The Hot Red Lipstick of Venus Conjunct Jupiter in Aries

Hey everyone, this is Adam Elenbaas from Nightlight Astrology. Happy Monday, everybody. Today we are going to take a look at one of the biggest transits of the week, which is the upcoming conjunction between Venus and Jupiter in the sign of Aries. So we're going to take a look at this from 10 different points of view today to try to get you all ready for this archetypal combination as the week rolls on.

There are some light and dark sides to this transit though generally speaking, when the benefics, which are Venus and Jupiter, get together and they're positively configured in, say, a trine, a sextile, or even the conjunction, you typically get some really nice significations. So I think most of these are things that we can look forward to this week. There are a few little, you know, warnings, I guess, or red flags that are there in any kind of archetypal combination. So we'll go over those as well.

We may use that in a future storytelling episode; I really appreciate it when you guys share your stories makes for some pretty good episodes here and there. As you guys know, who watched the channel, those are some of my favorites to make. Anyway, um, so that that covers it. Let's go ahead and put up the real-time clock.

So we're looking at the transit of Venus and Jupiter. Alright, so Venus and Jupiter getting together at the 12th degree of Aries. So if you have any planets in cardinal signs at the 12th degree, this conjunction of the benefics will be making an aspect to, like, get squares to Capricorn or cancer planets at 12 degrees opposition to any planet at 12 Libra, which is a pretty good aspect from two benefics. So just something to watch for in your chart. At any rate, Venus and Jupiter conjoining. This is March 1 in the evening. That's this Wednesday.

If we go forward from there, one of the things that we're also going to be talking about this week is the very next day, March 1, into the second; we're also going to be talking about the conjunction of Mercury and Saturn, which is also a really significant archetypal combination. So it's interesting that those two are happening side by side. We will be talking more about that when I cover Mercury and Saturn later this week. So that is the transit that we're looking at, Venus conjunct Jupiter.

Today I have ten things that you can watch for or ten things that will tend to show themselves as significations of Venus in Jupiter's conjunction. I will add a little bit of Aries flair to these as I go along. But in general, these would be true for any kind of sign combinations of Venus and Jupiter combinations, like overall. So the first one is the simplest and probably the reason that people enjoy this transit so much and that again, generally, I would say this is a great transit this week is that it's just happiness, transit. It's a transit that correlates with people literally feeling happy or excited. It can be charismatic, and it can be enthusiastic, it can be inspired, it can be enjoyment, it can be joy, or pleasure.

Generally speaking, when the benefics come together, there's a feeling cyclically like it's the perfect day. It's the perfect weather, whatever that is for us probably, for me, it's like spring or summer weather, you know, but there's that feeling of, like, this is a really nice atmosphere. Everything just feels a little easier. Things seem to fall into place, and there's a general feeling of enjoying yourself.

One of the most beneficial aspects of this transit is the feelings that people tend to report when this transit comes through, and those feelings are generally joyful, happy pleasurable. Enthused, you know, appreciative. Sometimes it's romantic. But generally speaking, it's just the transit that brings happiness. So that's the most basic thing to watch for is, you know, there's, there's a little bit of happiness in the air now.

I've been reading a really interesting book on the tarot called; I think it's, called Meditations on the Tarot. And it is, it is a reflection on it's like essays or philosophical reflections on the Major Arcana. Anyway, in one of them, the sort of mystical teacher who wrote the text, and I think he's actually, he's anonymous, like, it's not, maybe it's known who wrote it now. But I think when it was first published, it was published anonymously. Anyway, this author goes on to talk about how mystics live happy lives, but they don't have a good time. I think that was the phrase that he used, it was like, and then he went on to explain that, you know, you want to be careful because some of the experiences that are most conducive to suffering are those that are pleasure-inducing but that carry us away from a sense of acceptance and like contentment. It doesn't mean you can't be happy. But there is a little bit of a warning in Venus Jupiter combinations, where it's like, you're going to feel super, potentially very happy. But then the potential to get wound up and sort of attached to something like, well, it should always be this way. Or mean, it's just it's something that gets inflated. You know, it can; it's not always fun when the thing, the same thing that got inflated, gets deflated, right?

So, it's just like a simple concept. But I think that there's a way of experiencing Venus Jupiter combinations, where it's like it's pleasurable, it's enjoyable, it's uplifting. But it's also you don't get carried away by it; you recognize the potential for a happiness mania to take over. And you don't want that. I've seen people get super high on Jupiter's transits to Natal Venus.

