Venus X Aquarius 2021 By: Erin The Urban Mermaid
February 4, 2021Remember that song from the 70’s by the 5th Dimension, “Age of Aquarius”? (WOW, they were droppin’ some major hints back then!) That song always makes me think of a groovy kinda love, free, open and not conforming to conventional, traditional standards of relationships and sex – that is BIG Venus in Aquarius vibes! And here we are, as of February first the planet of what we love and value has entered the zodiac’s most rebellious sign!
Let’s talk about Venus herself. She is the natural ruler of Taurus and Libra, she is the Empress. Venus embodies Mother Nature, fertile with creativity, a love of all things and people of great beauty and a zest for living life through the senses. She is a foodie, a fashionista, a mother, an artist, a connoisseur of fine wine and decadent dessert and a sensual lover. She FEELS and so she is. Venus is the Divine Feminine. In astrology we see Venus not only rule over what, how and who we love, but our possessions, our money, and our values including our SELF VALUE!
Now about this transit, Venus is taking an exit stage left from the sign of Capricorn, which could not be more opposite to her position in Aquarius. She leaves behind the need for serious romance, a classic relationship dynamic and a touch of being old fashioned. And she welcomes in embodying her true self as a lover, perhaps one who is more open, more free and thinks outside the box when it comes to both romance and sex! The freakier the better, for one, Venus in Aquarius will keep her lover on their toes! No lover, no problem! This planetary position encourages you to be free enough to explore yourself and give yourself the pleasure you deserve.
The biggest lesson Venus in Aquarius is here to teach us, well, it’s one of the most important of all – SELF LOVE. Aquarius is proud to be the unique, sovereign, visionary individual and it’s time to stand as that person proudly and love thy damn self! Love and value the person that you are and all you’ve been through, the light and the shadows, because it is all a lesson and it has gotten you to where you are now, which is where you are supposed to be.
A few other things to note while this transit is in place, which is through February 25th, a reminder about the lurking Mercury Retrograde. Do not let the fuzzy communication get in your head and manipulate your thinking. Aquarius can be a little scattered and can overthink the smallest things. Aquarius also loves to be amongst kindred spirits, so this period is a great time to be enjoying your friendships.
Some Tips for Venus in Aquarius

- The freakier the better!

So friends, enjoy this time. Come out of mental Mercury and get your Divine Feminine on with Venus in Aquarius!
