Getting All Up In That: Venus in Scorpio

Money is coming in….money is going out. Hot men and sexy women are popping up all over the place and instant attractions are popping up like toast. For the love of money – what is happening?!

It is Venus in Scorpio.

Venus entered Scorpio on September 8 where it will remain for an extended period of time because of a retrograde phase. This means the planet of love will transit Scorpio until January 7, 2011, when it moves on to Sagittarius.  Venus usually spends three weeks to a month in a sign. This time the retrograde will take it back to the last degrees of Libra before it stations direct and moves forward again into Scorpio) will affect everyone, no matter the zodiac sign under which you were born.

The sign of the Scorpion is the zodiac sign that rules firm emotions, loyalty and commitment. When a planet moves into Scorpio, the things we love become more significant and we all get a little more passionate and possessive about them (read: “obsessive”). In the Scorpion's pincers, nothing bends and rigidity becomes the norm.

Venus is the planet of feminine attraction. Our perceptions of beauty are influenced by the planet of love. Under Venus in Scorpio you may find yourself specifically attempting to make yourself look SEXY – yup, yup, you want the pheromones flowing and you notice them coming from others. Oooh baby, baby, many of us are feeling quite willing to “get all up in that” down, dirty and deep, right now.

But love is not the only thing Venus rules. The other big Venusian area is money. Venus like nice things, soft things, plush and luxurious things. Good food, good sex, good surroundings,

Under this planetary movement, the issue I am hearing about most is money. One woman recently said she made about $100 in a neighborhood yard sale, then just as quickly was forced to unexpectedly spend all but about $5 of it. There are many people finding themselves coming into sums of money and then losing or being forced to spend it just as quickly if they are not careful.

The house Venus in Scorpio is transiting (and perhaps also the opposite house) is where you will find yourself spending money. For example, one woman I know is experiencing it through her 4th house, which covers the home. During this transit she reports feeling a strong compulsion to spend a lot of money to install new laminate flooring in her apartment and buy new furniture. She unexpectedly received a small sum of money and when she came home that same day, all the lightbulbs in her apartment burned out and she had to spend the money buying new ones the next day. Money comes in, money goes out.

So, love or money – which is most pronounced in your life right now under Venus in Scorpio?

Live Telephone Consultations!

LIVE CALLS!!
Many of you have been writing over the last year, in hopes of getting a live reading by telephone. Live readings are available again. Check the call button. If I am not available, arrange a callback or appointment.

Questions about relationships and dating, marriage and divorce, turning 30 or 60 (Saturn Return time), career, financial issues, family, friendships, business decisions etc, can be asked in a telephone consultation.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR A CONSULTATION
There are things you should do to prepare for a consultation. Write out your question(s) so you can be clear about what you want to ask. Be specific. Do not focus simply on a topic. Clarify what it is you want to know.  Once you have your question(s) written, put them on a sheet of paper and leave spaces for answers. Next, meditate or pray for openness and calm so that you are prepared to hear the information you will receive. Next, only call if you have at least 10 minutes to spend. Finally, be sure to put at least 10 minutes of funds in your account before you call. It will take at least 10 minutes for your consultation to be complete.

WHAT HAPPENS IN A CONSULTATION
When you call we first greet one another so we can get a feel for one another's energy. Then you will be asked what is on your mind. Be honest in your response and explain why you have come for a consultation. You will be asked for your month and day of birth and a short Tarot spread will be done to get a general theme of the message for you and the short-term time period coming up for you. Next, you will be asked for your first question. Take short notes in answer to your question(s). When you have finished asking all your questions, please say so.
