Try and fail

Careful what you wish for, because you just might get it. I’m sure that’s a phrase you’re familiar with. This week, agreeable Venus shifts signs from where she’s strong, stable and secure to where she’s adaptable, curious and more easily influenced. Sure, the social mood may become lighter and more fluid, but are you actually thinking about the things you want or just going with the flow?

You see, Venus is an influential star in 2023 as she’ll be retrograde in the Northern Hemisphere Summer. Thus, your “why not?” attitude now could soon become a question of “why did I?” 

Also this week, the annual meeting of the Sun and Jupiter signifies a new cycle of faith, optimism and possibility. 

This may also remind you that more often than not, you have to move beyond the above mentioned stable and secure into a state of “why not?” for anything to actually happen! In Aries, the sign associated with the initial spark, you’re encouraged to follow your instincts, even if you do not know where the path will lead. Follow your faith, even if you wonder whether it’s working. Follow the way forward, even if you’re doubtful of its outcome. Better to have tried and failed than to have never tried at all.

“How much longer until we get to where you are taking me?” I hear the voice reach out from behind me. We’d been skinning (or climbing uphill with our skis on) for about an hour when my ski sister finally decided to ask where we were going. We had started with some work road and…
