Venus in Purva Ashada ~ A romantic reawakening

Venus, planet of love and art, moves into Purva Ashada in the sign of Sagittarius, on December 16^th to December 26^th 2022.

This nakshatra means ‘the Undefeated’, and its energy gives a sense of invincibility that favours a long-lasting relationship built on secure ground. Purva’s Shakti, or unique power, for Invigoration and Renewal, sees Venus spark a romantic reawakening with your partner or the prospect of meeting somebody new.

This nakshatra is ruled by Apas, the personification of water, so you may decide on a holiday by the sea or to travel by ship, all of which holds promise for you to mix and meet new faces. A journey overseas has a romantic quality which lets you see your partner from a new angle.

This asterism is also known for excellent debating skills, so you can bond with someone over a discussion of principles and shared beliefs. Freedom is a top priority and you choose independence over all other qualities in a relationship.

Purva’s symbol of a Sieve or Fan, is used to separate wheat from the chaff: a sort-out in your affairs lets you decide what you value most, and who you want to be with.

Venus also moves closely alongside Mercury, planet of communication, through this transit, which gives you natural charm and the ability to handle a tricky subject with tact. You have a gift for speaking, writing and using media, and can reach out to a wider audience in a natural, friendly tone.

Purva Ashada is also symbolized by a Tusk, which has an affinity with Ganesha, and chanting a mantra for the Remover of Obstacles gets any new plan off to the perfect start.
