetary conjunction. Some think it might have been Jupiter and Saturn, but Venus is brighter than Saturn, so I'd bet on it being a very tight conjunction where Venus and Jupiter actually appear to merge and produce what looks like an incredibly beautiful, very bright star.

      Imagine if this conjunction was a sign of the 'Second Coming'? Just a thought.

    Sue has asked me to telll everyone that she is still in hospital. She will not be able to work on Liam Payne's horoscope. However, she has completed more than 80% of the 1D horoscope and will do her best to get it published as soon as possible after the 23rd July.

    So would Liam's (29th of August) and Niall's (13th of September) birthdays be close enough for conjunction with their natal Sun?

    The final paragraph in this post is particularly on target. You said "military action by November" and look at what's going on right now with the Russians! You should do more Mundane Astrology, Sue.
