Venus in Swati ~ Sowing seeds of new friendship

Venus, planet love, luxury and the arts, is in Swati within the sign of Libra from September 11^th to 23^rd, 2021.

In its own sign, Venus sends a message of fairness and balance in relationship, and you reap the rewards of patient attention and bargaining. Swati is associated with subtle qualities of mildness and intellect, justice and forgiveness, which gives you great promise in relationship.

You bring tact and diplomacy to every situation, along with the confidence to back your own judgement. Building alliances and promoting and selling yourself also comes naturally, and your agreeable qualities put you in line for promotion.

Swati’s Shakti, or unique gift, is ‘To Scatter Like the Wind’, which for Venus suggests sowing seeds and making social connections among a wide variety of people. Campaigning for justice is also a big issue, and you are impartial in a work dispute and unselfish when bringing friends together.

Swati’s airy nature shows a flexible, changeable style and you are ready to adapt in a love affair for the sake of peace – as long as your compromise doesn’t give too much away. This nakshatra is ruled by Vayu, the Wind God, who has a connection with intelligence, knowledge and the voice, and rewards studying, teaching and mantra-chanting.

This nakshatra also has an affinity with Ma Saraswati, devata of wisdom and the arts, so your creative pursuits get a boost – you can begin or revive a project and express yourself in style.

Venus receives the influence of strict Saturn through this transit, peaking September 17^th, so you may have to work extra hard at relating, and be patient if a friend is out of touch for a while.
