Happy Aquarius season, and a very happy solar return (i.e., birthday) to you color-outside-the-lines Aquarians!
Approaching the end of Venus’s 40-day retrograde, we should start breathing easier in our relationships and get clearer on what we value. From our perspective here on Earth, Venus, the planet of lovin’ and pleasin’, will turn direct on Saturday, and she will be doing so in a cozy relationship with Uranus, the planet of freedom and surprise. Prepare for an unexpected insight or flash of liberation.
Here are your horoscopes for the end of Venus retrograde. Read for your sun and rising signs.
Aquarius
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
You should start to feel a bit less neurotic in your contemplations of love, or you’ll at least start to find your way on the social map. Perhaps you’ll actually realize how much you love your solitude. Your home space is emphasizing this by offering a sense of freedom and originality, so relish in the love of your dwelling. Don’t get lazy though, no matter how comfy your pillows. Your body needs to move, too.
Pisces
Feb. 19 – March 20
You’ve been reflecting on the values of your social network, and are about to get clear on those. Are the people who surround you holding you up? ‘Cause if they’re not it’s time to find a new tribe. You might be surprised by some new chums in your neighborhood; give them a chance. Don’t let the shifting gears of the company you keep turn you into a hermit.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
Have you gained a new perspective on your work-life, oh Fiery One? Your answer will be supported by a revelation in your finances and material needs. I hope it’s a raise (yay!), but could just as easily be a demotion (ugh!). Make sure you value your work and are valued for your work.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
A brave new world awaits you in love and/or a new love of adventure is stirring in you. You’ve been reflecting on the beauty inherent in new experiences, and it’s time to act. You are going to shock yourself a bit, so enjoy the electric rush in your body. However, keep yourself balanced in public because you don’t wanna get messy out there.
Gemini
May 21 – June 21
Love and loss have been on your heart, dear Gem, but clarity is on its way. Have you been reflecting on your feelings of dependence in love? Endings are not easy, but they happen at different scales all the time. Let it go so you can move onward! Spending some solitary meditative time will reap some unexpected benefits as you grapple with these hard topics, but don’t fall too deep down the rabbit hole because you’ve got vistas to explore out there.
Cancer
June 22 – July 22
Deep-feeling Cancer, when Venus turns direct your heart will gain much-needed simplicity with your partner(s). They will help you eek out what you need to feel integrated in relationship. Your friends are here to help too, and they are going to throw you a surprise party! OK, maybe not a real one, but it’s going to feel like you just walked through the door and they’re popping the champagne. Remember to love all of this support, but don’t fall into fixation.
Leo
July 23 – Aug. 22
Suffering is an inherent part of life, but it effing sucks! You’re probably acutely aware of the suffering and work related to matters of the heart right now, valiant Lion. When Venus turns forward on Saturday, however, you’re going to start make some moves to change your station. Actually, your career-space is going to offer some surprising support to help you out. Focus on your partners in work and in love to break out of your infatuation with your toils.
Virgo
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
Well Virgo, this change in Venus’s apparent motion is SEXY for you! Pleasure is at the forefront, both the creative and the physical kind. You’ve been reflecting on your relationship to pleasure lately, and you’re about to get what you’ve been seeking. Get. It. A surprise awaits in lands far away to titillate your love and/or lust – follow the call. Don’t forget to do your chores though.
Libra
Sept. 23 – Oct. 23
So, what are you realizing about home and family when it comes to your heart’s needs? Are you fulfilled right now? However you answer these questions, it is time to let the rubber hit the road. Either invest completely in your place or move onward. A shocking revelation is coming from the realm of death, debt, and inheritance, and while this sounds ominous it is going to support your understanding. Amidst all this noise, remember your art.
Scorpio
Oct. 24 – Nov. 21
You’ve been doing some deep thinking on love, Scorpio. Like, you’ve been getting all philosophical about it. Come Saturday, you’re going to be able to begin to articulate your beautiful thoughts to yourself and to all of us. Let us know what love is! Your ability to communicate the poetry of relationship will be helped out by your companion(s) in love and life. However, remember that your mind is not all of you. Thoughts can change around, but your core should hold firm.
Sagittarius
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
The Centaurs are about to get some answers about their material needs in love and relationship. Romanticism is all well and good, but what about your most basic needs, huh? You gotta eat, you need shelter, you need to feel secure. True love supports these things rather than distracts from them. Getting into routine will offer you a spark of insight here.
Capricorn
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
Love yourself for gosh sakes! Self-love is where you’re at Cap, and it’s about time to make money moves. How are you caring for your mind and body? It’s likely you’ve been reflecting on this, and it’s implementation time. It looks like you’re about to have an epiphany in your creative side. New talent? New baby? Something is stirring here, harness it.
