VIRGO 24 AUG - 23 SEP
As Venus leaves your sign and moves into your money zone, you may become aware of luxuries you’re missing out on. You’ll be keen to make up for this by shopping for something that hits that sweet spot. A wander around your local vintage store or a special night out with a friend can recharge you.
LIBRA 24 SEP - 23 OCT
Your sign is emphasised as Venus, your guiding planet, returns home. Your ability to negotiate and your sensitivity to others may be enhanced. You can be a great listener, but there are times when it’s better to put your point across rather than try to fit in with others.
SCORPIO 24 OCT - 22 NOV
Need to clear up any recent tensions hanging over you? Today’s focus on a more psychological area encourages you to delve deep. If you have a chance to talk things over, this may help unravel an issue that’s been a sticking point for some while.
SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV - 21 DEC
The desire to reach out can become stronger than usual, with the coming weeks an opportunity to connect with other like-minded people. Whether online or off, the ties you make could be crucial to your plans but can also encourage new friendships.
CAPRICORN 22 DEC - 20 JAN
As the svelte energies of Venus sashay into your sector of ambition and responsibility, your appearance can count for a lot. Dressing to impress can be an excellent way to create a more dynamic impact, one that enables you to impress a new client or employer.
AQUARIUS 21 JAN - 19 FEB
Looking for something new? As Venus dances into Libra and lights up your adventure sector, you’ll be open to new experiences. Your tastes can be enriched, so if there’s a fabulous getaway offer showing up, you’ll be keen to give it a go.
PISCES 20 FEB - 20 MAR
Conversations could get right to the point, and even though this may be uncomfortable, it has the potential to heal difficult situations. Your desires might also be stronger than usual and perhaps compelling, making it difficult to resist certain temptations.
ARIES 21 MAR - 20 APR
Lovely Venus moves into Libra from now, beaming positive energy into your relationships. The coming weeks are perfect for ironing out misunderstandings, making new connections and enhancing any involvements. This influence can also help with dating and with making friends.
TAURUS 21 APR - 21 MAY
Too busy for your own good? If so, you may be ready to run your day in a way that’s productive without being unbalancing. As Venus enters your lifestyle zone, you may feel like taking things easy and jettisoning anything that’s too much like hard work.
GEMINI 22 MAY - 21 JUN
Venus glides into Libra, which can ramp up the desire for romance and for connections with like-minded people. This can be a great opportunity for socialising and enjoying life. This is one of the better times to express yourself.
CANCER 22 JUN - 23 JUL
With Venus entering Libra, you’ll be keen to create an even cosier dwelling. This influence fosters building bridges with family members. You might feel a strong urge to invest your hard-earned money or make improvements to your home.
LEO 24 JUL - 23 AUG
Negotiations will be smoother as gorgeous Venus moves into Libra and your sector of communication, bringing out your natural charm. It’s perfect for networking with others on your wavelength, but it’s also excellent for talking over issues.
