….For the remainder of Venus in Capricorn:
I chose the Venus De Milo as an archetypal representation for this energy as classical art is quintessential Venus in Capricorn – especially a true masterwork such as this sculptured out of pure, rock-solid, Capricorn-approved marble that provides an enduring symbol of beauty through the ages. It might be worth investigating our visceral response to this image in the wake of its repeated conjunctions to Pluto…Does the resultant “wear and tear” of surviving through thousands of years – minus two broken arms – detract from her appearance and value? Or is she a symbol of loveliness in her current state nonetheless – the hardship, time, and scars only transforming her beauty into something supernatural? The slow state of deterioration adding a certain je ne sais quoi that cannot be replicated……
One might ponder if it is the act of restoring such a masterpiece that profanes and defiles. This brings to mind the concept of wabi-sabi….
I wonder if perhaps we find it easier to accept her as-is because we have not known her any other way. Having no firsthand knowledge of her “before” state, we have nothing to subjectively compare her to. This is where Venus in Capricorn excels – by setting a standard for beauty rather than caving to crumbling self-esteem and the fear that her realness isn’t “good enough”……
