We have a Venus Jupiter conjunction, one of the most beautiful astronomical events, happening from November 15th to November 30th and it peaks on the 27th and 28th. This overlaps with Thanksgiving here in the United States, and its a perfect alignment for a celebration of gratitude and generosity, and also for enjoying an extra serving (or two) of dessert. This is such a beautiful alignment to observe, so be sure to get out in the evening at sunset and look towards the western horizon to see the two brightest planets embracing in the twilight. On the 27-28 you will also see a beautiful sliver of a crescent moon joining Venus and Jupiter to form one of the most striking displays of nature that can be observed.
Venus calls us towards love and pleasure and art and music. She moves us towards sweetness and friendship and the sensual joys of human intimacy (with self and others). She is the experience of the opening heart chakra and the force of kindness and selfless loving actions. So this Jupiter-Venus conjunction is a great time to be more generous with our kind messages and compliments towards those we love and also towards the new relationships that often form at the beginning of a new cycle of time such as this.

Venus calls us towards love and pleasure and art and music. She moves us towards sweetness and friendship and the sensual joys of human intimacy (with self and others). She is the experience of the opening heart chakra and the force of kindness and selfless loving actions. So this Jupiter-Venus conjunction is a great time to be more generous with our kind messages and compliments towards those we love and also towards the new relationships that often form at the beginning of a new cycle of time such as this.
Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, is a force of expansion and it magnifies whatever it touches. It also represents joy and humor and brings a smile to our face. When Jupiter and Venus come together in the sky approximately once per year (the next conjunction will happen in February 2021) there is an opportunity to let our heart get bigger and to surrender to the healing force that can transform loneliness and a wounded heart into feelings of gratitude and joy.
It is a time to broaden our horizons when it comes to love and pleasure, a time to reach out to loved ones, and to open to new experiences of intimacy beyond our typical relational patterns. It is an opportunity for forgiveness and humor to redeem any losses of love and a chance to alleviate hurt feelings. If we are looking for love, this is one of the best alignments for dating, and often there can be a feeling of good fortune and grace with the experiences of intimacy that we find during these times.
So this is a great opportunity to stretch beyond our fears and let more love into our lives. This can be a chance to begin a new cycle in our patterns of relationship, and to move onto new timelines that come when we let our hearts grow a little larger, one day at a time. We should also be on the lookout for ways to expand the presence of art and music in our lives and to ride the waves of joy that can come just from going out dancing or to hear live music with a beloved friend or partner.
Jupiter has to do with travel, and so when it aligns with Venus I sometimes speak of it as the “Paris weekend archetype.” It can bring a form of “vacation consciousness” where we remember how healing devoted time for pleasure and relaxation can be, especially when extended over a period of days or weeks. If you happen to be on vacation during these dates, look for especially healing experiences, and if you have the means to be spontaneous, please consider taking some extra days off to travel to the places that you find the most beautiful and joyful.
The best way to align with a new cycle of time is to relax and let ourselves be pulled in new directions, pulled towards new settings and experiences that naturally are orchestrated on the level of consciousness itself. The planets are the most massive expressions of consciousness that can be experienced through the intimacy of sight, and so I feel that the actual observation of the planets, when possible, is the best way to receive their guidance. I suggest that we find a place to observe this alignment and pray to the planets for support. Let the photons from Venus and Jupiter penetrate our bodies and guide us towards more more joy and love in our lives.
The planets are massive expressions of intelligence and it is my experience that they wish to grow their relational intimacy with each of us. They wish to form loving relationships with us and they want to send us loving messages of guidance. So I hope we will get outside and commune with the night sky over the next couple of weeks to receive their love.
