Venus and Mars will come together in our celestial skies on February 15-16 in the sign of Capricorn. On this day, the Moon will also be at the peak of its fullness in the zodiac sign of Leo, creating some strong cosmic forces that will guide us to liberate ourselves, step into our sexuality, and connect with the fullness of our being.
Venus is considered the Goddess of Love and Mars is considered the Warrior Planet, so when both of these two come together, it helps to create passionate, romantic energy that can pull down blocks around our hearts and activate soulmate contracts.
The Full Moon shining bright in Leo also adds a playfulness to this energy, reminding us that it’s ok to lighten up, surrender, and find the joy. This is especially true when it comes to the connection we have with our bodies.
Most of us are very harsh when it comes to how we look, but this energy guides us to fully embrace and embody the Goddess or God within.
Under this energy, connect with your body through dance, by wearing something adventurous, or by reciting mantras of self-love in the mirror. Own all of who you are, feel beautiful in your skin, and be confident. You deserve to feel beautiful, sexy, and radiant in your body!
When Venus and Mars come together we also experience a rebirth of their energies and a new awakening of both the feminine and masculine principles within us.
Venus represents sacred feminine energy. This energy goes beyond gender and lives within all of us and all of nature.
Feminine energy is represented by wavy lines, running water, and the process of flowing. It is that intuitive whisper, that tear trickling down the cheek, that open heart, and the wanderer’s journey. It is a cool breeze, the sound of rain, the Moon, and the dark night sky.
In Astrology, Venus is is the planet of love, harmony, money, and beauty. Its energy inspires us to connect with our inner Goddess, fan our creative flames, create wealth, and surround ourselves with beauty.
Mars represents sacred masculine energy. This energy also goes beyond gender and lives with all of us and all of nature.
Masculine energy is represented by straight lines, still water, and the process of scheduling and organizing. It is our rational mind, the ability to speak our truth, and the stability and security we need to survive this 3D world. It is the warm Sun, the bright blue sky, and the feeling of accomplishment as we close our eyes at the end of the day.
In Astrology, Mars is considered the planet of action, motivation, and fearlessness. Its energy inspires us to forge ahead, to push past our fears, and to find our inner confidence and strength.
