At the beginning of last week, the two brightest planets in our solar system, Jupiter and Venus, crossed paths in a dazzling astrological event called a ‘conjunction.’ This celestial slow dance of the planets happens every year but is only ever visible to the naked eye about once every 15-20 years, so too bad if you missed it.
Luckily, all hope is not lost, as the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter is actually the most powerful planetary relationship in astrology, and their intersection only intensifies their power, potentially meaning great things for you and your love life.
Venus, named after the Roman goddess of love is the second planet from the sun and the ruling planet of Libra and Taurus. Venus represents love, beauty, peace, harmony and change and also happens to be the only planet in the solar system named after a woman, the Roman goddess of love, and rightly so too.
Venus is what dictates our attachment to others, presiding over both who we attract and who we’re attracted to. On the other hand, Jupiter, namesake of the Roman king of the Gods and the ruling planet of Sagittarrius, represents growth, possibility, good-luck and tolerance.
This year, the meeting of Venus and Jupiter coincides with the new moon being in Scorpio meaning that positive elements of power and control, the qualities of a Scorpio new moon, are thrown into the mix.
Libra’s and Aries are the zodiacs that’ll be most effected by this November’s Jupiter-Venus conjunction as they fall under the direct influence of both these planets. Expect intense feelings of passion, attraction and lust to be your driving forces throughout this month.
The meeting of two or more planets in conjunction maximise the planets individual qualities and the intersection of Venus and Jupiter is the most desirable of all, making now the best time for you to find the love of their life.
Combine this with a Scorpio new moon (a celestial alignment that hasn’t occurred in over a decade) and love, luck and liberty are guaranteed to be on the horizon for you from now, all the way through until 2018.
Thank your lucky stars!
