| Choose a Wedding Date by Venus' Meanings |
Choose a Wedding Date by the Spirit of Venus in the Signs The dates during which Venus will be traveling through each sign gives us a meaning which prevails, like a spirit, at most ceremonies. When your ceremony aligns with Venus, magic happens. Astrologers liken the planets and signs to waves on the sea, or a tide pattern: some patterns have a strong current, while others just let you float. "Mama said there'd be days like this," said the old song and sometimes we wonder, "What was in the stars today?" If your planets are lined up, you are moved along as if sailing forward. When Venus is aligned compatibly with your birth signs, the bride enters a moment with a memorable "forever quality," something that can only be described with a moist-eyed smile. The Meaning of Your Ceremony is dependent on the stories --the starry narratives--occurring in the sky on the day of your wedding. You will be better informed for your wedding date by using astrology to find the best occasion, according to the stars.
Venus has her own mind, and does things her way, and according to her own tastes. As a bride, you want your style and preferences to blend to her taste. "The Spirit of Venus " describes the style or mood for that period, at least for acheiving the goals that astrology in this casual form can muster. When you are guessing and trying to do this without an astrologer, you must at least try to locate the position of Venus in your, and in your groom's, charts. With this little bit of information you can use the rules of compatibility (earth + water = yes) (fire + air = yes) to summarize your tastes and their expressive qualities as marked by Venus. Are your Venus' in fire signs? Then choose a date which has Venus in a firey sign, and the fun will be amazing. Does he have an earth Venus and you have a Fire? Not to worry! This is not an indicator of a bad match, but that you will explore your differences as you come to making decor and style choices together.  The Spirit of Venus in Taurus; (top) Sometime in April or May When Venus usually enters her own sign Taurus, the zodiacal year for Venus begins: She increases in her power and stature as she proceeds. The months of April and May have long been associated with "Spring Fever," which correctly identifies Venus' renewed vitality and power over our moods and tastes. We literally "spring" to life with the new flowers and perhaps a longing for a crush--on someone. How long we have wintered in our dispirited wait for natural and spiritual greenery or floral refreshment? Venus answers from her home in Taurus with a love of lush texturing, patterns upon patterns in a visually-rich display. Velvet or suede, real crystal, or genuine porcelain all are preferred by this richly self-indulgent Venus. The Spirit of Venus in Gemini (top) Sometime in May or June Venus enters Gemini to shower us with qualities of light chatter, charm, socially connecting events. Here begins a new reason for staying in contact, and sending cards because Venus loves sentiment, spontaneity and the warmth of a good conversation. Weddings planned for the weeks of Venus' transit in Gemini are events which attract your most locquacious friends to the microphone at the reception. Some may need a five-minute timer! Your wedding guests will favor gifts of communication, or accessories for their mobile phones, anything that enables connection, whether electronically or in the snail mail. Your thank you's can be memorable, and your love of conversation will keep the wires busy. The Spirit of Venus in Cancer (top) While Venus is in a Watery Sign (so are Scorpio and Pisces) she loves being there! This is the home of good food, but when it's for Venus, we turn to fine dining, excellent wines and a stash of incredible breakfasts. The comforts of being in relationship center around the menu, for union with loved ones and the pleasure of a repast shared by friends and family. The greatest satisfactions come from the first moments of silence at the table, which inspires many to roll their eyes in heavenly delight. This wedding period requires sensuous food and comfortable surroundings for enjoying a meal, and even a banquet. This is a style issue because the guests and the style of catering must meet each other's need for eyes-roll-back-in-your-head satisfaction. The Spirit of Venus in Leo (top) A passage through the sign Leo always promises brilliance, pageantry, shining and noticable from a distance: All qualities given to the Sun, which is Leo's ruler. Venus wears gold, shines bright and glowing, taking her place in the center of all, hoping for greater satisfactions from ambience, and allowing all else to take a lesser status. The feeling of importance and grandeur are her style. How to show, or display, or shine a light upon your event is Venus' special task while she is visiting in the Solar Manse. Golden, sunset, and splendor are her favorite locations, but don't squint your eyes too much!  