Lady Luck may have left the building, but your chances of getting lucky are still pretty good. Friday the 13th is approaching, and while it may bring a sense of unease, it also presents an unexpectedly delightful astrological transit that is worth exploring. The long-standing association of Friday the 13th with bad luck dates back centuries to Nordic folklore, where the trickster god Loki orchestrated the death of Balder the Beautiful, cementing the bad vibes of the number thirteen.
In Christianity, Friday the 13th is also regarded with dread due to events such as Judas betraying Jesus at the Last Supper and Jesus being crucified on a Friday. The day also marks other significant events in the Bible such as Cain killing Abel and Eve giving Adam the apple of knowledge. Throughout history, Friday the 13th has seen various tragic events that have further fueled its reputation, leading to the creation of terms to describe the fear associated with this date.
In astrology, Friday belongs to Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and attraction. This year, Venus will be in its home turf of Libra on Friday the 13th, amplifying the energy of love, beauty, and attraction. Additionally, Venus will be conjunct with Black Moon Lilith, representing our wild selves, taboo desires, and primal urges. During this conjunction, exploration, and expression are encouraged, making it an excellent time for self-discovery and embracing your true desires.
The blend of Venus and Black Moon Lilith on Friday the 13th offers an opportunity to be fully present for physical pleasure and embrace your hidden desires and power. Honoring this transit through exploration, self-expression, and pleasure can lead to a deeper connection with yourself and others. Embracing the energy of this transit can also prepare you for future cosmic events, such as an upcoming eclipse, that focus on release and transformation.
