Together, the conjunctions tempt us to take our failures and successes too personally as the echoes of our past are more convincing than usual. The counter- measure is to consistently (Venus) and persistently (Mars) come back to Now. CONJUNCTION #1: 22 Feb 2015 See Figure 2. Mars is in his Elder Phase here, while Venus is ascending through her Remembering & Embodiment Phase. They are both evening stars, though Mars is getting dimmer while Venus is bright- ening. Also note how close they are to one another! With the tantric planets so close at the tropical zodiac’s start, it’s a profound opportunity for rebooting our relation- ships. This “draconic” conjunction impels the inner polarity into more undeniable truth. Sharing the same sky but inhab- iting very different sky qualities, Venus carries most of the load as she is the brighter of the two though she will work hard than usual (Venus in detriment) while Mars may believe he’s leading the way (Mars in rulership). Public perception, embarassment or community affairs may be highlighted. FIGURE 2 – Venus-Mars conjunction at 1 Aries in the Southern Heavenly Fish.
