My Momma Said I Could

As most of you know, I have a more than passing interest in astrology. I was looking at transits last night, just to see what's going on in the skies.

I found that Venus has just moved into Virgo and is getting ready to retrograde (appear to go backwards), a rare event. Let's make it simple. Venus rules all things that has to do with the heart, including ROMANCE, ROMANCE WRITERS, THOSE in the ROMANCE industry. Venus likes to expand and generalize (lovely feeling when everyone is buying into the idea of love). However, it's not "happy" going into Virgo because Virgo, by nature, is a nit-picker. Virgo likes to pick apart the whole into details and generally drives Venus crazy with the what-ifs and how-about questions.

Now, not only is Venus going nuts with this Virgoan transit, but people with strong Virgo houses are either busy picking apart ROMANTIC details or are frustrated by being the ones picked on. Not only that, but Venus is going retrograde, so...it's not an easy happy let's-all-just-be-friends feeling. Essentially, everyone wants a say in anything that has to do with the heart, including the Romance industry and what romance writers should wear at a signing.

I know I might sound like I'm reaching to some of you. But hey. I have a strong Virgo house, so of course I'm picking at this my own way ;-).

Quote from astrobarry, a site I enjoy: "When Venus goes retrograde in Virgo, we could fixate on one isolated quality about somebody that we adore or detest (Big Ass Swan Hat, anyone? Thigh stockings?), only to ignore so many other relevant factors that will reemerge as significant later. We may also be unnecessarily critical of the ones we love, outsmarting our own good by nitpicking the beauty away." Ha. Looking at that 634 comment debate, I think he's just hit the jackpot with that observation.

Didn't you laugh at the evil look on his face in the show-and-tell? ;-)
