Jerry Lee Lewis' hit "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On," describes what's happening right now -- because five days ago, Venus moved into Virgo; three days ago, Mercury moved into Libra; tomorrow Mars moves into Scorpio; and the Sun moves into Libra. Four planetary changes! This is why it feels like everything is moving fast. It can be exciting, but it can also be unnerving. Mercury affects our communications. Venus affects our relationships. Mars affects our energy and sex drive; and the Sun shifts our focus on our everyday world. This week promises exciting times, power struggles, fights and high drama. By the weekend, everyone can take it easy. Until then, keep your wits about you and remember - he who hesitates is miles away from the next exit.
For the next four weeks, your relations with partners, spouses and close friends are important. This is your chance to clarify and explain issues to someone. (You might even discuss difficulties that have arisen in the relationship itself.) This is also a good time to make contracts or enter into negotiations; however, you could encounter conflicts with anything that is jointly held - including inheritances and debt. Fortunately, Venus will help you to discuss these agreements openly. Venus in Virgo will also encourage you to think more about what you eat. While the Sun opposes your sign, you need more rest. Treat yourself with enough sleep. Go to bed.
You will work hard in the next four weeks. Your standards will be high. Not only will you want to get a lot done, you'll want to be efficient! Because of this, you might criticize coworkers. Lighten up because they're probably not as motivated as you are. Your high standards might extend to your health, as well. You might entertain a new fad, or adopt a new eating regime, or exercise more because you will do something to improve your health. Mars opposite your sign can make you annoyed with others - especially partners and spouses. Stay chill. Instead, focus on the opportunities that Venus offers you to enjoy fun outings, sports events, playful activities with kids and perhaps a meaningful overnight relationship.
It's time for amusing past times. Seek pleasure. Enjoy fascinating conversations. Read, write, and play games that require mental agility. (Clever you). You might play some pranks because both your ruler Mercury and the Sun are in the most playful part of your chart. (This happens once a year for four weeks.) A celestial influence will urge you do exactly what you want! You might have greater concern for children. Relationships will be lighthearted. Meanwhile, Venus will encourage redecorating and entertaining at home; even though Mars in your House of Employment will make you want to work hard and get things done. "It's a beautiful day at the Red Pony and continual soiree. This is Henry."
Venus is now in your House of Communications making your words sweet, which is why others will find you charming and diplomatic. Because you'll have a greater appreciation of your daily environment, you will more easily see beauty in the world around you. Bonus! This new placement of the Sun and Mercury will increase your focus on family and home. Family discussions will take place, perhaps about home repairs. Mars has moved into a fun-loving, romantic part of your chart encouraging competitive sports, socializing and titillating flirtations. Enjoy relaxing at home. Entertain everyone with your wit and humour!
The pace of your days is accelerating! Short trips, increased reading, writing and studying plus errands, appointments and discussions with siblings and relatives give you a jam-packed schedule. (It's fun busy - not hectic busy.) Increased activity on the home front might create chaos. What sweetens the pot is Venus will attract money to you, (so handy when you want to buy things). Many of you will buy beautiful gifts for yourself and others. You might even get a raise. With the Sun in your House of Communications, this is the perfect time to tell someone how you feel about something. Don't leave them in the dark. Be clear about your position. Speak up.
Four planets are changing signs, and one of them brings fair Venus to Virgo, which will increase your desire to relate to everyone, and make you project feelings of warmth and agreement. Pleasure will rank above work. Good times with friends, short vacations and anything that is fun and pleasing will be your first choice. Because both the Sun and Mercury have moved into your Money House, your focus on earnings and cash flow will grow. "Shops must be visited. Money must be spent!" Mars in your House of Communications will make you forthright, direct and commanding in your style of speech. (Is it time to put the b back in subtle?)
The Sun has moved into your sign to stay for four weeks, giving you the chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of year. The Sun will not only boost your energy; it will attract people and favourable situations to you as well. Please note: This happens only once a year, and it means your first duty is to yourself. You'll find that you have a greater need to express yourself. You have something to say! Mercury has also moved into Libra as well, increasing your desire to express your views. This is why you must find a sympathetic listener. Get out and travel if possible. Secret love affairs are likely. This is an excellent time to scrutinize your possessions. Do they work for you? Perhaps you might rethink your throw pillows?
Once every two years, fiery Mars enters your sign to stay for six weeks. This is happening right now giving you a marvelous boost to your energy, drive, focus and aggression. This is why you'll be much more of a fighter for your own rights than usual. (Also, the defender of others.) Your physical energy will be high, which means you'll be able to do a lot of work and get things done. This is a positive time in your life. Venus is in your House of Friendships sweetening relations with groups, organizations and friends. The Sun and Mercury are hiding in your chart, which will make you want to keep a low profile until your birthday arrives. Sit pretty.
Get ready for a popular month because both the Sun and Mercury have entered your House of Friendship activating your interest in groups and organizations. Friendships will be more important; and it will be easy for you to cooperate with others. This is why the next four weeks are a great time to socialize, as well as to observe your friends. Are these your people? Are you a member of their tribe? Be confident about establishing who you are so that you can fit in with a group dynamic. Venus is now at the top of your chart creating favourable circumstances for your business and professional life. Bosses and people in authority will admire you. Romance with someone older might begin. A pleasant planetary combo!
The next four weeks are special for you because it's the only time all year when the Sun is at the top of your chart, casting you (symbolically) in a flattering spotlight. This means you look good to others, especially bosses and VIPs - even if you don't do anything different. (It's smoke and mirrors.) You can use this to your advantage! Go after what you want. Make your pitch. Submit an application. Ask for a favour. See what happens. Travel for pleasure as well as romance with someone "different" will also make life interesting. Use diplomacy when dealing with groups, organizations and friends in the next few weeks because you might be coming on too strong. Demonstrate grace under pressure.
In the next four weeks, you'll have a strong urge to travel and discover new things. If you can, get out and see new places! If not, travel through books and film. Mars is now at the top of your chart where it will stay for six weeks arousing your ambition. Oh yes, you mean business! Venus has just moved into one of your Money Houses, encouraging gifts, goodies and favours to come your way. This is a wonderful backdrop to support your ability to improve your existing job or get a better job. Yes, it's all coming together. Have you noticed that the more things change, the more they stay insane?
With the four major changes taking place right now (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars) - you're bombarded with different influences and messages. Venus will improve all your relationships - personal, marital and professional. (You can't beat that.) Mars will make you eager to travel and explore your surroundings. You will seek out intellectual discussions and defend your beliefs. You might also be involved more with the law. Both the Sun and Mercury will push you to privacy and passion. (Oh yes - you'll play your cards close to your heaving bosom.) Discussions about shared property, inheritances and financial matters will be significant. It looks like you can do pretty much what you want. Sweet!
