Div­ing deeply into val­ues is called for today. Supe­ri­or insight about the true nature of love is avail­able to you when you move beyond appear­ances and dis­cov­er what is most heart­felt in rela­tion­ship. With Venus rul­ing val­ues, and Plu­to rul­ing the will-pow­er, this align­ment is all about love and control.

When you val­ue your­self, when you tru­ly love your­self, then and only then do you have the capac­i­ty for self-con­trol. And it is that cen­ter­ing of will that makes it pos­si­ble for you to give your­self will­ing­ly to anoth­er. You can take that step into the space of vul­ner­a­bil­i­ty, the space that is the meet­ing ground of two hearts, because you have found the love with­in and the will to make a choice.

But the greater mys­tery here is that is only through rela­tion­ship, only when you come togeth­er with anoth­er, can you pen­e­trate beyond the illu­sion­ary self and dis­cov­er your truer self. Because in order to come togeth­er, when we meet one anoth­er in that cru­cible that is rela­tion­ship, we each must sac­ri­fice and sur­ren­der the less­er val­ues between us. We affirm to one anoth­er what we tru­ly share; we re-dis­cov­er and strength­en our greater val­ues which form the true song and sub­stance of our love.

The mys­tery of Venus and Plu­to is that by join­ing with anoth­er more deeply, you end up com­ing clos­er to your own true self. You sur­ren­der your less­er self so that you may meet your high­er self, who is revealed to you by the smile in your lover’s eyes.

So, today, go deep and give your­self to love and find your­self and your love in one another.
