Aries

Venus enters your solar second house today, dear Aries. Until May 8th, your love life or your affections steady and stabilize. This transit boosts your powers of attraction with money, gifts, favors, and valuables. You are gracious when handling yourself and more likely to take the high road if needed. Increased self-respect reverberates and benefits you. You are attracting the good things in life! Your appetite for nice things can grow–building and collecting are appealing during this cycle. Exhibiting patience with money and business can be particularly helpful to you. It’s also a stellar time for developing your talents or using them in pleasing ways. You’re skilled at managing your resources and using people skills to move your business forward. While you may be a little bit self-indulgent, possessive, or acquisitive during this cycle, it’s excellent for getting comfortable and learning about your needs. Today’s transits might temporarily confuse desires or frustrate actions, particularly if you’ve been taking on too many different things, and now you’re faced with some of the resultant chaos. You may feel a little rebellious about making nice with others or doing your errands and handling everyday affairs. Watch that in your haste you don’t make rash moves or statements.

Taurus

Venus enters your sign today, dear Taurus, and it’s a pleasant, enlivening influence that lasts until May 8th. In the weeks ahead, you radiate good energy, and you tend to attract positive attention and feedback as a result. There can be more clarity in love or with your affections. Others recognize your more attractive and desirable traits, more so than usual, and you tend to do more self-pampering or treating yourself to things you genuinely enjoy. It’s a time for living well and putting the right kind of vibes out there to attract pleasantness into your life. Because Venus also rules your work and health sector, it can also be a good period for these matters. Today, you could feel some impatience with methods or processes that seem to be getting in the way of your efforts, or there can be tensions about being treated as valuable o with your resources. As much as you want to build upon current projects or save your money, for example, you could be fighting impulses to splurge or follow a whim today.

Gemini

Venus enters your solar twelfth house, where it will transit until May 8th, dear Gemini. This cycle can be a time of greater understanding of the more spiritual side of love or a time of making sacrifices in the name of love. Your affections are private or in a state of flux, but your compassion engages more fully, which can draw you to people who need help. Benefits can come through behind-the-scenes efforts. It’s an excellent time for enjoying some level of solitude and privacy, as well as for becoming very cozy with your inner world. Ideally, you gain a greater understanding of your past and your deeper feelings about recent events. Intuition is heightened, particularly with people, and so is sensitivity, so take special care of yourself during this period. Today, there can be nuisances that seem to clash with your independent streak. Impatience and changes of plans can be part of the picture, but they might also lead to interesting detours. Watch for confusing impulses with instincts. Avoid making sudden moves that work against your best interests by learning your true desires.

Cancer  

The Moon spends the day in your sector of dreams, plans, wishes, and friends, dear Cancer. You more readily connect with your happiness goals now. Your inventive side can be interesting for you to explore, and it might provide some pleasant returns. With the Sun and Mars in harmony, you want to handle problems right away rather than let them fester or grow, and this is probably the right time to take action. You have a wonderful sense of what people want. Your intuition tends to back up your decisions. This can be a time to arrive at a meaningful conclusion about specific directions your life is taking, especially the appropriate course of action. You might make a career move or judgment that sets you on an improved path. Enthusiasm stirred up now can take you far.

Leo  

Today’s Venus-Saturn transit is supportive and steadying, dear Leo. While there may be some reserve in your relationships and connections, there can be an excellent feeling of constancy. Attention to strengthening projects and relationships can have long-term benefits. It’s a good time to dedicate yourself to a project or activity that requires your strong attention. You’re likely to enjoy a pleasant, steady atmosphere around you that is comfortable and satisfying. Clarity may come to a relationship, or you benefit from a helpful and constructive conversation. Old wisdom or experience may come into play. Focus on strengthening ties in the long run and be as patient as possible with others for best results now. It can feel good to consider your commitments and how you might honor them. It’s a day for recognizing the importance and value of trust in our relationships.

Virgo  

The Moon heads into your communications sector for a couple of days, dear Virgo, and you seek mentally engaging activities. However, with Venus and Saturn harmonizing today, it’s a good time for realistic assessments related to your health, work, or financial matters. You can more clearly see what needs to be improved or changed, and making adjustments comes with few if any regrets. Meeting responsibilities feels satisfying, and you might apply wisdom or good advice with success. It’s a good time to repair or boost relationships in simple but effective ways. Showing affection through loyalty and reliability is well-supported right now. Work that requires analysis or research is likely to go especially well.