For example, where the good stuff that comes through doesn't last, and then you can start banging your head against the wall because it doesn't last. So that's the only thing that I would warn against is like, be happy, but be content be happy. But know that this too will pass even happiness will pass. And then you can really enjoy it in a way that's not super attached or clingy. Just kind of an ancient stoic way of looking at it; maybe that's too boring for everybody. But just something to keep in mind.

Number two is beneficial relationships. So beneficial relationships would literally be benefactors, or anyone that grants you that gives the green light or the thumbs up or says yes, or grants you a privilege or a benefit or an aid or a boon or a blessing. That gives you something that, you know, is beneficial. It's a transit of allies of beneficial people and partnerships of beneficial influences of the right person at the right time seeing your work of special opportunities to build coalitions or collaborations. So any kind of beneficial uplifting relationship would fall into Venus conjoined Jupiter territory.

Now in the sign of Aries a sign the first sign of spring, it is possible that the kinds of relationships that you encounter have, there's a pivotal quality to them, which means that you know because you meet something, it sparks a fire, it creates an immediate action or impulse to do something or to start something. So I would watch for relationships that also act like that, lighting the fuse of the fire sign of Aries. If you have that, I'm not sure I take articulated that well. But yeah, so anything, any kind of relationship that is both beneficial and maybe has an exceptional feeling to it, it's starting something.

Number three would be noble and beautiful aspirations, the things that we love or are attracted to both sort of morally, spiritually, philosophically, or from a value standpoint, that we also find beautiful and attractive. So if you think about the good idea, the noble idea, the beautiful, noble aspiration or ambition, it's a very Venus Jupiter combination, and in Aries, there could be a galvanizing of action or sensitivity to advocate or fight for something that you believe is both noble, beautiful and true. So keep kind of keep that in mind. But yeah, this is a combination that can produce within us. This spirit of action as it is compelled by something that we find to be both beautiful and sort of noble.

Number four would be beauty amplified or exaggerated. So it's like, I'm gonna wear the world's most red lipstick with, you know, like a, you know, I'm going to dye my hair red, and I'm going to, you know, so like anything that would just be like super over the top fiery, dramatic embellishment of like beauty or a piece of jewelry that's like huge and sort of fiery and catches your attention. You get the feeling of anything that is anything that is beautiful on its own being made bigger or maybe exaggerated. So you got to be careful in the exaggeration; it can be almost gaudy. It's a keyword that comes to mind, or show showy, or provocative or arrogant, but also anything that just becomes something that's beautiful, that just is just made bigger and showier. So, look for that.

Number five, warrior goddesses. So by this, I mean the Empowered spirit of, you know, women, or the feminine as an archetype that, you know, anyone works with what to speak of, you know, so like the inner feminine or like, or like literal women or whatever. So, you have a warrior goddess as an archetype of advocacy and action on behalf of women, or of strong women as leaders or women as moral or spiritual advocates. The spirit of feminism, or sort of the red tent kind of vibe. The warrior goddesses could also be literally about women in sports or major athletic achievements from women or something like that. Also, anything that is bold and provocative, and empowering for the feminine. I mentioned this before, but we were looking at Rihanna for the halftime show of the Super Bowl, and we were looking at Jupiter in Aries in her chart and what it was touching and saying it would probably it wouldn't be surprising if her show had a kind of empowered feminine warrior vibe. And she wore all red and announced her pregnancy. Right? So it's a very, like, yeah, just a super Jupiter in Aries with the Venus vibe. So anything sort of warrior goddess related, that archetypal combination is very Venus Jupiter in Aries, the sign of the ram.

Number six would be extravagance or indulgence. So anything that's like, going over the top, when it comes to material things, or that is, you know, like, I'm going to pursue something like something that I'm lusting after or, you know, like, like, I'm eating too much, I'm spending too much. That kind of thing. So any kind of extravagant material or sexual impulse? Maybe a like tendency toward greed or lust or vanity? That can be maybe even a little bit bullying too, like, there's a like, like, my wealth. I'm showing off my wealth and power in a kind of domineering way. So stuff like that, like most shows of power and wealth and beauty, are kind of a bit like a feminine machismo if that makes sense.

