On 9 October 2023, Venus enters Virgo. Hallelujah! It has been an extended Venus in Leo transit – we had 4 months with Venus in Leo in comparison with the ‘regular’ month in an indication.
The distinction between the look-at-me Venus in Leo and the sensible and humble Venus in Virgo is like evaluating Barbie to Cinderella.
Not like Barbie, Cinderella wasn’t born in a shiny outfit; she needed to scrub the entire home to go to promenade.
When Venus strikes into Virgo, the slogan adjustments from “As a result of I am price it” to “As a result of I’ve earned it.”
Venus in Virgo – from Barbie to Cinderella
Venus in Leo is the place we’re unapologetically ourselves. We effortlessly radiate our mild and wonder.
In Jomfruen, we go one step additional. Cinderella was as lovely and dignified as Barbie – however luxurious and ball invites didn’t get her.
Virgo is the place we have to create worth and contribute.
Within the story, Cinderella was usually contrasted together with her half-sisters, portrayed as lazy and entitled. This highlights Cinderella’s modesty and laborious work.
I just like the Cinderella metaphor as a result of Venus in Virgo usually will get a foul rap. Venus is in autumn in Virgo, the place its qualities usually are not given to it; it should discover inventive methods to specific them.
And whereas it is true that, like Cinderella, Venus in Virgo might need to work just a little tougher to make “Venus” – that does not imply that Venus in Virgo qualities aren’t fascinating. There was nothing flawed with Cinderella’s humility, kindness and diligence.
We all know that Cinderella was pressured to tackle the position of servant in her own residence, doing all of the family chores, cleansing, cooking and tending the hearth.
She is usually depicted within the story as sitting by the hearth, coated in ash and cinders, therefore the nickname “Cinderella”. Cinderella comes from the French identify Cendrillon, that means “little ash”.
The ash metaphor is intriguingly related to Virgo. The ashes are what’s left after the lion fireplace is burned, and acts as a extremely nutritious fertilizer usually utilized in agriculture (Virgo guidelines agriculture).
Venus in Virgo and Pisces
Cinderella’s story, like all fairy tales, embodies magic, miracles and timeless knowledge, reminding us of the enduring energy of hope and the extraordinary potentialities that come up from atypical circumstances.
And this reminds us of the other signal of Pisces. Virgo and Pisces are 2 sides of the identical coin. They’re the final signal to finish a map hemisphere (within the case of Virgo it’s the backside, northern hemisphere of the self, within the case of Pisces it’s the higher, southern hemisphere of the world).
Each Virgo and Pisces are thresholds.
They’re the house for optimum changeable power. That is the place we’ve to be very versatile and adapt to the circumstances. Each Virgo and Pisces are consultants at this.
Virgo is an knowledgeable in bringing magic into our on a regular basis lives. Give her essentially the most advanced downside and Virgo will remedy it.
Pisces is the place magic occurs in greater realms. Pisces doesn’t search for solutions within the mundane world. Pisces lets issues go. It surrenders. It prays. And once we open ourselves to greater potentialities, magic occurs. After we cease resisting, issues simply fall into place.
Venus In Virgo Transit – October 9 – November 8, 2023

Later this month, Venus trines Jupiter in Taurus on October 22. Within the Cinderella story, it is when the Fairy Godmother helps her go to the ball.
In direction of the tip of the month, ‘shy’ Venus i Virgo goes wild when she trines Uranus in Taurus, The thirty first of October. That is some Halloween transit!

Venus trine Uranus is sort of a transit as a result of Venus kinds a magical facet sample known as “dragon”. Venus can be a part of an Earth Grand Trine with Uranus and Pluto.
This transit is very useful for sensible issues, funds, but additionally for sensuous and sensuous experiences resembling high quality eating or high quality time with family members.
Venus shall be completely improbable on the finish of the month!
And the start of November, across the 4th of November, in direction of the tip of her keep in Virgo, Venus opposes Neptune in Pisces.
Is that this fortunately ever after? Journey leaves issues open. We do not truly know if Cinderella and the prince bought collectively and had a contented marriage.
