The Alchemy of Venus and Mercury

The present sky shows a rare alignment of word and desire. Descending into the mutable earth of Virgo, Venus is embraced by Mercury, who also has just stepped into Libra. What seems a simple exchange of regencies reveals itself as a deeper alchemy. It is the figure of the Rebis, the androgynous child of Hermes and Aphrodite, where speech coils around longing and beauty wears the wings of reason.

Venus is currently in her fall, but this is a ritual descent, the kathodos of the goddess who strips herself before the temple of service. Virgo is a feminine and nocturnal sign and Venus herself is the benefic of the nocturnal sect, so there is sympathy between planet and sign despite the fall. By triplicity, Venus holds diurnal rulership over the earth signs, a paradox that adds tension, since her nocturnal essence moves through a domain that grants her dignity in the day. This refines her power rather than denying it.

Mercury has entered Libra, where he is peregrine, neiter its house nor his exaltation. And Mercury rules the triplicity of air at night. Although the planet has no fixed sect, being by nature ambivalent and psychopompic, he still takes the nocturnal share of air, which allows him to act with familiarity in Libra. It is the place of the scales, of judgement and proportion, and Mercury there becomes the tongue that weighs and measures with balance.

been searching about the theory that each sign has it's own planet/asteroid ruling it and it's so interesting

personally it never sat right with me that mars ruled scorpio at all, but eris AND pluto ruling scorpio makes sense

ceres goes to virgo for obvious reasons w merc. as a secondary ruler, making mercury the primary and only ruler of gemini

my only problem is with taurus / libra ☹ i would say vesta should go to taurus but i'm not sure if that's my vesta conjunct venus in taurus talking 😭

What do you think of people excluding Neptune as the ruler of Pisces and using Jupiter instead? I see a lot of astrologers on twitter doing this and I’m conflicted about it

I strongly prefer the traditional rulership system. The modern rulers disregard & interrupt the well-balanced ancient structure of the Zodiac, and rob the other planets of their multi-dimensional diurnal vs nocturnal nuance.

We simply don’t have a complete understanding of the outer planets yet. We have just barely seen a full revolution of Neptune through the Zodiac -- it made its first return to the position it was discovered at (25 degrees Aquarius) in 2010. We will only see Pluto’s first full revolution in the 2170s! If anyone believes we can completely come to know a planet after only seeing its expression through a small fraction of the ecliptic, they’re mistaken.

As a result of our limited knowledge of their true effects, modern astrologers have borrowed significations from Scorpio, Aquarius, and Pisces in order to give these planets a personality. Show me one single interpretation of Neptune’s energy that isn’t an over-ambiguous reframing of Pisces’ Zodiacal role. It’s the same with Uranus borrowing from Aquarius and Pluto borrowing from Scorpio. In attributing those traits to the signs and then to a different planet, they are removed from their origin, which is the traditional rulerships. Jupiter has a nebulous, mystical, spiritual energy, and indeed a feminine (Piscene) side. But when Neptune was forced into the traditional system, it stole those associations, and left Jupiter with half of its meaning and thus half of its worth.

The symmetry of the Zodiac is discarded with modern rulers. Compare the images below; notice the pattern of the chart on the left. It exists for a reason.

We should simply observe the outer planets as we learn about them and not try to stretch astrology’s traditional rules to include them. They do not fit, and we’re sabotaging their true potential roles with immature presumptions when we could instead continue to use the associations that have proven themselves accurate again and again for thousands of years.

Someone who is youthful behaves as if they are young or younger than they really are, vigorous, fresh, active, young looking. “Youth gets together with their materials to build a bridge to the moon or maybe a palace on earth; then in middle age they decide to build a woodshed with them instead.” “There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of the people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will have truly defeated age.” “Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind...” Fire element, Mercury, Venus, or Fifth house. Relevant/ Prominent Alguien que es juvenil/vivaz se comporta como si más joven de lo que realmente es, es vigoroso, fresco, activo, de aspecto joven. “Los jóvenes se unen con sus materiales para construir un puente a la luna o tal vez un palacio en la tierra; luego, en la mediana edad, deciden construir una leñera con ellos ". “Hay una fuente de juventud: es tu mente, tus talentos, la creatividad que traes a tu vida y la vida de las personas que amas. Cuando aprendes a aprovechar esta fuente, realmente habrás derrotado a la edad ". "La juventud no es un momento de la vida, es un estado de ánimo ..." Elemento fuego, Mercurio, Venus, o Quinta casa.

Aquarius & saturn - traditional astrological rulerships and their reasoning.

This is barely even the tip of the iceberg - but looking to our roots in traditional, hellenistic, and chaldean astrological practices is a valuable way to more thoroughly understand the symbolism of the cosmos!

I love your interpretations! What would you look for if someone asks about pets in their natal chart? As in having or will get a pet or just generally loves animals, what would you look for?

Lmao! I read the first half, & thought you were asking about your pet's chart lol - I was like not today satan.... *flashbacks* to when I tried to do my dog's chart... idk what I was thinking...  

The 6th house. Virgo's are amazing creatures, so humble & the house of Virgo is home to our dear pets. My family loves animals. They all have luminaries in the 6th & they're 6th house dominant. As for me all I can go on is the 6H ruler. It's in the 6th & I love pets.

So, first look at the 6H. What's in it? I wouldn't be worried about mars there. Mars is well placed in Virgo, naturally anyway. Then, look at the 6H ruler. *This is more revealing*. Obviously, ruler in the 6H/4H is best. 6H ruler making a lot of aspects, indicates that the elements of that house is prominent. Oh! & 6H ruler aspect to the ASC is very indicative of life long companionships with animals :) 😻🐈🐕
