Astrological Impact of Venus in Libra: Turn Conflict into Connection

Venus is in dignity in Libra from 6th August 20:15 BST/7th August 03:15 HKT to 10th September 17:21 BST/ 11th September 00:21 HKT.  

Venus is about love, harmony, and resolving any conflicts with strategic flair.  Libra is about being graceful, diplomatic and fair in your social dealings.

Alter your mindset and see conflicts as opportunities to deeper connection, although hardworking is required along the way.  

Apply the goddess' touch in your social interactions. Turn control into connection.

Timeline

Venus trine Pluto and oppose Neptune on 10th-11th August; love runs deep, but easy to misplace as the full picture is shrouded from view.  Just before the solar eclipse in Leo on 12th-13th August, Venus trine Uranus, so watch out for some surprising development in your intimate relationships.  The lesser benefic (Venus) meets up with the greater benefic (Jupiter) in a sextile on 17th-18th August, bringing luck and opportunities in areas of your life that are ruled by Libra and Leo.  Isolation and pessimism could creep in on 21st August when Venus oppose Saturn.

Full Moon in Aquarius 2013

On 21st August, 02:44 BST, we have a full moon in Aquarius at 28 degrees 11 minutes.

A full moon marks the culmination point, where hidden information comes under the spotlight.  It is a great time to tweak existing projects and plans before continuing on to the next phase.

Aspects

The Sun conjunct Mercury in Leo oppose the Aquarius Moon conjunct Neptune in Pisces. This full moon is ruled by Uranus, which is oppose Venus in Libra, forming a T-square to the existing Uranus-Pluto square.  

Full Moon Message

We are entitled to our own thoughts and opinions (Sun-Mercury in Leo), and possibly quite proud of them too.  However, this full moon in Aquarius is encouraging us to use our individualism in a wider context - to give back to the community/to contribute to humanity, instead of finding ways to get applause from the audience. The T-Square (Uranus - Pluto - Venus) and the Venus quincunx Neptune are urging us to make adjustments to break out of our own existing (probably tightly-held) personal beliefs and values.  This is a good time to release some outdated beliefs in the area of relationships and to make room for a breath of fresh air.

This full moon straddles my 1st -7th axis, forming a T-square with my natal Moon in 10th (which activates the natal Moon-Uranus opposition).  This is an opportunity for me to release some emotional baggage in order to free up some space for more impersonal concerns.  It's not always about 'me, me, me,' but 'How can I serve in this world?'
