#self loyalty

this post focuses on the connection between your venus placement and the heart chakra, specifically for those who feel their relationships are blocked or repetitive.

the heart chakra and venus: dismantling the walls around your value.

the heart chakra (anahata) is the center of love, compassion, and the delicate balance of reciprocity. in astrology, this center is governed by venus. it dictates our aesthetic sensibilities, our perception of self-worth, and the fundamental way we form bonds with the world.

if your venus is in aries, scorpio, or virgo, or if you have harsh aspects to your venus, your sense of value is often filtered through lenses of struggle, crisis, or perfectionism.

venus in aries or scorpio (detriment) love may manifest as a field of conquest or a focal point for intense crisis. the heart chakra may operate in an "all or nothing" tension; you may over-protect your heart to avoid the vulnerability of being hurt.

venus in virgo (fall): the need to be "perfect" in order to be loved can build invisible walls around the heart. because you may focus on analyzing love rather than feeling it, a sense of energetic "dryness" can develop within the heart center.

the somatic shift: you do not have to "do" anything to be loved.

to heal the heart, you must move from defensive walls into beautiful reciprocity through the rhythm of your own body.

cobra pose (bhujangasana): a somatic reminder that you are valuable simply as you are. feel the soft expansion within your chest. camel pose (ustrasana): a deep posture of surrender designed to dismantle the "i must be perfect" barriers. rose quartz: the frequency anchor for self-worth and unconditional love. it helps soften the sharp arrows of self-criticism. the beauty of being human.

healing begins when you realize that your body is not a machine to be managed, but a sacred vessel to be listened to. engage in actions not because they are "functional," but solely because they provide aesthetic pleasure. buy the flowers. touch the fabrics. wear the fragrance. consciously indulging your senses revitalizes the venusian frequency of "i am worthy."

I haven’t forgotten you. The promise I made to start again, to treat myself better, to stop settling for less than I deserve. I know I’ve broken you a few times. I said I’d rest but kept pushing. I said I’d walk away but stayed. I said I’d choose you but kept putting everything else first.

☔️I know Venus is a planet associated with potential glow ups but having your sun in the 1st house in a solar return chart can also mean a major glow up as well!

☔️Moon in the 8th is similar to a Scorpio Moon in that emotional security and expression is deeply private and intimate for that person; they aren’t one to reveal their cards to you until they trust you fully to see that side of them. Having your moon in the 8th can also be an indicator of your mother figure passing at a young age too.

☔️Lilith in the 6th house could indicate issues with people in your place of work. You could easily make enemies out of the people you work with so be careful with who you trust in this area of your life if you have this placement. Especially women with this placement. Since Lilith is the dark feminine, this placement indicates issues with men and feminine rebellion in the workplace.

☔️Venus in the 11th house is the perfect friends to lovers placement. You could be friends with your partner first before dating them!

☔️Pisces risings are probably seen as the type of of person who can easily adapt to any and every social setting and environment. Similar to Gemini risings, but instead of the adaptations being solely to connect for information, it’s to intuit the emotional currents of the room and settings.

☔️Taurus in the 6th house shows emphasis on a love for self care routines in general. This is a house that I believe Taurus fares really well in! I can personally attest to this as someone with Taurus in the 6th house. You may have a solid skin care routine and love taking that time to truly pamper yourself. Long baths, facials and pedicures are a body love language for you. They definitely are for me! Feeling good pampered and healthy are important for you! A healthy work life balance will be very crucial for you.

☔️Those of you with heavy Virgo placements in your chart may benefit from journaling and writing your feelings down! It’ll help you process things since Mercury is very strong in your chart and Mercury rules all forms of communication; oral and written. I’ve noticed those with Virgo placements love lists of all kinds and writing helps them sort out their inner world a lot!

Until next time! 👽🖖🏼
