Look all the way to the left of the circular wheel to the “asc” and that’s your rising sign :)
Capricorn rising:
If you’re a Capricorn rising, you’ve spent the last *several* years deconstructing yourself, your identity, maybe have dealt with challenges in your physical body or health. This Venus retrograde is really uncovering and digging up a lot of the *beyond* powerful transformation that you’ve undergone with these powerful conjunctions in your 1st house… talk about shedding layers. This is a great time to take genuine inventory of your whole life, looking at your life as an extension or a mirror of you.
Aquarius rising:
The last several years, kicked up several notches through the 2020 conjunctions, have caused you to purge purge purge on such a deep level. This is a time for the wise, personally responsible Aquarius risings to really really clear karma and things that are lurking like a stranger in the woods in your subconscious mind. This is a pruning phase for what is next, quite a long drawn out ones. I do feel that there will feel for Aquarius risings such a strong sense of rebirth come March when Mars & Venus move into Aquarius… like groundhog day but on a whole different level.
Pisces rising:
Talk about a revealing of who is really here for you… especially in 2020. Your friendship circle and your network has likely had to go from quantity to quality… and Pisces rising is so so generous with their energy usually, so likely you had to identify a few leeches, or worse, go through a few betrayals. This Venus retrograde is a reviewing of all of this work that you’ve done with regards to who you keep close and who you keep closer… and you may have to make some revisions to that list. And ultimately, because Saturn is in your 12th house, you’re learning what it means to be alone with your multidimensional self, so really good to delight in the magic of your own company throughout this whole transit. <3
Aries rising:
Your career has been burned and risen and burned and risen and burned and risen. You perhaps have come up against harmful authority figures or situations, maybe have had to push yourself to work really hard when you don’t want to and perhaps you’ve created opportunities from shit, or nothing. Really take this time to congratulate yourself for your hard work and see where you’d like to go next in career because when the slingshot catapults you forward in February and March, it’ll be a good time to be open for what comes. Likely what is going on in this realm and reality at this time… could play into some interesting career opportunities for you. Not that we want to take advantage of hard times, but with this in your 10th house, you actually have something major to contribute to this all in a positive way.
Taurus rising:
Ohhhh Taurus… the amount of belief system deconstruction, disillusionment and potential for information overload in addition to Uranus being in your sign… you deserve a medal in my opinion for just how much you have changed and grown in spite of your love for the steady and the same. You may have completely changed the way that you view the world, your perception of God, your perception of yourself… we don’t realize just how much our belief system actually creates our world until we have transits like this one. So this is a great time to review some of those inner changes and how they’ve mapped onto your outer world, a great time to pick up a book on the hermetic laws, or whatever your spiritual proclivity is, and go deep within your inner world to make sure that this new belief system actually matches what you’re trying to create. Start an agreement breaking practice and watch your life change, especially when Venus and Mars move “forward” in February-March… when the potential is definitely there to take all of the belief work that you’ve done and revive your career that has seen likely a lot of action in the last year.
Gemini rising:
As a Gemini rising, you’ve probably had one of the more challenging go’s of things lately. These Capricorn transits have been in your house of death, rebirth, transmutation, transformation, intimacy, vulnerability… probably the deepest darkest most compressive energy possible with these Capricorn transits. You’ve probably had to face your darkness in a way that the sign of Gemini, which seeks to keep things light, isn’t otherwise comfortable with. I suspect that if you’ve been going through some deconstruction around intimacy, vulnerability, relationships, etc that when Venus and Mars travel together through your 8th house moving forward in February that this will give you some space to inhale into intimacy perhaps rather than exhaling out of it ~ an opening up, perhaps rather than closing off. This transit may be extremely spiritually enriching for you <3
Cancer rising:
Oh boy. Pluto has definitely had his way with you within your relationships. You have clawed your power back from every ounce of who you’ve given your energy to in this world, have had to look into the black mirror that is *some* human relationships repeatedly since 2008, but really in the last three years on a steep incline. Perhaps you have detached from a lot of narcissistic energies or have identified what is toxic to you in the last 13 years and three years and year… and this Venus retrograde transit is a season of sweeping through that, making sure that you’re in the right environment with the right relationships, making sure that you’re sure that you’re sure about who is surrounding you, and maybe making some adjustments or edits as needed.
