On May 23rd, 2024, we have a Full Moon in Sagittarius while Venus and Jupiter make a conjunction in Taurus.
A Full Moon in Sagittarius brings to our attention where we may be seeking answers to big questions, such as, what makes life meaningful to you?
And with Venus, goddess of joy, buddied up with Jupiter, ruler of this Full Moon in Sagittarius, other philosophical questions may surface around what makes you happy.
Venus, also Queen of love, beauty, & pleasure, begs the question:
What does a beautiful life look like to you?
If you don’t know, sit quietly & allow your imagination to ponder.
Often when we sit and listen, answers come. Our bodies & psyches are wise.
When we sit still and listen, a knowing arrives.
Venus & Jupiter coming together also brings forgiveness, understanding, & allowing in relationships if there’s been any stickiness, as well as celebration & joy in being with those you love.
Jupiter is where we seek wisdom. And the wisdom of Venus involves paying attention to what we are attracted to. When we don’t pay attention to our attraction- to what we desire-, we can fall into patterns of “should” or habit, which can lead to dissatisfaction, boredom, & even depression.
Paying attention to what we are drawn to can not only make you happier, it can lead you to where you desire growth.
Hunger is the wisdom of our bodies. Desire is the elixir of life. Longing is the language of the soul.
What do you want?
The wisdom of Venus is also recognizing that another’s love & attention is always a gift.
When we need others to love us in a particular way, we fall prey to the potential of disappointment, entitlement, & resentment. We also risk not seeing all the ways we ARE loved.
We aren’t entitled to another’s love. We can’t make someone else love us, value us, or show us love in the ways we want them to.
When we try, it is called covert control and ISN’T loving. We can certainly make requests, however.
True love isn’t wanting. It’s Seeing… not only is it seeing & admiring the beauty of a beloved, it’s seeing oneself as God through the mirror of another.
