I have an extreme longing for God. Or whatever you want to call IT.
I’m Jewish but when I was a kid I bemoaned the fact that Jews didn’t have convents (there’s a joke in there somewhere).
I didn’t consider converting but began to collect rosaries. Oy. What did my mother think. (I think she ignored it actually). At least I didn’t disobey her and get a nose ring (this was the ’80s. Facial jewelry = not so common then).
Some chart stats: I have Venus in the 12th House. Venus square Neptune. North Node in Pisces in my 6th House of daily routines but conjunct my 7th House cusp. All these placements have Neptune in common.
Longing. Devotion. Holy desire.
Holy desire for something I cannot touch. Long distance relationships slay me. You can imagine.
And I have a hard time putting the feeling into just the right words but I know it when I feel it and I felt it this morning on the treadmill! One of the songs I was listening to (Venus Neptune people are sensitive to music by the way) brought it out in me.
And then there’s old trusty Saturn in my 9th House, limiting what I feel is possible. The plot thickens. Saturn squares my Venus.
Belief vs. faith. Practical vs. mystical. Earth vs. sky.
In a partner, I need someone to inspire me. Their story must inspire me. Saturn wants it solid but Neptune wants to get lost.
What to do what to do what to do…

Review where transiting Venus is in your chart. Is Gemini friendly to your junk? Venus in Gemini gives me a sextile to my natal Venus, squares my Virgo (eek!) but trines my Libra Jupiter (ahhhh..) In other words, party favors!
In the sky, Venus is trine Saturn so PLEASE check your chart! Aquarians are getting a Grand Trine but all Air and Fire peeps can tap into this steady lurv energy.
What do you long for???

Hi, everyone.
I intended to write on this blog for some time, due to the similarity I noticed between my chart and moonpluto’s. For example, I also have Sun, Mercury, Mars in Cancer, Venus in the 12th, some Venus-Saturn interaction (an opposition) and some Venus Neptune interaction (a mutual reception between Venus in the 12th and Neptune in the 7th).
As an astrologer, I’m sure you’ve seen many charts that resembled yours, but for me, it was something special when I discovered your blog and delighted in your posts because I have found some parts of me in there.
To get back to the question, I, too, as a Venus in the 12th house, long for something transcendental, something that would put everything into perspective. And it has to be something I can feel, something tangible. It’s not enough if I read about it and just think about it.
Greetings hethera! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Transiting Venus & Saturn- I desire authentic, lasting, true friendships/relationships. Venus in Gemini will trine my natal Saturn (7th) & Venus now and this summer, while Saturn in Libra goes over my Venus & Jupiter in the 3rd. I sense deeply what this is about, but I’m not able to articulate it right now….I know it’s a lot of the past (retrograde) and foundation for the future…
Hmmm. Maybe meaningful, extraordinary connections. Natal Venus is on my descendant (but she’s technically in my 6th house) conjunct mercury and saturn (widely). She’s also squared by Pluto (not widely), sextile mars and trine Uranus (which is conjunct my MC). Not a straightforward gal. I think this stuff is much more complex than it seems at first. I know what’s generally said about certain planets & aspects but I think Saturn is “friendly-ish” in my chart. I’m used to the energy which maybe makes it feel less harsh now that I’m older. I also feel like Uranus almost always works in my favor (secretly convinced this is because it’s exactly conjunct spica natally). And Pluto – is just like they say 😉 but the natal contact seems to make “liberation from bullshit no matter the cost” seem perfectly reasonable. It’s hard when you haven’t yet realized things need to go but you figure it out, eventually. There’s a lot that isn’t what it seems. Like a 9th house moon that’s also an 8th house moon and feels like both. I learned this stuff from you and these blog posts and it helps me make sense of myself and not be a victim of behavior I don’t understand and can’t explain (if I’m even aware of it). Definitely oracular – is that a real word?
Well you are Cap Rising. Saturn is YOU and in you.
Transiting Venus in my 12th square my natal Venus in Virgo. I long to merge with another but fear it too (natal Venus conjunct Saturn) 🙁
I long for a man named Thomas who is a Gemini, and by the way Thomas means twin.
