I have Venus in Capricorn ( book worm/ nerd) opposite my
moon in Cancer(home is where the heart is), which is conjunct Saturn; what a
mess. So when female clients tell me about jealous/ envious women, I can
definitely relate. Moon opposite Venus is one of the worst aspects for
attracting envy, and with my Scorpio Sun and Mercury, it is a constant
issue in my life. If there is a woman anywhere in my vicinity with any self-doubt
or weakness even if it has nothing to do with anything I have, she will become my enemy, either publicly or
secretly (12th house).(Not all women are jealous, and those women
tend to be friends or at least people that I truly respect). This makes
neighborhood barbecues, PTA meeting, and even going to the hair salon a
breeding ground for the green-eyed monster. I don’t know why, I don’t have
anything special and tend to spend my time alone in order to avoid this energy.
It’s not about me, personally, my elements are like hot wet, heat that act as a
poultice to pull this out of women with issues of insecurity. With Saturn in
Cancer, another horrible aspect, I have no real support system, the women
closest to me,”mother figures” have been the ones who try to hurt me but also
want me close to them so they can control, especially when it comes to family,
so the only thing I envy of others is their relationships to mothers, sisters, friends,
etc.
Saturn in Cancer also
brings issues with “older people”, and down here in the south that means if
someone was born 6 hours before you, they consider themselves your elder! If I do
reach out and try to interact and relate, I get pummeled with secret gossip and
women trying to destroy what I have, even if they don’t want what I have. They
become fixated on me, and when I overhear them or they are confronted by those
who would defend me or try to understand their craziness, they say things like “it’s
not fair” or “I am better than she is, so I deserve more”. They already have
more! No matter how childish and awful their emotions lead them to be, they
have women who love them and will stand by them.
These issues become
more difficult with my Mars in Aries (I have earned my nickname, Warchild). It
is my nature to meet enemies or anyone trying to hurt me or mine head on and to
use my sharp Scorpion tongue to take them apart. I am only protecting and
defending myself, but others who do not understand see this reaction and think I
am a monster, but all of that heavy energy and the problems it cause me leave me
with my back against the wall. That is the worst place ever to be, facing a
Scorpion with nowhere to go and nothing left to lose. I usually just try to be
invisible, but that doesn’t usually work for me no matter how hard I try. I
would rather use this energy to fight real evil, like bullies who hurt those
who cannot help themselves, i.e., children, animals, the disadvantaged.
These trials and tests mean something karmic, but one thing I
know for sure is that it has made me a better astrologer and counselor. I don’t
get invited to a lot of dinner parties, unless it involves “enlightened” women,
( I rarely have issues with men, and get along with them quite well), but when
anyone has a life or death issue or needs to see beyond social boundaries, I am
the first one they call. It is often shocking that a woman who tries to keep me
out of her social or professional circle will come to me for advice. I then,
have to be extra patient and enlightened and put my feelings and grudges (not
easy for a Scorpion) aside to do my best to help them. So, at least the
situation is not hopeless and it can turn around for the better, though it is
incredibly hurtful and difficult at times.
One thing is for sure, I must have
been a real bitch in my last incarnation to have these configurations and need to learn from them!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this post!! There is not a lot of real info on how a Moon/Venus opposition plays out.
ReplyDeleteI have a 12th house Moon in Leo opposing a 6th house Venus in Aquarius. Yep, everything you said...I know exactly what you mean.
