ASTRO THEME
Moon into Taurus. Today’s a major day in the 2009 astrological calendar as Jupiter changes signs, moving from Capricorn into Aquarius, where he’ll stay for the next 12 months. Of course, as Jupiter is the planet of good luck and expansion, this is particularly good news for Aquarians (and their opposite sign Leo), but it’s also good news for us all in one way or another. Put it this way, no matter what your Star sign, your luck in one part of your life is about to change – stay tuned for more info.
ARIES
Where the love planet Venus goes, love follows… This week, Venus moves into your twelfth house of secrets and sleep, where she'll stay for around four weeks. If you find yourself being required to make some sacrifices for someone you love at any point over the next few weeks, do it with pleasure, if you can. This Venus cycle is partly about putting someone else's needs before your own. You might not get instant thanks for what you do, but the good karma will eventually find its way back to you. On the other hand, be very careful to avoid bad karma now. Especially be careful if you're thinking about getting involved with someone who is not really available to you. Quell any desires to get involved in any love triangles. Let me put it bluntly: take care before you either have an affair or seduce someone who's attached elsewhere. You have been warned! Similarly, be careful if you feel like you're giving or getting mixed messages romantically now – sometimes during this cycle it's impossible to be CLEAR. Confused by love? Far better to be patient. Being in this cycle means the next Venus cycle sees the love planet in your own sign. And if you think that sounds good, you're right.
TAURUS
Where the love planet Venus goes, love follows… This week, Venus moves into your eleventh house of wishes and friends, where she'll stay for around four weeks. This Venus cycle sprinkles some magic love dust over you and your friends. OK that might sound a bit ridiculous but watch over the next few weeks. It should start to become pretty obvious which of your friends are worth keeping for life, as your relationships grow warmer and lovelier. Anyone who makes you feel less than great about yourself could be cut off your Christmas card list now. Even if life has been tough of late, being with people you love will be extra rewarding over the next four weeks. Expect to find it easier than usual to meet new people, if you know the time has come to expand your circle. If there's something you're keen to accomplish now and you need a friend's help, just ask. If you're sexy but single and looking for love, this is the ideal time to either go to as many parties as you're invited to, or to throw a party or dinner part of your own and see what happens. Anywhere that you have to spend time with lots of people rather than one on one is best for you over the new few weeks.
GEMINI
Where the love planet Venus goes, love follows… This week, Venus moves into your tenth house of work, where she'll stay for around four weeks. Venus is in many ways, the Great Attractor. Wherever she appears in your chart is where you suddenly find yourself able to attract people to you, charming them as you go. Right now, Venus in your work zone means you can expect your professional life to pick up. If you've been waging wars with office politics, relax. You are entering a four-week period when you'll find it much easy to negotiate your way to peaceful agreements with co-workers and clients alike. Alternatively, you can use this cycle to bring in more business as people find themselves quite simply being drawn to you. If you want to convince someone to invest in your ideas, don't delay. Now is a great time to speak up. If you're contemplating or actually having a romance at work, Venus' move through your tenth house means the relationship gets a chance to blossom. Because this part of your chart is associated with the planet of age, you could easily find yourself being drawn to someone either a lot younger or older than you.
CANCER
Where the love planet Venus goes, love follows… This week, Venus moves into your ninth house of study, travel and adventure, where she'll stay for around four weeks. If you're about to head off into the wild blue yonder on an adventure, you really do have the stars on your side. Expect excitement, fun and plenty of excellent memories to come home with. If you're going with a lover, it could be an extremely romantic getaway which teaches you both about each other. If you're off somewhere as a single and you're open to meeting someone, that could be exactly what happens. If you're not going anywhere during this cycle, all is far from lost. Singles could find themselves drawn to someone from out of town now, while couples have a chance to step back from their relationship for a moment, to see the Big Picture of where you're going and what you're doing. Be grateful for what you have. The part of your chart being stimulated by Venus is also the part of your chart which broadens your mind. Love, romance, adventure, study and self-improvement will all do that for you, now and over the next four weeks. Foreigners and people recently returned from out of town or overseas should also hold extra interest.
LEO
Where the love planet Venus goes, love follows… This week, Venus moves into your eighth house of sex, money, intimacy and taboos, where she'll stay for around four weeks. This is one of the sexiest transits of Venus – though sometimes it's very subtle. This is the part of your chart where you keep your feelings re jealousy and possessiveness, so be careful if you have a tendency in one of those directions. If you've already been struggling with one or both of those issues recently, matters can be expected to come to a head at some point over the next month. Subconscious psychological patterns which influence you when you're in a relationship are likely to become more obvious – analyse yourself and see what you see. Be honest with yourself. Are you scared of letting someone get too close? What tactics are you using to keep them away? Sexually, this could be a super-charged month – make sure you don't go getting in over your head, if you decide to Do Your Eighth House Thing and smash down taboos. Go at your own pace. Financially, this part of your chart is about shared cash – the coming four weeks is a particularly good time to either ask for a raise or a loan.
VIRGO
Where the love planet Venus goes, love follows… This week, Venus moves into your seventh house of love, where she'll stay for around four weeks. As you might expect, having the Planet Of Love in your Love Zone is pretty good news for you on the relationship front. As Venus passes through this part of your chart, you can expect to be easier to get along with, plain and simple, and that alone will instantly sweeten all your friendships and relationships. Added to this the astro-fact that Venus here also means it's easier to express yourself and your warmest feelings to others, and you start to get an idea of your pulling power over the next four weeks. Singles should get out and mingle, while happy couples should lap up the Happy Couples vibes. Unhappy couples find themselves focusing on their love life now – look for a way to come to a gently accord with each other. And beyond romance, all partnerships of all descriptions are favored under these astro conditions, including business partnerships. You are a Peace Maker Extraordinaire right now – don't be afraid to use your skills as and when you need to, for yourself and for others.
