We always know if we are "on friendly terms" with Venus in our lives. If we are sharing a good relationship with her, we are enjoying the simple pleasures of life. When we are in tune with Venus energy, we spend time every day enjoying the beauty of the world, nature, art, music, poetry, dance and movement, justice and equality, love and receiving love in return, giving of ourselves and receiving the gifts of abundance in return.
Ask yourself if you are in sync with Venus. Is there someone who absolutely loves you, and whom you absolutely love (who cares for you as much as you care for them)? When you look at your bank account, is there a sufficient amount to pay all your bills for at least 6 months (should you decide that your life experience would benefit from a 6-month vacation to some beautiful spot on earth, and you choose not to work at all)?
If you cannot answer "yes", to the above questions, then some aspect of a positive Venus experience is lacking. She is drawing your attention to some part of your life and asking you to recognize her importance in that area of life.
Astrologically known as the planet of love and money, Venus generously offers two learning modalities; lack and abundance . . .
