Venus joins up with Saturn in Pisces, tomorrow on Thursday March 21st, but you may have noticed Venus-Saturn themes all week.
Venus is the goddess of love, relationships, and how we connect. Saturn is a planet about responsibility, duty, and commitment. When these 2 planets come together, they bring up questions about love and responsibility and how we can commit to the things or people that bring us joy.
Responsibility can have lots of negative connotations. Many people feel bound by responsibility- tied up or weighed down by what they have to do. And sometimes, we do have to do things we don’t want to do. Duty isn’t always fun or easy, but it doesn’t have to always be a drag.
Venus and Saturn coming together in dreamy Pisces asks for a different relationship to our responsibilities.
Can what we commit to be a reflection of what we love? And can our commitments and responsibilities reflect a vision we feel inspired by, something that Pisces asks us to consider?
Responsibility is about responding to something with care. Instead of framing our responsibilities as obligations, what if we thought about them as, “I GET to respond to this thing that I care about”.
When we love deeply, responsibility to those things, people, or causes becomes a gift rather than a chore. “I GET to commit to this because I WANT to- because I was so moved or touched by something or someone that I want to RESPOND”.
This is how we feel emotionally moved or inspired to take responsibility.
Some questions to consider are:
Do you love the things you’re committed to? Do your loves & desires call you to commit?
And if you really have to do something that isn’t fun or that you feel tied down by, what are ways to find more ease in it?
Are your commitments something you actually have to do or are your brain gremlins telling you that you “should” do these things? (Also, often a parental voice)
When we can free ourselves from the burdens of obligation, “shoulds”, or joyless duty, we can find pleasure in the mundane and freedom in the container that loving from an open heart gently places us in.
