“Keep it weird.”
If you live by any rule this week, I hope it might be that one.
Venus moves into Aquarius on Wednesday, 7 December 2016. The planet of love, beauty, art, and receptivity is moving into the element of air as it meets up with eccentric, rebellious Aquarius.
Aquarius doesn’t just encourage us to expect the unexpected, but to be the unexpected. Both Venus and Aquarius can be quite social. If you’d like to tap into their energy to break out of any routines that feeling way too same-old-same old, you might want to seek out new experiences with your closest friends, or reach out to some of your more fascinating acquaintances and see if you can form some new bonds.
Breaking out of routine by getting out and experiencing the world might be the way to go overall, whether that’s in building a new community base or skipping out of work early to catch up with an old pal.
Aquarius can be quite a cerebral sign that finds excitement in pushing beyond convention. With Venus hanging out here until 3 January 2017, it offers about a month of creative experimentation. Maybe you’ve been thinking of penning a wildly experimental poetic opus, or want to start making wardrobe choices that reflect your magical workings and lend power to your intentions.
Whatever new experience you’re waiting to have, this is the time to begin moving towards it.
Here’s a look at what’s coming up for your sign this week:
Aries (21 March — 19 April)
The edge you can stand on in the coming days is one that has the potential for you to start your own revolution, though I don’t see this edge as one you need to stand on alone. What bright idea do you want to draw others to? What gap do you think you can fill in this world? I encourage you to get clear on it this week, Aries, and begin taking steps to make it happen.
Colour to wear: Red
Taurus (20 April — 20 May)
The edge you can stand on this week is one of creative innovation. What idea have you been harbouring that would require you to push past your own artistic boundaries? If you don’t see yourself as an artist, think of what your words, actions, and presence create when you walk into a room. Now think of what you might want to alter. Perhaps it’s time to shock your audience, whether they’re fans, friends, or a little bit of both.
Colour to wear: Silver
Gemini (21 May — 20 June)
The edge you can stand on this week is within your own sense of faith. What do you have trouble trusting in right now, Gemini? Maybe you don’t recognize your resistance as a struggle at all. Question what you think you know about yourself, the universe, and your relationship to it. It might be time to place your trust in something that will ask you to believe before all of the answers become available.
Colour to wear: White
Cancer (21 June — 22 July)
The edge you can stand on this week is one of that will ask you to choose between the status quo and the wild unknown. You might be finding yourself coming up against some big questions that have been brewing for some time now, and that are causing you examine the push-and-pull between responsibility and obligation versus experience and experimentation. Only you can decide which way to go, Cancer.
Colour to wear: Grey
Leo (23 July — 22 August)
The edge you can stand on this week is one of cool detachment. The influence of Venus in Aquarius can do a lot to help you to reassess your relationships, particularly those in which you are giving too much of yourself, while receiving little to nothing in return. Use the coming weeks to do an experiment to see what happens if you say no instead of yes, or if you pull back your social efforts just a little. I bet certain suspicions will become crystal clear quite soon.
Colour to wear: Black
Virgo (23 August — 22 September)
The edge you can stand on this week is one of personal innovation. Where do you feel ready for a change? What rut do you want to shake off once and for all? The coming weeks look to be a time when you make a 180-degree shift that will transform your relationship with yourself. First, start with getting clear on what that might mean in terms of your self-image and self-perception, and then start making it happen.
Colour to wear: Gold
Libra (23 September — 22 October)
The edge you can stand on this week is one that asks you to re-imagine yourself as the most powerful magician possible. What would your most impressive ability be? What kind of magick would you practice, and what spells would you weave? Write down an oracular mantra for yourself in the coming days, and begin to focus on what kind of power you would like to step into in the weeks ahead.
Colour to wear: Purple
Scorpio (23 October — 21 November)
The edge you can stand on this week is one that transcends the physical realm, Scorpio. Get out of your body. Seek out a new meditation practice, or consult with a new oracle deck. Ask how you can connect with a higher realm, and your higher power. It looks like you are due to spend some time in the ether.
Colour to wear: Blue
Sagittarius (22 November — 22 December)
The edge you stand on this week is a place where you are asked to look down at a grand vision and ask yourself how you can ground it in reality. What are all the moving pieces you see down there, and what will be required of you to bring it all together? This is a time of planning, Sagittarius. Stay lofty in your ideals, but realistic in your approach.
Colour to wear: Green
Capricorn (22 December — 19 January)
The edge you stand on this week is that of a blank canvas. You need to clear the slate, Capricorn. Things have been messy lately and it’s time to give yourself a re-set. Sure, most people wait until the first of January rolls around, but I think you could use a bit of a head start. Pretend that your new year has already arrived. Put any forgettable, or regrettable, moments behind you and start fresh.
Colour to wear: Black
Aquarius (20 January — 18 February)
The edge you stand on this week is one of gentle expansion. What are you ready to stretch towards? I get the feeling that part of this answer lies in looking at what you love about yourself. If you haven’t checked in on that in a while, take some time in the coming days to bask in the glory of your strengths. Don’t be shy about it, Aquarius. That’s where you’ll find the gold you’ve been looking for.
Colour to wear: Yellow
Pisces (19 February — 20 March)
The edge you stand on this week will bring you to the brink of some much-needed healing. In the coming weeks, you will be your own oracle, Pisces. Write a love letter to yourself. Scream across an empty lake. Dance under the cold stars. Do something that allows for deep release but also profound connection into who and what you are.
