Happy full moon friends! Early tomorrow morning, at 12:17AM PT, the moon reaches her apex in the earthly realms of Virgo. At this time, we are likely to feel the tangible blessings that Jupiter in Pisces has been offering. Our fortunes are made manifest in the physical world and are grounded in reality. In addition, we may feel there is now a detailed plan in place to execute our dreams into earthly existence.
The eve of this lunation felt like a good time for me to introduce something I've been dreaming up for many months now. One of my favorite planets and 'energies' to work with is Venus. For the past number of weeks, Venus has been riding quite a roller coaster. Currently, she is in a very poor position (between Saturn and Mars). You could say that matters of love and harmony are especially fraught at the moment. Come April, however, Venus will be entering the loving waters of Pisces. Venus will be in Pisces this year from about April 6th to May 3rd.
Pisces is the sign of Venus' exaltation. This means the planet of love has heightened and special abilities here.
When I think of Venus in Pisces, I think of all the cheesy 80's love songs from my childhood. Queue Steve Winwood's uplifting and romantic song Higher Love. Youtube video here. The lyrics really say it all:
Think about it, there must be higher love
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is wasted time
Look inside your heart, I'll look inside mine
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?
Venus in Pisces is romantic, big-hearted, and sentimental. I believe Venus is exalted in this sign because of the capacity to love without judgment or material expectations. You could say it represents a 'higher love'; a love that is of a deeper and more spiritual nature.
I'm especially excited for this Venus in Pisces season because she will be joined with Jupiter + Neptune. This is a dreamy and rare transit we want to take full advantage of!
Venus in Pisces Magic + Talismans
For the past few years, I have been learning the ancient art of astrological magic and talisman making. So far I've only created talismans for myself and my friends, but I plan to start publicly offering some talismanic material in the very near future. My first offering will be for Venus in Pisces.
You might be wondering what a talisman is or what it's good for, which is a great question. The most honest and simple answer is -- a talisman is a physical object imbued with specific magical properties. Whoever wears this talisman will experience or emanate the properties of that talisman.
Astrological talismans are perhaps the first kind of talismans ever created. I can't say that for sure, but it is a practice that goes waaaaay back. Word of warning, astrological talisman making is powerful magic. You want to make sure you know what you are doing, especially if you are working with anything malefic.
A case study on love.
This April, I will be making a limited run of exalted Venus talismans. The talismans will be made to attract an 'exalted' kind of love. When worn, they should assist in harmonizing relationships, attracting a deeper love, and increasing romance. Because I will only be able to make a small amount, I'm hoping for them to go to people who are currently in search of love. They would also be great for folks who experiencing relationships difficulties of any kind.
I'm viewing this first set of Venus talismans as a case study, and I'm going to be gathering information about people's experiences with using them. Each person who receives a talisman will be regularly recording their experiences with relationships for the first month or two. Any personally identifying details will be kept confidential or private.
Interested in joining the case study?
In exchange for your time in recording your experiences, I'm planning to offer these talismans at a very affordable cost. In other words, I'm more interested in your experiences than your financial support. If you are interested in receiving a Venus in Pisces talisman, please send me an email.
Simply let me know that you are interested and let me know what you hope to use the talisman for (no need to get super personal, unless you want to!). Again, this is a highly limited offering. I can only make a small handful of this particular 'magic'.
I've certainly had my own harrowed and winding journey with love in my past. Over the years, I've felt much fulfillment in supporting others on their own journey in love. So it is my sincerest pleasure in creating this new offering.
Happy full moon,
Suzy