Venus in the Spirit of Virgo (top) The Virgin is really a mother and daughter storyone which recounts the feelings of separation awaiting them both as daughter acheives her wedding day. While Venus is in Virgo it is wise to partner with a maternal type to make your wedding stand out. Is your wedding coordinator watching out for you like mom did in the fourth grade? Is your caterer exacting and likely to pass muster with your own mother? The season of Venus' passage through this sign gives over to harvests, and her special emblem is the grain. This a motif of Virgo, the emblem of "micro" where we must focus our eyes on the little things that make life special, and order the smaller version in greater plenitude when given the chance. Use Venus in Virgo to give breads, recipes, tiny replicas, and modestly designed jewelry for the Mother of the Bride. Venus in the Spirit of Libra (top) Libra is also home to Venus, where she is at an equinoctal moment of the year: The hours of day and night are equal. This gives rise to the idea of "balance" and serenity, a requirement of harmoniousness. The femininity of this sign gives rise to elegance and floral display of pale colors with curves and loops to fancy the imagination. Some might even add a cherub to the mix, if only to smile on his antics. While Venus is in Libra, the wedding event is formal in feeling, if not in execution: politeness and grace mark the conversations and decor is a blend of good proportion and great design. Venus in the Spirit of Scorpio (top) Scorpio's needs for privacy are legendary. The small event with no overhead helicopters peeking in is where the bride feels most intimate and deeply connected. This location for Venus' transit marks inwardly esthetic moments, where displays of affection are reserved for private places, and a need for quiet ceremony is in motion. Scorpio's preference is for hidden getaways, secret hidaways and no one around but "us two." Travel to lonely or sacred places for long walks and incredible sunsets, or find a meditation teacher to co-create your first year of wedded bliss. Inner practice and outer discipline are trademarks of Venus' transit through this sign of jewel-dark colors, rich textures and crisp manners. 25-Sep Venus in watery Scorpio has a beautiful weekend for celebrations on October 4-5, when she is in aspect to Jupiter, here providing lush generosity and discreet giving that elevates her appeal. A Uranus sextile promises the "getaway" after the wedding will be the most fun of all, so laugh it up, expect everyone will attend, get some good pictures and then get on a crazy conveyance to swoosh out of town.  Venus in the Spirit of Sagittarius (top) The Party Begins while Venus rambles through Sagittarius, flying high on her ideals, and allowing a true bachanalian esthetic to wow her wedding guests. She is in the mood for outdoorsy activity, even if it is winter, she would love a ski lodge or a beach resort, no matter, just as long as there are views of incredible horizons, this is a happy-go-lucky style of enjoyment. The sporting crowd is in a mood for a gamble, and raucous games give way to hilarity. A photo-booth at the party gives everyone laughter for years to come, with memories of their warmth and good-naturedness on record. While Venus is in Sagittarius, travel plans satisfy: The notion of crossing borders and enjoying a trip is high on Venus' mind. Venus in the Spirit of Capricorn (top) The unlikely possibility that Capricorn has deeply sensuous needs should not surprise anyone: The contrast between what Venus wants and how the Sun portrays Capricorn reveals a tale of a different color than all that "work, work, work" ethic of the Sun's management skill. Venus brings out the feeling connection in this somewhat reserved moment and drives a new agenda toward a homestead, a place of permanence or some acheivement of long duration. Venus in Capricorn wants to stand among monuments, reminders of historic grandeur and importance. Consider high quality in every effort as your Venus in Capricorn tastes venture to what is tried and true: Tiffany's, Gump's, Neiman Marcus and other high fashion retail establishments are products of a Venus in Capricorn affinity for taste, style and expensive goods. Venus in the Spirit of Aquarius: (top) Aquarius' style of working around the barriers of what others might consider to be "the norm" is a game while Venus is in Aquarius. Just how off-beat can she be? Quirky and non-conformist, Venus' style while she visits with the Water Bearer borders on intellectual, reasoned and possibly dry, requiring wit, music and humor to skate the edges of seriousness. A dry wit, a love of conversation, and a need for formal surroundings enable your guests to relax. Venus in Aquarius is not afraid of trimming the budget in one place if only to have all the expense focussed on great food and relaxation. |