Libra

Mercury moves into harmony with your sign after spending time tucked away in your home sector, dear Libra, and it can feel quite liberating as you become less guarded. With Mercury now in your entertainment, romance, and pleasure sector, it’s more comfortable and natural to express your ideas and opinions. You’re more communicative and friendly during this cycle that lasts until March 15th, and you’re inclined to seek intellectual entertainment or mental stimulation. There can be a stronger need for communications and movement in a romantic relationship. Later today, a theme of impatience or disagreement can emerge, although it’s rather quick to evaporate. It’s best not to speak too soon or without thinking while it lasts, as what you say may not represent how you feel. Disruptions now can stir up new ideas, but it’s best to watch for abrupt moves to avoid complications. If you are impatient with others instead of assertive and direct, then you run the risk of unnecessary stress.

Scorpio  

Mercury begins its transit of the sector of your solar chart that rules heart, home, and family, dear Scorpio. Thought processes are inward and intuitive during this cycle that lasts until March 15th. There can be a lot to learn about (or through) family and close loved ones in the weeks ahead. Thoughts and conversations often turn to domestic affairs, family concerns, or the past. You are not as communicative in the outside world, and you may not feel quite as understood or “heard” at this time. You may be a little more guarded than usual with your thoughts and ideas. However, it’s another story in your personal life, which is far busier. Later today, there can be some tensions if you give in to pressures to push a matter or to rush through things. There can be some abruptness in communications or actions, which might lead to unnecessary complications. Kept under check, you may find ways to break out along a new path of expression. Try not to rush things, and don’t let others boss you around, and you’ll have a better chance of resolving problems.

 

Sagittarius  

Mercury completes its transit of your resources sector, dear Sagittarius, and now enters your communications sector. As the planet of communications, it feels right at home there! This cycle that lasts until March 15th helps you make sharper assessments and gain some mental clarity. It encourages reaching out, making connections, picking up new interests and skills, and sharing your ideas. Learning, teaching, studying, and conversations flow naturally now. Later today, Mercury forms a hard aspect to Mars, which can generate some tension if you give in to pressures to rush something through. Impatience can be a problem, particularly with ideas. Simplifying or focusing on one thing at a time may help. Watch for hasty moves and jumping too quickly to conclusions. Slowing down just a little can ultimately get you where you want to go, if not faster, more smoothly.

 

Capricorn 

Mercury moves out of your sign and into your resources sector today, dear Capricorn, where it will stay until March 15th. This influence is beneficial for your practical affairs–you’re bringing more intelligence and attention to matters related to finances, valuables, possessions, and security or comfort. These very things can also be strongly on your mind in the weeks ahead! You can pick up useful, practical information, mainly because this is the kind of information you seek most. Later today, Mercury and Mars form a challenging square aspect, and it’s best not to rush conclusions or statements. It’s far easy to say something you later regret under this influence. It may not be easy to relax temporarily, but tension might push you to take care of something you’ve let go. Taking something as an intellectual challenge may be your best bet. Moderation and patience are key, even if they’re difficult to put into practice.

 

Aquarius 

The Moon spends the day at the top of your solar chart, inclining you to nurture your ambitions today, dear Aquarius. You’re especially aware of your influence and reputation now. Also today, Mercury enters your sign, and until March 15th, you’re finding your voice and making snappier decisions. It’s a self-starting and sometimes restless cycle. You may need to put a little extra effort into making time to relax. Otherwise, it’s a strong period for mental clarity. You prefer to take the lead when it comes to mental or intellectual tasks rather than consult others or collaborate. While Mercury transiting your sign is a mostly helpful influence, it forms a square to Mars today, and you should watch for the tendency to jump the gun. It’s best not to rush now — problems may result from pushing something too quickly. Try not to give in to pressures to say or do something in haste. It’s also possible that family or home matters can conflict with your plans, or people close to you may be annoyed by your attention to other things. There may be a disagreement that requires putting egos aside to resolve.

Pisces 

Mercury begins its transit of your privacy sector today, dear Pisces. Until March 15th, your decision-making skills and thought processes tend to be more intuitive, inward, or solitary. It’s a good cycle for processing recent experiences, as well as for reasoning your way through issues that you’ve left unfinished or pushed to the side. You can arrive at a greater understanding of your life, and you might help others with words of advice and wisdom. You’re looking at the past from a new perspective and paying more attention to your private life. Even so, Mercury forms a challenging aspect to Mars later today, and it can fire you up to take care of a problem area. However, it’s better to avoid rushing words or actions now. Unresolved matters can weigh on your mind, which can distract you or incline you to rush through communications. Tense or rushed speech can, in turn, lead to unnecessary complications or misunderstandings. There might also be competitiveness with others that irritates rather than motivates. Try not to put plans into motion because you’re impatient–wait until you’re confident and have time to put more thought into them.
