Venus in Capricorn + Mercury In Scorpio- Nov 5th 2021

On November 5th, we had two major planets move into new signs! As such, you may have noticed a shift in energy in the way you or others show love + communicate! This is because Venus, the planet of love, moved from the fiery + adventurous sign of Sagittarius into practical and Earthy Capricorn and Mercury, the planet of communication, moved from harmonious + balanced air sign of Libra into the passionate, deep, watery sign of Scorpio.

When Venus is in the Earthly sign of Capricorn, we can expect love to be more balanced, up front, and analyzed. As a sign that prizes longevity, and creations that come from hard work and discipline, relationships will be highly looked at in relation to how much it supports you and you will find yourself asking: Does this relationship align with my future endeavors and goals? Does this relationship help me better my relationship with self and others? What do I want my relationships to look like and feel like? How can I help shift or transmute my energy to better serve my relationships?

These questions will arise because Capricorn energy is often associated with the word “serious” which means being up front about what you expect from a relationship and how to best nurture or create the ones you want!

Another word highly associated with Capricorn energy to keep in mind during this time are “ambition or determination”. During this time, people will be putting in their all when it comes to love. What they see, believe in and feel to be true, will be matched by their actions that they take to manifest and create their vision or desires, into life!

With that, I hope you take this time (Nov 5th, 2021- March 6th, 2022) to get clear on what relationships mean to you, how your relationships (both platonic, career or personal) are going, and how you can best let go of or align to energies and relationships that support you and where you see yourself going!

With Mercury the planet of communication being in the sign of Scorpio (Nov 5th-Nov 24th) we may find ourselves being more patient, psychic, inquisitive, or intense in our communication with others. Since Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, the planet that oversees death, transformation, taboo, or anything dark or secret, we may find ourselves more likely to talk or share about these topics.

​After all, Scorpio recognizes that how one sees one’s darkness, can tell you a lot about a person’s light.
During this time, we may find our conversations to be more meaningful and deep (Scorpio is a water sign) and they are unafraid to dive deep into their darker or more unknown waters! However, one thing to be aware of with Scoprio being a water sign, is to not allow the darkness to consume you and your light, and to step back from emotions that may also sometimes cloud your clarity! Keeping this in mind will keep paranoia, fears or worst case scenario thinking at bay! While it is okay to feel it, remember you also have the power to gain control, transmute energy, and choose how you would like to feel, speak up or be!

Finally, with Scoprio being a sign that has strong themes of transformation, important questions to ask yourself during this time are: How can I better show up in my communication towards myself or others? What can I transmute, change, or let go of? What parts of myself do I hide from others? Why do I do this? How can I speak more kindly to others, or even myself?

With a heart full of love, Elysian on Earth
