VENUS ENTERS ARIES Venus, the planet of values (what WE value and desire), love and finances, enters the sign of Aries on 7 March. In Aries, Venus is in her mythical lover’s daytime den (her night cave is in Scorpio, the other Mars’ ruled sign). Venus in Aries is full of bravado, actually, she always gets what she wants in any sign, but she’s more open and adventurous in Aries, sexual, but perhaps not sensuous, and certainly not “comfy” here. Aries and Scorpio are in fact the signs where Venus is in her detriment, where she is at least at ease in her surroundings. So, [...]
VENUS ENTERS PISCES In love with love Venus, the planet of love, romance, harmony and values, glides into the sign of Pisces, the sign of its exaltation, ruled by Jupiter (traditional) and Neptune (modern). So we may be lost in a realm of fantasy, washed over by feelings of love and happiness, dreaming of a lottery win, happy in the company of all and capable of seducing all, not really in tune with reality and with our thoughts tending towards muddled and fuzzy with Venus conjoining a newly retrograde Mercury at 22°15’ Pisces at the end of February. Venus will make these [...]
VENUS ENTERS AQUARIUS The first of three personal planets to enter Aquarius over the next week. After a spell in serious, practical Capricorn, Venus enters the cool, collected and independent sign of Aquarius. In this sign Venus wants the liberty to come and go as it pleases but this doesn’t necessarily mean unfaithfulness, just that equal rights and a seemingly no-strings-attached attitude need to be maintained for relationships to function. It’s the Venus placement par excellence for bed-buddies in a mix-and-match of friends becoming lovers and vice versa since Venus here is [...]
VENUS OOB ENTERS CAPRICORN ON 24 DECEMBER 2025 From frivolous and gaudy to self-possessed and distinct. Social propriety and etiquette, at least on a public level, mean a lot to this rather ambitious placement for Venus, less so perhaps in the bedroom, but that is a side that Venus Capricorn would prefer to keep private! Venus’s contours are finely chiselled and with a distinct “no frills attached” attitude in this serious sign. Ambition is often part of the picture too. Venus will remain OOB until 3 January, the wild-card effect could be quite marked during this festive season [...]
VENUS ENTERS SAGITTARIUS Fleeting love or loving too many? After little over twenty-days in Scorpio’s murky waters Venus now enters the more free-wheeling sign of Sagittarius. On 21 December Venus goes OOB – just in time for Christmas when flirting and innuendos may reach a completely new level! Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, and this rather over-optimistic planet might induce Venus to yearn ecstasy in some form, especially during the days when it will be in a square aspect to transiting Neptune in dreamy Pisces (23-24 December). Rules often also mean a lot to Venus in here, [...]
VENUS ENTERS SCORPIO Seductively passionate…. After a stay in flirtatious Libra, one of its home signs, Venus, the planet of values (what WE value and desire), love and finances, enters the “still waters run deep” sign of Scorpio on 6 November. In Scorpio, Venus is in her mythical lover’s den (the nighttime one the daytime one being in Aries). Venus in Scorpio can lend itself to uncanny ways of seduction with psychological abuse and mental cruelty not being unknown. On the other hand, it’s powerfully attractive and very passionate. Venus in Scorpio, as in Aries, is in her[...]
VENUS ENTERS LIBRA Needing to find a balance as we process the changes…. Venus enters one of its home signs and takes on a more rational but less practical stance in Airy Libra with peace and harmony being of utmost importance as it endeavours to keep an even keel (Taurus, its other home sign is a much more sensual placement). Some keywords for Libra might be: impartial, balanced, diplomatic, charming, tasteful, indecisive, flirtatious, peaceable and compromising. In Libra, Venus tends towards compromise and harmony in relationships, but it also has problems deciding who and [...]
VENUS ENTERS VIRGO Miss Modesty Venus in Virgo intellectualises love and intimacy and is also pretty good at maths when it comes to managing finances so keeping a check on over-spending could be a welcome (and necessary for some of us) break after the Leo extravagance. This rationalisation or intellectualisation of what we most treasure takes away something from our intrinsic affectional make-up thus making us appear “cold”, irritable and highly strung. Virgo needs to express love in a practical way so how about cooking something delicious for our loved ones or treating [...]
VENUS ENTERS LEO 25 August 2025 Venus, the planet of values, love, and finances, enters the sign of Leo. In Leo, Venus feels courted and pampered (after all Leo is the King and she is the Goddess!), she hates to be ignored and seeks attention, which isn’t difficult for her since she adds her own talents to Leo’s natural penchant for passion, generosity and warmth towards others. Venus rules the sign of Taurus (her more practical side involving finances and comforts in general) and Libra (love, harmony and relationships) so you should look not only to the house placement of natal [...]
VENUS ENTERS CANCER The caring partner or the stingy lover…from socialite to housewife The most motherly of signs welcomes the most loving of planets and it looks like we’re in for just over three weeks of tender, caring love or are we? One of the images of Venus in Cancer is certainly that of the romantic figure forever in love with Prince or Princess Charming. Venus, of course, doesn’t rule only love, it also covers, among many things, finances, self-esteem and all the things that gratify us. Venus responds to everything that makes us feel good, comfortable and happy. In [...]
