Planetary Remediation - Venus
When Venus is healthy, you naturally gravitate toward and attract people and experiences which are easy to enjoy, and have an easy time focusing on the positive elements of any person or situation. You find it easy to see the beauty in your environment, in others and in yourself and are skilled at finding ways to cultivate beauty and joy in your life. People tend to enjoy your company and you likewise enjoy the company of others, not because you are universally charming and appealing to everyone (though Venus can help with that), but because you attract and are attracted to compatible people. Wealth and abundance flows naturally in and through your life, without you becoming overly attached to money or the things it can buy. Romantic relationships are generally stable and fulfilling. You are able to address and work through conflict as it arises, as well as amicably end relationships when it is time to go your separate ways. You laugh easily and often, but not at the expense of others.
Planetary Remediation - Mercury
When Mercury is functioning optimally thoughts are communicated easily and clearly to others. The mind is organized and there is both willingness and strong capacity for thinking things through with consistent, logical thought processes. There is little difficulty in making one’s self understood and understanding others, as thoughts and words that match connect and flow in an uninterrupted stream. Communication can be easily adapted to fit a wide spectrum of contexts and it is relatively easy to become fluent in multiple languages. Hand-eye coordinating is sufficient to suit the tasks which the individual partakes in.
Planetary Remediation - The Sun
When the Sun is healthy, you bring yourself to situations with authenticity and confidence. You have no need to hide anything because you know and accept yourself for both your strengths and shortcomings. When you perform, you bring your whole self to the task at hand and are open to receiving feedback - positive or negative. You share your opinions openly without the need for others to agree or to change their mind. You’re also able to make sound decisions and act on them with follow-through.
Planetary Remediation - The Moon
When the Moon is doing well, you are aware of the signals your body gives you and you are willing and able to respond accordingly. You get proper sleep, you eat nourishing meals when you are hungry, when you feel sad you cry and when you feel affection toward someone you give them a hug. You’re also appropriately tuned to the emotional and physical needs of others. By appropriately, I mean you respond to the needs of, say, your 5-year-old child differently than you do those of your cousin’s real estate agent.
