These days are feeling a little rough with anxiety and worry, but there is always hope. In Eastern traditions we are her to evolve toward the truth and perfection that is our real nature. Suffering in life is a wake up call that we were not paying enough attention to that truthful nature, instead we were falsely following some idea outside of us that we thought would "make us happy", rather than "show us truth".
In Many ways we are either pursuing happiness (for our smaller selves) or Truth (for our Higher Self). These things are not mutually exclusive, necessarily - but sometimes they are. Things we pursue that we hope to make us happy (Venus) may take us away from the things that bring Wisdom (Jupiter) or Peace (the Moon). Yet, happiness is vital as it shows us the bliss of life that is also at the center of your being. Currently with Venus exalted in Pisces there is a lot of potential for love and relationship happiness, but it is also very possible that a relationship has ended and / or you or others are assessing how valued you feel and how and how respected you feel. If those things are not in synch a relationship might end. It is not unusual now for couples to need a little time away for themselves. Especially until March 7 when Mars leaves Capricorn.
Right now it is definitely possible that people are not feeling as respected as they would like in their relationship and they are ready to fight and makes changes. If that is happening with you, take that time to be creative and look into your self and realize that you are a lot more than any relationship, and if the joy of life for you is tied to the notion of "having someone" even if you get them you may put too much pressure on that, etc. I have seen that most of our unrealistic projections (and consequently deepest disappointments) come in relationships. Placing so much of our personal happiness on the whims of another autonomous, free being not only objectifies them, it debases our freedom and the deeper concepts of love. This debasing is the real suffering of clovers, the fall from grace from the purity of love's beginning to what it becomes one our ego's get involved. But even if that has recently happened to you, there is no need to wallow. Pick yourself up and get going again. Open your heart to the truest of love - the purity of divine love, that is not personal or about you.. but for all of creation and the mystery of life itself. This exalted Venus holds that promise like no other.
