Mercury Conjunct Retrograde Venus....

today at 1.10pm in Kilmore.

The continued focus on the early degrees of Aries further highlights the importance of the early degrees of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) suggesting that if you have planets or points in these positions that you are heading for a pivotal time of change in your life that started recently with the New Moon in Aries.

With Mercury, planet of the mind, communication and understanding joining the Retrograde Venus in Aries I think (good Mercury word!), that will begin better understanding the recent shift in our values, especially with the recent Sun/Venus conjunction that highlighted these themes. Being in Aries - a fiery and dynamic sign - further highlights the opportunity we all have to redefine our values and then having the courage to make the changes in our life that reflect these changes.

Venus continues to be retrograde for another few weeks, suggesting that our reassessment of what is important to us will continue until then.

Venus Square Pluto...

Wow.... this is likely to be pretty intense!

Venus represents our values and the way we connect with other people, while Pluto is intensely emotional and complex. Putting these two energies together in the cardinal signs is likely to help us make the changes we need to the way we relate to others and also the way we live our lives that expresses our value system.

Being a square relationship, I would think that the situations we face at this time would relate back to when Venus and Pluto were conjunct back in November 2008.

This aspect begins to form today, and will be exact tomorrow, then will gradually ease off and leave on the 7th.
