VENUS ENTERS AQUARIUS 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 rather emotionally distant and has an attitude for open and unconventional [...]
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. In Scorpio, Venus is in her mythical lover’s den (one of them, the other 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 detriment where the [...]
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 Look at me, look at me! 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 [...]
VENUS AND MERCURY ENTER CANCER Less than three hours apart, first Venus and then Mercury enter the motherly sign of Cancer. Both planets are also OOB until 28-29 June. Venus in Cancer: the caring partner or the stingy lover? 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, [...]
VENUS ENTERS TAURUS I’m sexy and I know it… Venus the planet of love, comfort, finances and self-worth enters one of her home signs. Taurus is a sign known for its down-to-earth practicality and love of tactile sensations. It’s a Fixed, Earth sign which is very steadfast, stubborn and unable and unwilling to accept change and for the above reasons Taurus is known as a very dependable sign always arriving at its prefixed goals with its slow and steady attitude. Venus in Taurus also endures romantic situations that most others would have already abandoned. Venus in Taurus is [...]
VENUS IN CANCER 7 MAY 2023 The caring partner or the stingy lover…from socialite to motherly 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? Especially since Venus will remain OOB until the 2nd of June. 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[...]
VENUS IN PISCES In love with love On the 26-27 of January (depending on where you are in the world), Venus, the planet of love, romance, harmony and values, glides into the sign of Pisces, the sign of its exaltation, ruled traditionally by Jupiter and where Neptune, modern co-ruler of Pisces, has been transiting since April 2011. On the 15th of February (a day after Valentine’s Day) Venus and Neptune will be cuddling up real close (24°04’ Pisces in longitude and also tightly parallel by declination). What might that mean? That we may be lost in a realm of fantasy, washed [...]

VENUS ENTERS CAPRICORN 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. Although in daytime triplicity and in its own term from 0-5°59’ this nevertheless doesn’t seem to be the best placement for a [...]
