Navigating the social terrain can seem so treacherous these days. You never know what misplaced personal pronoun, assumption of privilege, or unexpected emotional trigger might set off an explosive response. Yet what’s going on isn’t as fragmented and hostile as it appears. In some ways it’s analogous to the birth of chivalry all those centuries ago that introduced a newfound respect for people who were once treated disrespectfully. Venus has always been a planet of etiquette – a planet devoted to seeing the me in you and the we in the other. It’s hard learning to speak to people in ways we’re not accustomed to speaking to them but that’s what good manners is all about. To address people in the way that they choose to be addressed and to recognize them as equals even though we’re strangers. Venus conjunct Uranus gets us to revolutionize our conventional way of interacting and what could be more radical than being polite? Signs most affected: Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Libra, Capricorn, and Aquarius
