ISLAND ASTROLOGER: VENUS COMES WALTZING HOME

Venus, the irresistibly charming beauty of the planets, has just waltzed from Virgo into Libra. In the process, she has picked up great dignity, as Virgo is a frustrating place for her to hang out and Libra is her home temple. It feels as though an elegant socialite just entered an opulent party after being stuck at work miserably crunching numbers. Themes of relationship, love, beauty, grace and money can now course through us more freely, so enjoy the flow. Simultaneously, we have cold, authoritative Saturn in Aquarius helping to constrain impulsive Mars in Gemini, so it is a good time to focus thoughtful action in pursuit of the greater good.

Here are your Venus entering Libra horoscopes. Read for your rising and sun signs.

Libra

Sept. 23 – Oct. 23