Leo rising:
Your routine has changed so much in the last several years, and two years. You may have had to face down some miserable habits, addictions… things that contribute to your feelings of either illness or wellness on a daily basis. You may have been suuuuuper busy at times, especially coming into 2020, and then suuuuper not doing too much of anything at times, and wrestling with the third dimensional beast that is scheduling and the fourth dimensional beast that is time, time management. Learning to be present in the moment is a very hard but worthwhile sixth house initiation worth going through. You may have also tried to get away from the 9-5 hustle that Leo rising can very much fall into, with Capricorn (incredibly traditional, work oriented sign) falling in this 6th house of daily work to begin with… because you innerstand systems and bigger pictures on a deeper level than people realize when they meet you. In a sense, this is a… making sure that your routine, your food, your lifestyle, your work is working for you so that you can perhaps accept the romantic and relational blessings on the other side of this transit, when Venus and Mars move together into your house of partnership.
Virgo rising:
Inner child healing part 138149058 for Virgo risings! This rising sign has had to grow up and be SO responsible, super young, for one reason or another, like Libra risings but in a different way. Learning to use your creative impulses to alchemize pain, when your creativity is directly connected to your inner child and when your inner child can sometimes show up as a little adult definitely sounds like a Chinese finger trap to me… and how that shows up not just creatively but in your potential love relationships and when you’re just straight up trying to enjoy yourself. So in this Venus retrograde you will be challenged to remember play, even if you’re remembering it from other lifetimes, depending upon your chart. The area to watch with this is romantic relationships… I wouldn’t *necessarily* start anything new… but something new may pop off come February & late March so it’s kind of a clearing and a cleansing of all those triggers and red flags of old.
Libra rising:
Holy ancestral emotional sh*t. Over the last several years you have been granted the invitation and opportunity from the universe and from your ancestors to exorcise every demon, round every single corner of your emotional waters and your psyche, which is notoriously trying for Libra risings, with Capricorn in your house of home, family, emotions… and you’ve been gestating something on top of that. So it’s kind of like having to heal your vessel to be able to give birth to a physical child… you’re having to heal all of these ancient future past now wounding so that you can birth something profound, powerful, clean and pure into existence, so that it’s not tainted with your familial patterns and stories. This is the clean-up phase and then when Venus and Mars move together through Capricorn in February… it’ll be very interesting to see the creative stuff that comes up in you and out of you, when they move into Aquarius March 7th.
Scorpio rising:
Words are hard for a Scorpio rising, who feels SO much and can have a hard time opening up and expressing the vastness and the depth that you are, with Capricorn in your house of communication, expression, siblings and your environment. You may feel a push to go super deeply inward, to feel what you need to feel, to communicate with yourself internally, to hear your inner voice and the wisdom that it does carry. You may feel a push to say what you have to say, to share what is on your heart, when Venus and Mars start to really get movin together in February… so if you need to take some silence during this transit, some stillness, some slowing down, some going gently on yourself inside of your own mind and a continuation of the rewiring of your thoughts to be a good place for your vast and deep consciousness to live.
Sagittarius rising:
If you’re reading this as a Sagittarius rising, I’d just like to sew the reminder that… you are way more valuable than you will ever know and your impact spans miles. Your values have changed, your self-esteem in the last several years has taken several beatings after eating one slice of humble pie after another… and likely you’ve had to learn that lesson through money, through people in your life… kind of seeing the full extent of your worth by discovering it yourself after seeing what is actually beneath you! You have been challenged to move forward with new business endeavors, especially in the last four years, leading you into a greater felt sense of physical freedom and autonomy after perhaps encountering situations that made you feel controlled and contained. When Venus and Mars move forward in your 2nd house in February and March, my hope for you is that you’ll be feeling extremely clear on how valuable you are, and how much you matter.
Enjoy this transit <3 <3 <3 I sure will. Great for growth.
