LETTING PEOPLE BE WHO THEY ARE Daily Astrology Thurs 10th Aug Venus moves from Libra to Scorpio. In Libra, Venus likes to idealise the significant other, and that can lead, rarely and after many years, to finding it within oneself. Venus in Scorpio wants to merge with the other. At its best, she values honesty and the intimacy that comes with that. At her worst, she is green-eyed and wants to own the other. Intimacy is not the same as having sex with someone, though Venus in Scorpio can easily think that. Intimacy happens when you can talk openly about everything, and that is only possible when you don't need the other person to be anything other than who they are, and that is rare. We need to be able to do that with ourselves first, to be honest and deeply at ease with who we are. Venus in Scorpio cannot have no-go areas. These days, politics easily causes such no-go areas between people. Venus in Scorpio spots the hypocrisy behind idealistic political positions, and that is what she argues with. Venus in Scorpio is not idealistic about the other person, she can live with your faults providing you are honest about them. So this is the theme for the rest of the year around relationships of all kinds, because Venus is soon to go retrograde, going back into Libra, then forward again into Scorpio. Let other people have their faults and warts, let them be unreasonable, if that is who they are. Maybe they don't listen to you, then let them not listen, maybe they don't know how to. But if people are pretending to be something they are not, that is when you say something. Keep it real.
