This week, the goddess of love comes home. Venus has been trudging along through Virgo since Sept. 20, making it difficult to have an easygoing air with friends and loved ones while overanalyzing our spending habits. However, she just moved into her home sign of Libra, where she can finally put her plans into practice, host her parties and find some balance. Venus in Libra makes it easier for us to align with the things we love and value because she is all about harmony and fairness, particularly on the collective level. How are you enacting your passions in a way that benefits not just you, but also those around you? How are you engaging in acts that support social justice or bring grace into our turbulent world? Now is the time to answer those questions and take action. As she crosses the threshold into Libra, Venus faces off with the dreamy and nebulous Neptune in Aries. When Venus and Neptune get together, it is a time for high romance, idealizing our lovers, pursuing our dreams and tapping into ethereal joys. This planetary formation has us dreaming a new identity for ourselves while figuring out how to share that with others peacefully. Be careful not to chase pipe dreams, but remember everything begins as a vision.
Here are your horoscopes for Venus entering Libra in opposition to Neptune. Read for your rising and sun signs.
