Episode 25: Four of Wands

With the 4 of Wands we arrive at the final Aries card of three: from the ruthless drive of Dominion to the forthright rulership of Virtue to this, the sweet respite of Completion.  Here Lady Venus (the Empress) reposes in her guest wing at the House of Aries (the Emperor), which is ruled over by her consort Mars.  It is not her favorite house, but you can't deny there is a certain . . . chemistry at work on the premises. We explore themes of completion, safe havens, the natural world in harmony with the built world, the ecstatic union of male and female, the closing degrees of a sign, and the curious dynamic at work when a benefic (Venus) find herself in the sign of a malefic (Mars).
