One of the Brightest Stars
Sometimes not knowing preserves the magic. It’s like the plan that loses its “OMG it’s amazingness” as soon as you start dwelling on the detail and the how tos. Or the first kiss that was, quite frankly, not as fabulous as it had been in your fantasy. Sometimes when you know how things work, they…

Hearts a Mess
A couple of things I forgot to add in yesterdays Venus Rx post: Given that the Rx is in Gemini, a Mercury ruled sign, this retrograde may take on the flavour of a Mercury retrograde- so watch your messaging and your mode of messaging eg it may be worth chatting face to face rather than…

No Regrets
This post could very easily have been called “Ghosts of Relationships Past”, but given my unfortunate habit of using song titles… What does Venus mean to you? Is she about art, beauty and serenity? Perhaps she is all about love, romance and fantasy? Or maybe Venus is how you feel about yourself, whether you feel…

Was it worth it?
Regular readers have heard me wax lyrical from time to time about those soupy dumplings I first tried in Hong Kong, and later wherever I can get them…xiao long bao… Anyways, when I was in Hong Kong, I could easily have had these 3 meals a day. In case you’re interested, there are about 310…

Holding Out For a Hero
I have Venus in Aries, so this post every year is always one that I love writing- partly because of that Aries energy and partly because it means that my Venus Return (and at least one reasonably decent hair day) is just around the corner. Venus doesn’t particularly like being in Aries. Venus is all…

La Vie En Rose

Daydream Believer
There has been an ongoing “discussion point” in our house today between hubby and TTM (Taller Than Me 13) over a decision she made (and I supported) to blow off an intensive butterfly swim session at midday today. She had already swum for 10 hours this week & had done squad this morning and an…

Short Skirt, Long Jacket- Venus in Capricorn
I want a girl with a mind like a diamond I want a girl who knows what’s best I want a girl with shoes that cut And eyes that burn like cigarettes I want a girl with the right allocations Who’s fast and thorough And sharp as a tack She’s playing with her jewellery She’s…

Road to Nowhere
Sometimes music says it best. I have a girlfriend who does a CD mix every year full of songs which say the things she wants to say. I often wish I could do the same, but it would still be exposing my feelings too much. Perhaps this is why I like to use music in…

Bad Romance: Venus in Scorpio
“I want your love and I want your revenge…I want your love, I don’t want to be friends.” This line from Lady Gagas’ Bad Romance sum up Venus in Scorpio perfectly. Venus in Libra was all about partnership, appearances, beauty and charm. Venus in Scorpio is truth and honesty and loyalty and intense compulsion. The…
