A STRANGER AT THE DOOR Daily Astrology Tues 15th Sept Venus in Scorpio is still exactly square Pluto. Yesterday we looked at Venus as resources, and the power of money. Today it will be Venus as relationships, and the alchemy that this Pluto-Scorpio combination calls for. It comes out of honesty with oneself about the neediness that we all have to some degree, and the desire for the significant other to assuage that. In this way relationships get stuck - and that doesn't mean they aren't good in other ways - with each person unconsciously being something for the other. Change becomes threatening to each partner's psychological security, and that is why there can be hell to pay if either person breaks the deal. So today be honest about your desire for the little kid in yourself to be taken care of, and start doing it for yourself. This can be a mid-life crisis thing, when we wake up to the collective life we have been leading, and something more individual starts to emerge. It can happen at any age. And it happens precisely through this kind of straightforward recognition that we are not the big strong adult that we imagined. This is how Scorpio and its ruler Pluto bring humility and self-knowledge. They bring suffering if you ignore the call. Pluto, Lord of the Underworld, is the Necessity for life to keep moving forward and unfolding. When this dark stranger, this wild god, comes knocking at your door, go with him, as you are, do not wait. It is time to meet your living Fate. Venus in Scorpio values intimacy. But not its illusion, when we each carry part of the other's psyche and feel we are with our 'soul-partner'. No, she aims for a true intimacy, the result of honesty about who we are, with a clear and refreshing river flowing between two distinct individuals.
