Venus and Mercury are in Sagittarius as of last week. Today, Nov 23rd, we have a New Moon in Sag at the first degree. Itโ€™s a welcome warm reprieve given the banger of an eclipse season!

Venus is the symbol of what we aestheticize and romanticize, and the sign sheโ€™s in describes the character with which we do that. In Sagittarius, she is the clown who is a storyteller, a mentor through a life of hedonism, humor, and absolute absurdity. A Sagittarius who isnโ€™t thinking may be noncommittal and overindulgent, forever seeking a bigger truth without taking in the evidence as it comes; but a Sag thinking wisely knows that euphoric abundance is everywhere and the circus is within. Sagittarius is symbolized by the centaur, a liminal being, caught between the desire to be wild & untamed, and the desire to be a wise purveyor of knowledge. Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius, is the boisterous king with wisdom and youthful effervescence. The collage artist that takes from a wide range of influences. The aesthetics of a Sagittarius Venus works to build a world from a life philosophy, It transmutes distress into optimistic hilarity. Itโ€™s a FUNky WIGgle worM. Itโ€™s playing dress up, in drag. They have tons of knowledge of the original form, but blow it up for joyous, theatrical effect. Pop star, ringleader, cheerleader. Did you believe the freak show was a traveling cast of few? They will teach you that the whole spectrum of experience - people, places, animals, weather, dance, drugs, cakes, etc.- is copiously freaky, and life is a better party for it.

Hereโ€™s an assemblage of a Venus in Sag crew:

Having escaped Russian pogroms to America where he first bedazzled undergarments for showgirls under the name โ€œNudies for Ladiesโ€ in 1930โ€™s NYC & later his famous western suits in Hollywood, Nudie often wore different colored cowboy boots on each foot and put stickers of his face on $1 bills.
