Your Relationships on Venus & Ketu in Virgo

How are your relationships going?

Have you encountered any interesting connections these past couple of weeks?

If so, you’re not alone and the astrological weather is ripe for it!

In Vedic Astrology, the planet of relationships, love, and connection has been in the organized, earthy, and service-oriented sign of Virgo since August 24th.

Sensual Venus in the realms of analytical Virgo can bring interesting challenges, since Virgo loves to “perfect” things as Venus prefers to “go with the flow”.

When we’re stressed, this shows up as criticism in our relationships or a reduction in sensuality.

When we’re balanced, we choose to process emotions through communication or create systems and structures that support the greater good.

All the while, Venus has moved closer and closer to our past life karma planet, Ketu.

Since Ketu is considered a “shadow planet” (it causes eclipses), its energy can be challenging to pinpoint. 

One thing that is generally agreed upon is that Ketu tends to be very particular (aka: picky!) and can create distance between things.

When you consider that this is a planet of past life karma, it makes sense that it has a “been there, done that” attitude and is unwilling to compromise for the sake of societal norms.

So how may this be playing out in your life?

Well, the interaction of Ketu and Venus in the sign of Virgo… 

At its best, it really ramps up the desire to improve relationships 

At its worst, it nitpicks everyone and everything in sight.

On the other hand, you may simply encounter “karmic relationships”. Those people from the past with whom you have unfinished business.

Ketu and Venus came to their full conjunction on Tuesday, 9/3, which means that this energy is still active but will continue to dissipate until 9/18, when Venus moves into the Vedic sign of Libra.

Until then, keep yourself balanced with yoga and meditation. Journal about the thoughts and feelings that are cycling through your mind and body. And direct all of that desire for improvement toward YOURSELF!