LIBRA
Where the love planet Venus goes, love follows… This week, Venus moves into your sixth house of daily work and health routines, where she'll stay for around four weeks. This is perhaps the least sexy of all the Venus transits BUT before you start feeling ripped off, be glad! Someone Else can take a back seat for a while as you use the coming four weeks to work on yourself body, mind and spirit. Venus loves to be pampered so she if you can book yourself in for a massage or day spa, if you like that kind of thing. If you'd rather Do It Yourself, book yourself in a night alone where you can give yourself a candlelit bubble bath, manicure and pedicure (and NO this doesn't apply to women only!) Venus here is also good news for you at work – you should find yourself feeling more amiable around the office, and you can pretty much expect your colleagues and clients to notice and approve, too. (And good things happen when those around us like us more than usual!) Romance-wise, this is the time to address the practical matters, rather than aiming for a love and hearts and flowers situation.
SCORPIO
Where the love planet Venus goes, love follows… This week, Venus moves into your fifth house of fun, where she'll stay for around four weeks. There nothing that the planet of pleasure, Venus, likes more than enjoying herself. And as she goes through your House Of Fun, having a good time is Number 1 Mission. If you needed some kind of excuse to stop worrying and start indulging, you have it; Venus in this part of your chart means you are almost duty-bound to work less and to spoil and amuse yourself more. This Venus cycle is also good news for singles looking to meet someone, because your fifth house rules romance – of the light-hearted variety. Certainly, if there were ever a time to get out there and shimmy your shui, this is that time. Couples don't miss out, either. If you don't find some of the old romance seeping back into your relationship over the next four weeks, it might be time to start talking to each other about your romantic expectations. Romance each other. This transit is also excellent for anyone with issues connected to children (your own or someone else's) – matter should be more easily negotiated and resolved. Good news really is possible. Ditto if you are working on an artistic or creative project. Your ability should be extra high – now all you need to do is discipline yourself to harness your extra creative ability!
SAGITTARIUS
Where the love planet Venus goes, love follows… This week, Venus moves into your fourth house of home and family, where she'll stay for around four weeks. This marks the start of a relatively quiet time when you're far more likely to be found happily ensconced at home than out on the town. Book your calendar up over the next four weeks so that you get to spend plenty of time chez toi, either with a loved one, friends or family, or at least a couple of DVDs and a loving cat. Venus here in this part of your chart is less visible than she is in other sectors. If you want to take time out from the hustle and bustle, do so. You have the skies on your side. It's clichéd but true – home really is where the heart is for you now. You can expect to feel quite peaceful over the next few weeks – what you'll want is to proceed quietly, surrounded (if possible) only by people you love. You only get this chance to reconnect with this side of yourself once a year, so make the most of it. If you're thinking of doing up your home, renovating or decorating, you have the stars totally on your side.
CAPRICORN
Where the love planet Venus goes, love follows… This week, Venus moves into your third house of communications, thoughts and Your Every Day life, where she'll stay for around four weeks. This is a wonderful transit if life has been a little tough over the past few days or even weeks. For one thing, if you've been working too hard and/or worrying too much to enjoy yourself, that phase is about to end. In fact, you can expect to start feeling quite sociable now. If you're single and looking for love, you'd do well to accept any and all invitations coming your way now. People are going to be extra drawn to you as Venus gives you the gift of the Charming Gab – your words are going to be more seductive to Someone Else's ears than ever. For that reason, if you want to tell someone how much you care for them, the coming four weeks are the ideal time. Whatever else happens, you can expect to have Love On The Brain. Also this month, pay attention to those around you – you may not have realised how much love there is in your life, especially in your immediate environment. Take no one's love for granted! This Venus cycle is also good news if you either wish you could spend more time with your siblings (the chance should arise) or if you've had a falling out with a brother or sister and want to make up. Extend the olive branch.
AQUARIUS
Where the love planet Venus goes, love follows… This week, Venus moves into your second house of cash, property and possessions, where she'll stay for around four weeks. On the one hand, you do need to watch yourself, if you know you have a tendency to spend more than you should. You could find yourself feeling very flush now – but be sure you can cover your basic expenses before you go lashing out cash on something which has taken your fancy but which you maybe should be hesitating over. Your tastes might be more expensive than usual but before you give into your desires, double check with your accountant or whoever else is likely to go "Tsk tsk" if and when you spend up big on things you don't really need! The up side of this Venus cycle is that you can expect more financial opportunities to come your way. Keep your eyes peeled and you could find the period lucrative. Also use this four-week period as a chance to work on your self-esteem. Don't just think about that – do it. Start by making a list of what you know is Uniquely Wonderful about you. Seriously. Then ask your best friend what he/she thinks is Uniquely Wonderful about you. Try it.
PISCES
Where the love planet Venus goes, love follows… This week, Venus moves into your first house of self and image, where she'll stay for around four weeks. This is a wonderful Venus cycle for you – Venus is the planet of love, luxury, beauty and all things gorgeous. To have her in your sign means it's Your Turn to start feeling her charms. Singles can expect to have more admirers than usual. Couples who've been feeling less than their best should find it easy to find ways to rediscover the romance. And whether you're single or attached, you can expect to feel a lot more loved and even downright popular over the next few weeks. Those in problematic relationships are not promised an Instant Cure but (a) you should find more time to work on your relationship and (b) you should find it easier to negotiate your way to at least some kind of agreement. Appearance-wise, this is The Moment Of The Year to invest in a haircut, some new clothes, whatever it takes, to make you feel more worship-worthy.
