Venus in Vishakha ~ Aim for the highest in love

Venus planet of relating and luxury, enters Vishakha, across the signs of Libra and Scorpio on September 23^rd to October 5^th 2021.

This nakshatra is ruled by Indragni, a combination of Indra, King of the Gods, and Agni, the embodiment of divine fire, which creates a passionate and powerful deity. Vishakha’s symbol of a Victory Arch gives you high standards for your relationships, always with one eye on your status and security.

With this in mind, some may accuse you of ‘ends justifying the means’, but you simply like to have a goal to work towards and insist on the very best. You are fiery and impulsive and look forward to a transformative experience in relationship, where deep emotions take you to another level.

The majority of this transit, up to October 2^nd, sees Venus strong in its own zodiacal sign, where you have the ability to be balanced and sweet, with a romantic flair that attracts people towards you. Venus also receives the influence of stern Saturn through this time, and is squeezed between the intense energy of Mars and Ketu, so your powers of diplomacy and restraint are in demand.

There is potential for jealousy and possessiveness, and you walk a fine line between different factions and interests, which you manage with careful handling. Vishakha’s Shakti, or special power, is to ‘achieve many fruits in life’, ideal for luxury-loving Venus, and you have the moves to mix with a wide circle of people.

With your great focus and intensity, you can tune out distractions that take you away from your task or mission. Yet affection is always the main principle of relationship, and an easy rapport is the final test of who you choose in love and business.
