After this week’s eclipse and challenging astrology, it’ll be nice to kick off a week with several opportunities for positive magic.
Friday the 12th Venus in Cancer is trine Saturn, with the Sun in Taurus and Moon in Aquarius. This suggests the forces of desire and enchantment supported by discipline and boundaries. This is the lunar day ‘for fishing’ which in this case suggests magic to draw in the things you need. So set lines and cast nets in order to bring those things into your waters.
But what if you don’t know what it is you want to capture in your nets? A common problem, as humans are notoriously bad at knowing their true desires and what they want to manifest in the world. But the good news is that the beginning of the week has a couple of days good for divination and self-exploration.
Sunday, Venus moves into Cancer, opening opportunities for exploring your subconscious for clues to what it is you truly value and desire to make manifest in the world. This day is particularly good for traditionally (and stereotypically) feminine-oriented magic — so offerings to Goddesses or female Saints, nurturing and intuitive exploration of your deepest self, and so forth.
Monday is for ‘opening locks’ and this is another great day for divination, particularly lunar divination (water scrying, crystal ball work, dream magic, intuitive journeying). If you, like me, are usually more of the practical side of divination (cards, coins, or astro spreadsheets - guilty!) it’s a nice change to to go heart first.
I think it goes without saying that you don’t need to be a woman or have women’s anatomy to do this kind of work. Everyone can connect with these powers, just as we can all connect with those powers coded more masculine. We all, every one of us, have Venus and Mars in our charts (as well as the Sun and Moon, Jupiter and Saturn - which I often relate to as feminine, and dual-natured Mercury). So let’s not limit ourselves, or each other, as we dig deep to explore who we really are.
This week there are also days for disruptive malefica, meeting the devil at the crossroads, magic for speech, and a day to pray for the protection of divine love (which you might need after all that cursing and devil stuff).
