This week, Venus enters Pisces.
*
Venus is the planet of love, art, poetry, music, beauty, pleasure and money, what we like and what we cherish. It enters watery Pisces, the sign of the incurable optimist, the dreamer, the poet on Jan. 26, and it will stay here until February 20, 2023.

As Café Astrology says, “Pisces never sees the world in black-and-white terms. Rather, Pisces sees all the colors of the rainbow. With the goddess of love in Pisces, our love is all-embracing, we are able to forgive and understand, we are seducible and seductive, and we show compassion to our partners.
*
Venus in Pisces is tender and affectionate, although hard to reach, as there is a longing for something that is difficult to define and hard to satisfy. Borders and boundaries blur under Venus in Pisces. The shadow side of this position is allowing ourselves to be deceived because we want to believe, as well as evasiveness. We should watch for falling in love with an idealized image of something or someone. It’s also important to watch for avoidant or indirect behavior.”

What does Venus in Pisces want us to know for our highest good? From Colette Baron-Reid’s Wisdom of the Oracle card deck, we are gifted with 17- The Fates .
The Serenity Prayer sums up the meaning of this card. "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."
*
Though Pisces sees all the colors of the rainbow, we are being invited to see things with eyes wide open and an open heart, and though our love may be all-embracing, we need to remember that we cannot change others. We must accept them and love them as they are.
*
The wisdom of the Serenity Prayer! "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference." One of my favourite prayers, and one that I would pray when I was feeling stressed, particularly at work or with other people. Surrender. Acceptance. Trust in my Higher Power.
*
And then one time when I was praying this prayer, it dawned on me..."things"!!! Not "people". To accept the "things" I cannot change, courage to change the "things" that I can and wisdom to know the difference. I was coming to learn that I cannot change "people", no matter how much I may try or how much I may want to.
*
My lesson was to learn to accept others and love them exactly as they are. No matter how difficult that may be. And to learn to love and accept myself exactly as I am, no matter the parts of me that I may not like or want to change or wish I could get rid of. Anger and self-hatred were big ones for me at one time. I thought I had to get rid of them. I learned that they were an important part of myself that I needed to accept and listen to, for they had invaluable lessons to teach me. I needed to learn to love and accept myself exactly as I am, and to give the same gift to others, no matter who they were. Definitely not an easy thing to do! I learned that the thing that I may not like in another person is actually what I did not like within myself. That other person can become the gift that teaches me the way that I don't want to be, calling me to be the change that I want to see in the world.
*
And that is where the treasure lies...gratitude, acceptance, willingness, surrender...to take a step back, become the Observer, listen with our heart and soul, see the Creator's beauty in all, for we are all beloved, precious and adored beyond measure. We can be the change we want to see in the world. (Mahatma Gandhi quote paraphrased) That is where our true treasure lies...discovering the treasure within. Namaste!
