LEO

An on the job reassessment is likely this week. Now you can either take this on the chin with good humour, able to see this new perspective or you can become belligerent and self-righteous through fear of losing face.

VIRGO

Your thoughts seem to be drawn back to the past as you withdraw, requiring the solitude that being alone gives. As Venus moves into your sign at the end of the week things change and company is actively sought.

LIBRA

Pluto’s relationship with Venus this week has intensified your emotions making it an ideal time to spend some meaningful time with a loved one. In or out of the bedroom things can heat up.

SCORPIO

The next few weeks has you impatient and restless. If you have felt that others have been holding you back then you are likely to break through of the restriction. If you have been striving for a new direction this will be liberating.

SAGITTARIUS

Discipline seems a little lax this week as you overextend yourself, making promises you can’t keep or just exaggerating or perhaps underestimating your capabilities, which just makes things more difficult and complicated.

CAPRICORN

With the planets of expansion and commitment in harmonious aspect this can only bode well for you. If you can handle making a few minor adjustments your patience and perseverance will pay off.

AQUARIUS

Make sure you think before you act this week as the pairing of Mars/Uranus has a tendency to make us suddenly act impulsively and this could create the likelihood of an accident.

PISCES

The actions of a loved one could upset the applecart this week and disrupt your life. Although it will not be easy this forces you to alter and change your plans. Much to your discomfort.

ARIES

Wow, that came out of left field. An explosion from a work collegue leaves you feeling rattled and out of sorts. Apparently this has been building for some time and I don’t think this person has your best interests at heart.

TAURUS

Venus moves into your 5th House of creativity, children, pleasure and speculation on Wednesday indicating that for the next three weeks personal fulfillment can be gained from finding a creative outlet.

GEMINI

Siblings could be on your mind lately or demanding quite a bit of your time and although you don’t really mind their attention seeking behaviour brings back memories you would rather forget.

CANCER

When the Moon, Mars and Uranus get together as they have been over the last few days anything can happen. You have probably been a bit volatile lately and may have over reacted to a situation.

The Astrological Venus

Astronomically Venus has an orbital period of 11-13 months going retrograde approximately every 19 months for approx. 20 days. Venus can never be more than 48 degrees away from the Sun or before or after.

The Astrological Sun offers us a sense of meaning to life and Venus helps the development of the Sun by placing a value on what it is we want for ourselves. Without a value on self we are unable to develop our Sun potential.

Venus and the Moon are the two complementary faces of the feminine and yet are psychological opposites. Whereas the Moon’s urge is to be part of a unity, to belong to someone- country, family, and children: the Astrological Venus is her own person. The Moon is naturally empathetic whereas Venus is not known for her compassion but symbolises a quality of self-love and self-value which can give to others but does not depend on others for a sense of self worth. Sometimes a connection between Moon and Venus indicates a jealousy or rivalry between mother and daughter.

The differing roles of the Moon and Venus can be seen in Moon/ Wife/Mother who stays at home looking after the children whilst Venus/Lover/Mistress provides aesthetic and erotic pleasures.

The shared meaning between the two Venus ruled signs of Taurus and Libra is for Libra a deep concern with the process of learning how to choose, and Taurus with developing inner strength and resources that can give value’s permanence and hang the consequences.

Venus represents – giving, sharing, compromise, beauty, love, comparison, art, taste, value, a young woman, how we give and receive affection and how we seek and attract others. Knowing what sign a persons Venus is in helps in choosing a suitable present, one they will love.
