All Signs
In July, lucky Jupiter moved into Leo to stay for a year. (The last time was 2002-03.) Six days later, the Sun moved into Leo to stay for four weeks. At the beginning of August, Mercury moved into Leo and this week, Venus moves into Leo to stay until Sept, 5. (A bit much of a muchness but you can't make this stuff up!) Of course, Leos aren't complaining. In truth, every sign feels a shift when any planet moves into any sign. ("I feel a great disturbance in the Force.") Venus is where we have our bias. Venus is love and beauty and sometimes money. It is social and it draws things to us. Venus can spin a love affair and boost pleasure and fun in our lives. Mae West, a Leo, said. "Too much of a good thing can be wonderful!"
Aries (March 21-April 19)
It's in the bag. The numbers are in. There is no longer any doubt that you're headed for Fun City. In the next month, expect wonderful, entertaining diversions and possible love affairs. Get ready to enjoy sports, the arts and playful times with children. You can let your hair down, try whatever you want to do and express your creative talents! You will enjoy doing exactly what you want because there is no need to pretend to be anything that you are not. Life will be liberating! Accept all invitations to parties, creative events, vacation escapes and situations that might kindle a romance that sizzles. Well, at least, one that gives you butterflies in your stomach. Lucky you!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Fair Venus is the planet that rules your sign, which is why you love beautiful things and have excellent money savvy. In the next month, you will enjoy peaceful moments at home. You will take pride in making your home more gracious and you will also enjoy your love of family by entertaining friends and family at your always welcoming table. You will also thrill to redecorating projects and an opportunity to enhance the beauty of where you live. Venus will prompt you to make your home as inviting as possible. Display your collectibles. Enjoy fine fabrics soft to the touch. Dine by candlelight. (People look better.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You are the wordsmith of the zodiac. You love information, news, gossip and hearing the latest buzz. This week Venus enters a part of your chart that makes your everyday world more pleasant and beautiful. In fact, you might be surprised to discover how much beauty there is all around you! Not only that, you will also discover how much love there is in your everyday world. Naturally, it will be appropriate to let others know how much you care for them. (Don't leave them guessing.) You will enjoy opportunities to express your affection through letters, e-mails, cards, texts and hidden notes. The power of the pen! (Of course, words cannot express what words cannot express.)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Taurus has a lot of financial savvy and knows how to make money. But the reason you have money is because you keep it. Oh yeah. In the month ahead, there's a strong likelihood that Venus will attract money, financial opportunities and material possessions to you. This will also tempt you to spend! And spend lavishly! Fortunately, Venus will favour and help you in all financial negotiations, which will give you the upper hand. But as fast as money comes in, it will go out on beautiful art objects, jewelry and marvelous things for your garden and kitchen. Is this really you - blowing your money like that? Oh well, better to be nouveau than never to have been be riche at all.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Tra la, tra la, it is to laugh. The Sun, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter are all in your sign! Venus in Leo makes you eager to relate to others in a warm, friendly and genuine way. It's a great time to take a vacation and enjoy the company of others because remember - Venus always ranks pleasure above work. This means when you indulge in pleasure and fun - you won't feel guilty. It's a mix between "I love this" and "I deserve this." Entitled? (Aren't you always?) Venus will attract others to you, and it will also help you to make beautiful choices, especially buying wardrobe goodies, jewelry and art.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This handful of Leo planets is actually hidden in your chart. This doesn't mean you don't get a chance to reap the pleasurable rewards of the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter in Leo; instead it means you will find your satisfaction through helping others and being useful. You will find it easy to demonstrate forbearance and grace in difficult circumstances. Others will be grateful and will admire you. In turn, you will get the gratification for helping someone you love. Admittedly, it can also bring secret love affairs into your world. After all, one doesn't have to be a saint, for gawd's sake.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
This huge emphasis of planets in Leo amplifies your opportunities for popularity and schmoozing. And this suits you just fine! After all, you are a social sign who enjoys friends and fun occasions - a drink on the balcony, a good table at a nice restaurant and a lively discussion around the dinner table. Venus will attract invitations to you from groups and friends. The bottom line will be that you will enjoy parties and an opportunity to go out with others to have a good time. Any group setting will be blessed - whether it's a business conference, a classroom or a casual setting. You'll feel secure within this group -- respected and loved. In fact, a friend could become a lover.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
"May you live in interesting times" was actually a Chinese curse. Nevertheless, with five planets in Leo at high noon in your chart, life will be interesting! People will notice you and they will see you in flattering terms. In turn, you will be eager to talk to others, especially authority figures, and you will do so easily. Venus, of course, will attract favourable circumstances in your business and professional life that will help you. Others might ask for your creative input about redecorating, art, layout and design. Meanwhile, because Venus has a strong relationship to romance - you might begin flirtations with your boss or someone who is older or richer.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You are a Fire sign, and when there are five planets in a fellow Fire sign - life rocks! This heavy focus of the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter will attract all kinds of travel opportunities to you. ("These are my people".) This strong influence also attracts opportunities for you to explore in publishing, the media, medicine, the law and higher education. In other words, you can broaden your horizons, explore new fields, learn and study new things while you are traveling for pleasure. What a bore, right? Not! Romance with someone from another culture or a different country might develop. Get out and enjoy art exhibits and the beautiful creations of others.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This gaggle of planets in Leo actually sits in one of your Money houses. Oh yes, and it gets even better. This influence stimulates the generosity of others to you, which means you will benefit from the wealth and resources of partners, other people, the government and financial institutions. In fact, any relationship where you share finances - for example, a credit card company or a bank, will benefit and enrich you in the coming weeks. Just say "Thank you!" Needless to say, the next few weeks are the perfect time to go for a loan or a mortgage. This same influence also magnifies your sex drive and sweetens all intimate relationships. (Mom always liked you best.)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Well, this is most unusual. Now we have five planets 180 degrees opposite from Aquarius. (Leo and Aquarius are opposite signs.) This strongly draws your focus to partnerships and close friendships. In fact, this position of Venus is considered the best position for all relationships including love affairs and professional partnerships. It is so good, you can even improve your relationships with your enemies! Basically, you find it easy to express your affections to others and vice versa. You effortlessly arrive at an understanding with others that is warm, friendly and mutually beneficial. Now is the time to make peace where there is conflict. This is a great time to marry or enter into partnerships including legal confrontations.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
This strong influence of five planets in one sign creates marvelous opportunities for you to improve your job. At the risk of sounding repetitious, you can get a better job or better duties or a better work situation. Venus will help you to discuss whatever arrangements you want. It's a particularly good time to discuss agreements and the boundaries of what others expect from you in terms of duties and obligations. Venus can also turn a work relationship into a cozy romantic connection. It will attract financial and other favours to you, and at the same time, while things are going so swimmingly - it will boost your health as well! Awriiight!