All right, number seven would be hedonism. So this would be like an I'm not just meaning like you know, that sort of Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow you will die, said casually. Well, someone you know quaffs a beer at the Renaissance Festival. It's, like, it's more like the actual philosophy. This world is all there is; this body is all there is; nothing's, you know, perfect live life. Take it as you know, take it as it comes, and live life for the sake of pleasure for the sake of maximizing pleasure and maybe doing no harm or something but like something around moral or philosophical justification or the pursuit of pleasure of a coma, you know, so that philosophy can be moving through the psychic air even if it's not one that you think you live by be surprised when this transit comes through, you may adopt it for a few days.

So number eight, over the top kindness or politically correct behavior. And by over the top, I just mean usually exaggerated for the purpose of getting something or getting somewhere, like kind of manipulating impressions so that you look diplomatic. For you appear harmonious, but you have an agenda, and a little bit of that agenda comes a little bit from the fact that Venus and Jupiter are in a Mars ruled sign which usually has some ambitions and desires and almost like a conquering, you know, desire to be victorious or to come out on top so Venus Jupiter can be like, the world's best diplomat or it can be a sign of someone who has a wonderful social charm or you know, social the social grace or whatever. But this is a combination that could easily result in, you know, there's an ambition and a ruthlessness behind it; it's a little bit there from the Aries Mars symbolism.

Venus Jupiter can also just be number nine socially opportunistic, so that's not always a bad thing. I don't mean that the word opportunism may sound more negative than I need it to sound; it could be negative, as in, you know, it's not what you know, it's who you know, kind of thing like, climb your way up through advantageous social relationships.

Some of that's, I think, probably important in every job in every industry that you get to know people and make advantageous allies and friends and colleagues and stuff like that. But this would be a little bit more like, you know, that back that backstabbing, gossiping, I don't really care about any of these people, I'm just trying to get somewhere, that would be the worst of this one. But otherwise, it could be just also looking at advantageous relationships and ways of progressing, moving closer toward the realization of your goals through, you know, beneficial friendships or professional networks or something.

Number 10 would be expensive taste now that kind of goes along with extravagance and hedonism and stuff like that. But it's amazing how specifically Venus and Jupiter will correlate with high-ticket, high-priced items. And so just kind of keep that in mind. And also, I just added this one, which is that you will often find with Venus Jupiter combinations that some sense of moral order is undermined by desire. And maybe it needs to be.

For example, there's always the story, you know, of someone who's too uptight to steer, and they fall in love with someone, and that love causes them to, you know, to open up and be more spontaneous, right, and to set aside the moral, you know, righteousness and to let their hair down and, you know, go nuts, you know, have a drink, get laid, set your righteousness aside for a minute and let yourself enjoy. And, you know, sometimes we need to do that because we guard ourselves against experience itself because we're afraid of being wrong, you know, or, we're afraid that what we do or what we experience will be wrong, or that there will be some consequence later. And so, we try to protect ourselves from the value of any kind of raw experience, especially the unknown, risky, vulnerable experiences, by standing behind certain moral certitudes. And sometimes this combination comes up when that needs to be, you know, just toppled. And we just need to have an experience and live and learn. And then we learned something as a result of just letting sort of Venus do her thing.

You could say Venus is always in favor, let's say, of just having experience and letting the heart and desire body sort of let its intelligence lead us even if sometimes it leads us into things that we realize in hindsight, you know, weren't good for us. It's also the only way, and in some ways, that's the only way you can learn, you know, watch kids, you have to let them experience certain things to figure out what they like or don't like, or what's healthy or safe or what's not within, you know, within reason.

I think we should trust the planet. Sometimes. Venus Jupiter comes up, and you're feeling like doing something a little naughty, you know, like, there are probably worse things that could do than just say, okay, like, I don't know what's going to happen, maybe this is naughty, maybe it's not. And then we'll just see and live and learn.

On the other hand, you could easily hear a voice in your head justifying something that you know isn't good, that's destructive, and that will sort of lead you astray. But the, you know, sort of desire or temptation may be great. So you have to discern that for yourself with this one sometimes.

Anyway, that's my list of 10 I think that gives us a really good set of ideas to keep in mind for the transit of Venus and Jupiter this week. We will also be looking at some of the big Astrology of March, and we'll be sure to take a look at Mercury and Saturn conjoining in Aquarius as well. All right, that's what I've got for today. Hope you guys are having a good day and a nice start to your week. We'll talk to you again soon. Bye, everyone.
